The Chinese are slowly building up the number of new models available world wide.


The first is an 800 DOHC single cruiser style bike with CVT....




The second is the new WK 650TR




An 800 single cylinder cruiser with CVT.....hmmm not sure about that, but it'll be worth a view at the show.
The 650TR looks good though

I do like the look of the 650TR.
Have a look at it at the bike show.......will it be there?

Yep according to the importer WK motorcycles.

Me and Liam looked on their stand last year.....and sat on their 250cc scoot.
The one with the Skoda grille!

Scary. :p

Well there's a write up in a US mag I get on subscription. (motorcyclist). They test rode the new WK 650 (unfaired model) and they called the WK650 a game changer.

But what of the long term reliability

I have no idea, but I'm sure the same thing was sais of the first Japanese machines to arrive in the UK or USA..

All I will say is my 05 Jialing chinese Helix clone with 5K miles is sitting outside covered up knackerd and my 1990 Honda helix with 25K is still running so my advice is buy second hand quality not cheap chinese new

Yes Jules I know that Chinese stuff, or most Chinese 2 wheelers don't last, but that will and is slowly changing. You got to look at where the Chinese are coming from - 60- 70 years a Communist state.

I'm sure they'll be a difference in the quality of product between a modern Jailing and your 05 machine.
