Wow, looks like the perfect around town road bike to ride stock for a while and then use for a super fun cafe project - end up with a great size cafe bike with fuel injection!

I love the retro look ....

detours · 05-20-2016, 05:39 PM

Yeah, that's a good looking bike. Notice it has 2 pipes but just one cylinder? there's one on each valve and the length of each pipe is slightly different to give the exhaust a unique note.

I really want one of these. I hope I can swing it if it gets here.

This twin exhaust must be enabling the listed 29 hp , higher than its peers. Yet it's air cooled

I would expect the Genuine 400 to perform about like the current Yamaha SR400. The SR400 has good torque but won't quite do The Ton.

That looks like an outstanding retro bike. The performance chart that they posted also looks very favorable. The only thing that I would add though, is for about the same money, a person can get a Royal Enfield, which has more "classic credibility". With that said though, the Chinese bike will out run the Indian bike probably buy wide margin.

They look about the same power wise according to the chart. For my buck, the endfield...your crimson and chrome 500 is spectacular.

Very interesting new bike for us to consider when it becomes available in the US.

I wonder what happened with this? There were articles out there saying it was coming in July of 2017.

wheelbender6 · 07-31-2017, 08:14 PM

I was on ModernBuddy, THE Genuine motor co forum, this weekend and there is nothing new. I don't understand how the Hawk 250 can get EPA certified but the Genuine G400C continues to struggle with it.

What is the latest news on the G400C motorcycle? I was excited about it last fall, but haven't heard anything since.

MON 9:07AM

It is coming soon! We anticipate delivery in August or September.

AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER OF WHAT YEAR???????

Maybe 2040. That is the year when the UK and France plan to ban ICE engines.
