    Some clever builders have taken a Chinese three cylinder ATV motor and put it into a nice street frame. Well done, I like it.

    That looks fantastic. It develops over 35 bhp and being basically an ATV engine has its maximum torque quite low (5000 rpm).

    Properly produced and marketed it could spearhead a revolution in Chinese bikes. Both its looks and potential performance would be more than aceptable in most markets.

    The initial response seems quite positive. If any Manufs are wondering if they should make a "middleweight"...they should read the comments after this article from the Kneeslider.

    I wonder if this bike will be sold in the good ol' US through Vento? They sure need something to pick their image up

    Would be great to have an affordable 3cylinder bike on the market. The engine case looks a little heavy though. There must be some drawbacks to putting an atv engine on a bike. Is the gearing the same?

    Wow! This is kind of what I have been wanting. If this could be marketed right, and be available in to register in China...cool. Perhaps a liquid cooled twin or injected single might be lighter, but I'd be happy with a triple, as long as it's not too heavy!

    Relatively fresh design and spoked wheels?

    With a little redesigning, the motorcycle could become more interesting than now, something like Hyosung based Italjet Griffone few years ago.

    Definitely different than most Chinese bikes and a nice inexpensive cafe racer. Would look slick with a color matched belly pan!
