Oengus, that is a pretty cool bike and think it could do well in more than a couple markets. Nice clean classic cafe racer stylings.
Maybe we can get some more info from the el Presidente Colosimo on these rides. It sure would be nice! :mwink:

Speaking of classic "plain vanilla" styling, simply is incomprehensible, why only the rare Chinese brands are going this way.
BTW, here's another "plain vanilla" - Minsk 500. Again, it is a Chinese engine - this time, the "Asiawing's" 500 cc thumper. It is a pity that there is no interest by the Chinese manufacturer to offer something like this.

Minsk M500 opens new horizons
Reviews of novelties
Specialists of the Belarusian company Motovelo together with a team of design bureau Yuri Shifa some time ago demonstrated a prototype 500-cubic motorcycle with the elements of a cafe-racer style Honda GB500 Clubman, Triumph Thruxton, and Norton Commando, under the code name M500. Motorcycle M500 (or M4 500), which is the development of the existing model Minsk M4 200, should be put on sale as early as next year.
Statements from the CEO Minsk motorcycle, Andrew Maleychika, it follows that the novelty is already being produced in small amounts and is certified for the full launch of sales in the next year.

It seems that the on-line translator did the job, but there are couple words that aren't translated:
spitsovannyh - spoked
kliponami - clip-on handles
Kitka - the translator made a mistake, the original text says "kitaiskii" which means "Chinese".
