    Oh, and to make this thread a bit more on topic in myCHINAmoto: I had not one but two expats come up to me on my JH600 today and say, "Nice Aprilia!" I'm not making this up! Two guys in totally different parts of Shanghai, one on a very fast scooter who was weaving like mad through traffic, the other the owner of a CJ750 who was getting service in our Jialing shop. This of course prompted me to have a look at the Aprilia site, and, lo!, it's true. Jialing really did flatter Aprilia in designing the JH.





    The Aprilia Pegaso is a 650 single 5-speed, delivering about 10 more horsepower than the JH600.

    Separated at birth?
