According to the leaked images, the QJ7000D will sport a full TFT display, as well as LED lighting, an upside-down fork for the front, and a rear monoshock for the back.

The machine will also ride on a nice set of alloy wheels, with a pair of disc brakes and a nifty new feature – the ability to store the helmet in the hump of what has always traditionally been the bike’s gas tank.
