Of all the emerging motorcycle companies from China, the one I'm most excited about is ZXMoto and its 820 lineup. Although CFMoto and its V4 SR-RR come in a very close second. But since ZXMoto took back-to-back race wins at Portimão in the WorldSSP championship with its 820RR platform, becoming the first Chinese brand to win a race in that championship, I've been fixated on this motorcycle.
But how does the production 820RR compare to the benchmarks in the category, like Ducati's Panigale V2? Richard Hammond, former presenter on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, went to China to find out.
