Zhejiang Jiajue Motorcycle Manufacturing have released some
pictures which depict what they claim to be the ZJMM R12 bike, a machine
with a look so similar to the 2013 Honda CBR250R, that we believe it
wouldn't make it past noon at the EICMA.
Now, with China copying pretty much any design which might be transformed into something that sells well and the quarter-liter segment expecting a dramatic stir starting this year, going for the most successful bikes is just small surprise.
We already saw Guardia di Finanza seizing Chinese scooters at the last EICMA because they were copying Vespa models all the way, so we can expect that such a bike would not reach any market outside China where Honda has an established presence.
And frankly, we really hoped China used its resources to come up with something original. It may be tough first, but we know that human creativity knows no nationality.
