New Chinese (built) ADV bike!

Couldn't see myself buying a Chinky bike, but the spec reads well on this, apart from the weight maybe.

M1NSK are Russian, not Chinese… :blink:

It looks like a nice bike:



Very similar to the Chinese ADV bike I saw at the Dealer EXPO in January.

Minsk are a Belarus brand, but this model is made in China.

Looks like a mini rip-off Tiger / GS

That looks very nice other manufactures watch your back!

Interesting history.... it seems Minsk were yet another company that built a version of the DKW RT125 after the war. In british hands it became the BSA Bantam, and Harley amongst others also made a clone.
The new bike, though, seems to be closely related to the "Honley" being sold by a UK dealership, Earnshaws .... http://www.honley.bike/

Just found this. Seems it's a re-badged Zongshen RX3. Youtube vid:
