I've got one - the forks have a stamp on them MB 47/50 so that would suggest a limited run.

The one in the auction, however, doesn't have the Mercedes seat tower, the rear stays look as though they're painted, rather than carbon like mine, and the decals are wrong.

It could be that there were different editions.

The forks in his other items are all wrong too. I think this guy is a Merc fan (he previously had Merc bits up for sale) who has killed this poor Amp in an attempt to recreate what you have there mate.... which by the way, is amazing! (Let me know when you need the space at home!!)

I think this is a poor attempt and recreating the special edition Mercedes bike. The font on the decals is all wrong - Mercedes always use the same font. Combined with the other features that were pointed out earlier, I'd say this is definitely not a genuine one.
