    I live in Melbourne, Australia. I bought a Benelli TRK 502X new 18 months ago. I’ve done 117,000 km on this bike with little trouble. Yes, it’s heavy…but when you get caught in a crosswind, or buffeting caused by road trains you’re going to appreciate the stability of the bike. I do a yearly trip to far North Queensland, over 10,000km in 12 days, and the bike is awesome to ride. I get mine serviced every month at the dealership I bought it from and they just laugh when the check the km. It doesn’t have the “grin factor” that my Tiger Sport 660 has, but I can’t do 1000km + days on the Triumph either. Seat is really comfortable and butt only starts getting numb around 800km mark. Great bike for the money.

    Benelli and QJ are both owned by Geely Holding Group. Geely also owns Volvo. I own a Geely car that was designed and engineered by Volvo engineers. The quality is just fantastic. There are some companies that are aware that Chinese products have a bad rap for being low quality. So they are making huge strides in quality by hiring engineers from reputable companies to improve their products. CFMoto has partnered with Japanese companies to make sure their products are of higher quality.

    The CFMoto 300 NK is one of the few good quality bikes that get to Latin America for accessible prices. Most Japanese brands don't bother comercializing models with ABS, full LED lights, and good displays on the lower end, except in a few countries. Definitely what i'm aiming towards when i can afford it.

      @@jorgerivera6307 soy de Argentina. La marca esta aqui desde hace algunos años ya. Tiene buena reputacion entre los foros de mecanicos por su uso de buenos materiales, y muchos de sus repuestos son compartidos con motos KTM y con Honda, como los filtros de aire que son los mismos de la CB250 Twister. Lo unico que si me da cosita es que no tengo concesionarios cercanos para hacer valer la garantia, y que es dificil encontrar mecanicos que le entren a la parte electrónica de la moto, la cual tiene de sobra. Otros bloggers de paises como Chile, Colombia y demas hablan de experiencias similares. Algunos la tienen por muchos kilometros y el motor no se deprecia como usualmente se asocia con motos chinas. Otra marca muy bien tratada de entre las chinas es Voge, que viene de la mano de Loncin, aunque las Cfmoto son mas bonitas y mejor hechas en mi opinion.

It very nimbly weaves through Little Rock traffic, 7 miles one way, and is such a fun alternative to my 12mpg, but fun in a different way, Ram 1500. I am very soon getting the CLX700,or the 800NK next. The 700 is going as low as 4200 right now too.

    As a chinese here, here are my personal recommended models if you wanna try chinese brands:
    CF moto: 450 SR (sports), 800MT (ADV/Touring), NK450/CLX700 (Street)
    Beneli: TRK 502 (ADV/Touring), 752 (cruise)
    Kove: 450 RR (Sports), 800X (ADV/offroad)
    Not recommending QJ moto bikes as they are bad for quality in general. I would vote for Kove with extra credit as the brand is really investing heavily on innovation and manufacturing their own stuff, the new 450RR parts/engine is really fantastic

    I am really happy for this video. Not all Chinese bikes are equal. Especially if they are build for a European brand that is responsible for the quality check as well. BMW, KTM, etc. I own a Benelli TRK 502X and I love it. A bit on the heavy side but it is also very stable. Has a great road presence that makes it safe. Car drivers actually see you. Also the dealership in Cyprus is amazing. I totally recommend it. I am not a new rider. I am 52 and I have a background of a lot of sport bikes (NSR 250R, ZXR400SP, ZZR600...) so I believe that my opinion has some value.

That's because Haojue was licensed directly by Suzuki to manufacture many of their low-end motorcycle and have their expert QC senior engineers. Haojue, in turn, use a lot of Suzuki technology and design. And yes, you can even find Haojue Gixxer clone.

    I own a 2022 Venom KPR 200 made by Lifan and it’s a great motorcycle. Build quality is very good and reliability over the year that I’ve owned it has been outstanding. For a 200cc it does really well cruising around town or even hopping onto the interstate. Gas mileage has been great also, just an all around fun bike that I enjoy very much. I purchased it online from Venom motorsports and they have been great. Budget motorcycles may not be for everyone, Y noob included but for some of us they are a very viable option.

      I’m heavily leaning towards a Venom Sportster 200, it’s $2000 and need something to learn on that I won’t be scared to scrape up. Is it essentially the same motor/transmission as the KPM 200?

      @herbiesgarage681 11 місяців тому +1

      @@SCIFIguy64 No it's not the same engine as the KPM200, it actually has a 223cc engine. I'm not really familiar with the venom sportster but venom has been good about taking care of their customers, and the sportster would probably be a good bike to learn on.

This was probably not paid for buy OEMs but so honest in bringing up the conversation of global manufacturing. Everyone's favorite new bikes are made using these design and build techniques. Really cool exposure to some more legit Chinese brands.

      That's too wired, a sub brand, but actually a better quality one from a sub brand of Benelli, which is a sub brand of qj motors..
      But it's actually a better version of the Honda cb 500 in every shape or form!
      A wasted opportunity, because Keeway succeed where Benelli didn't, cheap naked bikes. MBP is a more expensive Keeway, it's basically without purpose or meaning. If i choose Keeway, it's because of it's untouchable asked price to value ratio, not because it's supposed to be better than x or y..
      Rkf 500 needs to be born, as a natural upgrade for those millions of squids, MBP is just another voge 500.

But I'm 88 miles in and I'm loving it. It has also started with the first push of a button every single time I have ridden it so far including the first time. There is this weird whine at super low speeds (below 30 mph) and for the life of me I can't get the front brakes not to half drag but it's a lot of fun. Quick too for what it is. Kawasaki z400 is next on my list, got this to see if I like riding.

      As an Italian I can confirm this. Benelli has become a "known" and commonly sold motorcycle. With now a lot dealers all over and they seem pretty reliable (not japan level...but good enough ) and good looking. I think in part the name/brand played an important part, in the sense that even if a Chinese producer did make good motorcycles, that wouldn't be enough without the italian name/brand behind it. If I were to say I have a Benelli in Italy it's like "ok", however if I were to say I have a "ching chung chang" (any chinese name) the reaction would be negative and "what is that?" regardless of how good the motorcyle actually is. So it has to do with both the quality, but believe it or not, even just the name/brand behind it.
