BMW won't be amused
This is a Vietnamese website showing pictures of a new Chinese bike. It's a 450 cc twin but it looks like a direct copy of the BMW S1000RR
https://motosaigon.vn/soc-voi-s450rr...rung-quoc.html Note the bike's logo which shares (more than) a passing resemblance to the BMW propeller symbol

Re: BMW won't be amused
I fell into the propeller myth trap again. It was the standard pub quiz type of question but when that busy-body interweb got involved it was disproved:

Re: BMW won't be amused
Good old Chinese government approved sales tactics - rip off anything you want and we will impose sky high import taxes on the original making it an impossibility for anyone to afford anything but the clone then instruct the court to rule it's not a copy but a proper Chinese product....lol

Re: BMW won't be amused
Anyone buying tha, probably couldn't afford the BMW anyway. Not as if BMW will lose any sales over it, doubt they'll bad an eyelid.

Re: BMW won't be amused
As soon as it hits the road it's going to 'self destruct' anyway, the Chinese can copy just about anything ... except build quality and reliabilty!!

Re: BMW won't be amused
I think you'll find there's currently a world wide issue which has been going on for nearly a year now, and is still performing well
