It's a VT125 Shadow.

That gap doesn't look dissimilar to photos on Google Images.

I think it's there on purpose, to give extra cooling to the rider's testicles.

My FZ1 has exactly this problem, no matter what I do I can't get the tongue under the slot behind the tank. Damned if I can work out what's getting in the way.
