The currant Taobao price is.....


29.800mm RMB no travelling boxes.

38.100 RMB with 3 Tourfella and mounting frames.
8.300 RMB sounds a lot for the travelling boxes.

The price may include the crash bars.?

I suppose 8300 not only for Tourfella boxes, also for spoke wheels... looks like they have kind of ADV package (maybe front is 19").

here is a good article about 650MT/MG500/TRK502
http://newcar.xcar.com.cn/201702/news_1965557_1.html

it's in Chinese, so use Google Translator - worked for me.

650MT is winner for this years, I guess

Hi Steel

Thanks for the link to the review on the 3 bikes.
Interesting to read a Chinese reporter review on these bikes.
But it's more like a spec review than a true sit and ride review IMO.
From the review, the report says the spoke wheels on the MG500 are 17"
But the 1 commit I did like was .....

Summary:

Today, we compare three cars, last year, can be said to be very representative of the three domestic break travel, adventure models, their clusters, mainly because consumers becoming more and more rational and receptivity for new cars is also increasing, which also reflects the consumer is the first driving force for production. In this most popular of the three in the car, 650MT does bring surprises, TRK502 Italian gimmick still continued to play the spoiler of ADV market MG500 with technology configuration and appearance attract early glimpse into the motorcycle market newcomers. Considered, over a period of time in the future, 650MT and TRK502 will be the sales force in this market, MG500 can leave people who dare to taste.

IMO opinion the clear winner was the MT


P.S. Just watched the 3 videos, and remind me not to let this guy test a bike off mine heheheh.
IMO the MT sounded the best with the TRK502 next and the MG500 looks like "A Smoker Joe" LOL

so we're still waiting for sit&ride review of 650MT from one happy owner, right Prince? :)

[prince666]

hehehhehe

Yes, that is correct.

Firstly been working on the set-up of the bike and I will post the finished picture later, but not here on this thread.
Also, only clocked up 2500km, so IMO still early days.

I will leave Shandong on a trip in about 10 days time, to which I can report back with a better insight into the MT.
But I can say NOW, I am impressed with the bike.

Completed a few section of dirt road with some big pot holes and the limiting factor so far has been the road tyres, easy fix.
IMO the MT is better suited for China then the TR-G.

So Mr Steel not long before I will report back with a more detailed review.

It seems TRK have some "interesting" metal tube design in rear swing arm

Friend of mine has a TRK ABS and seems to be quite happy with the bike after adjusting the suspension.
The bike hold a very good curving line and is low end torquey. On the expressway he makes a good travel speed of 140kmph with 2 people.
The range is +/- 500km per tank filling. Even with passenger he can keep up with my GS (maybe i am a poor rider ....)
The only thing i see coming is, that he will need soon a new side stand or has to modify it.
Its grind off nearly half stand surface.

I was very tempted to buy the TRK502, but in the end, the deal I had with CFmoto pushed me into the MT.
Like the 500 KM tank range with the TRK, can say with combined riding you will be lucky to get 350km from the MT.
