I've not spoken to John for a while but I think he's still got it. I know he had an incident on a trackday at Cadwell (basically he got knocked off by another rider) which lead to a second (or third?) rebuild after those pics were taken. I think John is still posting (as Yeti) over at the www.italiansportingclub.co.uk if you want to get in touch with him.
