    Saw a new bike at the dealer with 500cc parallel twin (HP?). The first impression was quite good.
    Weldings looking professional, plastic parts fit well together. Comes with two USB ports + a 12V ports. Windscreen can be easy adjusted over a range of about 12 to 15cm. Seat height 780mm with slim seat front for shorter legs. It has a solid cooler guard.
    Sound is a bit Cola can style, but with different muffler....
    Two points that I didn't like are sensor and cable for rear brake light are placed in downward position (risk for rip off) and the engine guard is IMO too thin AL sheet metal.
    The bike is slimmer than the TRK502.
    Weight info missing but when I sit on I feel acceptable.
    ABS version is 32800RMB,
    ABS version incl. full set of AL paniers and complete surrounding crash bars (GS ADV) is 38800RMB.
    Its plateable in BJ (have seen there two with B plate)
    Photos coming .....

    Hm... So this is the engine allegedly inspired by "Honda's" twin?

    So, any info who in fact makes those engines?
    Ask me nothing - I DO NOT speak english. Really...

    Low HP I think 40?.
    Seen the bike as well Not too impressed with the bike.
    Think the TRK 502 or the CFmoto MT a better option IMO
    Just rode the X001 ShuBen over in your area ?
