In April of this year, ZXMOTO officially signed with its Hong Kong general distributor. Its flagship racing replica, the 820RR, began pre-orders at a price of HK$82,000 (approximately RMB 76,000), with a deposit of HK$20,000. The first batch has already sold out and is scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong in July, while the second batch is expected to arrive in August. The 500RR is priced at HK$59,800, also with a deposit of HK$20,000, and the first batch is expected to arrive in Hong Kong in July.
The news caused an uproar in Hong Kong's motorcycle community, as even after adding Hong Kong's 35% vehicle registration tax, the on-road price of this bike remains far lower than that of comparable imported models. For comparison, the Yamaha R9 is priced at over HK$150,000 in Hong Kong, and the Honda CBR650R costs more than HK$120,000.
According to official data from ZXMOTO, within 100 hours after the launch of the new 820RR and 500RR on March 21, confirmed orders exceeded 5,543 units. By March 31, nationwide confirmed orders for these two models alone had approached 10,000 units. A staff member at a Chongqing store revealed on April 1 that nationwide order numbers for the new ZX500RR had already surpassed 5,000, with deliveries expected by the end of May. For the flagship 820RR, the situation is even more severe—on April 5, multiple stores across the country reported that delivery lead times for the 820RR had been pushed back to July.
