A race bike listed with no description. Something tells me the seller is not very motivated.

Interesting contraption bolted to the sump.

Some tracks here require you have a catch tray under the engine for oil and coolant. A bike dropping its Guts just before a corner is not good for the next few behind

Push start only.

yeah, but what if the oil doesn't come from the bottom of the oil pan? That catch pan is worthless if you throw a rod or have a oil line come loose.

Sticker on the tank tells you why it's for sale.

I'd love to try that bike out on the track!

The vintage club that I raced with for many years now require catch pans or something built into the lower fairing to catch oil. Largely it came from things like blown shift seals (common on old 350 Hondas) and spin on oil filters, or oil cooler lines. It doesn't take much to oil down a track. A friend blew a seal on his racer (in the wet) and spent 4 laps trying to avoid the line of oil that some idiot (himself) was laying down on the track! It does happen with older bikes, and once a group or particular class (vintage in this case) has delayed the days racing one too many times, or a rider has gone down on oil and been hurt, you get these changes to the rules. It's not a perfect solution, but it's not a bad idea with old fussy bikes.

Push start only.

Not necessarily Jim. For the race bike we put a handle on the Guzzi starter with studs in the mount holes for alignment, add a push button to the handle and wire it up. Just stick the starter in there and  VROOM!!

Not too long ago I went into a turn a little too hot and wished I'd had a catch tray mounted under my seat...
