MCN Review - QJMOTOR SRK 800 RR

QJMotor’s four-cylinder SRK 800 RR sportsbike, which has competed in the World Supersport championship, is now available in the UK priced from £6999 plus OTR charges.

The winged supersport bike, which shares some styling resemblance with CFMoto’s 675SR-R triple is being imported by Moto73 Ltd, and sits as part of a 16-strong line-up that will be available this summer.

“We are proud to introduce QJMotor in the United Kingdom – an exciting new chapter in the British motorcycle market,” a spokesperson for the importer said.

Away from the scales, the Chinese machine produces a claimed 120.7bhp at 12,000rpm, plus 54.6lb.ft of torque at 9500rpm. The motor itself is a 778cc, DOHC 16v unit, with a bore and stroke of 67mm x 55mm.

Exhausts sweep to the right-hand side like a Honda CBR650R, with a right-side exit exhaust mounted just below a remote shock adjuster enjoying styling reminiscent of an Akrapovič end can.

Elsewhere, and impressive for the asking price, is a set of four-piston radially mounted front brake calipers complete with 320mm discs. A twin-piston Brembo stopper is also found at the rear, with cornering ABS onboard thanks to a six-axis IMU.

Marzocchi suspension is adjustable at both ends, and a front tyre size of 120/70×17 and a rear of 180/55×17 should provide plenty of aftermarket options for quality sporty road rubber.

The goodies don’t end there either, with a five-inch TFT dash, plus traction control, and a ride-by-wire throttle to allow for both cruise control and an up/down quickshifter.

The QJMotor Factory Racing team is currently competing in the World Supersport championship using the SRK with past winners Raffaele de Rosa, and Niki Tuuli.
