Ducati Desert X
In December 2021, the Italian brand Ducati officially released the DesertX model, which is Ducati's latest Adventure model, and its design is inspired by the 80s and 90s Dakar model Cagiva Elefant 900ie. The DesertX features Ducati's newly developed frame and the same 937cc Testastretta 11° water-cooled L-twin engine as the Lantu V2.
Ducati Desert X will be officially launched in April of recent years, and domestic Ducati officials are expected to introduce domestic sales as soon as possible.
Augusta-F4
Augusta has a brand that can be called the artist of the motorcycle industry, and the supercars under the brand have always been regarded as treasures by countless riders. Augusta's F4 model was not updated again since the release of the limited edition F4 Claudio Castiglioni Edition in 2018.
However, in June 2021, Augusta officially released the brand's 75th anniversary film "You See a Bike" on the Internet platform, and from the conversation of an Argentine designer in the video, it was concluded that he had been commissioned to design a new generation of F4, which also officially revealed the explosive news that the brand's classic model F4 will be officially revived.
Triumph-Speed Triple 1200 RR
Triumph's Speed Triple 1200 RR is not the sharp modern styling style commonly used in modern sports cars today, but combines British classical retro with extreme performance, with a new style that is very suitable for the tonality of the Triumph brand.
The retro-shaped front fairing is paired with classic large round lights, and the split handle of the car is lowered by 12.7cm and extended forward by 5cm, making the whole sitting position more combative. In terms of price, the overseas price of new cars starts at USD 20,950, which is $2,450 higher than the RS model.
KTM-1290 Super Duke R EVO
Originally due to its powerful performance and violent output characteristics, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R was ridiculed by netizens as a "novice deceased". KTM has released the EVO version of the model on the basis of the original car, and it is estimated that the manufacturers who dare to play like this are only KTM.
The KTM-1290 Super Duke R EVO is dominated by orange and silver, with a sharp kendo front face, a towering fuel tank and black accents. The LC8 1301cc V-twin engine has a maximum horsepower of 180PS/9500rpm and a maximum torque of 140Nm/8000rpm. I want to limit the original R version to 500 vehicles when it was released, and the latest EVO version is also a good choice for riders who did not buy the R version of the model.

Yamaha - 2022 XSR900
In November 2021, Yamaha officially released the 2022 new XSR900, which has great changes in appearance, frame, power, and configuration. And the appearance, control, performance is still the selling point of XSR900. The new XSR900 adopts the same 3.5-inch TFT full-color LCD instrument as the MT-09, and with YCC-T electronic throttle, 6-axis IMU to achieve more electronic control, including 4 riding modes, cruise control, TCS traction control, LIF anti-warp control system, SCS sliding control system, BC brake control system, QSS two-way quick row, sliding clutch and other electronic control configurations.
The 2022 XSR900 currently offers two body colors, Legend Blue and Midnight Black. According to yamaha's introduction rate in the domestic market, these two cars will also be introduced for domestic sales this year.
Honda-NT1100
In October 2021, Honda's new luxury RV sports car, the NT1100, was officially released, with a standard version priced at 13,999 euros (about 105,000 yuan) and a DCT version priced at 14,999 euros (about 112,000 yuan). The NT1100 is a sport station wagon based on the Africa Twin engine and gearbox.
The NT1100's 1084cc engine has data parameters of 101 hp and a maximum torque of 104 Nm, and the NT1100 standard version is equipped with a manual transmission with a wet weight of 238 kg. The NT1100 DCT version uses Honda's DCT semi-automatic transmission, and the vehicle has a wet weight of 248 kg. In addition, the 20L fuel tank volume is expected to have an endurance of about 400km.
Suzuki- GSX-R1000
2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Suzuki GSX-R1000 model, and in September Suzuki officially launched the three versions of the 2022 GSX-R 1000 in the United States. The GSX-R1000 Standard Edition is priced at $15,849 (about 102,000 RMB), the GSX-R1000 R High Edition is officially priced at $17,899 and the Suzuki Centennial Edition is officially priced at $17,999 (approximately RMB115,900).
The 2022 GSX-R1000 is powered by a 999.8cc variable valve timing in-line four-cylinder engine with a maximum horsepower of 202.6 and a maximum torque of 118 Nm. However, here I have to complain that Suzuki's domestic model introduction and sales rhythm is the slowest pace among Japanese motorcycle brands, resulting in the domestic riders of this model are expected to continue to look at it from a distance, which is really a pity.

Gold GK500 Climbing Edition
The GK500 climbing version has been in the recent domestic announcement catalog, compared with the GK500 coffee version and the crossing version, the climbing version has changed in length, width and height.

Spring Breeze SR-C21
After the official debut of the 2021 CFMOTO Cycling Academy Spring Wind SR-C21 concept car, the domestic mid-range sports car finally has a model that can be played, which instantly triggered a heated discussion among domestic riders. The design of the front and tail lights of the new car is very strong, especially the "small wings" on both sides of the front of the car, which is more aggressive and combative.
The Chunfeng SR-C21 is equipped with Brembo top calipers, Ohlins suspension, single rocker arm, SC-Project exhaust, aerodynamic fixed wind wing and more. In terms of power, due to the relationship between Chunfeng Motorcycle and KTM, it is expected that the engine may be an in-line twin-cylinder structure of the KTM790. According to the current understanding, the commercial version of the Chunfeng SR-C21 will be available for sale in the first half of this year. There is no doubt that this car is also the most noteworthy model of this year's domestic motorcycle imitation racing model.
Infinity 350AC
Loncin Wuji retro motorcycle car, there are already 200AC, 300AC and 500AC three different displacement segment models, and the emergence of 350AC, further enriched the level of non-polar retro car. This pioneering retro sports locomotive designed for young people adopts a new two-cylinder high-speed engine and has a FAMILY ELEMENT DESIGN STYLE OF THE MOVIE AC series, attracting many new generations of Moyou with its outstanding appearance and strong strength.
The frame, exhaust, fuel tank, wheel hub, pedals, and license plate frame of the Wuji 350AC have been redesigned compared with the 300AC, and the appearance of the whole vehicle has become higher. The 321cc twin-cylinder engine equipped with the Wuji 350AC has a maximum power of 31kW/10500rpm and a maximum torque of 30N·m/9000rpm; coupled with the 159KG of the vehicle's curb weight, it is believed that the acceleration performance of the new car will be considerable.

Shengshi GK350 is positioned as a high-tech retro motorcycle, with a total of 3 kinds of body coloring and painting options. In terms of exterior design, the overall style of this car is not simply traditional retro, adding a large number of modern elements, showing a strong sense of technology in detail, while also taking into account a good sports style.

At present, although the Shengshi 350GK has been announced at the end of last year, it is priced at 22,800 yuan.
