In yesterday's 353rd batch of MIIT new car catalog, a new car called MX500-7D appeared. That's the 500ADV of Moo, which is familiar from the outside. It seems that the moo can make headlines again, and after the leather gauge Ducati V4 sports car and street fighter, it has attacked the BMW Waterbird again. Some netizens joked that this is to bring the Zotye design department to the nest.
Asymmetrical size eyes, prominent bird beaks, armed armor, etc., it can be said that in addition to the horizontal opposing "boxer" engine, there is also a difference in the transmission system.
Not only familiar, this is the appearance of many riders' dream model BMW Waterbird, but in the overall texture is more general, giving people a strong sense of plastic.
Moxiao waterbird should continue to use Loncin's KE500 engine, and then look at the specific parameters, the actual displacement of 471cc, the maximum power of 33 kilowatts, further determined is Loncin KE500 engine, want to get the latest KE525, I am afraid that Moxiao will have to wait for a while. It is said that he bought Kaiyue's frame directly. If that's the case, its price cap refers to the Kaiyue 500X.
"Mo Owl" production must be a fine product of this sentence is also deeply engraved on the body of many Moyou, the whole car is also very similar to bmw waterbird, standard with aluminum alloy side box, guard bar and handle plate, the back swingarm is also more popular with young people single swing arm design, I don't know if mo owl can make a shaft drive in the future...
Front 19 inches rear 17 inch steel wire spoke wheel, front double disc brake, inverted front shock absorption, mid rear shock absorption, curb weight 219kg, equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system.
From imitating the small Vulcan of Kawasaki, to the Ducati Street Fighter v4 some time ago, and then to today's BMW Waterbird, Moo has been adhering to its own development path and has been "innovating", which can only be said that this type of car does have its own market. Moyou can't help but look forward to, who will it imitate next?
In short, the motorcycle on the road of imitation, is gone, the previous two models of the movement is not small, even overseas media have reported on it, domestic media and car friends have also expressed interest and complaints. In fact, Mo Owl also developed in the direction of independent design, but unfortunately did not stick to it. Appropriate imitation and reference is not impossible, should also give domestic brands time to explore and develop, Kaiyue's first rally 500X does not also have the shadow of BMW waterbird, but look at today's models, no one to spit on the imitation of this terrier. I hope that our domestic brands can find the right direction through imitation.
