1. HARAY HY300 – HONDA XRE300
The Brazilians are very familiar with the Honda XRE300. This is a dual-sport single-cylinder motorcycle, both designed and manufactured in Brazil. It is meant for urban riders, but it could be used for light trail work as well. Motorized infantry units of the Brazilian army also use the XRE300 as their vehicle of choice. A Chinese manufacturer believed it looked great and, of course, decided to make their clone. The HY300 is the result, which has a DOHC water-cooled engine. Unfortunately, it looks more like an aluminum swing-arm than a Honda’s air-cooled engine. Not a great effort here.
As you can see, cheap knock-offs, plagiarisms, clones, and copycats are not that great, especially performance wise. If you cannot afford an expensive bike, it is always better to downgrade to what you can afford than to buy a fake unreliable version that looks good.
