I believe that's a Versys, so a parallel twin 650.  The round bit on the
side of the engine is the crank (and possibly alternator) cover.  The
engine bars make it look wider than it really is.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong.  Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
