That would be an improvement over the bean counter controlled design that the MoFoCo came out with.
I wonder what the right side of the engine looks like. All the pics I've seen of it only show the left side.
I also wonder if this will be like the W1 Kawasaki. It was a clone of the old BSA A-10 engine and even used the same special tools to assemble it.

The article said it was a clone so I doubt changes were made to provide a trap door.

plus one
money and time wise makes the trap door not desirable.

There are a couple of youtube videos of it, and one of them shows the right side. It has an oval where the nose cone would be.

Reverse toilet swirl is a myth. Did you know that 75% of the water used in the Sydney, NSW airport is from travelers flushing toilets to see if the water does swirl in the opposite direction?
Having visited Australia several times, I can testify that it really is a myth without basis in reality.
However; IF the Chinese can hold to QA procedures, there's no reason why they couldn't build a bike that's as reliable as what the MoFoCo turns out.
I won't buy one; but it might be a good bike.

I remember when "Corolla" meant "cheap"
Things have changed. Human beings are resourceful. ALL of us
