A Chinese motorcycle has scored its first road race win in the UK.
Sean O’Neill, riding a WK650i for McKinstry Racing, won at Kirkistown, Co Down, Northern Ireland, on East Monday (1 April). He was seventh in his second race on the twin cylinder machine that day. The race team reports that it has not been tuned and has standard road suspension. It runs in the stock twins class.
On Saturday, 30 March, O’Neill had scored second and fourth places on the same bike at Bishopscourt, Co Down, in the combined stock twins and supertwins races.
“It was our first race win of the season and a very encouraging start,” said team owner Billy McKinstry.
