Benelli Qianjiang BJ250GY-2 Dual-sport 250cc

I saw an add for this in my local bike shop. Was curious if anyone knew anything about it quality wise. The owner of the shop said there weren't many of them in Beijing. Price was 20,000+元 , which could mean anything below 29,999元.

Numbers from the spec sheet.

72x61.2mm
249cc
11.0:1118kW/9000rpm
21N. m /7000rpm
2230mmx860mmx1210mm
1450mm
900mm
140KG
6.1L
100/80-17
120/70-17
110km/h

But I couldn't find it on the Chinese language version of their webpage: http://www.benellimotor.com

I would be more interested in the Bx505 shown on the website.
That is an interesting 450cc. But i guess between shown on website and market availability is a huge gap.
If someone can tell me where in China I can buy it ....

Ditto I was thinking the same ???

44.5kW/8500（r/min）
50Nm/5750（r/min）

110 Kg should be intresting to ride,

Just posted the question on the web site about cost and were to buy ?

UPDATE.
Just made a call to Benelli head office and have just been told bike is not in the country and have no idea when it will be??
Like most things in China you can see loads of nice pictures but nothing is real.

All talk and no action

TIC

The 505 is around as show bike since 2007. The proto had a Vertemati engine. Just forget it, it's never going to be produced.

Everything in Ch!na is just for looking, scratch beneath the veneer, for nothing is as it seems. BeAware the smoke and mirrors.
Note the exclamation mark in the word Ch!na - it's there for a reason.
Note the addition of 'A' in the word be-A-ware - also there for very valid reasons.
Nuff said...

Opps, no... one more thing... Photosh0p is Ch!na's best friend.

There end today's lesson...

Maybe wie should Start to build a MCM Tour Enduro our self's.
400 - 500cc water cooled, good suspension, reliable, no gimmicks.
What would be an acceptable price range for it?

BTW: I name it MCM Entouro

I read that the BX was a collaboration with Vertemati, they developed only prototypes and those were presented in 2007. These are the three prototypes and also the twin street bike is also a prototype.
They should relegate those to future projects, or developing projects, opposed to listing them as if they are in production and available at retail, then they also did not list the BN302 which likely is their bestselling new model. Probably not their bestselling, but likely to outsell the BN600 line.
They are likely watching Shineray and advertising these is more about that, they may be developing these and likely will continue with entering the dirt bike market. In that it be best to develop a line of engines that would be competitive in the racing circuit. They can if they have the capital to invest in what it takes to get to that level. Historically Benelli went outside for that they went to Vertemati. I doubt that relationship continues today.

Sounds simple but it's almost impossible to get a custom made bike certified 'ccc',entered onto the Traffic PSB database and consequently the ability to plate the bike etc.

..... Doc .... I was dreaming big of a serial production with all certification, etc. :icon10:
