It's called "Chanel #5" by After Hours Bikes, I've looked for a video of someone riding it, but no joy. If you search youtube for After Hours Bikes, you'll find some videos of people riding similar looking machines. They're sat so low they can hardly see over the fuel tank.

That's nicely done, not over the top. Could be a factory model if not for the exhaust wrap.

I know it's only a potatoshop mock up, but I think this looks excellent.
