Who cares? The most important thing for Lifan is to begin mass production of motorcycles that were displayed at the motor show. I waiting this new step forward of the Chinese motorcycle industry.

The pics ROCK! Thanks ChinaV!

The girl on the Harley is the perfect accessory! If only my bike came with one...

Hi ChinaV, thanks for showing us all that!

My opinion:

Why mostly sport/streetbikes?

Will the Expressways be open for these toys?

Does the industry believes the Jialing 600 covered the Dual Sport Niche fully in the 600cc?

To sell these bikes the whole shoppingexpierence must change. They need qualified dealers with locations and clean up the shops.
Events & marketing for a much wider audience.
If they dont succeed in China its export only --> strong competition with low prices --> no money left for product development.

Personally I doubt it, until I see it in a shop with CCC stickers

Was wondering when ol' CV was gonna pull out the stop on the model pics!

Looks like there's some serious design and motor choices coming into play. Tis' the genesis of the cmoto industry unfolding before our very own eyez! I'm guessing about 5 years till we start to see enough models in production dealers will be willing to but next to japanese bikes on the showroom floor... as long as the costs stay low!

Anywho, great pics as usual from the CV man. So much great content and good folks on MCM...this joint really needs a publication!

Hi, thanks for these great report and pics !
As far as we can see here, the Lifan 600 is a design study on a Yamaha YZF600 Thundercat basis :
same chassis, fork, brakes and of course same inline four. Looking at the crankcase, there's no doubt about it.

Not a bad idea anyway cause they may be able to get a licence on this mid-90's technology.
