I think that one has to temper our collective wants, desires and needs with what the average wealthy Chinese motorcyclist wants to put the hard earned (cough, cough) kuai into. There are already the high end dual purpose motorcycles (R1200GS's/F800GS's & F650GS (800cc) and the lower spec single cyclinder G650GS), so it would seem that other motorcycle manufacturers want to look at different segments of a segmented and fragmented market.
There are not a lot of options when it comes to the higher end or spec segment, and since there is plenty of affluent willing to throw kuai around, then the major motorcycle players will opt for that end of the market, plus they also need to spend a considerable sum and investment into getting the respective models approved, certified and CCC'd. Hence it makes sense from that perspective. The other point not to be lost, is the top end of the manufacturers models, being that much more costly, will allow a little more market presence and penetration before some one attempts to copy one or more of the moto's offered. Us lot in PRC collectively represent just a fraction of the segment, and many of us complain about the prices of imported models as it is, consequently we are not the audience these manufacturers are aiming these models at.

Yes, also agree that all these go-fast models and even the 200km/h+ CFMoto CF650N will likely cause a few unwelcome ripples as and when the said rides inflict injury and loss of life. Actually I worry more for the riders of the CF650N than the purchasers of these hyper sport rides from Honda and Suzuki, as they attract a different calibre of rider and in smaller numbers than the CF650N has, which has seen all 3 production runs sold out, well before the models hit the dealers floors.
