If there's a 23 to 35 HP non-restricted upgrade, used "X350RA" trainers may be quite the bargain. Buy an extra for parts? 

What if QJ just buys out "The Motor Company"? It's not like HD is interested in building real-world hardware anymore. A 550 pound, 150 HP trail bike? A $30K, 560 pound, 100 mile-range-if-nursed-along electric bike? Shineray, another Chinese concern,  apparently has a big twin in production already. Between them and QJ you'd have a REAL motorcycle lineup. The HD Board would certainly peddle it all for the right $$$ number. When the next recession comes along and recreational vehicle sales crash, that number will get a lot lower.

SSR sell Benelli as well as the new QJ franchise. I asked SSR this about QJ: Is there an ETA on the new QJ vehicles? Any idea on the expected list for the QJ SRV550 and SRV300? The Leoncino TRAIL lists at MSRP $7,200, the Leoncino for $6,800. Will these prices be dropping now that QJ is importing the same engine in a 550 version?

They answered: "Thank you for your interest and you may follow us on facebook for the latest news about QJ motorcycles."

Sounds like they're still ironing it out.

The Benelli Leoncino Trail lists for about $7,200. The very similar QJ SRV550 is suggested at $7,300. I guess they are serious about selling these at roughly $1,500 more than the RE 650s. For a machine that isn't significantly better on a jeep road than an Interceptor with DP tires that's nuts. HP, weight, transmission, all too close to call. I'm sure not seeing a reason for a $1,500 premium. That leoncino IS pretty though.

QJ in Europe entered not long ago, but  with 6 year warranty !  but so far seems to be a solid brand, of all the ching chong brands, QJ and zontes from what ive personally seen online seem to be the best.

Its not really my thing...they feel a bit bland honestly for me, and i would have trouble justifying buying them when a cb500f costs near the same as qj 500 powerplant...but you know.

Well put, myself also. Hondas are hammers, why borrow trouble for only $800 less...?

The same sentiment goes for the new LC450 Himalayan, it looks like they will sell for maybe $6K and still weigh maybe 440 pounds or so. I'm not seeing why anyone wouldn't just get the KTM at $5500 - $6000 and 80 pounds lighter.

SRV 550 Euro-centric review:

QJ Motor Goes Neo-Retro With The New SRV 550 Roadster: Jan 10, 2023

https://www.rideapart.com/news/630442/qj-motor-srv550-roadster-launch-europe/

" QJ Motor relies on an existing engine in its model range, a 554cc parallel-twin engine cranking out 47.6 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque mounted to the tubular steel frame. The same engine powers the SRV 550 ST, SRT 550, and the GS550 sportbike. It sends power to the rear wheel via a chain-driven six-speed manual transmission. Apart from that, the bike rolls on 17-inch wheels front and rear, shod in road-focused rubber. The inverted front forks measure 41 millimeters, while a preload-adjustable monoshock handles rear suspension duties. Of course, the bike is equipped with ABS.
Overall, the QJ Motor SRV 550 is rather heavy for its displacement class, tipping the scales at 193 kilograms dry. Regardless, a bike of this nature isn't really designed with performance in mind, but rather mild to moderately spirited riding in a stylish package. QJ Motor offers the SRV 550 in a three two-tone colorways consisting of black, gray, and blue, and has slapped on a 6,790-Euro ($7,293 USD) price tag. The bike is already available in select QJ Motor dealerships across Europe. "  (about $6,100 stateside)

Looks like the SRV300 has grown!

Update: We won’t get the QJ Motor version of Harley-Davidson X350, we’ll have the tollway-legal SRV 400 instead.; Apr 2, 2023

https://www.autofun.ph/news-motorcycles/update-we-won%E2%80%99t-get-the-qj-motor-version-of-harleydavidson-x350-we%E2%80%99ll-have-the-tollwaylegal-srv-400-instead-65583

The QJ Motor SRV 400 is powered by a liquid-cooled, SOHC, 2-Cylinder V-Twin, 400cc engine, with a maximum power of 28 kW @ 8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 35 Nm @ 5,000 rpm. Aside from affording you the freedom to ride on tollways, its V-twin mill makes it more Harley-Davidson(ish) than the X350 which sports a parallel-twin. Further, the SRV 400 is styled like a proper cruiser. In fact, it closely resembles Harley-Davidson’s Sportster albeit having only a third of its displacement.
