Maybe a Ducati 916 upper fairing and tail and no lowers to show off the engine.
It's not easy coming up with a frame though. It needs to be reasonably small and be able to be registered as a street bike.
I like supermotos, but that's not what I envision this as.

That would be a nice project.
I would suggest that you look at some of the '70s-80s 2-stroke motocross frames and engine from a Yamaha, Honda or Suzuki for a project like this. You can find a engine/frame like this for almost nothing because old dirt bikes are almost everywhere.
An old dirt bike like this is easy to customize and to find parts for.
Register it as a custom built motorcycle, not as a dirt bike.
