Shineray V1200 V-twin: Chinese Manufacturer's Air-Cooled Lookalike
Chinese Manufacturer Unveils Air-Cooled Motor
The Shineray V1200 V-twin, the latest air-cooled motor from the Chinese manufacturer, has sparked attention for its striking resemblance to another iconic engine.
Uncanny Resemblance to Harley-Davidson V-twin
The Shineray V1200's design bears a remarkable similarity to the Harley-Davidson V-twin. Both engines feature a 60-degree V-twin configuration, chrome-plated cylinders, and a prominent intake manifold. The overall aesthetic and proportions of the two motors are nearly indistinguishable.
While Shineray has not explicitly acknowledged the inspiration behind the V1200's design, the resemblance to Harley-Davidson's iconic engine has raised questions about potential patent or trademark infringement.
