Benelli Qianjiang 小黄龙BJ250-15 Street Bike, ~16,800rmb

List price is 17,800 but saw a guy who said he'd gotten his for about 16,800 total, iirc. (not sure if that was with or without 京B plate.)
On their website, they're advertising it as a competitor to the Suzuki GW250, I'm not qualified to comment on that claim.

There are some videos of it out of Vietnam, quite a few actually of the 302 but I imagine this model will be popular their as well.

Anyone with experience with these two bikes want to give a comparison?

hi. if you get any spare time, would love to hear what you think about this bike. i think that it seems pretty similar to the duke200, which makes it a huge bargain at 18krmb. Are you riding it in the countryside, or more in a city setting?

any kind of review would be awesome. im almost sure this will be my next bike. im also im guangdong...but outside the major cities.

I propose u get one and give us your impressions and ride reports :-) :-)

im relatively poor, so its kind of a major purchase for me. but if i pick one up, i will document my impressions to no end. : D

The bike has some minor issues as all homemade Chinese bikes.
name a few:
* chain noise, but acceptable
* hard to start the engine at hot, need apply some throttle.
* RPM 3000-5000 engine runs not smooth. Highly possible of lean burn (emission cause, ecu programs runs lean)
* tyre is less than average (need upgrade)
* front brake is less than decent (absolutely need better one, mine installed 2 disks, as like bn301)

the good:
Value: they sell it for 15800 as promotion, just check their official taobao shop.
looks. and etc.

If you have some time and space, and not panic at some mechanic adjustment, go for it.
