The colours a bit out there.
With 75mm pistons it'll be 1170cc not 1160, the carbs are 33mm not 34mm as they're round slide.
Swingarm looks steel not ally, brakes are either AP Lockheed or Grimeca copies, the forks look like standard Z1000J forks and I think the wheels are CMA - Moto Martin never made wheels.

It's looks a decent bike, but I don't think it's worth £8500 (more like £5000 max) and everything in the advert needs checking as a quick visual glance says he doesn't know what he's selling.

Eight years & that's the routing they chose for the rear brake line?
