What engine is this?

Can any of you tell me what engine is in the LS650? I'm not familiar with this oiler design.

It is a Savage engine that someone cleverly added a piece to the outside to make it look like there was a pushrod tube on it.  It is just for looks.

It's a towershaft dummy on a Savage engine.
Nice looking though.

Thanks for your expertise!  I couldn't come to believe it was actually a Suzuki pushrod engine nor had I ever seen one like it.   It sure got my attention.

Besides the phony push rod tube there are a couple of other things that stand out, to me, on this Savage: Note the dropped battery box and rectifier relocated onto the fender. I like both ideas!

looks like it has an after market tank. It also seems to be missing the speedo cable. I wonder what will ahppen when they decide to do something about the exhaust.

FYI: The horn location is typical for European bikes.
He has a bicycle computer installed: see the curled wire around the brake line ( stainless).
The tank appears to be original and the battery box has it's topside ( the plastic part)  removed
The blinker on the steering bar end are the same as mine ( 20usd each).
