Interesting. At a glance, I'd have assumed that to be some version of a K-Bike.

Comes with Brembo calipers, too. But no solid pricing announced yet, and a US dealer network even smaller than BMW.
Still interesting for a first-time entry into the market space, tho.

Best,
DeVern

Push-start ignition is standard equipment

I guess I've seen more out-of-proportion bikes, I just can't remember when.

I think that's the result of a fish-eye lens on the camera.



Otherwise, the proportions (and everything else) look very similar to an RT. Plus LED headlights. And front and rear cameras. And Brembo brakes that probably won't leak. The "push-button" starter looks a lot like "keyless". Electric mirrors are bit over the top.

Looks like Chinese market only.

Chinese manufactured is a deal breaker for me.why encourage their marketplace hegemony even in my discretionary spending- bad enough I am often forced to buy chinese through sheer lack of alternative. For me a bike is a statement of many things- My English, German and American brands reflect to some degree country of origin- FOR ME a Chinese Benilli is a phony. I don't care what it has or how it looks.

That bike is a clone of the (now discontinued) Triumph Trophy SE.

And now Loncin has a 1250 tourer as well:

Loncin’s Honda engine copies usually retail for about half what a genuine Honda engine goes for.
It will be interesting to see where their RT is positioned price-wise.
