The Xiang Shuai XN650N Is An Audacious Sportster 883 Imitation

When it comes to cruisers, few models have heritage and legacy that runs as deep as that of the Harley-Davidson Sportster. Sure, the Bonneville range from Triumph also has decades of history, but it isn't exclusively present in the cruiser segment, so I guess we'll have to give that honor to the good old Sportster. 

Indeed, when someone – or something, for that matter, holds a strong position in a certain field, a lot of other players would want to imitate them in the hopes of achieving success. This is true even in the world of motorcycles, with established brands from Europe, the U.S., and Japan often being imitated by a multitude of Chinese motorcycle manufacturers. We've seen countless laughable attempts at imitating popular models, some of which you can read below, but this time around, it's the Harley-Davidson Sportster 883's turn to be copied.
