Nowadays, in the world of motorcycles, technological evolution and breakthroughs are always the focus of attention! Recently, there is a piece of news that has made a lot of waves in the motorcycle field, that is, the newly developed horizontally opposed 8-cylinder engine of Great Wall! Can you imagine that this guy must be shiny if he is put on a motorcycle? Coincidentally, the Beijing International Auto Show on May 17 is approaching, and I wonder if it will be able to be unveiled in the form of a full car at that time? I wonder what you want to name your vehicle.
This is a picture of the vehicle that the horsemaker collected from the Internet, for reference only! As can be seen from the exposed pictures, the body is very long, mainly in auspicious red color, and with the protruding horizontally opposed 8-cylinder engine, it looks very atmospheric! If you are familiar with motorcycles, you may be able to react immediately! The reason why the Great Wall is engaged in research and development at any cost is, first, to prove to the world the strong rise of domestic technology, second, to break the "myth" of Honda's horizontally opposed 6-cylinder, and third, to play the first leading role for domestic recreational cruisers.
The obvious benchmarks in the shape of this car are, the big cruise Honda GL1800, Yamaha Star Eluder, BMW R18, etc. The opponents faced by the Great Wall seem to be difficult, but I would like to say that a challenge is a challenge, "stronger than those inaction", and there is hope for a breakthrough with strength! Obviously, a high-end recreational motorcycle needs to go through several comprehensive considerations of the car: 1. The shape is in line with the recreational style, and the ride is comfortable and atmospheric; 2. The power and electronic control distinguish ordinary motorcycles, and the technical excellence, low vibration, and bass noise are required; 3. Consider the appropriate, user-friendly and practical configuration, and be sure to be luxurious.
From the perspective of the real car that has not been revealed, the Great Wall motorcycle currently only has the engine dominance. With the result of its own R&D strength, it is so large that it is impossible to put it on a small motorcycle. Therefore, it can only be positioned as a large cruising car, which explains why it should be compared with competitors in the same class.
But the challenge is not just facing opponents. On the one hand, after the vehicle is listed, how to connect the follow-up maintenance matters with the important problems that follow-up? For example, after consumers pick up the car, should they send it to a motorcycle 4S shop for repair, or send it to a Great Wall Motors 4S shop for maintenance? This is undoubtedly a big question mark. After all, this is the first horizontally opposed 8-cylinder engine in China, and most stores can't afford it!
On the other hand, how much will the vehicle be sold for? Throughout the imports, the imported recreational cruise vehicles are used as a reference, and the basic starting price of Japanese, European, and American models ranges from 200,000 to 400,000 yuan. This reflects the game between car buyers and manufacturers. "It's better to buy imports than expensive to sell, and you can't sell them cheaply"! It is estimated that the price will be more than 100,000, what do you think? What the Great Wall motorcycle needs to do, the quality reputation can really be in place, and the appearance configuration is strong enough, so that it has the opportunity to compete with imported cruises, and can really stimulate consumers' desire to buy.
Summary: We have to agree, and the breakthroughs are worth appreciating! Seeing that domestic motorcycles can work hard to engage in research and development, from nothing to have, from imitation to creation, from creation to transcendence, is a strong proof of the continuous optimization and improvement of domestic motorcycle technology! Let us be full of more expectations and imagination for the future of the domestic motorcycle industry. As expected, the Great Wall can continue to explore and move forward in this new journey, bringing more amazing products to consumers, which is worthy of reference and learning from many domestic motorcycle manufacturers!
