Strange, it works for me just fine.
Here is a link to the primary web site.

Basically, someone took an old GSXR1100 removed everything leaving the frame and engine, then added light weight dirt bike swingarm, forks, wheels, tank, and a seat. Plus they bored out the engine to be 1200cc. Now a 1200cc dirt bike sound fairly crazy to me.

Italian company RM Racing got their hands on a Suzuki GSX-R 1100 and modified it into a veritable dirt bike just to show off their talent in taking the ordinary and transforming it into something totally out of the ordinary.
At a first glance, the bike looks like an old thumper, but as you get a closer look at it it’s easy to realize that someone spent a great deal of time undergoing a serious, but partial transformation from superbike to dirt bike.
The engine displacement was increased to 1,200cc, modification that required a new set of pistons and a new engine head. The original swingarm was replaced with an aluminum unit taken straight off a 1993 GSX-R 750 model and an Ohlins shock was added as well. The bike features cool new KTM parts such as an inverted front fork, brake system and wheels, but it’s impossible not to spot the immense four-cylinder engine that was built for speed. This now evacuates burned gasses through a four-into-one exhaust with no silencer.

Yup use mostly the back brake to keep the front wheel in contact with planet earth after that it is time for prayer.
Insane unless competing in the Baja 100 or the Barstow type race , bit heavy for the likes of the Blackwater100
