In 2020 and 2021, the Tokyo Motorcycle Show in Japan has been suspended for two consecutive sessions, until a few days ago, the 49th motorcycle exhibition was finally held again, although because of the epidemic compared with the previous brands have decreased, but the four major Japanese factories and other brands present still make this exhibition have a full new car to see.
Moreover, some of the new cars at this Tokyo Motorcycle Show may also appear at the Beijing Motorcycle Show next month. (The following brands are ranked in no particular order)
Honda
Honda unveiled two upcoming new cars at the show: the Dax125 and hawk 11, and judging from the two cars on display, honda seems to be planning to revive the old cars.
Born in 1969, st50/70, affectionately known as "giraffe" by domestic players, the small and cute shape and the advantages of easy to control make it the most ideal toy for many people, even if it has more different fun than regular size motorcycles, but it was discontinued in 2000.
The Dax125 exhibited by Honda this time is the rebirth of st50, compared to the last generation of giraffes more than twenty years ago, not only the quality of paint is better, but also equipped with a 125cc horizontal cylinder engine, although it has not been ridden, but has already felt the power of the big horse-drawn car, and the name on the body is still taken from the ST series.
The Hawk 11 is a Cafe Racer model for veteran drivers, which is equipped with a 1082cc water-cooled twin-cylinder engine with the same platform as the non-dual, but the foreign media has not announced whether there is a DCT transmission.
The overall appearance combines the essence of the CB series with the surrounding of the old sports models, making it a classic and very retro sporty, but unfortunately, this car is currently only sold in Japan.
Kawasaki
Kawasaki H2 series horror power must be known to players, supercharged engine contains more scientific and technological content, this exhibition Kawasaki showed the more advanced H2 SX SE, in terms of power, through the adjustment of the blade and stamping intake combined, the maximum horsepower increased to 210 horses, torque of 137 Nm.
The highlight of this new car is not the power, but the ACC adaptive cruise control system, when cruising at a fixed speed in the high-speed section, the radar can automatically adjust the speed of the car according to the speed and distance of the car in front, reducing the long-distance fatigue of the driver, but also reducing the response time in case of emergency. There is also a radar at the rear that monitors the surrounding vehicles, and when the rear car approaches, it lights up the blind spot warning light.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Z series, Kawasaki presented commemorative prints of Z650RS, Z900RS and Z900.

Bimota
We all know the relationship between Bimota and Kawasaki, and this time bimota also released the first KB4 produced in cooperation with Kawasaki, which cost 4,378,000 yen (about 228,000 yuan).
Kb4 was developed with the concept of easy riding, strong torque and lightweight, the body appearance adheres to the unique Italian artistic sense, and the combination of old and new front design has once again renewed its love.
The body hardware uses a lot of aluminum alloy and carbon fiber, and the forged wheels from OZ also help to reduce the weight of the car. The engine is on the same platform as the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX, and the maximum horsepower is 142 horses.
In terms of riding handling, the overall wheelbase of the KB4 is almost the same as that of the 600cc class imitation, increasing the flexibility of the body, and the Olins shock absorption and Brembo calipers also provide more ample capability for sports driving.
Yamaha
Yamaha unveiled two blockbuster new products: the MT-10 and TMAX, this time the two new cars were only exhibited as debuts, and the official release time was around the second half of the year.
Even though we already know enough about the previous MT-10, it has been called the most powerful Hyper Naked ever by foreign media.
In terms of power, the CP4 engine from the YZF-R1 is still used, and the exhaust system has been newly upgraded, which meets the Euro 5 emission regulations and has a maximum output of 165.9 ps and a maximum torque of 112 Nm, making it more powerful.
The TMAX, which will be released after this summer, has not yet been named for the new model, and has ushered in a more sporty shift in appearance and a more compact body.
The engine is still equipped with a twin-cylinder 560cc, and it is not known whether there is a new tuning in terms of power. Compared to the current model, the tires and suspension have been improved more sportsily, and the backrest of the main driver's seat has a three-stage adjustable position. Cruise control, electric windshield, handlebar/seat heating, etc., are still the basic (local version) configuration.
Also on display was Yamaha's new YZF-R7
Suzuki
The most eye-catching aspect of this year's Suzuki booth is the newly launched GSX-S1000GT, which changes the design language of Suzuki's predecessor and contains more scientific and technological sense.
Rather than being a station wagon, I personally think it is closer to a sports car that can ride comfortably on the highway, with the same power as the previous S1000F, equipped with the same engine, and the improved engine has a longer stroke, making the torque smoother and improving peak horsepower.
In terms of driving configuration, in addition to the previous Suzuki motorcycles, the GSX-S1000GT is also the first Suzuki motorcycle equipped with a TFT LCD screen. After downloading the SUZUKI mySPIN APP on the mobile phone, it can control the functions of receiving and receiving calls, music switching, and viewing maps in the screen of the car machine. Whether this car can enter the country is temporarily unknown.
KTM
At the KTM booth, the new RC390 attracted much attention, as the most watched small-displacement model at present, not only at the Tokyo Motor Show, but also many sports players in our country are looking forward to its arrival.
The new RC390 features a more family-specific design, with the same engine as the current 390DUKE we know, with the same power parameters. The bigger change is the use of TFT screens, as well as the netting at the exit of the exhaust tail section, which is very MOTOGP-style, although there are no pottery grains on the street.
Mavericks & Soko
New energy is bound to be the future development trend, this Tokyo Motor Show also has a lot of new energy brands, the first is the Maverick and Speed Ke, in foreign auto shows can see The Chinese brand is indeed proud, in the manufacture of new energy models, China has achieved curve overtaking.
Bmw
The most prominent on the BMW booth was the CE 04, the second car after C Evolution, which is more sci-fi than the previous one, equipped with a 42-horsepower electric motor and a battery with a range of 130km. In terms of safety assistance systems, DTC and cornering ABS systems are available.
Dragon
As a Chinese brand, Qiulong has 47 authorized stores in Japan, which is also worthy of the pride of the Chinese people, with a fun and interesting it, and it is also the best in the team of the world's electrified off-road vehicles. Through the leading electric vehicle technology and the focus on off-road products such as light bees and storm bees, it has been unanimously recognized by off-road vehicle enthusiasts at home and abroad.
Perhaps because the epidemic is still continuing, the new cars at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show are much less than in previous editions, and the number of new car releases has also been greatly reduced, but it is not easy to resume the holding at the moment, so that global car fans can see and know the latest car news in one breath.
Domestic car fans will also usher in the Beijing Motorcycle Show next month, presumably in the near future about the Beijing Auto Show will be revealed one after another, which cars do you hope to appear at the Beijing Motor Show?
