This model is not a copy of the Meggeli though as the form is different.
I am not sure which engines they will use for that bike, the details are not on the site.
There are a couple 250cc water cooled options, they likely will buy the Zongshen 4-valve, my guess.
I would like to see it with the DOHC engine that Yingang has, wonder which one cost less?
The prototype is air cooled and likely sporting a CB type, if they use that it really should be the balanced shaft versions. They are likely finding out that they do better with the 125cc offerings? Their simply is a bigger market for them so these would need a really good 125cc version for the UK.
I have to say the 200cc Suzuki is a very good engine, it also is different after mature then new seems smoother. I rode mine last night and it has good power. But it vibrates, I would like to test some of the CB engines with balance shafts the smoother the better.
Not sure if I would want a trellis frame, they look cool but all I see is an engine in a cage, hard to get at? Ever work on something and say….who the fuck designed this, they must have never thought about anyone working on it?
