Chinese manufacturer QJMotor could soon be adding a three-cylinder engine to its portfolio. A patent application published in February 2025 points to a new triple - and it is even said to be equipped with an automated manual transmission (AMT). As Benelli belongs to the Qianjiang Group, it is conceivable that this engine will also be used in new models from the Italian brand.
With the SRK 800, QJMotor is launching a new naked bike variant based on the super-sporty SRK 800 RR in 2025. The machine is based on an in-line four-cylinder engine with 122 hp, positioning it in a highly competitive segment. The Chinese manufacturer's increasing involvement in the area of four-cylinder engines between 800 and 1,000 cubic centimetres is particularly interesting. QJMotor was already represented in the 2024 Supersport World Championship with the SRK 800 RR. The SRK 800 is derived directly from this model and is designed to impress with modern technology and high-performance components.
QJMotor has unveiled the Super9, a new superbike that not only looks a lot like the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000. However, there is more behind it than just a visual imitation. In fact, the Super9 is the result of a cooperation between MV Agusta and QJMotor's parent company Qianjiang, which dates back to 2020. This partnership enables QJMotor to manufacture and distribute motorcycles based on MV Agusta's technology for the Chinese market.
The increasing efforts of Chinese manufacturers to develop technically advanced and competitive products in the motorcycle sector are clearly reflected in the rise of Chinese manufacturers. One example is the QJMotor SRK 1000 RC Ten 78 recently presented at EICMA 2023, which is characterized by its collaboration with the Italian brand MV Agusta and its former designers Adrian Morton and Paolo Bianchi. QJMotor, a company previously known for its collaborations with MV Agusta, has unveiled two impressive models: the SRK 900 RR and the SRK 1000 RC Ten 78.
China's motorcycle giant QJ Motor is forging ambitious plans that go far beyond affordable two-wheelers through a partnership with MV Agusta: A lit-class superbike, technologically refined and design-inspired by the Italian brand, could rearrange the playing field in the world of high-performance motorcycles.
The days of ridiculing the introduction of a Chinese-made sports motorcycle with a four-cylinder engine are long gone. QJMotor, one of the fastest growing motorcycle brands in China, is expanding its lineup with a brand new 800cc model, the SRK 800RR.
QJ Motor has unveiled the 600RR mid-range sportster to compete against the CBR500RR or CFMoto 450SR.
Motorcycles from Chinese motorcycle manufacturer QJ Motor are now coming to the European market. Starting in June, the manufacturer, which also includes Benelli, will launch three high-quality models.
QJ Motor will apparently soon introduce two motorcycles powered by a 693cc twin-cylinder, which will also be released on the European market. A sport bike and a naked bike are planned.
The QJMotor 600RR has been seen in a revised form. More sportiness is to be achieved, thanks to a new fairing with winglets installed and an increased displacement, among other things.
At the 2021 Beijing Motor Show, Quianjiang Motors showed its QJ7000D electric sports bike for the first time. Now patent applications have surfaced about the bike.
Chinese motorcycle manufacturer QJMotor has unveiled the naked streetfighter Chase 700 at the Beijing Motor Show. It will go on sale worldwide under the Benelli branding, but first it will be launched in the Chinese market.
QJMotor has released images of the SRK 600 for the Asian market, but information is currently being withheld. On the European market, the mid-range naked bike is expected to hit showrooms as the Benelli TNT 600.
Benelli is currently working to better position itself for the global market. A new TNT 600 could be coming to the market soon.
Rumors of an upcoming 300cc Harley Davidson for the Asian market have been around for a while. Now QJ Motor has submitted the type approval for the SRV300, which is also accompanied by a real photo. This motorcycle is likely to be the basis of the upcoming Harley.
QJMotor was founded only recently and has already been able to present a number of models that are in production. The company serves a wide range of segments.
A Chinese type-approval document shows that Benelli is working on a new model.
