CF Moto getting 2 x 650cc motorcycles, 2 cylinder parallel engine, 8 valves.
naked version:
and same bike with touring body:
I wonder how much they will cost!
They certainly look good, though the impression I have of the touring bike it's that it's a bike made not for tall people, 5'5"-6'0"
I think the 650cc is a big step up from the chinese's 250cc engines; and personally see no reason to make these bikes so high in cc's. but rather equip them with 300-400cc engines would be more than enough.
But the good is that the chinese are finally stepping away from the thumper models, and V-twins (mainly lifan makes them), and getting a parallel twin. Those engines are usually better for racing, as they perform better in the higher revs..
Small, efficient, cheap to manufacture, parallel twin is the future of chinese engines. If they only made a parallel engine with 2x25cc, it would beat a 2 stroke 50cc engine hands down!
