It´s got a DR-engine, but is no DR – this is a british CCM R30 and usually they took the double-carbed XF650 Freewind-engine (with larger valves also) for their bikes. DR-reliability combined with WP-suspension front and rear. http://www.google.at/imgres?q=ccm+r30&h ... 29,r:1,s:0

Edit: DAYYUUMMM!! again!! "57bhp at 7,000rpm, 41lb ft of torque at 6,800rpm"

Sorry, correct bike, wrong picture. They used Rotax-engines first and later installed the Suzuki-powerplant without changing much on the rest. The bike pictured is one of the Rotax ... Here´s more about the bike, this time with correct pics: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/biker ... 1-current/

Hi, I nearly bought one but I changed my mind after taling a closer look.
I have ridden both the r30 and the 644 motard bikes and to be honest they are not better than the DR!! The engine is weeker off the bottom stronger on top, beating the idea of a low reving thumper, and the handling is not on par with the suzukis especially if you have sorted out the suspension. Also the rear brake has a tendency in blocking up too easily. Build quality is poor with no quality control.
