In China, however, QJ Motor, the sister company of Benelli, has launched the Chase 350 and Chase 600. Both the motorcycles feature the same underpinnings as their Benelli counterparts.

Benda LFC700 To Debut Soon
From a market that is known to blatantly copy designs, the Benda LFC700 comes as a surprise. Not only is the design original, it has the performance to match its sinister looks. Heck, producing a little less than 100PS, it may very well be the most powerful cruiser in this segment. Read more about the cruiser in this story.
