Chinese bikes are more often than not clones of popular international models and consequently, dissed for being so. However, in a sea of clones, there are some welcome surprises that are not only capable but can even take on popular international models.

One such Chinese motorcycle is the Jedi Motor FR750, a neo-retro naked laden with high-spec components and features making it capable enough to dethrone the popular Yamaha XSR700. Don’t believe us? Then, read on and see for yourself.

Jedi Motor FR750 - Design & Features

As we mentioned above, the Jedi FR750 is not a doppelganger and has a rather unique design. Up top, the bike features a squarish headlight accompanied by a chunky headlight nacelle and a tinted windscreen.

The muscular appeal trickles to the mid-section too, where you get prominent radiator shrouds and a hunky fuel tank (with an 18-liter capacity). The latter is also home to the LED indicators, an unconventional but likable position. Finally, the design comes together via the tail section that has a flat-tracker vibe to it. This is the only thing that looks out of place on the entire bike if you ask us.

To complement the likable design, Jedi has equipped the FR750 with a color LCD instrument cluster (loaded with all necessary info), keyless ignition, adjustable levers, all-LED lights, and dual-channel ABS. All this puts it one step ahead of the XSR700.

Jedi Motor FR750 - Engine & Underpinnings

But is it all show and no go? Well, no. You see, the FR750 employs a 730cc, twin-cylinder engine pumping out 80 horsepower and 67Nm, 8 horsepower more than the XSR700. According to the company, this is enough for a respectable top speed of 218kmph.

Like the engine, the FR750 also impresses in terms of underpinnings as it boasts a perimeter chassis sprung on KYB USD forks and a monoshock. Meanwhile, braking hardware comprises twin discs up front clamped by Brembo calipers and the 17-inch alloys come with Pirelli Angel GT rubber for utmost grip.

Jedi Motor FR750 - What’s The Price?

The Jedi FR750 retails at 43,800 Yuan in its hometown, corresponding to $6,530. At this price, it’s over $2,200 more affordable than the Yamaha XSR700 which makes it a good proposition. Sadly, though, the chances of it setting foot in America are rather slim, so looks like you will have to stick with the XSR.

Nevertheless, there’s no denying that this is a capable Chinese product packed with likable features and components and, as fun as showcasing doppelgangers is, we should give credit where it’s due.
