Qianjiang Motor

The Qianjiang Group is doing the most effective job of defining who they are, with each year their approach to the market becomes clearer and better defined.


Zongshen claimed to be directing its resources into electric vehicles and they are, but it is Qianjiang that is moving to develop the market through its GOCCIA E-Life Style product line.

The fact is that Keeway become a recognizable brand in the whole world. I'd say it's because they appeared more than 12 years, and because the people of the European branches did a good job.

I like that they are naming the bike on the number of cylinders, UNO…and we should see that again eventually in the DUE eventually.


The Motard will be named a BX250 it has EFI, which leads me to believe that both versions of the 250 will be eventually offered in China.

I like the motard. They ought to sell a black version. It would look cool with the bronze colored forks.

Attachment 9242

I'll be getting it as soon as it comes out. Has everything I want from a city motard. Any guess on the price?

But seriously .. I go to British Commonwealth countries now and am crapola scared of riding bikes.. I keep ending up on the wrong side.. at least with a car you can keep your seat close to the middle..

Actually, it's not a fluke of nature. It's normal. Leaning into the curve, as it's done in the rest of the world, is the aberration. TIC.
cheers!

The price of it was not stated but was described to be "competitive".

Another new bike from QJ, this one they call the Blue Boalong QJ150-17A

This QJ150-17A looks like a composition of hostile parts. There's too much design thing going on: that muffler doesn't go with that tank. It looks like it was copied off of a BanJing scooter exhaust. The rear monoshock is visually overmphasized and looks over masculine against that thin rear wheel. I like inverted forks up front (even be it QJiang proprietary sh*tty-golden-brown colour), but how come the customers wind up with an archaic drum brake on the rear?
Lots of things just do not visually match.
IMHO.
