Who is this motorcycle?

[xacarrere]

In Spain, 125 Chinese motorcycles are worth approximately EUR 2000
The standard of living in Spain is different from yours

A motorcycle of 400 euros by 3600 is cheap.
Suzuki intruder 125 motorcycle worth 3700 euros in Spain
Honda Shadow 125 motorcycle worth 4000 euros in Spain

Yes and in Denmark this bike would be even more expensive, due to our taxation rules. The spanish prize woud be impossible in Denmark. We would be lucky if is prized 4,600 Eur.

Now I understand how Copenhagen intends to become carbon neutral ;-)

This engine looks suspicious similar to the engines Loncin made to the BMW's single cylinder bikes. Any chance?
Look what I found online:

I really liked this one, old school dirt bike

It looks like a Knock off of the F-series bike.

This is the 650 and the single cylinder, which is supposed to be made in China.

This is the 650 and the single cylinder, which is supposed to be made in China.

That's the new 2 Cylinder F650 model, which is actually a detuned version of the same 800cc 2 cylinder motor that is in the F800 GS. The single cylinder motor made by Loncin for BMW is installed in the 2009 and newer models of the G650 GS. The G650 GS is exactly the same motorcycle as the 2008 and older F650 GS except that it has a new name and the motor is made in China. Clear as mud? BMW decided to name all single cylinder bikes as "G" series and all vertical 2 cylinder bikes as "F" series.

The bike is definitely a BMW knock off, much like the Shenke/Jonway/Sunl Kung FU 250.



I actually like this bike being manufactured by a company called Yingang:

It's still a knock off but it looks more tastefully done IMO.

I do not believe the F and G designation holds true Dan, they step in and out of that, I spent some time on the BMW site they have engine option(s) that are on both G and F Models that are (1 or 2cyl). You come across it only in the compare model GUI.

It doesn't surprise me that BMW's own web sites might have inconsistencies. Making the "F" and "G" model changes alone was very confusing. I looked at their web site, and you are correct about the comparison page. Take a closer look though:
