Cyclone and Morbidelli introduce new retro-style motorcycles

Chinese motorcycle manufacturers are expanding their presence in the European market with new retro-styled models. Cyclone has introduced the RT250E (also known as the RT3E), a 250 cc scooter designed as a vintage-style alternative to the Vespa GTS 310. The RT250E features a liquid-cooled single-cylinder DOHC engine producing 24.5 CV, dual-channel ABS, KYB suspension, and LED lighting.

Simultaneously, Morbidelli, under the ownership of the Chinese group Keeway, unveiled the Timeless 552 at the CIMA Motor exhibition. This retro-style motorcycle features a parallel twin-cylinder engine, likely 501 cc, capable of producing 52 CV, though it may be tuned to 48 CV for European A2 license compliance. The Timeless 552 is expected to arrive in Europe around 2027.
