    Wonjan has new offering....called a Swordfish

    The above is a similar offering, but with a Honda type engine.

    The Wonjan models they refer to as their "big row" have a 150cc Suzuki engine.
    That being the Swordfish and Tomahawk, both have the 13hp 150 OHC engines.

    The top bike is being offered here through this B2B website…with the typical errors in specifications.




    Both are pretty much shameless copy, it is a Honda XRE300, less the high tech 300cc engine.

    Wonjan is also claiming to have an EFI version of the GN250 and are offering it in a VOLTY.
    Its odd…the Wonjan website almost seems like it has been hacked into? WJ is part of the Grand River Group and has a fairly professional website?



    Any who, the Wonjan Volty and its blurred image has a retail price advertised at 18800 CYN, I have also seen it advertised for 17800 CYN, that is a healthy price for such an old design.



    It is being advertised on this B2B website...as a Space Ranger?

    Its all come off as odd, I can only suggest that upper management rein in it subordinates and also address its channel marketing, it all really makes the Grand River Group look bad.


    If they want to develop the Wonjan brand name separately from the Suzuki and Haojue brands they can but they really should clean up the approach it all looks amateurish and sloppy.


    If they wish to utilize the B2B wholesale websites as partners they should consider separating products into categories, by classes and manage each separately that way. But they also have to ensure that when they use English that what they include actually makes sense to those that read it, it often comes off as frivolous and or silly. They really need content editors and people that really know something about the products.

    They also dance all over intellectual property rights, they are not only copying designs they are using what is trademarks and without regard to the consequences, those are real consequences in the real international markets.

    It is good that they did not choose to copy design of Italian motorcycles. Italians are extremely sensitive to the copying - it would be a lot of work for the court.

    Nevertheless, it would be nice if all these models in bike shops, to dispel backwater on the C-moto market.
    Ask me nothing - I DO NOT speak english. Really...
