  • Kawasaki Ninja 300 Clone: Kengo R350

    In the past few years we have seen Chinese copy of almost everything, be it a smart phone, motorcycle or premium luxury cars and we all know that when it comes to imitating things, there are few Chinese firms which take it quite seriously.

    In the recently appeared images, we came across with Chinese version of Kawasaki Ninja 300 named as Kengo R350. The motorcycle was released in China last year and it mimics the Japanese motorcycle entirely. From the bodywork to head lamp, tail lamp, rear view mirrors and even the exhaust looks similar to the Ninja 300. Though on observing closely, we noticed that the Kengo 350 is equipped with double disc brake up front in comparison to Ninja 300 single disc brake and the design of the allow wheels was also different from what Ninja 300 has.

    In terms of power the Kengo 350 is powered by a 320.7 cc, twin cylinder water cooled engine which churns out 23 BHP of power at 8,500 rpm and 25 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm which is far lesser than the Ninja 300’s 39 BHP.

    In the other set of news, images of Yamaha YZF-R3 cheap Chinese imitations also went viral on the internet just like the Kawasaki Ninja 300 replica.

    The XGJ350 named motorcycle sports the exact same body work as the YZF-R3 with the double exhaust being the only visual on the bike through which one can realize that it’s a different motorcycle. On observing closely, we found that the projector LED head lamps and decal is also different.

    Shameless copy pasting. These can't even be called 'inspirations', plain simple replicas. And not only cars, motorbikes, phones, even fighter planes(check their J-17 and chengdus) so this practice of copying is practiced even by the government. I find this absolutely pathetic.

            Coz u cannot contest a patent, design, copy Rights, or any such things in China. That's thier rule. They don't accept any patent or copyright laws of other nations. Hence companies and individuals are helpless.

              And as such Chinese manufacturing model is largely 'design to print' type.. I.E no R&D, just produce from a design which is readily available. Eg.. They'll buy a few ninjas as in case above, deconstruct it, and simply use backwards engineering to get the design, do some bit of protos then straight production.

                  I think it's good that China copies other countries products, Neem and Radio Waves are Indian property, but the American copyrighted them first and stole it from India , I'm happy that China is doing so, it should just stick with the West only and leave the other Asian countries.

                    I am still trying to close my mouth. I still can't believe it even though I have personal experience with how clever the Chinese are at reverse engineering.

                    Will be interesting to know what sort of performance figures they are claiming.

                            Nope. That is not exactly true. There are various international frameworks such as the Patent Cooperation Treaty and bodies such as the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) which administers as many as 20 international agreements in the domain of intellectual property. China is a part of these frameworks and administration bodies (as is India).

                            If a country is an signatory to these frameworks then the government of that country is obligated to adhere to the terms and conditions of those frameworks. Failure to do so can lead to punitive actions such as extra duties/taxes on goods & services making products from that country uncompetitive and at a disadvantage in the world markets. The subject is vast and requires in-depth knowledge. However, it is suffice to say that even if you do not have patents, design registrations and copy rights in a said country, your products are protected under these frameworks by virtue of you being the creator and holder of the Patents, D.R.s & C.R.s in your own country (since both countries are signatories of these frameworks). You also have the right to challenge any infringement in a court of law in the said country as well as your own country.

                              Copying plastic bodywork etc. is fine but what I don't understand is that they have taken the trouble of *supposedly* putting in a 320 cc twin cylinder engine with a power output close to that of a 250cc single. Rather shoddy performance figures IF this is indeed a 320 twin.

                              I am thinking they may have put in twin headers for show and inside one may find a 250cc single. The target audience is probably not going to complain anyway.
