BMW Motorrad.
In 2005, Loncin entered into an agreement to make G650GS motorcycle engines for German-based BMW Motorrad. The partnership began in 2007 and Loncin has produced motorcycle parts, engine components, and over 35,000 complete engines for BMW. Significant and technical benefits came for Loncin, in which they used the same engine to power the LX650 (also known as the CR9). This model is available only in markets specified by BMW under the agreement.
In 2017, BMW Motorrad introduced the F850GS and F750GS to succeed both the F800GS and F700GS respectively. While the outgoing models previously used Rotax 799cc engines, the F850GS and F750GS models now come equipped with slightly more powerful 853cc engines made by Loncin. Additionally, the C400X and C400GT scooters also roll off production lines at Loncin.
Environmental scandal.
In 2012, the US EPA settled with members of the Loncin family which were found to have imported 7,115 vehicles that violated the Clean Air Act, by submitting false and incomplete certification. 
Longxin Motorcycle Industry Co., Ltd was ordered to pay a USD $680,000 penalty, and to support an air pollution mitigation project for their 7,115 vehicles' excess emissions.
