The editor has something to say:
With the rapid development of the times, motorcycles are replaced by cars, but this does not mean that motorcycles are forgotten, motorcycles as the main means of transportation in the eighties and nineties, may be the impression that motorcycles are not expensive, a few thousand dollars can buy a new car, in fact, more high-end motorcycles are not cheaper than cars. For example: Harley, Yamaha, Kawasaki, BMW, Ducati brand motorcycles, etc., of course, domestic brand motorcycles, Loncin, Jialing, Lifan, Qianjiang, Chunfeng, Zongshen, Jianshe Yamaha, New Honda, Wuyang Honda, Haojue and so on.
If the four wheels carry the body, the two wheels carry the soul. If you have the opportunity to take a motorcycle license, buy a beloved motorcycle.
