Stradale that Gas Gas is just a rebranded Shineray XY400 Enduro which has a copy of the Honda CB400SS engine

Stradale that is a Shineray , article points out that the bike does not currently meet EU4 standards.

Hi Guys
With my present ride coming to near its end I been thinking about what is next?
I am very interested in the new RX4 450cc ADV bike from Zongshen

Just got off WeChat talking to 1 of the English speaking sales guys and he informed me he doesn't expect the bike to be released until the end of this year (2017).
Which is a bummer for me because I was hoping to buy one and put it out on a test ride.
After some conversation, he then informed me that the company hopes to have preproduction "TEST" ride (10.000 km) in June this year and would I like to join them ????
Took me about a sec to say yes? so lets us see how it pans out, hope to visit the factory in April on my way back to Shandong from Kunming.
Here are a few latest pictures on the new RX4.

When I look at this graph i think they messed up torque and power. The peak for torque is normally in power RPM while power still rise to higer RPM.
Isnt it?

I think you are spot on the dotted line is the KW.?

I think the dotted line should be KW, but the legend shows Nm... And Nm is torque.
According to my knowledge power follows torque and still rise when figures falling already.
I also wonder that this engine has the power peak at 9k rpm. That is very typical for multi cylinder parallel engine, but for a single???
