Yes, the Chinese have been making Rotax engines for BMW motorcyles since 2009. ;)

Wikipedia states the following under the caption, 2009 G650GS.

"In late 2008, BMW relaunched the original single-cylinder F650GS under the new name G650GS in the United States, South America, Greece and Australia. The new G650GS is essentially the 2007 single-cylinder F650GS brought back into production with some minor modifications and with the engine assembled by Loncin in China instead of Rotax in Austria, but still using parts manufactured by Rotax in Europe. The finished engines are shipped back to BMW in Germany where the bikes are assembled."

At first, many BMW owners tried to deny this fact. :roll: However, when the evidence became irrefutable, the BMW owners finally decided that Chinese motors were acceptable, as long these engines were installed in BMWs! :lol:

Spud :)

It's probably much quicker to ask what is not made in China.

That sounds like a new catch phrase: genuine Chinese. :lol:
