    Jonway may be offering these in China? They seem to have the same water cooled 320cc as the Regal Raptures.

    I wonder if they manufacture that engine themselves.

    The Jonway really is a shameless copy of the BMW F650CS


    But they are obviously not the same motorcycles.

    Jonway is still advertising it 250 and 350cc motorcycles...I wonder if they are selling them?
    They are on their Chinese website and also on Alibaba.

    probably like many things in China, fake. The ability with photoshop is truly amazing, I'll give 'em that. No one has seen one. I have a mate that has called a number of companies about motorcycles made in China, offered via taobao and alibaba. He speaks perfect Mandarin, so I know for sure there's no chance of some misunderstanding. He has like I said spoken to several manufacturers to arrange viewing or various motorcycles, and has then travelled by car (his SUV) and travelled great distances to meet these manufacturers and on nearly every occasion he has found that a). the bikes claimed to be made and sold do not exist, or, b). are piles junk, poorly thought out, or just bad manufacturing (he's in metal fabrication and welding himself so he knows a thing or two), or just blatant copies. On the odd occasion, he has found that something advertised via the likes of these manufacturers might exist, but are unable to be sold inside the mainland as the company doesn't have the right legal certificates to do so.

    "everything in China is just for looking BeAware the smoke and mirrors for nothing is as it seems" my quote.
