Supersport is a BOP class, the best bikes are strangled , so everyone can play.
We should welcome another manufacturer, irrespective of nationality.
They will get their asses kicked, learn, go away, lick their wounds, redevelop, return stronger. Same as every new manufacturer. Success depends partly on how many cycles they have patience and budget for, but they'll cycle quicker than, say, Beta or TM can.
Only Triumph has impressed as a new entrant in the last couple of years. Jury is still out on Ducati.

I've been in a BYD in Mexico in an uber. It was extremely nice and comfortable. I was impressed.
They lose money for fun, like all the cheap EV's.
Nobody buys, they are just cheap subsidised leases.
Even at 42, they are in excess of 20% down on HP to a factory race bike. That does get them closer to a production bike though... They are still going to need to find a fair amount more.
I'm curious what they plan to do on suspension... Will they put on some Showa or KYB? Or is it going to be the Yu'An stuff? Yu'An cone valves anyone?? The pictures of the bike show WPS decals... I thought they were a tuning company, but what are they tuning?
what are you talking about?
Who loses money?
Who leases what?
Who subsidises said leases?
Apparently you've never met anyone who owned a Kawasaki dealership in the late 70s.
Unfortunately without bop you wouldn’t be able to run a supersport class in 2026 as 600s official died with the r6 being discontinued. It would just end up with everyone running v2s.
I heard it was Long Duk Dong.
Do some of you guys think that being pro-China is virtuous, somehow? Seems that way. That place has a rich history of stealing intellectual property internationally that is second to none. If you buy a Kove over an RMZ250, you honestly deserve everything that happens to you along the way.
Didn't Ping try this once?
C’mon man, simply recognizing that China has the ability to manufacture well-engineered products doesn’t make one “Pro Chinese.” There are a lot of reasons to cast a jaundiced eye towards the PRC, and IP theft is among the least of them.
I think that was the "Tornado" or something. One of the funniest articles ever; I'd pay to see that thing rock up at a GP 😄
Assuming it finishes the race, could Jett win an EMX250 race on a Kove?
the world is too small and connected to be anti (most) any country or people without being hypocritical.
Its crazy how melted peoples brains are these days. Everybody is just discussing the merits of the bike and how far theyve come on manufacturing while still having a ways to go in certain areas and somehow that makes someone pro-china and in his brain pro ccp, pro communism, pro whatever else. Everything is so black and white you even slightly praise the bike and youre a full blown communist. Lay off the pipe.
Pit Row
The bike has proven reliable. Jubal has hundreds of hours on his Gen 1. It's catching up in performance that's going to be tough.
Chinese Takeout. The best thing RacerX ever produced.
Don't they come with KYB from the factory?
I agree, but you shouldnt be saying 'this bike is great ' based on it relative performance to others that are being restricted to give it a chance.
It seems that new Sportbike and Supersport regs are bring in manufacturers which is only a good thing, but not so much when the one you buy wont pull a greasy stick out of a dogs arse.
Any video? Who are the riders?
They are all being restricted including KOVE. What is clear is that, given a set of performance and mechanical parameters they are on par with larger manufacturers in a racing series. Including engine, chasis, suspension etc etc
I know that there are lads eyeing up zxmotos for club racing when they available so we will see.
When I was in Asia, Chinese electric cars was everywhere, the style and tech on them things made Audi/vw and the like look like something out of the 80s
The West have a bit of chip on their shoulders when it comes to bikes and cars
They are coming, Good luck to them, hope they do well
The bikes actually look pretty good
Do you think there is manurfacturing in any country that has not stolen intellectual property?
By the way, I don't think anybody is mad anymore about Suzuki stealing Easter Germany MZ secrets to 2 strokes competitiveness but if you're interested in the sport history, Stealing Speed by Mat Oxley is a must read (both the book and graphic novel).
