A 500cc supersport with racing pedigree really pays off. A bike honed on the track has good manners, corner entry through exit. Underestimate it just for being made in China and you'll pay for it. I want to see how this rides on the ground in September.

If the substance is real, this could be a genuine price-disruptor in the middleweight supersport class — hoping for that.

Chinese-made superbikes have really come to draw this much attention in just the past few years.

That 'ZX' naming is surely a deliberate nod to Kawasaki, but I want to see what it's actually like underneath.

Slated for a September launch — the full spec should come into focus in the next few months, so I'll wait for updates.

Chinese-made superbikes showing this much presence in the sport segment — the balance of power in the industry is shifting.

There's no doubt the Japanese manufacturers have reached a point where they can't ignore this kind of Chinese competition anymore.

Saw the same ZXMoto story in another outlet too, but it bugs me that none of them name the specific races it's supposedly won.

Without specific named race results, honestly I'll take it as marketing talk and only half believe it.
