The Chinese Benda LFC700 Motor Group, which previously mainly built smaller motorcycles, cargo tricycles or 50cc scooters, presented their upcoming power cruiser at the CIMA.
The first patent images of the LFC 700 appeared in July 2020. Even then, the optical relationship to the Ducati Diavel was recognized.
Performance data and a great look
Propulsion is provided by a 680cc inline four-cylinder that develops 97 hp at 12,000 rpm. The power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox and chain. This stands out visually. 310/35 18 inches is specified for the size, making it wider than most cars. At the front, the tire size is 130/70 19 inches. The weight is given as 215 kg. The seat height is quite low at 695 mm.

Another visual highlight is the under-engine exhaust. The exhaust gases are discharged through four square tailpipes, which are located directly in front of the rear wheel. The LED headlight has a special design and is reminiscent of a turbine.
The handlebar is very wide. A TFT display sits in the middle. The front is dampened by an upside-down fork. Braking is done with a double disc system and radially attached brake calipers.
It is still unclear whether the model will make it to the American or European market.
