There are some news about the Nuke here. This is from a danish website. If anything is lost in translation, I will be glad to sort out some of it.

Forget about it. The journalist who wrote this got the information from me when I posted it on a danish MC forum. He does not have any info apart from what we already know.

This Ukranian Lifan importer claimed in nov. 09 that the model i up and running, but maybe just another rumour. Althrough this is the newest information I've seen on this bike yet.
Oh! Just what we need on China's chaotic roads: A Gixxer-inspired Chinese-made 4-cyl 16-valve 600cc crotch rocket, aka Darwinian selection tool. This would surely weed out the idiots on the road, but also cause a lot of collateral carnage along the way. Send this suicide machine to the Ukraine -- and keep it there!
Kidding aside, these images all date back to that 4th ChinaMoto show in April 2007, and I can find nothing new in the Chinese forums since then.
The girls in the pix would be three years older now...
Yes you are right, they have probably just seen this thread, and then wanted to create some interest about their brand. They don't know any more than us at this moment. So no large displacement sports-touring bikes for us yet.
Dear Niels, I wouldn't say ***no*** large-displacement sport-touring bikes. Yes, the JH600 is more of a dual sport, but she's rock solid on the road at 120kph fully loaded, so she's one option. And as bikerdoc has REPORTED in the recent H-D thread, Chunfeng aka CFMoto.com has confirmed that its long-rumored 650cc twin street bike, which ZMC888 suggests quotes heavily from the KAWI ER6, will be out before the end of 2010. Though it's no match for most of China's chaotic roads, that Chunfeng could be a valuable addition to the growing range of bigger-bore China-made bikes entering the global markets.
What's your impression of the rumored Chunfeng, which purportedly is the steed seen in THIS POSTING?
Wow that was new to me. Cool thanks for that link. Looks MUCH like the ER6-N to me, except around the footpeg.
I also found this on the CF moto homepage

I'd reported in this forum that H-D was moving up to 20 hogs a month from its feedlot out in suburban Shanghai, and a second source told me this weekend that they'd indeed sold about 100 bikes in 2010 to date. Harleys are so hot in Shanghai now that in some months they are absorbing the entire pool of available local license plates, which are allocated through a lottery because Shanghai authorities have taken a decision not only to cap the number of motorcycles on the road but to actually reduce the total. I grabbed a plate this month for my JH600 -- one of only 2 plates available when I applied.
If H-D now has stores in 8 cities -- damn! -- who wudda thought it would be Harley that captured popular imagination and shook up China's motorcycling market??? I'll have to get myself out there to have a look.
Yeah, HD Shanghai advised last week that they are completely out of stock of (883) Sportster's and Fatboy's for the rest of the year. In other words they have already sold their 2010 stock, and will only look to fill orders for those two models in 2011. Of course that's just Shanghai, when I spoked with the new Wenzhou dealership last week, they have both models in stock.
