about the only likeness is the colour red, and that they are "dual sport" motorcycles. :?

Yeah I see the similiarities now!

both have round wheels and tyres
Both are red
Both have upside down silver forks
Both have swept back bars!

Where as there are only a couple of differences!

Different engines
Different frames
Different seats
Different tails
Different swingarms
Different headlights
Different shaped tank and fairing
