Tata motors now own Land Rover and Jaguar - and they have never been better. China is just as good - putting out great luxury EVs under Chinese brands - at great value. Many western and Japanese brands produce both cars and motorcycles in China, including Tesla. Further still, cell phones and other hight tech - all comes out of China, under both western and Chinese brands. So, one should not be surpriced if this bike is the real deal - and that you will be able to get one for close to nothing.
I feel that I want one allready.

I don't mean to be a dick, but I just completely disagree with what you wrote here.
The KTM 390 Adventure is a known lemon, few engines have had as many problems as the 390 platform built in India.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan is known for oil leaks, burning oil after just 20km/km. Wheel bearings usually needs to be replaced every 10k/km.
The quality of Land Rover and Jaguar has never been good, but it in 2021 Land Rover is actually the lest reliable car brand in the world. Jaguar is the 3rd worst.

As for the Chinese bike. It will be a hard pass for for me, even tho is does have dreamy specs.
