When, in the spring, Qianjiang, then QJ, presented the project of a V4 engine, immediately one thought of a new Tornado or, at least, a sporty Benelli (as is known, the Pesaro brand is Chinese-owned), but the presentation of the Flash V4 600 surprised everyone.
The fact that Qianjiang is Harley-Davidson’s partner in the Asian market, and produces the X500, should have alerted us, and needless to say, the novelty is a replica of the H-D Sportster.
So far, the exact displacement is not known, and the engine performance has not been declared; an estimated power of about 70 hp can be expected, which should move the 219 kg indicated in the documents presented (probably dry weight).
The braking system includes a pair of 300 mm discs with radial mount calipers, and a single 260 mm disc, with both 16-inch wheels equipped with 130/90-16, 180/65-16 tires.
The suspension is Marzocchi, with an inverted fork and a pair of rear shock absorbers. The final drive is a toothed belt, like in Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
Other data disclosed to date by QJMotor includes a wheelbase of 1,580 millimeters, a seat height of 720 millimeters, and nothing more.
The circular instrumentation features a color screen and we know that, in addition to the classic screens, it includes a tire pressure screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and simplified navigation.
