New Chinese motorcycle brand QJMotor has unveiled its entire range of motorcycles for 2021 at the China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition, or CIMA Show in Chongqing, China. QJMotor may be a new brand, but the firm is part of the Qianjiang Group, the parent company of Benelli. So, QJMotor's range may be all-new for 2021, but the brand has been able to draw on the existing platforms and components from Benelli to create its own line of premium products for the Chinese market.

The QJMotor SRK 350 gets sharp looks and is built on a 350 cc engine with a kerb weight of 176 kg
The QJMotor SRK 350 is the brand's version based on the Benelli 302 S, but looks a lot modern with sharp bodywork, full LED lighting, a TFT dashboard and backlit bar controls. As the name suggest, the engine gets a displacement bump to 350 cc, with maximum power of 36 bhp at 9,000 rpm and peak torque of 31 Nm at 7,000 rpm. With a kerb weight of 176 kg, the SRK 350 seems to be a light package and should offer agile handling with an upside down fork and monoshock rear suspension.
The QJMotor Sport Turismo 250 seems to be an all-new model
The smallest motorcycle from QJMotor is the Turismo Sport 250, with an old school, modern-classic, retro design. Benelli doesn't have anything like the Turismo Sport 250 yet, and it's not the same engine as the Benelli Leoncino 250 either. So, it may be fair to assume that Benelli may introduce some sort of a new entry-level model based on the Turismo Sport 250. The oil-cooled twin makes just 17.4 bhp, but the build quality looks good and the bike is quite well-finished. The Turismo Sport 250 gets a LCD console, dual-channel ABS and runs on an 18-inch front wheel and 15-inch rear wheel.
