I have been searching the web for this answer but can't find it.

I know there are many many Manx clones. There are also numerous Kyote2 clones here in Canada where I live.

Were there companies making clones of the Empi Imp? I have found what looks like an Imp but don't see a serial plate.

Can anyone help. I would really like to buy it but want to make sure it is legit.

Thanks in advance!

Hey. Thanks for that link. I really wish they had a photo of the front end. I assume there would not be the unique Empi Imp badge "bump" in the fiberglass but you never know.

Thanks again. That was helpful.
