Gosh you have a wonderful grasp of how to deliver sarcasm. Do you know how to look at pictures to see what kind of forks/frame are on a bike? Or how about how to read through a thread full of links that have information about the bike?

Take a look at the picture below. It's not hard to see that this isn't a supersport.
  • Risers instead of clipons.
  • standard forks instead of inverted forks.
  • single front brake instead of dual disks.
  • skinny swingarm instead of beefy one.
  • not the same style frame they use the on the CBR600 and all other supersports
  • Comfy looking rearsets instead of high and back-swept ones
  • passenger handles.
Also, the blogs in the links talk about a doubled cbr250 engine, which makes a 500cc twin, not an inline-4.
