So it's an era where a Chinese middleweight sportbike gets test ridden in South Africa. From what I've seen on the ground, you can't underestimate emerging brands like this anymore. Bikes are showing up that ride, from corner entry to exit, way better than their price would suggest. I'd like to find out just how far the SRK 450 RR goes.

Are QJMotor and CFMoto actually part of the same company group?

Right, they're both under the Chunfeng Group umbrella, more or less sister brands.

Depending on pricing, this could really eat into Japanese and European market share.

I could never have imagined a few years ago that Chinese sport bikes would get this much buzz in the African market.

A 450cc middleweight sport bike is a displacement that can go toe-to-toe with the CBR lineup on paper alone.

I'm curious how the review reads not just in numbers but in actual ride quality.

They say the reputation is rising fast, but honestly the real-world durability is still an unknown.

QJMotor's presence must be growing if South Africa's already publishing test-ride articles on it.
