If there's one manufacturer that seems to never run out of ideas when it comes to rolling out new models, it's QJ Motor, Benelli's Chinese owner, and partner to the likes of Harley-Davidson and MV Agusta. The company must have a massive team of designers and engineers, as well as quite an impressive production facility in China, as it has been rolling out new models consistently for the past two years now.
While a lot of these bikes are solely available in the Chinese domestic market, a good number of them have made it into the global market under Benelli branding. At the Chongqing Motor Expo held in 2021, QJ Motor showcased a new sport-tourer powered by a 600cc inline-four. You may be familiar with the Benelli TNT600—a heavy and rather anemic naked bike sold in the U.S. a few years ago. Although it was criticized for its heavy weight and unimpressive performance, QJ Motor has made some tweaks to the bike and its engine, and has subsequently launched it in European and Asian markets.
