    I suspect the final race bike will look abit different as everyone upgrades to race spec USD forks and possibly a swingarm swap for a Versys 650 aluminium twin spar one for better ridgidity I can't wait to see how well it will do.

    If this is actually their bike with their actual engine, and not some re-badged Kawasaki or something, right that's it, I'm saving up for a CF! I'll be keen to support a company that puts its money where its mouth is and actually goes racing with its own product.

    I suppose that Kawasaki winning the race last year with that same engine in the Light Weight category is just another coincident?

    Even if it probably is a rebadged something else the fact that WK whoever they are, are willing to spend money on marketing Chinese made middle sized 650cc shows something. Either they are insane or CFMoto are quite good, not sure yet.

    In the US, CFMoto have a good rep, so it seems like they are ready to put their bikes to the test.
