Qjiang QJ600GS / Benelli BJ600GS - rumors thread

[998S]

I will go with 2 friends to have a look the coming Saturday.
They are both ppl. with other bikes, got the money, and both were stunned by what they saw on the pictures I sent them.

I myself am in for one, just set the condition that I got to sell one of my trackbikes first.
So who knows, we might end-up with an order for 3

Will be my 2nd look at the bike, will keep you posted on the progress.

Hope you get to see one that hasn't already been trashed!

The chinabike industry and it's appalling track record for quality and support is to blame here. If this was a japanese bike i'd dive right in!

Even the reputation of the Italian motorcycle industry for making temperamental beauties even doesn't match that well with me, I prefer Japanese Honda build quality, for grubby daily road grind, rather than living with a princess of a bike more suited to a track, do love tracks though.

Hope you get to see one that hasn't already been trashed!

I agree, there are generally two types of Chinese riders: no protection stunt rider show-offs who gun the engine from cold, and hyper scared 'smoke and chat' and go for lunch 1-2000kms a year bike polishers.

Also with Chinese buyers I worry that they won't be that objective. Only one guy dismissing the bike for a niggle can upset the whole pack.

Don't worry on me la, I give everyone on this forum a positive feedback, as long as Benelli gives me a decent discount

Good luck to you and your friends 9985!

Sorry, 998S... I wasn't wearing my monocle earlier.

If they take JH600 trade-ins, I'll be there with you on Saturday!

G'Day,

Sounds like another MCM day out.....

Bring your full protection and gear otherwise they won't let you take the demo bike out for spin, they had a demo bike over at the Pubei Road shop around two weeks ago, not sure the bike was / is the same bike as during our little MCM CNY meeting.

Wouldn't Benelli/Qjiang be best off doing a bunch of promotional track day test rides? Stick them on a back of a truck and go around China. I for one would love to do a few laps on one, they wouldn't even need to register them or worry about the riders disappearing on them or about crazy traffic!

Two's up on that idea I'd love to do the same thing but I can imagine the majority of the locals getting excited about having an open track to themselves, overdoing it and getting into a real mess. At least in the chaos of city traffic they would feel the comfort of the constant danger restricting them.

Wow would be great to have some nice objective reviews of the bike! Go ahead and get it guys, i'm sure it's fine!

I'm often disappointed by chinese reviews/reports of chinese bikes. There's the 2nd generation rich kids who will step off their ducati hypermotard say 'chinese piece of shit' before even looking at it, and then there's the china-is-mighty crowd that will hail it as a triumph of creative genius and technical innovation regardless what it is.

Please, someone tell us what's what!
