Not really liking the BMW copies since they are ugly bikes to begin with but can't blame them for the other copies.

They remind me of kit cars, but are probably far more unreliable.

No Gusto Rumba on the list? That was an awful bike copied from the BMW 650GS.

funny!

funny!

Yes it is actually.

The 3rd bike on the list; they write that the frame looks like it's build with Ikea furniture bits leftovers

They still have a long way to go before any serious bike enthusiast will buy them, it will certainly not be their main bike.

Interesting that none of the bikes have more than 300cc.

And they left out Keeway making Benelli copy bikes....

i am surprised the fact that they made a dohc water cooled engine though. wonder where they copied it!

a big step in chinese motorbike manufacturing sector!

The R6 with 150cc air cooled single is entertaining - but I think the Haray 300 is the same as the Ryuka RX3 - and although it's clearly 'inspired' by the GS 800 and the Triumph Tiger 800 - it's a decent lightweight adventure bike and is a unique concept.

I wish Honda would make a 300cc adventure bike based on the CB300 - especially if it came with a screen and luggage as standard.

And I can never understand why Chinese bikes always seem to be sold under 3 or 4 different brands for the same bike?

they have a such bike elsewhere and not here unfortunately. cb500x should be better though.

Isn't #3, the Jonway yy250 the same as the Gusto Rumba?

Saw one once in Kanchanaburi. Owned by a Yank who thought it 'looked just like a Harley'!!!!!!

yep, that is gusto rumba - what a name! - too.

you know chinese bikes are generic and you can put any brand on them. same as keeway/benelli duo.

That white & red Yayama looks really nice.

[Shurup]

I'd buy that fake Ducati to play with, if it is priced in line with other Chinese bikes.

is the World war 2 design BMW with sidecar still built ?

or all the Honda 50 Dax / Monkey bikes/ Trail 50s copies ?

I just wonder how many miles you can actually put on these things ?

The small 49cc bikes , quads etc we get here are pretty bad,,,,
