MWQ, did you have a hand in this Web page!

New Jetmoto 350

 

I know nothing about that site....Looks like a new dealer hyping old news to me...From what Ive heard they still havnt made a prototype in China yet...Its going to be a year since they started on it in early Sept...

 

Did some research and the actual displacement is 386cc's and the motor comes from the Yamaha Big Bear 400 sold in Europe. Don't know why they scrapped 6th gear though.

 

I highly doubt they will use a Yamaha motor on the real Jet 400 production. It may be a copy or close to. But the Chinese can make a good motor if they would use current technology instead of 20-30 year old designs like my Jets. Overhead cams would be a nice start!
Unless the economy picks back up real soon I again doubt this 400 will surface in 2009. I would say 2010 if at all!

 

I wondered what had happened to that little guy. To bad if it gets the permanent axe, it sounds like a decent machine. I would hate to see it disappear into obscurity like with Dinli and the Cannondales.

 

The engine is out of a Warrior..Well its a warrior engine made in China..Every aftermarket Warrior item we bought bolted to the engine The one we tested had a 6 speed...not a 5...It also didnt have a longer rod...it had a bigger piston than stock...This was the ATV I was sent to China to help develop about a year ago..Id say the economy has slowed it down a lot..
