The Chinese Motorcycle Boom Has Already Started

Chinese motorcycles are no longer a niche curiosity in the UK market. They’re already one in every eight new bikes sold, and the similarities to the rise of Japanese motorcycles in the 1960s are getting harder to ignore. In this video, we look at how brands like CFMoto, Voge and others are reshaping the motorcycle industry, why riders are still sceptical, and whether history might be repeating itself all over again. There was a time when Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki were dismissed as cheap, unreliable “Jap crap” too… before they went on to dominate the industry. Now Chinese manufacturers are winning comparison tests, building bikes for KTM and BMW, and rapidly growing across both the motorcycle and car industries. So are riders judging these bikes unfairly based on old reputations? Or are the concerns about reliability, dealer networks and resale still justified? Would you buy a Chinese motorcycle? And if not… what would it take to change your mind? 👇 Let me know in the comments.
