Chinese brand QJMotor is new to the UK, but it’s determined to make a splash, with a range that encompasses learner-legal, adventure, naked, cruiser and now supersports machinery. The SRK800RR is a road-going version of the firm’s foray into the World Supersports Championship. It’s powered by a 778cc inline four delivering 94hp and 75Nm of torque, putting it on a par with more expensive rivals such as the Honda CBR650R and Suzuki GSX-8R. Costs haven’t been cut on the important bits either: Marazocchi provides the adjustable suspension and Brembo supplies the quad-piston radial braking system and matching ABS. Further tech aids include an up/down quickshifter, slipper clutch, three ride modes, cruise control and a 5in TFT display with phone connectivity and tyre pressure monitoring. It comes in a choice of three colours – red, black or silver – for a price of £6999 +OTR.
