Looks like it owes alot to the Kawasaki ER600.

Wonder what the build quality will be like?.

A rival for the Hyosung Comet 650...?
It's certainly cheap, but will it last?
Hyosungs don't seem to.

Yep basically a copy of the Kawasaki, though I suppose they would have to be some differences unless it's made under licence. Depreciation is a factor here unless you are going to purchase as a keeper for a few years.
