BJ600GS, only because I'm used to riding inline 4s and love the smoothness compared to twins. Will be interesting to see how well these bikes last over time.

I was starting to come to the conclusion that twins and triples are for street bikes, singles are for dirt bikes and fours are for compact cars. But if it shifts, no problem.

If it has to just be on the way it looks CF MOTO for sure....
But I agree it will be interesting to see how well they look and go in a few years time

Just read the russian review: http://www.zr.ru/content/articles/46..._cfmoto_650nk/ provided by our fellow bikers! So basically if understand well this russian guy, the overall is pretty good:
Pros:
Maniable
Flexible on normal road
Engine powerful
Passing gear ok when lower than 8Krpm
Good look but the fake carbon on the black version which looks cheap.

Cons:
Tires are bad, they don't warm-up: consequenly the bike doesn't stuck to the road: he reommend to change them.
Breaks are inconsistents: in some situation they work well, in some others the break pressure is not enough... (not sure if I understood well that part though)
Passing gear while ate 8Krpm is not swift.
The bike doesn't suit well to a bad road (with potholes for instance)

Conclusion: It's far from reaching its japanese cousin (Kawa er6-n) level of quality but could be comparable to a Taiwanese / Korean / Chzech bike.
