might be abit late to add a commment but any way the BMW 650 single engine was used in a sports bike manner, in the Bimota BB1 it was flawed yes but this was due to solid engine mounts but it still was a beautiful bike many owners fit F650 engine mods to get a few more oomph from the thumping single

another 650cc chinese motorbike which is being made available in the UK now id the CFmoto 650NK it will sell for £4199 inc VAT if the Loncin comes here and sells for that price it will have some competition as Honda are releasing a new CBR400 using a parrarllel twin to fit into next years new EU license restrictions
