It's Silhouette (Japan) bodywork.
Very lush stuff. And pricey!

Looks similar to Silhouette alright, I've one on my bike (not the same shape as that, but is a Silhouette product)

On further looks, I'm not so sure it is Silhouette. Can you post a pic of the inside of the nose to show the fibreglass weave. I think it's just an endurance replica.

Re: What's this nose cone?
Rhory had a similar nose on one of his bikes. Silhouette noses are out there, often copied but never to the same quality/standard.

I've got a pic of a bike with that fairing, will find it and post it up here.
