SRK400

Chinese motorcycle giant QJMotor has launched its latest entry-level motorcycle, the SRK400, in Europe.

  • QJMotor ready to compete the entry-level naked bike segment with the all-new SRK400.
  • The SRK400 features 400cc parallel-twin engine and is equipped with modern equipment including ABS. 

The naked-style motorcycle is set to please new and young European riders thanks to its sporty and aggressive design and nifty equipment.

Mechanically, the SRK400 is equipped with a 400cc parallel twin-cylinder with a liquid-cooled and fuel-injected engine that makes 41.5hp @ 9,000rpm and 37Nm @ 7,000rpm. 

The power figure puts the SRK400, on average, in the entry-level segment, making it a good option for new riders seeking that extra kick. 

In addition, the SRK400 also features dual-channel ABS for added safety. 

However, similar to other QJMotor ranges of bikes, the SRK400 tips the scale at 176kg, making it the heaviest among its rival. 

That said, the bike might not offer the best handling and acceleration due to its longer and taller dimension.

Nonetheless, the standout part of the SRK400 is the price tag, coming in at just EUR5,790 (RM27.1k).

QJMotor is ready to set foot in Europe after successfully passing the safety and emission regulations. 

  • QJMotor to enter Europe with three new models.
  • QJMotor is betting on the SKR700, SKR400 and SRV550 for its first batch of bikes to reach Europe. 

For those who are not in the loop, QJMotor (Qianjiang Motorcycle) is a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1985. 

While the brand is less known in Europe, its subsidiary, Benelli, has been making waves, especially in Italy, with the TRK 502 emerging as the top-selling bike in the country.

That said, QJMotor wants a piece of the pie and is ready to explore the European market by the end of 2022.

Several models, ranging from small capacity motorcycles up to 800cc adventure bikes, have just been awarded European type approval. 

According to reports, the first batch of bikes set to reach Europe is the SRK700, SRK400 and the SRV550. 

However, the SRK700 is the most unique as there is no Benelli equivalent and runs on a 689cc parallel-twin that makes 74hp peak power and 55Nm of torque.

QJMotor also claimed the SRK700 hit both peaks of power at lower RPM than the Yamaha MT-07.

In addition, the SRV550 shares the same parallel-twin engine that MV Agusta uses in their Lucky Explorer 5.5.
