Hello, good day, I hope you are well, a question from you who have already tried the 2 motorcycles that interest me, in terms of safety, durability and reliability, which do you think is better, 450 srs or 450 srk? you would help me too much.
Thanks for the review. You should check out the QJ srk 550 if you get the chance. Similar price (a bit more) but no traction control or power modes, but it's a 550 so I don't think that's really necessary unless you're not careful. I own the QJ 550 and the power seems decent to me, but I haven't ridden so many bikes to compare it to. The 550 also has a 270 crank so I think it sounds pretty good (at least with an after market exhaust). I think you will also find the gearing longer than the 450.
The place where I rent the majority of my bikes has already ordered one!!! I can’t wait to try it out, I heard it goes from 0-100 in less than 4 sec, want to see how fast it will go with me riding!!! Can you tell me what you like/hate about it so far?
@@eddywave3315 Sure, the previous rider was way lighter than me and had all the suspension setting dialed down as soft as possible. I've changed that and it handles a lot better now. It responds well to being ridden hard, but chugs a bit at slow speed. I was just watching your NK800 review and you described something that sounded very similar. With the suspension adjusted more to my weight the brakes also seem very good. The gearbox also requires a firm touch compared to the Suzuki gsxr 250 I have and the honda cx500 I had back in Canada. The Suzuki 250 is a very forgiving bike and the throttle is smooth at all speeds (maybe due to it's really low gearing). The QJ 550 is not happy if you're in too high a gear and don't give it enough throttle. If you ride and shift the QJ 550 hard (or at least like you are riding with some purpose) it responds well. Riding it in a relaxed and timid manor does not seem to agree well with the motorcycle. Maybe some characteristics from the engine being designed with MV Agusta as I've hear this is common for Italian bikes but I've never had a chance to compare. Maybe it's also something to do with fuelling and emissions and I wonder if an engine flash would improve the throttle response at lower rpm (maybe the shop you rent from has an idea about that?). The fit and finish seems very good for the money and I got mine used with very few Km and an aftermarket exhaust and crash bars for 20,000 rmb (and the price has come down on the new models) so it seems like excellent value for what you are getting. I would say it is a very good package for the money.
Compared to my two previous bikes which were by no means powerful it is a lot more fun and engaging to ride expect in stop and go traffic where the very forgiving and lower gearing of those bikes made slow speed a breeze. When you're moving along the QJ 550 is a lot of fun. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
I think it might be a step up in power and fun compared to this QJ 450, but a little more input required from the rider and less smooth at slower speeds. The riding position is also very comfortable for a sport bike. Similar to the Suzuki GSXR 250 and probably similar to the QJ 450 in this test. It looks sporty, but it's more sport touring on the comfort side. You won't get tired sitting on the QJ 550, but if you want full on sport bike ergonomics it is not that.
@@evanmcknight2566 Wow! That’s already a review there) thank you! I’ve heard a lot of good things about this bike so far, so my expectations are quite high at this point! I think it sounds be pretty fast and maneuverable, the good thing about these SRK bikes is that they’re easy to launch, I can’t wait to see wether it will be faster than NK800 in my case! 270 crankshaft is a very pleasant addition to 550!
After sitting on the new QJ 550 sport bike this 450 makes more sense to me. While the older 550 was very relaxed in it's riding position the newer 550 sport bike seems more aggressive (but not too bad, just more than the older version that I own). The 450 is lighter, gives you traction control and riding modes and I think the engine and gearing might make it a very manageable bike to ride everyday if you are in traffic or poor weather or oily or slick surfaces. I think the 450 might make a better bike for a brand new rider. The 550 could certainly be done, but would require more care and the 450 might be a nicer way to get started. I also wonder if the 180 crank might be smoother and more balanced than a 270 crank at lower rpm doing slow speed maneuvers and clutch work (but I'm not a mechanical engineer so I'm not sure if this view will hold water). QJ's lineup is not the easiest to figure out and have a bike every 50-100cc does not make it easier, but for sporty riding I would go for the 550 and for the everyday commute and just having an easy bike to ride day in and day out the 450 might be the way to go, but I have not had a chance to test the 450, just the 550.
QJ also has a 400 sport that didn't make sense why they kept both, but it seems very basic and I'm guessing based on older tech, but it's inexpensive (just a bit more (2000rmb) than a Suzuki/Haojue 250 and about 4500 less than a CF moto 450) so maybe they are just waiting to phase it out or they keep it around for it's price point.
Thank you! I think 270 degree crankshaft should provide more linier torque delivery, but on very low rpm might be a bit snappier than 180 (based on my experience) but I would take 270 over 180 every day of the week! I don’t understand why QJ has that many tiny increments in displacement, it looks massy, and still the most ubiquitous middle cc sports bike is CFmoto 450sr 🤷♀️. So based on CFmoto’s experience it’s better to build one nice bike, than to spend your money and afford on the quantity! I like to see many bikes, but 350,400,450 is way too much! After riding 921 I understood that these “committed” bikes aren’t for the vast majority, and I don’t see many people riding those on a track in China, so it’s a good looking, and indeed very fast toy, but it serves no purpose but showing off at expense of your comfort (it’s like a good looking spouse who makes your friends jealous, but who beats you at home bad, making you hate your life 😂) so I think QJ making a mistake, building those bikes more track oriented. Still want to see how 550 feels like
@@eddywave3315 I would think the the 180 would be more linear with a more regular power pulse and the 270 a bit more lumpy with your shot of power more spread out, but in terms of sound the 270 wins every time.
After reading your comment about the good looking wife who abuses you at home I thought of Miss Piggy karate chopping Kermit the frog when he made a mistake. The 921 is a bit on the heavy side so maybe that visual fits if the person riding it is smaller and thin. I agree QJ could really refine their lineup a bit to make more sense. I think they will eventually do this, but it seems to be taking a while. I think they could drop the 400 (that has very similar engine specs to the Honda 400 engine) and maybe keep the 450 and 550 as I think they are fairly different motorcycles for a different kind of rider. Good luck getting to test a 550. I’d like to hear what you think of it good and bad. I’m actually really curious to try the 450 now to compare the two bikes.
@@eddywave3315 i do hope to see the big 4 (other than kawasaki) release their inline 4 versions of the 250 and 400cc since those categories are booming as of now. Also, sad to see the 600 class going extinct.
Actually my friend who gave me the bike said that ninja’s engine was a blueprint for this one! It does sound the same! But it couldn’t be more different feeling wise, it’s way more street oriented, ninja has longer gears so it’s better for a track! I will check more on the engine and come back to you 🤜🤛
@@eddywave3315 cool to know about that. Cfmoto has dropped their 650 and 689 cc bikes for the most part which seem to be copies of the older Kawasaki engine. The CFmoto 700 looks like it is the same 689 cc engine so it would make sense if they also got the 450 in the business deal.
@@eddywave3315 An important aspect of any vehicle is aftermarket servicing. If it's impossible to find replacement parts in the case of an accident for insurance, it wouldn't be a smart purchase.
