#1 Someone, anyone please review the Qjiang /Benelli BJ600GS03-10-2013, 01:09 AM
So now I'm busy saving for a new bike. Hoping to have the money together for the spring 2014 season. The three bikes that stir my interest are the Haojue/Suzuki GW250, CFMoto NK650 and the Qjiang /Benelli BJ600GS. Whist I know pretty well that the CF and Suzuki will be fairly reliable, however the Benelli has not really been reviewed, I'm hoping someone could do some review. Thanks.

Curious to know what the primary use for this new bike will be? Obviously we all have many uses (unless you have a track-only bike), so feel free to give a percentage breakdown of your needs (x% banging in the twisties, x% commuting, x% touring, etc.)
Have you had the chance to test ride any of the bikes mentioned?
I'm sure you've seen this thread, right? Benelli Review
I was out in Moganshan this week and rode the Benelli for a bit. It's a fun little bike. Quite responsive, gets you thru the corners quite quickly. Also thru the gears rather fast, but it seemed to be working quite hard after 100kph. For my riding purposes it's not the bike for me as I wouldn't want to be riding it on the roads here in China for any long distances/duration.
Guessing for Shandong and Beijing it would be more fun as a weekend toy to take into the mountains, but in Shanghai it's 2 to 3 hours to get into Zhejiang where you can really have fun with it (and this is not the bike I want to be riding in Shanghai or on the G318 for hours to get in/out of town).
If you haven't been on a JH600 yet and will be in Shanghai sometime soon, you're welcome to take my JH600 out for a test ride. It's got plenty of torque and really is a great bike, scoring points across all riding conditions and roads. The JH600 is hands down the best "Moto GP bike" in China (um for GP I meant General Purpose )._____________________

The Rumors thread has very little other than rumors and baseless opinions.
The bike will be used for:
Mountain twisties 40%
Getting to the mountains 40%
Embarrassing car drivers and a track day or two if possible 20%
Not interested in the JH600, looking for a multi-cylinder street specific bike. Very young children means touring is not an option. I've never ridden the bike, but I have a fair idea of what it would be like to ride having ridden bikes similar. I'm really hoping that an owner might be able to give constant feed-back as Steve Halt is doing with his CFMoto. Any problems after how many kms, etc?

Plenty of reviews on Chinese forums and they seem to all boil down to:
1) Love it, great bike, everyone should buy one
OR
2) Hate it, too many problems, wanna buy it?
There was also a cover article in Motorcycling magazing (China) a few months ago. Sorry, forget which month.
People seem to attribute the "love it" or "hate it" disparity to luck of the draw. Some suggest that the factory's Quality Consistency Standards are not yet up to snuff, so you might get a good Wednesday bike, or you might get a shitty Friday bike. But, it also seems that some of the dealers are making required repairs.
