QJ Motor just pulled the cover off the SRK 1051 RR, and honestly, this one caught me off guard. We talked about the SRK 921 not too long ago and I joked that it felt like the alternate universe Brutale. Fun bike, weird vibe, very “what if MV Agusta grew up in Hangzhou instead of Varese.” Now QJ’s back with something that feels like the final form of that idea.
The SRK 1051 RR looks like the brand’s whole MV Agusta tech transfer finally coming together. And yeah, it might be the most legit superbike attempt China’s ever made… right alongside that new liter bike from CFMoto.
The thing that jumps out first is the design. QJ didn’t even pretend to do this alone. They went straight to Italy and tapped C Creative. That’s Giovanni Castiglioni’s outfit, with Adrian Morton leading the design work. Which means you’ve basically got the same minds behind some of MV’s prettiest bikes sketching lines for QJ. And you can totally see it. The proportions feel right, the single sided swingarm belongs on a poster, and the bodywork has Morton’s fingerprints all over it. It’s dramatic in a way you don’t expect from a company that was making small commuters not too long ago.
