Loncin RE250 6 speed

If the six speed transmission is inspired by Honda, there is simply an extra gear between 2-3 or 3-4 (can't recall which); it's not likely to be an overdrive gear. Think of it more like a close-ratio transmission that always allows you to be in the ideal gear for racing.

I can't figure out the design of this motor. The dipstick is in an odd position to be copied from Honda, yet the clutch arm is on the correct side. There is no visible bump for the countershaft, hinting that it's designed more like a KLR250. Hmm...

I suspect it would bolt in to any Honda-inspired China bike.
