Recently, a friend came to me to consult and wanted to know which motorcycles are more suitable for beginners to get started? Not only handsome, but also cheap, to be good to ride, it is best to be a little more compelling.
Nowadays, there are many domestic models to choose from, such as wuji 250RR, Chunfeng 250NK, etc., which are good entry motorcycles. But after I recommended him these models that are familiar to his friends, he said that he was still not satisfied, but what other options?
In the case of reasoning, these domestic cars are already good, and they want to be cheap and everything is good, which is impossible. However, if you can accept used cars, the demand for value + performance + cheap is not so unsatisfactory.
So today we will take stock of what second-hand trade motorcycles can be bought in China in 2022 that are worth buying for novices.
1. Yamaha R15
Recommended for:
Cheap - 23800 in the past, now only about 10,000 yuan.
It's yamaha, the R15, which not only gives your faith a home, it also has some fantastic technologies like an aluminum frame and engine.
Yamaha R15 current salted fish price range in the range of 1 to 15,000, if the confidence in their own cycling is not very sufficient, then it is recommended to use this practice, after all, the car is light, otherwise it is better to skip this car directly (because the same price has better options, and R15 does not have ABS).
R15 is Yamaha in 2015 in China released the entry-level imitation racing car model, the main selling point of this car at that time was R1 down a lot of technology, such as Deltabox aluminum alloy frame, Yamaha aluminum alloy cylinder, but for the domestic market in 2015, this car is still a bit high and low, everyone cares about the focus is not on your technology, but in your displacement, how many cylinders the engine is.
Precautions for purchase:
R15 has nothing to pay attention to, that is, this car does not have a standard ABS, novice brakes should be counted, otherwise it is easy to fall because of misoperation.
2, Honda CBR300R
The amount is large and cheap - once more than 40,000 cars, now only need more than 10,000.
Higher appearance - compared to the rotten street front face of the ninja series, CBR's appearance still seems to be unconventional today.
It's Honda — making a home for its faith.
CBR300R is currently priced at 10,000 to 20,000, it is recommended to buy cheaper, too expensive is actually not as cost-effective as ninjas and GSX250.
CBR300R is Honda's first small displacement imitation racing model released in China, the fate of this car in China is really not bad, the fate trajectory of this car is like this, first the pricing is high, then the castration of the whole vehicle, followed by the national recall. Like Kawasaki's 250, the Honda CBR300R was also cut in horsepower, but even if the car regained its horsepower, it still couldn't run Kawasaki...
The older CBR300R engine may not be in very dry condition, so be sure to check the condition carefully when buying a car.
Even if the castration of the CBR300R is restored to its original state, the improvement is not very obvious, so you don't have to choose a model that lifts the speed limit when buying a car.
3. Kawasaki 250 series models
The amount is large and cheap - once 30,000 to 40,000 cars, now only need to be in their early 10,000s and can play for several years, which is really cost-effective.
Good handling - the curb weight can also hang half of the domestic 250cc single-cylinder / double-cylinder models.
The quality and performance are relatively strong - the reputation is OK, there has been no problem in these years, the playability of the whole vehicle after the lifting of the speed limit is very high, giving people a feeling that is no worse than the domestic twin cylinder 300cc.
The current price of the Kawasaki 250 series ranges from 10,000 to 25,000 yuan (it is recommended to buy about 10,000 yuan, if it is too expensive, it is better to choose the new Wuji 250RR).
Kawasaki has a total of four regular 250cc models in China, namely the Ninja 250/250SL, Z250/250SL, the main difference between these cars is that the SL version is a single cylinder, and the low-end no ABS; the model without SL is what we often call the orthodox little ninja (or Z series street car).
How to distinguish whether Kawasaki's 250cc model is single-cylinder or two-cylinder?
This distinction is very simple, do not look at the exhaust pipe, just look at the headlights.
Split headlights are both two-cylinder models, such as the Ninja 250/Z 250.
The one-piece headlights are all single-cylinder models, which are 250SL versions.
In addition, the Ninja 250/z 250 uses a pointer + LCD meter, and the SL version is a full LCD instrument.
The Ninja 250/Z250 uses a diamond frame, while the SL version uses a steel tube braided frame.
The 2014 Ninja 250SL and Z 250 SL do not have sliding clutches, and if there is a strong demand for sliding clutches, pay attention to the vehicle's factory year when buying a car.
The original speed limit of the Ninja 250 and Z 250 is 135km/h, although used cars are basically lifted now, but I still recommend that you ask this question when buying a car, after all, it costs money to lift the speed limit alone.
4. BMW G310R/G310GS
The amount is large and cheap - once a car with a size of 40,000 is now only a little bit of 20,000, and the hardware configuration of this car is basically the same as the KTM at the same price.
Higher appearance - throw away the BMW logo to say that the G310R looks good, and it will not collide with the horizon.
It's BMW – the most accessible form of transport for young people with luxury brand attributes.
G310R's current salted fish price is around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, in fact, 20,000 yuan can receive a good car condition, and then expensive, this car is not very necessary.
The G310 is BMW's entry-level motorcycle, unlike other brands, BMW's entry-level displacement is at least 300cc, which is basically the limit for novices to start. The whole vehicle configuration, appearance, performance, all said in the past, but the price of this car is too expensive, the price of the new car of the year is close to 50,000 yuan, compared to the Japanese 400cc, there is no cost performance to speak of, and it is also castrated...
BMW buys a car will generally send maintenance, especially the G310 series models, when buying a car, you can ask the owner of the car, whether the vehicle has a maintenance package given by the dealer.
Driving the G310R requires you to have a strong understanding of the semi-clutch critical point, this car is easy to turn off at the beginning, this is the problem of the car, not your problem.
G310R has also been officially recalled, remember to ask the owner whether the owner has done a recall before buying a car, the recall is mainly for the winter start problem, as well as the brake caliper problem, I remember it is free.
G310R also has a castration problem, this speed limit may affect the official warranty after lifting, so the car you buy is basically not lifted, when you ride the technology after the improvement, it is best to consider whether to lift the speed limit after the vehicle has out of the warranty period.
summary:
At present, the big trade cars on the market that are suitable for beginners to get started are on it.
In pursuit of having a car to ride, it is recommended that the Yamaha R15, which is a very good car in the 150cc class, easy to ride, with a compulsive grid.
In pursuit of brand power, it is recommended to try BMW 310, now the second-hand car price of 20,000 yuan, no one can still cut your leeks.
In pursuit of fun, it is recommended that the Kawasaki Twin Cylinder 250 Series, after lifting the speed limit, you can play more passionately (the same price).
Pursue Honda, then CBR300R, although it is shocked, although it does not run fast, but it is Honda, is the Thailand big trade Honda.
PS: The reason why I didn't say KTM is because KTM's current price is not suitable for novices, such as the old 390, the car is not necessarily in good condition, and the power of 32kw is generally uncontrollable for novices, and the quality after the 200 DUKE CKD I really don't know.
As for the 250 DUKE, the car is good, but the price has not fallen back to a cost-effective point, less than 20,000 or cost-effective, otherwise it is better to practice the car, the future directly on the 390 DUKE/RC.
If you have a novice around you who is ready to buy a car, will you recommend him to buy a new domestic or second-hand trade model?
