Must say this has an excellent utilitarian look and yes, the racks would be very handy ....... probably carrying the extra fuel cans you'll need :lol: (maybe the tank holds more than I think) ?

well zongshen engines are same honda factory.

Move the lights below rack and you got a interesting looking bike.

The tank prob same volume as a tear shaped standard one, longer. but it's part of the frame?

Pushrod? Dunno about price though :P

most, if not all the italian and jap factorys (and even hardly drivables from america)
own/use factorys/parts from china,
they would be stupid not to.
so we are gonna see more and more hybrids like we do with cars,
when the european importers stop wanting everything to the lowest price for
the biggest profit, the good ones will filter through more..

although, at 4500 euro, that ones hardly a bargain,
maybe at half the price?
greedy importers again methinks,
bet they are buyin em for a grand each, tops
