The saturated two-wheeler market of China is all set to get two unique offerings from Colove Motorcycles, both codenamed the "321F", based on the images originated from the Chinese type approval application. Colove or Kove motorcycles grabbed headlines earlier this year when they presented their working 400cc four-cylinder sportbike prototype engine, and now, the company is gearing up for the launch of the 321F neo-retro twins.
The combination of a boxy LED headlight setup along with a muscular chiseled fuel tank present a rather modern yet retro persona to the bike. Additional retro elements include a brown leather split seat setup. The main difference between both the twins are that one sibling is a semi-faired model with a tucked in position that features a sharp front cowl for a classy cafe racer look, while the other is a retro naked bike offering an upright riding position. Additionally, the cafe racer also gets raised clip-ons, while the roadster gets a single-piece bar.
Both these bikes are mechanically identical, with the engine mounted in a tubular trellis frame derived from the NK321R naked bike and NK321RR sportbike. The 321Fs are powered by a twin-cylinder liquid-cooled 322cc engine that produces 41.5PS and 28.47Nm, which puts it right in the Yamaha YZF-R3 and MT-03's territory. While we do not know how the bikes perform in the real world yet, considering that the naked and faired bikes only weigh 148kgs and 149kgs respectively, the power-to-weight ratio would definitely be higher than that of the MT-03 and R3.
Benelli’s New ADV Brings The Fight To Triumph, Kawasaki and Suzuki
From what can be inferred from the images, the suspension duties are handled by USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Further adding to the premium feel is a single-sided swingarm for some high-end style that’s usually lacking in this segment. The two bikes use 110/70ZR-17 front and 150/60ZR-17 rear tyres, the faired model is seen with wire-spoke wheels while the naked version uses cast alloy wheels.
