QJMotor 600 cc V4 Details Revealed By Ben Purvis

Earlier this year , China ' s QJMotor confirmed plans to make a new 600 cc cruiser powered by an unusual V4 engine - marking another step forward for both the company and for China ' s motorcycle industry - but it didn ' t give technical details of the bike . Now those details have become clear as it makes its way towards production , with type-approval paperwork filed in China that shows the key dimensions and the performance of the bike . The details show that the bike , dubbed Flash 600 , has a precise capacity of 561 cc , with a 61 mm bore and a 48 mm stroke . Those figures appear to confirm suspicions that QJMotor ' s V4 engine takes some influence from Honda ' s old VFR800 engine , which shared the same 48 mm stroke but allied it to a 72 mm bore for a total capacity of 782 cc - something that QJMotor might well replicate in the future . In its 561 cc form , the engine makes 50 kW ( 67 hp ), but the bike weighs a substantial 219 kg including fuel . The top speed is listed as 178 km / h ( 111 mph ), and the type-approval shows that the wheels are 16-inchers , with a 130 / 90-16 front and 180 / 65-16 rear tire . The 1,580 mm wheelbase is the same as a Harley-Davidson Pan America or a Ducati Diavel - adding to the impression that the initial 600 cc version of the bike will be followed by larger-capacity , more powerful variants in the future .
