That looks to me like a Suzuki Bandit 400 frame with some V-twin, (VX800? engine shoe horned in). The Suzuki Savage single was knocking around this time too.

 

The Yamaha SRX 400/ 600 was beautitful, petite and well proportioned, This looks to be some homage to that greatness. Didn't capture the essence though IMO,

 

Virago lump maybe?
