Patent drawings suggest Chinese manufacturer Kove is developing a 350 Rally with a parallel-twin engine making around 47 horsepower. The frame, tank and swingarm echo the larger 450 model with lower-spec suspension to cut cost, and the sub-350cc capacity lines up with India's tax threshold that keeps GST at 18% instead of 40%.

I didn't expect patent drawings alone to get me this excited. A frame and tank shape carried over from the 450, paired with a roughly 47-horsepower parallel twin, and compared with the outgoing lineup you can see the push toward lighter and simpler. Aiming right at India's tax bracket like this, as an engineer, this is the good part.

Just hearing it inherits the 450's frame gets me excited.

A 40% versus 18% tax gap is huge, of course they'd land on 349cc.

Sizing the engine purely around a tax bracket feels pretty blatant.

Blatant or not, if it's cheaper riders will still be happy about it.

It's just patent drawings, production isn't confirmed yet, right?

47bhp is honestly a strong number for a 350cc class machine.
