It's not an odd design at all -- it's the '02-'04 (I think those are the years) R6. It was a great bike, so rather than retiring it when they redesigned the R6, they made it the R6S.
Seriously a great bike (it's actually on my short list for when I upgrade). Not quite as screamin fast as the new R6, but also not as extreme of a riding position - it's a bit more comfortable. Where the R6 is a kick-ass track machine, the R6S would make a great daily rider, IMO.
