Handbags, sneakers, cars, electronic devices – there is almost nothing for which plagiarism is not offered on the Asian market. And the counterfeiters – or to put it cautiously, the imitators – don’t stop at motorcycles either. Sometimes the design doesn’t hit the bull’s eye, and often it is totally off the mark. Nevertheless, it is unmistakably recognizable which original motorcycle each Chinese model refers to. It is also clear that the plagiarism does not even come close to the technical and especially not the security standards. The European quality controls are unlikely to pass, if at all, very few. However, since the models are mainly intended for the domestic Chinese market, the hurdles for local dissemination remain rather low.

The models are particularly popular among brand-conscious drivers who cannot afford the original. Most of the time, the shape and color of the fairing refer to the original bikes, but the engines are mainly smaller engines – often single-cylinder with 150, 200 and 300 cc, but sometimes 400 cc two-cylinder.

BMW F 650 CS as a template for “energy efficient” Counterfeit

There are almost no limits, like our colleagues from 1000PS report: Whether a limited edition in the design of the Ducati 1098 in a tricolor outfit, a cheap-looking copy of a Streetfighter from the last decade with a red painted tubular space frame or a mini version of the Ducati Scrambler with 14-inch rims, which is also on the front somewhat reminiscent of a Honda MSX 125. The Duke series is also very popular with counterfeiters, and Kawasaki has to have several “Zs” and ninjas, from Honda for example the CBR 250 R. The German motorcycle manufacturer BMW also serves as a popular template: Jonway uses this for his model named “YY 250” on the BMW F 650 CS and praises it as powerful and energy-efficient thanks “the large tank of this electric scooter” on.

Fortunately, there are no official importers for the imitation bikes from China in Germany. Individual models can be ordered via the Alibaba trading platform, but often with transport costs that far exceed the purchase price. For example with the Mini Dodge Tomahawk from China, which we covered. It costs the equivalent of 1,000 euros, but shipping costs 4,200 US dollars, i.e. around 3,900 euros.
