The Dispatchers hack, the plastic maggot. Looks interesting and well done from that pic. Got any more pics?
Yep. Sorry no more pics but thought it was done really nicely.

It's not badly priced looking at the rest of them out there.

Is that some posh airbox mod?

I wouldn't expect that without some pipes?

Probably put the stock pipes back on to sell it.

I found them a bit top heavy, I thought the road bike version was better to ride

It definitely seems to be a thing. Decent superduke's are 4k to 5k like this (just picked one in the middle)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KTM-990-SUPE ... 3830125075

Or 1500 more and get a nearly new z900 that's 13 years newer. Bonkers.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2019-KAWASAK ... 3799242069

Or for the same price as the SD a 2014 MT09
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-MT-09 ... 3787037427

I really quite like the 990 SMTs but decent ones of them are 5k which I can't get my head around for a 2010 bike vs a grand or so more for a 2019-2020 bike.

I likes the chrome (or is it nickel) plated frame, love the swingarm (is it a KTM one?), the filters look a bit thin?

They do look too thin, front to back. You won’t know for sure until you try to go fast.

Styling wise, I love those.Took a test ride on one and it felt like a big scooter, maybe its the sunken seat and shortish wheelbase.
