I am from Chengdu, Sichuan. I want to buy a motorcycle with a power of about 7 to 8w for traveling. Could you please give me some advice?

I am also from Chengdu, and now I ride an Excelle 500x. There are actually many choices for less than 100,000 yuan. Let me talk about some of my experiences.

1. Friends of middle-aged and elderly people, big pedal. Take the Gwangyang Rowing 400, for example. If you consider long-distance safety, you can also add some budget and buy a Piaggio or Pegasus three-wheeler. Of course, Taiwan's Hongjiateng's Quadro3 and Quadro4, and Yamaha's new car Niken, these cars can run freely without crashing or reversing. Safety is more important than anything else. By the way, many middle-aged and elderly people ride motorcycles now. For example, Yangtze 750 and Yingang 300 are very good, with heavy load, stable body and no crash.

2. For heavy-duty rally vehicles, you can consider Dongfeng 650mt, Dongfeng 650GT, Benelli 502X, Excelle 500x, Honda CB500x, and Huanglong Cruise 600. For medium-sized ones, you can consider Suzuki GW250, Suzuki DL250, and Benelli 251x. What is the use of displacement will be discussed later.

3. ABS is a must! ABS is a must! ABS is a must! Cars without ABS are fatal. The road conditions in China are complex. Motorcycles are not allowed on the highways in most provinces. Monsters and ghosts appear on the national highways every minute and spend the rest of their lives. ABS tires will not lock up easily. However, in places where there are many gravel roads, fine sand roads (especially in Xinjiang and parts of Inner Mongolia), snowy roads (Tibet and Northeast China), and dark ice roads, even with ABS, the advantages of reverse three-wheel driving are prominent.

4. When traveling on motorcycles, don’t choose a carburetor-type vehicle, but an EFI vehicle. Motorcycle tours inevitably go to plateaus, reaching an altitude of 2,700 meters. Due to insufficient oxygen supply to the carburetor, power attenuation is extremely serious. This problem does not exist with EFI vehicles. For example, my Excelle can easily hit 130 at 4,500 meters.

5. For long-distance motorcycle tours, the design of the riding triangle is particularly important. The width of the seat is soft and hard, the height of the shoulders, and the waist force must be very comfortable. Otherwise, riding for more than 2 hours will be extremely painful and the whole body will be exhausted. It hurts. At the same time, a windshield must be provided, but not too large, otherwise it will have serious side effects.

6. The vehicle should have a good reputation and be durable. We strongly recommend Suzuki GW250, Honda CB500x, and Honda CB190. They are very reliable, easy to maintain and repair, and have a low repair rate.

7. In northwest Sichuan, northwest Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, and central and western Tibet, the importance of displacement can be reflected. Most of the roads in these places are flat and have no slopes. It’s a curve, there are fewer cars and fewer people, so you can run a little faster. The top speed of 250cc is 110-120km/h, the top speed of 500cc is 150-160km/h, the top speed of 1200cc is 190km/h, and the 1800cc breaking through 210 is not a big problem. I was once beaten by the Golden Wing Racing Team on the grassland, and I couldn't catch it at all. There was a huge shadow in my heart. Of course, if the elderly do not ride fast bikes, the golden displacement of motorcycles is 250cc, which is enough.

8. When buying a car, you must avoid certain models. Don’t be greedy for cheap, which will cause endless troubles. Avoid cars with a high repair rate, such as the Will-O-Wisp Horizon, Murray 500x, Benelli TRK502, Dongfeng 250/400/650

Honda CB500X

Choose Honda CB500X. It is durable and worry-free, fuel-efficient and has a long cruising range. The sitting position is comfortable and the power meets the needs. It can also be recommended by 92 riders to recommend the motorcycle.

Please don’t be offended if you come uninvited.

Let me take the starting price of around RMB 80,000 as an example.

The lowest configuration of the Harvard M6 is manual, with a guide price of RMB 6.6. The full price is RMB 80,000. I doubt its stability. Although there was an oil leakage problem, it disappeared after the price was reduced and updated. Advantages: Large space, front and rear independent suspension with 1.5t of power, high configuration, esp keyless entry, keyless start, etc., thick chassis and high safety. Disadvantages: heavy weight, high fuel consumption, old engine, late turbine intervention, poor early power, now improved in 2019. It's noisy, so I need to install some soundproofing cotton myself. The interior is the ugliest in its class made in China, so be mentally prepared.

Chery Tiggo 5x with manual mid-range configuration has a guide price of about 68,000, and can be discounted by about 4,000, making the full price about 80,000. There is no doubt about the three major parts of Chery. The engine, gearbox and chassis are still used for a long time and are stable and reliable. Advantages: Good performance in compact space, normal fuel consumption, good but small trunk, small Tiggo Eight appearance, decent and solemn interior, conscientious configuration, tire pressure monitoring ESP keyless entry and start are equipped, engine tuning and low torque are okay , all the shortcomings are obvious. The first is independent front suspension and rear panel suspension. The comfort is greatly reduced. The 1.5 naturally aspirated car lacks power in the later period. The number of copies is not as large as that of Harvard M6, and the sales volume is average. It's still fine for home use, but it's almost boring to pursue driving pleasure.

The lowest configuration guide price of Changan 35ps is 6.99. Nowadays, it is not a big problem to get a price of about 80,000 yuan per National Five. Changan Blue Whale engine, five-speed gearbox, chassis, Changan and Chery, there is no doubt that it is still OK after many years. Advantages: The appearance is stunning, and it has an off-road and square feel. The power of the 1.6 is basically enough, the small SUV is on the large side, the seating space is basically enough, but the trunk is not good, it is on the small side.

It is equipped with conscience esp as standard equipment in all series. Apart from keyless entry and start, uphill assist is also equipped with conscience. The workmanship of the interior and exterior is very good, whether it is splicing or seams, it is comfortable to look at. , I like it a lot just because of its appearance. The disadvantage is that the adjustment is more for home use, the power is relatively linear, and the explosion is not enough. The rear suspension is on the small side. If you can accept the price going up to RMB 10,000 to RMB 20,000, you can choose the Aisin 6-speed automatic, and it has a large number of customers.

The guide price of JAC Refine S4 with manual mid-range configuration is 7.1. It’s not a big problem to cut it down to about 5,000. Yes, you heard it right, it’s JAC. JAC’s performance is too average, but Refine S4 is still good. After all, it is made according to public standards. The cars, workmanship and suppliers are much better than what JAC did before. The three major components are average and stable, and the chassis is average. Advantages: Volkswagen's first-line production, good craftsmanship, the size is too large for a small SUV, the appearance is just about the same as that of JAC, the configuration is conscientious, and it has all the commonly used ones. The interior is suitable for home use and will not drop in price when going out to pick up friends. The disadvantages are that the three major components are average, the fuel consumption is average, the JAC is average, and the inventory is average. careful.

BYD Song manual has a minimum guide price of 7.9, but it doesn’t sell well and there are many discounts of around 10,000. It takes a little more than 80,000 to get it. The standard of the three major parts is reliable, the appearance is indeed good-looking, and there is also a square Song, which has a strong Chinese style. Advantages: good-looking, well-equipped, commonly used, compact level, large space, good interior workmanship, and power 1.5t is enough for home use. Disadvantages: high fuel consumption, small retention capacity, and occasional minor problems if unlucky.

The magic car Baojun 510, the manual version is enough for RMB 80,000, the universal L2B and 6-speed manual, Wuling can buy them all, no need to give up, the three major parts are indeed good, fuel-efficient and stable. Advantages: Three major parts that are stable and reliable. Don’t mind it. It’s just a stunning exterior design. It’s a normal interior. Of course, the workmanship is a bit subpar. The configuration is extremely high. If you want to experience the configuration, it can satisfy you. It has a large inventory. h6 Four or five models combined have all been beaten by it. The disadvantage is obviously that there are a lot of minor problems, and it occasionally makes noise. You need to get used to the noise. But the problem is not big. Now it has been improved and it is worth buying. There are many others so I won’t mention them one by one.

I don’t recommend that you buy a domestic brand, which will cause a lot of trouble in a few years.

It’s better to buy an imported model.

I recommend the Kawasaki 650 Vulcan, whether it is Both appearance and power can meet your requirements, especially Kawasaki's reliability so you can have peace of mind all the way. It is a cost-effective motorcycle with a price of about 80,000. I wish your dream will come true soon.

I just want to answer you, Chengdu people will never talk about motorcycles! ! ! This is said in a roundabout way! Just talk about motorcycles!

The Kawasaki x300 is priced at about 52,000 yuan, and the protective bars, saddlebags and other modifications are about 8,000 yuan. The remaining price is to buy better equipment

70,000-80,000 yuan is embarrassing. I am a long-distance motorcycle travel enthusiast. Long-distance motorcycle trip

Alien 650, the little Vulcan. Honda 500x is fine. I only recommend the Guobin 650 made in China. Then the second-hand 2017/2018 BMW f700 is about the same price and is worth recommending.

Honda cb500x
