ZA Bikers reviewed the QJ Motor SRV 600 V. Unlike a typical cruiser, its standout feature is a high-revving V4 engine. Producing 68bhp, it's praised as an approachable, beginner-friendly middleweight cruiser with bold styling.
I love how all-in the SRV 600 V goes. An un-cruiser-like V4, an exciting sound too. It's got a visual boldness that feels like the makers are saying 'who cares about convention.' A Chinese manufacturer's fearless aesthetic — doesn't that give you a little thrill?

A cruiser that spins cleanly all the way to high revs sounds like it offers a different kind of fun than a typical American cruiser - I'm intrigued.
Is a V4 engine unusual for a cruiser?
Right, most cruisers run a V-twin or a V-twin-style single or parallel-twin, so a V4 is a pretty rare configuration.
An offbeat middleweight cruiser is such a niche category to begin with, that depending on the price, the crowd it actually appeals to seems pretty limited.
They say 68bhp is friendly for beginners, but a high-revving engine kind of has the opposite image of being easy to handle.
The impression will really depend on the torque characteristics in the low-to-mid range, so it's hard to say anything for sure without seeing the actual power curve.
QJ Motor putting out a cruiser with mechanicals this aggressive is proof Chinese manufacturers' engineering capability is really climbing.
A high-revving V4 in a cruiser is a maverick idea right from the concept stage - it seems like it'll have a completely different character from a normal V-twin.
