    Thx.
    The company appears to be:
    ZHEJIANG APOLLO Sporting Products CO..LTD.
    They claim to make 100,000 bikes with only 400 staff, not bad for productivity, eh?, that's over 250 bikes per employee. Their "factory" is a wonderful artists impression. The Chinese do this a lot, they must think we dabizis ("big noses") are stupid or something:



    Their website is at: http://www.apollovehicle.com/

    The bike you see in the UK Superbyke site is this one (different paint job and decals):

    I agree with you though, these are cool-looking bikes. Too tall for me though, 940 mm seat height, I'd need a trampoline to get on that.

    The frame and swing arm seem to be made of alloy. This requires quite sophisticated production facilities on account of inert gas welding, die casting, etc. I don't know much about dirt bike engines, but it doesn't seem to be a mere copy of anything I recognise. I could be wrong though.
