Just stumbled across this bike.
23.80 HP (17.4 kW)) @ 6500 RPM
189.6kg
320cc (19.53 cubic inches)
Have I missed the point or something? Why would anyone buy this motorcycle? |

Because its a TROO 'MURRICAN "sports bike" so the Yank riders who dont want a Harley can buy a "sports bike" thats domestic made and not a "terrorist import" vehicle thats killing the great American auto industry... or something like that, I dunno, yanks are weird when it comes to buying cars so I can only assume theyre just as weird when it comes to bikes  |

Well. Honda sold a shitload of superdreams over the years and this looks like it does something similar but looks a litle better.
I wonder if it is below some state limit for one requirement or another in terms of capacity or power or power:weight? I know when I hired a 110cc mini chopper in Florida, they didn't even ask if I had a driving licence.
Might be it's on the limit of what you can ride without a test (or helmet?) in some states? ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Well it fooled me, with the Texan dive bar/Sons of Anarchy wannabe font and a name like "Johnny Pag" and the generic cowboy guitar noises, so it'll likely fool any American too!
(Well, not so much "fooled", more I didnt care enough to actually look it up and took it at face value! ) |

Those brakes look like what I'd imagine you get if you showed a Chinese designer a picture of some radials and then said 'here, copy these. And make them as cheaply as possible. From cheese. And make them look like they belong on a toy'. ____________________ Triumph Daytona 675 track bike + girlfriend's Honda Hornet 600

Before I saw someone mention what you ride, my immediate thought was the new ranger of low capacity wannabe 'sports' commuters.
Similar power to the CBR250R, bit more weight, but the bigger presence will appeal to many purchasers.
Seems to be a good chunk cheaper than the ninja and it's not like your typical purchaser is considering performance when they buy.
I was going to quote some indivdual bits from this, but the whole page is frankly - https://www.johnnypagmotors.com/our-story/ . |
