C/M also manufactures their own versions of the Streetrunner (SB1 rev page 62), Desert Fox (Gm's Guide page 254) and Prowler Hovercycles (GM's Guide page 254). These are not actual Knock-offs but independently developed vehicles what happen to have basically identical performance and specs. Manufacturing cost is roughly 1/3 of market cost.
