Hah! Well spotted - I wouldn't know one sports bike from another :D

Still, if the concept is copying a reasonably successful bike, they might do ok :)

Ooh. That has a rather purposeful air about it. Wouldn't want one but nice work. :thumbup:

Like it a lot apart from the overly truncated rear end, especially 136bhp & 175kgs 😯 but not so much the £115k price tag...

And looking at that, I don't want to see another. Another bike where it looks like the front forks have collapsed.

Probably because they have. That is ridiculous, by any yardstick. An exhaust header that's about 6 inches long before it hits the silencer? What a crock.

The ad claims it's got Honda GP 125 forks, but they look like R1/6 callipers.

EDIT: Hmm, no calliper mount on the other side, maybe they are 125 forks.

I wouldn't have noticed either, they all look the same to me now.

I once had a bet with someone that I could sit outside the pub with my back to the road and guess what each bike going past was, no tricks, I genuinely couldn't see reflections or anything, I got 100% right and the last one as a joke he asked me which colour and I guessed that right as well :lol:

These days I could walk through a showroom and unless it had the manufacturer on the tank then I'd struggle.

Need more info!!
Just popped up on the MT09 page. TBH it looks like they've just fitted a MX front mudguard and replaced the headlight with number board and of course added some trail tyres.
The handlebars look a bit higher than stock. I like it. :thumbup:
