Hi Guys, I'm a Brit living in China, and I've just bought an FL400D. It's powered by a Visenck 394cc water-cooled twin cylinder engine, and looks a bit like a Harley 883 Sportster.

Welcome aboard! :hi: Please post pictures when you get a chance. Would like to see what this bike looks like.

Welcome! That bike sounds a lot like the kind of bikes I wish we would get. I agree with the pictures, I am curious to see what it looks like.

Welcome aboard mate! Please share, how much did that bike cost you over there? 4 Speed or 5? Full manual or semi?

I'm living in China, and this bike cost me 16,000 yuan, which is about $2,325. It's got 6 gears, fully manual, EFI, and a hydraulic clutch. I bought it online, from the very famous TaoBao. I've only had it a few weeks, so still treating it gently, just done the first oil and filter change

Wow! nice looking bike. :tup: I like it. Looks just like the Benda 400 which uses the same engine.

Yes, there are many brands of bikes here, but only a few engine manufacturers. I think a lot of the smaller companies just buy in from a pool of parts, and so there are lots of bikes which look the same, but with a different name on the side

Yes and there is also a 250cc and 350cc version of that engine. They are known for be very reliable.

That bike would go over big here. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Welcome!
Love the lines on that bike; tasteful and smooth. I especially like the low-profile tires on turbine rims and the tank with no decals or badges.

The only thing I don't like is the swingarm but that's not a deal breaker for me.

So who is going to order a container full and get them EPA certified? About $2500 each plus shipping. https://www.engtaobao.com/item/taobao/596198161492.html or these https://www.engtaobao.com/item/taobao/583434530392.html
