BMW

Over the recent Tomb Sweeping Day long weekend, I embarked on a shopping trip of the two-wheeled gas-fueled variety. My search took me to the motorcycle markets of Jiuxianqiao and to a bike rally in the suburb of Shunyi.

Tucked in behind the Lido area in Beijing’s north east is the neighborhood of Jiuxianqiao (酒仙桥). Recently, this sprawling suburb has seen filthy street markets torn down and hutong houses demolished to make way for a new subway line and the imposing, Indigo Mall. Jiuxianqiao encompasses the area between 798 and Dongfengqiao on 4^th Ring and is split in half by the Bahe River. This up-and-coming suburb is home to a large portion of Beijing’s motorcycle mechanics and shops and is one of the best places to mill around for your 2 or 3 wheeled vehicle of choice. The bikes for sale here are largely second hand and some really great finds can be discovered in piles of spare parts and rusty gas tanks.

For the more discerning bike-lover, you can find some artistic treats on these often beat up motorbikes and scooters.

Several of Beijing’s most prolific bike enthusiasts and motorcycle club members rode their Changjiang 750s out to Green T. House Living which hosted a bike and fashion show on Sunday. Changjiangs are the sidecar motorcycles, once produced for the Chinese military. They are based on the WWII German bike, the BMW R71 and are popular with Beijing’s expats. The bike rally included a BBQ, drinks and the odd combination of pained models in couture gowns and leather-clad bikers rocking out to CCR.

5 Top Chinese Motorcycle Manufacturers

Over 50% of the world’s motorcycles are being manufactured in China, and if you can’t see riders driving Chinese motorcycles in your neighbourhood yet, in a couple of years you will be.

Right now, the Chinese motorcycle industry can often seem like the wild-west of worldwide motorcycle production. Copies, fakes, low-quality products? Which brand to is the best?

Unfortunately, for the most part, Chinese motorcycle manufacturers aren’t very good at connecting with their customers. Communication channels can be hard to find, especially if you live outside China, which can make anyone’s buying decision harder to make.

When I bought my first Chinese motorcycle, I had the same anxiety and frustration. There just wasn’t enough information available to make an effective decision.

Brand and quality reputation are two of the most important considerations a buyer should take into account when buying a motorcycle. Hopefully list this will help others looking at buying a Chinese motorcycle to get an indication of which Chinese brands are more reliable than the others.

Here are 5 top Chinese motorcycle manufacturers

Lifan

Lifan KPR150 motorycle

Lifan started as a motorcycle repair shop in Chongqing in 1992 by former political dissident Yin Mingshan and 9 employees. The company has grown rapidly. In 2001, Lifan was the first Chinese motorcycle brand to be sold in Japan. In 2003 they started building buses and in 2005 they started to focus on automobile production. They have become the 3rd largest producer of motorcycles in China for 2012, producing just over 1.4 million units in 2012, and one of China’s top 500 companies.

Globally, Lifan is one of the more visible brands, preferring to brand the motorcycles with their own name and selling them to retailers, rather than branding for importers. They have expanded their production operations to countries such as Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.

As Lifan has a strong presence in the markets of developing countries, they have their sights set on entering the markets of developed nations.

Lifan have partnered with MV Agusta

In 2011, Lifan started a strategic partnership with MV Augusta, which seems to be a move which will allow Lifan to improve QC issues and start producing larger displacement motorcycle engines.

Lifan management acknowledges that their first foray into the North American market was handled poorly. The manufacturer plans to re-enter the “strategically important” US market in 2014 with on-road compliant motorcycles, mentioning that acquiring or merging with an American company “is an effective method [to] tap the US market further”.

They also sponsor the Chongqing-based soccer team “Chongqing Lifan”.

A Lifan motorcycle to watch is the KPR150 street motorcycle.

Loncin

Loncin’s LX650 motorcycle

Loncin was founded in 1993 in Chongqing. Loncin is the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for some of BMW’s engines (the engine for the G650GS for example).

Loncin was the second largest producer of motorcycles in China for 2012, making over 1.5 million units. The manufacturer is the largest exporter, exporting 45% of its production, including more than 35,000 BMW engines.

An up and coming motorcycle from Loncin is the Loncin CR9 (also known as the LX650), which uses the licensed G650GS engine, unveiled at the CIMA exhibition in October 2012.

For more information about Loncin and the motorcycles they make, visit the Loncin company profile page.

Zongshen

Zongshen RX3

Zuo Zongshen, once a “commoner” from a very modest background, is a well known name with Chongqing locals. Like Yin Mingshan of Lifan, Zuo started Zongshen as a motorcycle repair shop in 1992. Twenty years later, Zongshen Group produced over 1 million motorcycle units in 2012 and exports to over 70 countries. Zuo Zongshen is now one of the richest men in China.

The Zongshen Group has already set up factories in developing countries such as Thailand and Brazil, and is considering buying a developed motorcycle manufacturer in the United States in order to gain a strategic foothold before other Chinese manufacturers get the first mover advantage.

Like the other major motorcycle makers, Zongshen plans to make the production of higher value, larger displacement motorcycles a more prominent focus in their business strategy. It is currently in a number of strategic partnerships with international motor brands. Zongshen signed an agreement with Piaggio (2004), which has led to Zongshen producing a range of Piaggio products at their facilities. They have also signed a deal with Harley Davidson, offering their distribution and marketing network in China to help the American manufacturer gain a foothold in the Chinese market. There is also talk that Zongshen will enter the aviation industry as a manufacturer of private jets.

One motorcycle to look out for from Zongshen is the 250cc RX3 tourer, which takes design elements from the BMW 650GS and Suzuki V-Strom.

Jialing

Jialing X-Fire

Jialing is a the oldest motorcycle maker in China, based in Chongqing and owned by the state-owned body China South Industries Group. Established in 1875, Jialing began as a manufacturer of military hardware. This changed in 1975 with a pivot to producing civilian motorcycles and in 2012, Jialing produced almost 1 million motorcycles and exports its products to more than 90 countries

Jialing has been working with Honda since 1981, in the first international partnership signed by a Chinese motorcycle maker. Their 50/50 joint-venture has recently been solidified with the joint construction of a RMB 210 million (USD$35 million) new manufacturing plant in Chongqing which will add an additional production capacity of 900,000 units per year. They are keen to be seen as environmentally responsible, investing in ‘Green factory’ technology in their facilities (solar power, water recycling, reduced emissions) which is a nice touch.

Jialing is ahead of the trend towards production of larger displacement motorcycles. The JH600 range of motorcycles started mass production in 2007 and they have received a lot of market feedback.

Qingqi

Qingqi’s Grampus Scooter

Jinan Qingqi Motorycle Co. Ltd was originally started in the Shandong city of Ji’nan  in 1956 and is a state-owned subsidiary of the China South Industries Group Corporation and produced well over 300,000 motorcycles in 2012.

In 1985 Qingqi was the first company in China to produce scooters from a partnership with Suzuki. In China, the name “Qingqi” came to be synonymous with the word “Scooter”, like the “Vespa” in western countries.

Qingqi is OEM for a number of international companies, including Suzuki, Mercury Marine and Peugot (started in 2006).

A Qingqi scooter to watch for is the Qingqi QM250T Grampus. Watch the video of our Grampus test ride here.

The truth about Chinese motorcycle quality

One of the most frustrating statements that I regularly hear goes along the lines of “Chinese factories can’t make good quality products.” This as a standalone comment is utter nonsense, 
If we consider all the facts relating to Chinese technology some of the most important ones must be that China has a very successful space programme, second only to USA and Russia in the world. It was also the first country to run maglev (although originally developed in the UK) trains; the journey from Shanghai city to Pudong airport would make you a passenger on the fastest train in the world. In engineering you would be hard pushed to witness anything as incredible as the 3 gorges dam which is the biggest engineering project the world has ever seen and brings electricity to millions. What then of motorcycles?
Everyone is in agreement that Chinese motorcycles have increased in quality over the last few years but they will also agree that they don’t represent the very highest of levels of motorcycle technology, but this is not to say that they cannot!
At the last China Motorcycle Parts Fair (CMPF) I had a chat with a few of the exhibitors there over a cup of tea. One of the aspects of the conversation that interested me was that a big proportion of the most prestigious brands in the world are selling motorcycles with at least some of the parts made in China. Chen Long of the ZSC sprocket company admitted “one of our customers is a very well-known Italian motorcycle manufacturer; they have been dealing with us for many years and regularly send one of their technical staff to oversee their production requirements. This comment was echoed by many of the OEM representatives at the fair as they admitted that American, British, Japanese and European motorcycle marques utilised Chinese precision parts.
Loncin have been the OEM for some of BMW’s engines for a few years now. So successful is this partnership that BMW has employed Loncin to make whole units. 
Winston Guo made the announcement, “The Loncin Motorcycle factory signed a large displacement pedal motorcycles long-term entrustment for a manufacturing contract with Bavarian Motor Works (BMW) in Chongqing on March 12th, 2015. The signing of this contract realizes that the cooperation between both sides has evolved from producing large displacement engines to producing finished motorcycles, and it also signifies that the Chongqing-based large displacement high-end motorcycle manufacturing capacity has reached an advanced level in the world. The total output value of this project is expected to exceed 3 billion Yuan as the production capacity is estimated to reach 15000 units per year. The agreement mainly involved that Loncin Motor Co., Ltd would make 350 cc displacement water –cooled motorcycles (including finished motorcycles and engines) for BMW based on technical data provided by them, and large displacement motorcycles satisfying Europe Ⅳ standards which would be mainly used for urban leisure riding.”
One of the success stories of recent years has been the quality and value of ‘Kymco’ 2 wheelers. The Taiwanese company has been a thorn in the side to its Japanese competitors and is generally regarded for producing reliable motorcycles. One thing that may not be generally known is that some of Kymco’s models are made OEM in Chongqing. 
The Chinese motorcycle industry found its niche in the world market years ago and produced cheap 2 wheelers for developing countries. These products were exactly what were needed to get the population of developing countries automated, and sold in such volumes that Chinese manufacturers (at the time) didn’t think they would need to evolve in terms of quality. It was quite simply the case that Chinese manufacturers didn’t care about the US or European markets but that didn’t stop American and European importers spotting a fast buck and importing the basic quality models. This ‘first wave’ of Chinese motorcycles were met with such derision that China’s reputation for building sub-standard powered 2 wheelers maintained over a number of years although if looked at correctly it is obvious that they weren’t ready for those markets and that greedy importers overlooked many issues.
It is obvious now that many Chinese manufacturers can choose to produce motorcycles at any level of quality of the technological spectrum; it’s just that up until relatively recently it’s had no need to do anything but watch the money roll in from markets that haven’t needed or couldn’t afford top quality products. With the onset of bigger foreign distribution of Indian brands, China has found its monopoly in developing countries marginalised and has realised the need to develop new markets; certainly the American and European markets that it once treated with indifference. 2016 has been marked out as a pivotal year for the Chinese industry, with manufacturers struggling to ‘gear up’ for the law changes regarding EFI in many countries and anticipating the certain arrival of new ABS legislation. After going through the first (cheap and cheerful) and second (decent commuters) phases of motorcycle production the industry is now looking forward to its third phase in which it can boast quality and reliability to rival any country in the world.

 BMW HP4 - USA Specifications/Technical Details FOR DEALERS IN IMGES:-

 BMW HP4 - PRESS RELEASE:-
PURE PERFORMANCE -THE  HP4:-
Extreme lightness, impressive power and first-class handling are combined in the new HP4. Based on the RR, a purebred factory motorcycle has been developed - made of the very best materials, molded into top-class design. The first ever dynamic suspension system DDC sees its world premiere in this exceptional machine. And for even greater exclusivity there is the new HP4 with Competition Package option.
HP - short for High Performance - has always been BMW Motor rad's symbol of power, exclusivity and reduction to the essentials. The HP models are made of the very best materials, molded into top-class design.The new HP4 is the first interpretation of this philosophy in the form of a 4-cylinder model. The best BMW Motor rad engineers and designers have pursued their vision without compromise and the result is impressive: the new HP4 offers extreme lightness, top performance and first-class handling.
It is based on the RR - but its motor racing genes have turned it into a purebred factory motorcycle with high aspirations: it sets out to be the best motorcycle in the super sports segment, creating the same kind of stir as the RR before it.Whether race track or country road, the new HP4 meets the very highest demands. The lightest 4-cylinder engine (incl. ABS) in the segment offers an output of 142 kW (193 bhp) and a maximum torque of 112 Nm. The weight reduction provided by the all-titanium exhaust system is 4.5 kg; and the new silencer also ensures a higher level of torque in the medium range - for greater power in precisely those situations where it matters. Another 2.4 kg have been saved on the wheels - with the use of aluminium forged wheels for much more agile handling.The technology of the new HP4 is more than a nose ahead of its time. This is especially reflected in a world premiere: the dynamic suspension system DDC (DynamicDampingControl), an intelligent set-up function which adapts perfectly to any situation.For riders not content with race track performance alone, the HP4 has the Competition Package option to offer. This exclusive version of the HP4 features additional HP parts: HP brake lever, HP clutch lever, HP rider footrest system, closed HP Carbon engine spoiler, HP Carbon plate holder and HP Carbon fuel tank trim. With its forged wheels finished in blue and the sponsor sticker kit, it is an eye-catcher even from a distance.Because of its high-quality construction and involved manufacturing process, only a few of the HP4 and HP4 Competition can be made during the period of production up to 2014. Proof of this exclusivity is provided by the numbered fork bridge engraving complete with HP logo.

                                                                               BMW S 1000 RR Model Highlights

The new features of the 2012 BMW S 1000 RR at a glance:

• Optimized torque curve for improved rid ability.

• Expansion from two to three performance curves (one each for Rain and Sport modes and an additional one for Race and Slick modes); Rain mode now 120 kW (163 hp).
• Reconfigured throttle for enhanced response (particularly gentle and sensitive acceleration in Rain mode, and immediately direct and spontaneous response in Sport, Race, and Slick modes).
• Reduced twisting force and tighter twist grip angle.

• Smaller secondary ratio for boosted thrust.

• Refined tuning between Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC).

• Enlarged cross sectional area of the intake air guide through the steering head for greater air flow efficiency.
• Better handling, steering accuracy, and feedback.

• Revised spring elements for an even wider range of damping forces.

BMW S1000RR Features and Benefits
Drivetrain:-Just as before, the S 1000 RR sports the water cooled four cylinder inline engine of solely 59.8 kg delivering a top power output of 142 kW (193 hp) at 13,000 rpm and a top engine speed of 14,200 rpm. The max torque of 112 Nm is reached at 9750 rpm.
Reconfigured throttle for improved overall response.
The primary objective in this next level of development for the new RR was to target the power train for combining the outstanding engine power with even greater rid ability  To this end, the throttle was first reconfigured in engine control. To date, engine control consisted of four individual throttle curves for each of the Rain, Sport, Race, and Slick modes. For the new RR, these have been reduced to two: a characteristic curve for a particularly gentle and sensitive throttle in Rain mode, and a second for immediately direct and spontaneous response in the Sport, Race, and Slick modes. Following this measure, the rider now no longer needs to adjust to the constantly changing throttle characteristics when switching frequently between Sport, Race, and Slick modes. At the same time, this also served to optimist the load change behavior.
For particularly sensitive and fast regulation, the throttle valve now features a supporting spring with a low spring rate that reduces the actuating force. And the twisting angle is now considerably smaller on the new twistgrip throttle.
Optimized power and torque curves and lower secondary ratio.
The higher priority objective of the best possible rid ability also included the optimization of the power and torque curves.
Three new power curves have been defined: one each for the Rain and Sport modes and an additional one for the Race and Slick modes (in contrast to earlier, when there was one for the Rain mode and a second for the Sport, Race and Slick modes). With an eye to improving acceleration and thrust properties, we have reduced the secondary ratio from its former 17:44 to its present 17:45.
In Rain mode, the new S 1000 RR now delivers 120 kW (163 hp), or 8 kW (11 hp) more than previously. In Sport, Race, and Slick modes, the RR can still deliver a top power output of 142 kW (193 hp), but the power could be significantly raised especially in the lower speed range between 5000 and 7500 rpm. The result is essentially more linear and punchier engine characteristics.
Also the torque curves have been redefined for the purpose of improved rid ability  So the new RR now offers three different torque curves (previously two): one each for the Rain and Sport modes and an additional one for Race and Slick. All four modes benefit from the greater harmony and linearity of the torque curve. In addition, the new S 1000 RR delivers in all four modes a considerably greater torque in the 5000–7500 rpm range. And particularly in Rain mode, the RR offers considerably improved rid ability  Whereas the torque curve for the predecessor model virtually plateaued from 4500 rpm, the new engine now revs up more freely, and the curve rises to over 9000 rpm.
New combustion control in the overrun phase.
For uncompromising sporting characteristics with treadles treys on the racetrack, Slick mode has been reconfigured for enhanced performance. This involved a series of modifications to the characteristic map for overrun phase combustion that effectively eliminated permanent overrun fuel cutoff. Now, overrun phase combustion control converts braking torque and engine drag torque into an optimized retarding torque on the rear wheel. The result is even greater riding and directional stability during braking and turning.
Modified stainless steel exhaust system and optimized intake air guide.
The all stainless steel exhaust system on the S 1000 RR features a redesigned catalytic converter and front pipes. Fitted previously in the front pipes, the catalytic cartridges are now integrated in the front silencer. The interactions between the 20% larger cross section of the intake air guide in the steering head, the modified air box  the new bell mouth geometry, and modified engine application all served to increase the torque as described above. These modifications to the exhaust system now eliminate the need for the heat shield installed previously on the oil sump.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) with enhanced control performance.
When unveiled in 2009, the S 1000 RR was the first series super sports bike in the world to combine Race ABS with Dynamic
Traction Control (DTC). The fact that BMW Motor rad could implement these two technologies with such ease proved to be so convincing that nearly 100% of the vehicles leaving production are fitted with these two systems. Both systems have seen continued optimizations in the course of technical advances.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) is a rider assist system with a lean angle sensor that supports the rider and provides him with that extra safety on roads with compromised coefficients of friction. Following the laws of physics, it regulates the transferred drive torque, preventing the rear wheel from spinning in nearly all situations.
For the new RR, modifications have been made to reflect the new geometry, and wheelie detection has been optimized  When wheelie detection engages, the throttle valves now open much more gently. Moreover, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) has been optimized for greater riding and control performance in the Race and Slick modes.
The new DTC application is based on the BMW Race Power Kit for better transparency during highly sporty man oeuvres on the racetrack. The experienced rider can therefore achieve faster lap times.
Body and Design:-Highest dynamics, functionality, and unmistakably in design.
The lightness the new S 1000 RR conveys when running is also reflected in the look of greater dynamics presented by this highly dedicated sports bike.
Immediately conspicuous is the far leaner tail section. The center air box cover sports new side aperture grilles. The asymmetrical side panels so characteristic of the RR, with gills on the right and air outlet on the left, have experienced some discreet refinements in their design.
These are joined by the new air deflectors, the so called wiglets  These not only lend the new RR its look of greater dynamics, but also boost its aerodynamics by dissipating the wind pressure on hands and arms at high speeds
Colors:-New color concept for sporty dynamics.
The color concept for the S 1000 RR plays with the contrasts presented by the black bridge frame, the filigree wheels with glossy black paint, and the stubby rear silencer of stainless steel. The look of sporty dynamics is underscored by the two arm swinging fork with anodized or black cathodic dip coating. On all color variants, the red spring in the central strut provides an additional visual accent.
The new RR will be offered in four color variants. In the particularly sporty color combination of Racing red and Alpine white, the S 1000 RR exudes power and speed even when it is stationary, whereas Blue fire underscores the extravagance of the super sports bike. Sporty dynamics is borne up by Sapphire black metallic, and the BMW Motor rad Motorsport colors  which testifies to the direct relationship with BMW Motor rad Motorsport.
The distinctive RR logo has been slightly modified.

UP COMING BIKE OF BAJAJ PULSAR 350 IN INDIA:-

BAJAJ PULSAR 350 DESIGNING:-

The first look at the first of Pulsars had shocked many. None of us expected the design that
 Bajaj had come up with in the first batch of Pulsar, the Pulsar 150. Aiming the performance segment, Pulsar 150 was loaded with what was then called “sporty” looks. And it were not just the looks that were winning hearts, the comfort factor that Pulsars came gifted with lured riders to it immediately. The stylish bikini or the wolf-eyed headlamps, increased wheelbase, shapely fuel tanks, split seats, clip on handlebars, all black body, altogether made a feast for eyes. The colors awe the on-lookers, people go on calling Pulsars with all different names like, Emperor,

Road Smasher, Small Wonder. What more, this appearance came for pretty much affordable prices. Alloy wheels are a cherry on the cake.

Colors of Bajaj Pulsar 350 Engine & 

Performance:-

If it is a Pulsar, it has to be powerful. Oodles of it. The term “Pulsar” comes from the combination of “pulse” and “star,” which literally comes quite true when we think of performance given by Pulsar, pulsating and shooting star! Bajaj Pulsar 350s come with a technology that Bajaj takes pride in calling its own. The sophisticated technologies that Bajaj builts for its engines mark a new step. For example, there is DTS-i, which gives a complete combustion thus the maximum power without hampering the mileage output, thus increasing the mileage of the bike, also the emitted smoke is not as high polluting as it was earlier. Pulsar 135LS, Pulsar 150, 180, 200, 220, 220S, 200NS, all are DTS-i engines. There is this intelligent system, throttle responsive ignition control system, patented by Bajaj, which gives a bike a balance between torque and power. This yet again helps in improving fuel efficiency. Another Bajaj patented technology, Exhausted (TEC standing for Torque Expansion Chamber), helps in smart torque digits, also saves you from regular gear shifting since with ExhausTEC, the bikes easily carry on at higher gears and low speeds. The latest from Bajaj's stable, Pulsar 200 NS, comes with tri-spark technology.

Mileage for every variant differs as per other specs, but Bajaj  takes care to give the best of all to its Pulsar range of bikes. Pulsar 220 is supposed to give 38 kmpl while riding in city traffic, while giving 47 kmpl on a highway. A 200 NS would return you a mileage of 35-43 kmpl. Pulsar 150 can give you a mileage of 56.5 kmpl on the busy roads and 65 kmpl on highways. Thus, averaging around 55 kmpl. Overall, one confidently can once claim that Bajaj brings a satisfaction to its consumers as far as mileage is considered. Also can one rest assured on the acceleration and pickup front. Variants of 135 cc, 180 cc, 200 cc and 220 cc have much more powerful engines than others, resulting in better engine performance and acceleration.   Depending on engines, Bajaj Pulsar 350s offer pretty high acceleration too, like a 135 cc Pulsar would be flying  at a speed of 60 kmph in around 5.8 seconds maintaining a speed of 106.8 kmph; Pulsar 150 would take you to to 60 kmph in a mere 5.6 seconds, and would run highest at 11 kmph; Pulsar 180 cc would cross 60 kmph in 5.08 seconds and maintain its top speed at 115 kmph; Pulsar 220, DTS-i engined, is strong enough to carry you across at a speed of 60 kmph in a mere 3.7 seconds and the maximum speed being 118.7 kmph.

Bajaj Pulsar 350 Braking & Handling:-

Superb is one word to describe braking and handling in Bajaj Pulsar 350 bikes. Most of the Pulsars come with ventilated disc brakes at both the front and the rear, which comes as a great help during an emergency braking requirement. Bajaj Pulsar 350 bikes are the most loved because of the comfort and safety offered. The upgraded technologies that Bajaj comes up with for all the Pulsar bikes, thus providing the easiest and most comfortable handling, and a feel of relaxation when it comes to control over the bike. When a Pulsar is running on the rough Indian roads, the advanced suspension system helps, which simply reduces the jumps and minimizes jerks that would otherwise be felt on the lower arms, thus improving the handling and giving a better sense of control on any kind of road. Another safety feature are the large disc brakes, offered both at the front and rear. This feature of large disc brakes helps you stop your ride right when you need, sudden or well planned. Alloy wheel, pretty light in weight, makes the rider feel grounded with a measurement of 90/90 X 17 at the front and 100/90 X 17 at the rear end. Pretty out of the context under the head of braking and handling, I would like to mention the placing of switches. The placement of switches are such that the rider would not feel their eyes distracted from the road while accessing these switches.
