skyrider Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 it does have a british look about it but I reckon it is indeed Chinese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Look how they've done the R in Crosby to look like a Triumph logo . There are quite a few of these pseudo Triumph retro lookalikes around and this is not the prettiest I've seen by far . If this is the "Scrambler" version I bet there's a street version and a café racer version as well . It's just an attempt to Anglicise a Chinese bike that I'm guessing may have actually been aimed at the Japanese market .

Tiggie Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 That's a South African import apparently. In Europe they are badged as a mash while in S.A they are called CrosbyCommissioned by a French company but yes made in China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Very nice looking bike though. Would be interesting to see what it looks like after a couple of years in this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snod Blatter Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I wholeheartedly approve of this message but I'd still have a CB400SS out of the lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Looks nice apart from the exhaust which looks like a total after thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithers Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 [mention]Joeman[/mention] and [mention]fastbob[/mention] I go along with your comments. The exhaust doesn't do the bike any favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Very nice looking bike though. Would be interesting to see what it looks like after a couple of years in this country If it is looked after and is not neglected in the cleaning regime it will still look fine.........the exhaust will still not look right though!
