Engine rebuilt featuring nikasil coated 850cc pistons & cylinders for durable long engine life.

Huh? I always wonder about the quality of the mechanical work, when I see stuff like this.

There is also a reason why they webbed the block casting starting w/850's and changed the heads, valves & springs, etc, etc, etc

It's not that uncommon for a seller to be clueless. Looks like this bike was used as a bar decoration. Too bad they chromes the headlight shell and cut the seat tabs off of the back.
