Benelli Could Soon Release 400cc Parallel-Twin-Powered Machines

You may not be familiar with QJ Motor as a brand, but you may be familiar with Benelli and MV Agusta, two firms with which the Chinese manufacturer has formed strategic partnerships. In fact, QJ Motor owns Benelli, and the Chinese company produces all of the Italian brand's motorcycles in-house.

Now, all that being said, we previously talked about QJ Motor’s GS400RR sportbike. Well, it seems that the Chinese company is making some progress, at least with the engine. In a report published by Cycle World, the company recently submitted a set of approval documents for road-going vehicles in China, with a model dubbed the BJ400J, a 400cc-equipped sport-tourer meant for use in the local police force. What’s interesting is that the BJ400J is an evolution of one of Benelli’s Chinese models which shares the same architecture as the 302S, a naked bike available all over the world.
