Recent years have seen a lot of new cruisers from a bunch of Chinese manufacturers. And a lot of these seem to be cooked up from the same recipe: a mid-size parallel-twin engine, mildly retro styling, and laid-back ergonomics. In the context of the Asian market, this recipe works, as we tend to be shorter than our American and European counterparts.
Having said that, there’s a new Chinese cruiser in the game, and it comes from Zongshen, a company we’ve talked about in the past, and one with ties to Italian moto giant Piaggio. Its newest model, dubbed the Cyclone RA 600, is set to go on sale in China this year, and should it prove to be a success in its home market.
