Hope the owner can describe more fully what exactly was the 'top end work' done. And from the print out that does look like at the crank.
Shame about the random tacky stickers

Edit - Funnily enough I recognise the driveway and bins! I bought my Triumph Tiger from Rugeley a couple of years back
Yup small world - same driveway & bins!! Nice chap Tony as he picked me up from the train station, though house (WIP) had dog poop all over the floor!

There are some nice additions on that for the money. It would feel a cracking deal for £1600 or £1700 I think.

Add says power increased with top end rebuild, date on dyno graph is August 1999 when the bike was 5 months old, doesn't add up to me, I think it's just an old very optimistic dyno and wouldn't expect any more power than any other storm with pipes.

Doesn't it work out as a pretty standard Storm when drive train losses are taken into account? 15% of 121 is 18.15 which makes rear wheel power 103. Seems reasonable to me.

The Revolution full Moriwaki ST1 Firestorm street bikes produced 123bhp to 125bhp @ R/wheel. This figure was verified on a number of independent Dynos. Depending on the specification 121bhp could be a reasonable figure.
