• Suspension by Marzocchi, brakes by Brembo, tires by Pirelli, plus ABS, traction control, and quickshifter
• Price in Germany: 10,999 euros (approximately 11,900 US dollars), Euro 5+ compliant

QJMotor is expanding its sport lineup upward. With the SRK 800 RC, the Chinese manufacturer introduces a production model that is significantly more powerful than the existing SRK 800 RR and draws its technical blueprint directly from the Supersport World Championship racing machine. The inline-four produces 125 hp, the chassis features components from brand partners Marzocchi, Brembo, and Pirelli, and the price of 10,999 euros (approximately 11,900 US dollars) sits noticeably below that of established Japanese supersport machines. The SRK 800 RC is Euro 5+ compliant and also available in Germany.

What Is the QJMotor SRK 800 RC?

The SRK 800 RC is the new supersport flagship of QJMotor’s 800 series and is derived directly from the SRK 800 RS racing machine that the brand campaigns in the Supersport World Championship. Until now, the lineup was primarily represented by the SRK 800 RR, which despite its double-R designation produces only around 95 hp and is positioned as a moderately sporty middleweight competitor against models like the Honda CBR 650 R or the Triumph Daytona 660. Rather than stopping at that baseline, QJMotor now moves into the full-fledged supersport class with the RC. The production model is Euro 5+ compliant and available in the German-speaking market through the importer KSR Group.

How Much Power Does the QJMotor SRK 800 RC Make?

The inline-four of the SRK 800 RC produces up to 125 hp (92 kW) at 12,000 rpm and delivers 78 Nm (approximately 57.5 lb-ft) of peak torque. The engine displaces 778 cc, features 16 valves, dual overhead camshafts, and liquid cooling. Power is transmitted through a six-speed gearbox with chain drive that comes standard with a bi-directional quickshifter for clutchless shifting. The manufacturer states a top speed of 215 km/h.

What Suspension and Brakes Does QJMotor Use?

The bridge frame and rear swingarm of the SRK 800 RC are made of aluminum, as has long been standard in the supersport class. The upside-down telescopic fork and rear shock come from QJ partner Marzocchi and are adjustable, with a steering damper also fitted for added stability. Braking is handled by Brembo disc brakes with ABS, while Pirelli supplies the tires in 120/70 R17 front and 180/55 R17 rear sizes. Tire pressure can be monitored via a readout on the display.

What Electronics and Equipment Does the SRK 800 RC Offer?

The SRK 800 RC comes equipped with three riding modes for Normal, Rain, and Sport, a traction control system, ABS, and a 5-inch TFT display. The display shows tire pressure readings among other information. According to the manufacturer, the aerodynamics package was developed in a wind tunnel and refined on the racetrack, while the graphics design incorporates elements from the brand’s World Championship racing efforts. The riding position is also designed for sporty riding.

How Big and Heavy Is the QJMotor SRK 800 RC?

The SRK 800 RC measures 2,085 mm in length, 800 mm in width, and 1,215 mm in height, with a seat height of 850 mm. Wet and with a full tank, it weighs 205 kg (approximately 452 lbs) according to the manufacturer, and the tank holds 16 liters. This means the RC carries a few extra kilograms compared to the supersport competition, but in return offers somewhat more displacement and power.

How Much Does the QJMotor SRK 800 RC Cost?

The QJMotor SRK 800 RC costs 10,999 euros (approximately 11,900 US dollars) in Germany, including 19 percent VAT and manufacturer surcharges, and is offered in the color red. Direct competitors include the Honda CBR 600 RR with 121 hp (89 kW) and 193 kg (approximately 425 lbs) as well as the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R with 124 hp (91 kW) and 198 kg (approximately 437 lbs), both of which are currently priced above 13,000 euros (approximately 14,000 US dollars). This means the Chinese model significantly undercuts the Japanese four-cylinders. For those who prefer something a step below, the SRK 800 RR remains available at 8,399 euros (approximately 9,100 US dollars). With the RC, QJMotor continues its ascent into higher performance classes, adding the model to the growing number of Chinese sport motorcycles that are increasingly pushing into segments previously dominated by Japanese manufacturers.
