Not bad, but still behind modern Japanese 600s.
Perhaps you could clear up some confusion -- are Benelli bikes designed in Italy and manufactured in China, or are all Benelli bikes designed and manufactured in China? I see both answers online, and am curious. |

Problem is if we ever got it here it would be near the same price as the japanese counterparts.

"I know, but it's already 6k. I would guess it's would be closer to 7k. Looks like nice bikes though but they are on the high end of the price."
Yeah, two years ago the Hawk 250 was almost at the $1k mark more or less, and now they are bumping $2k in the butt.,with the DLX. The new 2020 Brozz 250's are $2k., more or less. The TBR7 is still reasonable but if the China Bikes keep increasing in cost this rapidly ,then we will be square in good used Jap Bike price ranges ,and as much as I love my Chinabike I'm not going to lie and say it's as good as a Japanese product ,if i can buy a good used Jap bike for what a new China bike is going to cost me, then that is the option I would take. The bottom line is for me, the low cost was the "big thing"., if that goes out the window, then I'm pretty much done .

They've gone up over the years. I bought my first GY 200 for $695.00, brand new. They have also gotten vastly improved over the earlier counterparts. As they get better in quality, price will go up.
I had no qualms paying 1750.00 for my 09 Qlink, brand new, when most GY 200's of that time were around a grand. The Q was light years ahead of the early Hondoids of that time. If they were readily available with some parts support, I'd easily pay the bucks for the SSR XF250 over the woefully outdated Suzuki DR200. http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%...19/DR200S.aspx https://www.snmotorsports.com/New-In...Enduro-7607724
