These guys have done not a bad job on this thing.http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/gladius-supermoto/#more-1287 though i think a different paint scheme would suit better.

What's the point of a `supermoto' that weighs twice as much or more as your average 450 SM?

Dunno but it seems to have caught on,plenty of manufacturers making them.There doesnt seem to be a point needed really hell these days we have sports cruisers,trail bikes that weigh more than many road bikes.

Lipstick on a pig -- like putting a set of GSXR fairings on a GN250. You can give it as much of a stripped-down motard aesthetic as you want, but you can't change the fact that it won't be much lighter than the stock 220kg dry weight or whatever it is.

If it was Suzuki mass producing this for sale, then that would be one thing (and not wholly ridiculous, mass-market `everyman' low-cost lookalike for everyday riding, like the GSX650F), but this is a supposed high-performance custom bike maker, which is just weird.

EDIT: On the subject of Lipstick on a Pig, here's one for you. Bling for whoever can guess the underlying Pig!

That red thing with the misaligned fairing , was it a CB250RS ?:shifty: [well, it looks like the petrol tank was off one anyway]

2 stroke Honda?

Yes, bwahaha.

No, I have no idea about the pipes. Doesn't look like it'd rev too high with those!
