Is This Spanish-Badged, Chinese-Made Adventure Motorcycle Brave Or Just Cheap?

Leonart Motors is a Spanish motorcycle brand, but let’s be clear about what that means. They don’t cast engines in Barcelona or hand-weld frames in some sunlit Mediterranean workshop. Like a lot of small European labels, Leonart designs and specifies its bikes in Spain, then has them built in China and sold under its own badge across Europe.

It’s closer to a curated rebadge operation than a ground-up manufacturer. And that context matters when you’re looking at something like the Racer 300. That doesn’t automatically make it junk. It just frames the conversation properly.

Because the Racer 300 isn’t pretending to be a heritage machine. It’s a 292cc liquid-cooled single cylinder making about 28 horsepower, paired to a six-speed gearbox, wrapped in a steel tubular frame. It weighs roughly 331 pounds dry and carries a 17-liter tank. Claimed fuel economy hovers around 78 miles per gallon. On paper, that’s solid commuter math.
