might be abit late to add a commment but any way the BMW 650 single engine was used in a sports bike manner, in the Bimota BB1 it was flawed yes but this was due to solid engine mounts but it still was a beautiful bike many owners fit F650 engine mods to get a few more oomph from the thumping single

another 650cc chinese motorbike which is being made available in the UK now id the CFmoto 650NK it will sell for £4199 inc VAT if the Loncin comes here and sells for that price it will have some competition as Honda are releasing a new CBR400 using a parrarllel twin to fit into next years new EU license restrictions

I don't think the Loncin was ever put in production, but sounds interesting with the CF Moto. I have already seen their models. Hope they will make it in Europe but the price is still high.

in the UK that price is very cheap for a 650cc bike a 50cc scooter you can expect to pay £2000 for a name brand, like yamaha, the price fo the CFmoto is cheaper than the Yamaha YZF R125 which retails at £4.999 and thats only 125cc for a comparative 650cc twin its around 6-7K a 600cc sports bike is around 8K at teh current market the CFmoto is put at a very good price
