ALL BSH says is that Honda's use Honda engine.

doesn't say if other manufacturer uses a rebaged honda engine or a cloned honda engine.


But bike manufacturers have been using other people's engines for the longest time, either a copy or built under license, so its not unusual.

Bajaj has been using a lot of smaller KTM engines, and the small Triumph 400s are built by Bajaj.
CFMOTO has been using 800 and 1250 KTM engines, some say the 450's are based on the yamaha CP2 design, and the 650 and 700s are kawazaki designs.
BMW using TVS and engines built by Loncin (as is the VOGE 900).
QJ has the old suzuki 650 vtwin
Morini uses kawazaki engines
Kove uses KTM engines

And that doesnt include bikes that share the entire platform. Like the CF 800s and some scooters.
