V-Four powered street motorcycles are rare, usually confined to the top tier machines (read: most expensive), when there used to be midrange V-Fours in the mid-80s. Looks like QJMotor will bring us there again with the debut of the QJMotor SRV600V, which has just been launched in Malaysia.
The SRV600V takes the shape of a power cruiser, complete with fat tyres and a muscular styling.
Highlights
- V-Four cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC, 561cc engine which produces 67 hp at 10,500 RPM and 54 Nm at 8,000 RPM.
- Spent engine gasses exit through four exhaust pipes – two on both sides of the bike.
- Engine power is sent through a 6-speed transmission.
- 16-inch front and rear wheels, shod with 130/90 and 180/65 tyres.
- The front suspension consists of Marzocchi upside down forks, while the rear is supported by twin shock absorbers.
- There are twin 300mm disc brakes up front, with a 260mm disc at the back.
- 16.5-litre fuel tank.
- 720 mm seat height.
- QJMotor lists the weight at 219 kg but did not specify if it is dry or wet.
- TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity to the rider’s smartphone through the Carbit Ride app.
The QJMotor SRV600V is priced at RM33,888 (not on-the-road). There are three colour options, namely Silver, Sky Black, and Night Black.
