Is This BMW Sportbike Copy What Happens When You Let AI Design Bikes?

If you've been interested in motorcycles for at least a little while, then chances are excellent that you've seen at least one pretty clear copy bike before. No, I'm not talking about when an OEM that races in MotoGP or WSBK rolls out a small-displacement tribute livery bike or scooter.

I'm talking about companies that seem to exist for no reason other than to throw existing motorcycle designs from modern OEMs in a blender, extrude them into colorful plastic fairings, and then sell low-displacement near-lookalikes for incredibly low prices.

It's one thing when it's a bike meant for children, for example. But it's completely another when it's as blatant as this Jiangsu Daelg Sukuli S 1000 RR copy. I mean, look at this thing. It has the Roundel and everything.
