Looks legitmate. Seems they're trying to apply some of the styling cues of 950/990 - ?

Spy shots with the ignition on showing dash. More like teaser shots of what we need next. All those buttons and switches, preflight must take some practice.

Is that the new Diavel
Hey Nerd, what happened to your report on the 790?

Hmmm... interesting.
Tech points to note:
Linkage-operated rear shock, total frame redesign
Bits that I like the look of:
Neat alloy subframe, tidy cowling around the undertray area - look a bit like they've taken an idea from the 790
Header pipe plumbing - nice to see, not copying the Hardly-Worthit look.
The standard silencer is an improvement on the current model
Bits that I'm less keen on:
The profile of the tank and the shrouds looks too much like a GSX-S1000 to me, and that bike is FUGLY!
I'm ambivalent over the 5-spoke wheels, I prefer the look of the current ones (haven't counted my spokes), these look a little flimsy in comparison, but they'll be much easier to clean!
All said, it's just a prototype, much may change between now and launch time...
