Dear Blazeafar,
Wow, that's huge! I've long wondered why Jialing hadn't launched the JH600 outside of China, and it always worried me that it hadn't, as if it didn't have the confidence in the bike to go beyond the home market. I sure hope this means a higher level of internal and external support for the bike. Those of is in China are almost completely on our own with this bike, as there is essentially no dealer service network within China. For support we have to deal directly with the factory in Chongqing.
I'll not hold my breath about better support inside China, but at least if they are supporting a retail operation overseas, someone inside the mothership will have to be thinking more proactively about this strange creature called "the customer".
Keep us posted about how this rolls out, especially how they position and price it in the market.
best thanks, and cheers!
A little more info, the release will be in 2012
Here is a link to event where the news was released.

Huge would be an understatement.
Huge indeed. There's a press release on that site (in the News section) saying that China South ranks No. 275 on the global Fortune 500 list of the world's biggest companies.
Oh, and the company's name in Chinese (which I remember noting before) is 中国摒弃装备集团公司, which means China Ordnance Equipment Group Company. Yes, "ordnance" as in military weaponry and ammunition. :hellfire:
Interesting how they've sanitized the name in English!
I forgot Dayang which is actually the largest motorcycle manufacturer in china, you can see their products also in the TRAXX line.
Excerpt from a related article (source)
==========
It's said that most of Jialing's current products are medium and small displacement motorcycles. Jialing Group has made plans to develop and produce displacements between 250cc and 1800cc motorcycle products in a bid to enter the large displacement motorcycle world.
What's interesting is that a 600cc large displacement two-wheeled motorcycle which was launched on the market earlier provides a terrific market prospect, and its domestic sales price was increased from RMB 29,800 to RMB 31,800. It's even a competitive rival of BMW 650cc on overseas markets including Nigeria and Sudan due to its popularity.
"We will successively launch the 300cc and 800cc Street Racing bikes on the market in this year and next year." Mr. Duan Xiao said that they had planned many large displacements production lines for Jialing's new plant Bishan. Jialing's large displacement vehicle business will not only involve motorcycles, but also light power special vehicles including snowmobiles and ATVs relying on its large displacement engine platform.
If things progress smoothly as planned, the sales revenue of Jialing's large displacement vehicles will account for half of its total sales revenue in the next three years.
According to Mr. Duan Xiao, Jialing will mostly make motorcycles, light power vehicles, special equipments, optical and op-tronics products after its relocation. The COEGC (China Ordnance Equipment Group Corporation) gives Jialing the following strategic orientation: making profits as its goal, and making high and medium end products as its major task. "That is to say COEGC wants Jialing to be the Harley-Davidson of China," said Mr. Duan Xiao.

I had heard that the JH600 is in Nigeria, didn't know about Sudan, but IMHO Brazil is a biggie.
Received this question from a fellow JH600 rider: Are my eyes deceiving me on those Brazil photos? Did that new-blue Brazilian JH600 have the first generation wheels on it?
Not sure, but I do know is that they are definitely bigger than the China ones - this I can tell.
