QJ SRC 500
Quick review
Design
Very appealing design
Two-tone paint and generous use of chrome
The paint quality is good
Niggling issues
Large gap between the foot peg and gear lever
Multitudes of wires, cables, hoses visible in plain sight
Brakes
Brakes are weak and spongy
Very little feedback available and stopping power is just about adequate.
Engine and performance
480cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled
25.5hp, 36Nm
0-60kph in 3.82s
0-100kph in 9.77s

Instrumentation
Well laid out and displays relevant data
Imperiale’s digi-analogue set-up would've suited the QJ’s retro character more
Ergonomics, ride quality
800mm seat height
Riding position is relaxed
Soft suspension tends to bottom out
Verdict
Torquey engine
Retro design is a visual treat
