In case any of his mates see him riding that POS, a disguise I guess????

It's the latest KTM prototype disguised to prevent the press taking sneak shots.

Awkward looking position for his left lever.

It’s a twist grip gearchange. The clutch lever swivels up and down on the handlebar, with the twist grip.

Similarly to how a motorbike would do in a crash test.

It's a restomod done right. Modern upgrades that don't look silly or out of place, like sticking a set of USD Ohlins on it and Brembo Monoblocs like some do.

It's fuckin' ugly, but this Supermoto thing, appears to have the engine out of a Bimota V-Due in it.

£10K is at least twice what it's worth, and if it's making the 130 who they claim, who ever buys it is going to see one of the con rods poking out of the crank cases.

I would imagine the cornering would be 'interesting' and the brakes 'underwhelming'.

There appears to be a crank minus pedals with the chain looping round it, just in front of the rear wheel.

The big fuel tank is a nice practical touch.
