So QJ Motor is entering WSBK. What's interesting is that the SRK 1000 RR's base is a 921cc inline-four carrying the blood of the MV Agusta F4 750. Chinese players storming a world championship's grand stage would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Technology only gets sharpened by fighting on the ground. This is a challenge to welcome.
