People buy and restore old patterns of motorcycle technology, "Ural" and "Dnepr" travel through European and American roads. It is a motorcycle, "Chang Yang", others more shrouded in mystery.

Of the history

The path of the Chang Jiang 750 (CJ750 abbreviated) starts in the Soviet Union. In 1940 at the Moscow experimental plant "Iskra" was started developing a heavy motorcycle under the supervision of N. P. Serdyukov.

The task was to create a heavy motorcycle that will be used for military purposes, and the sample was elected as a BMW R71, well-established in the Wehrmacht. A few copies were secretly purchased and in the spring of 1941, the Soviet Union began to produce its version of a motorcycle. It was called M-72 and class "armored vehicles". More than eight thousand pieces of equipment came off the Assembly line in the embodiment with a stroller, and in a single.

The war

The Motorcycle was used for military purposes. Provided for the installation of bags for ammunition, spare parts and brackets for mounting the machine gun. They are called swivels. They could be installed, for example, a machine gun Degtyarev. He attached the bipod to his plate, and was not only easy to transport the gun from place to place, but to fire even while riding.

New country

In the fifties the development of M-72 were sold in China. A motorcycle called the Chang Jiang, and was produced on aviation plant (China Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Company). The unit was produced until the nineties, but nowadays it would be illegal due to the mismatch between environmental standards. In China, however, still produce small parts for this motorcycle to meet the needs of those who have purchased equipment in the past.
There are modifications CJ750 electric start and a sloped fairing with two headlights.

speed

Because Of the limited speed and control the motorcycle was mainly used by the police and in the medical service in the option with a stroller. China attempted to export Chang Jiang to Europe, but was prevented by its low competitiveness. In the end, it was a copy of a motorcycle manufactured before the war, and, despite some advantages (established design, able to carry quite heavy loads), could not do anything to oppose the motorcycles of the new generation.

Specifications

The motorcycle mounted four-valve twin-cylinder boxer engine with a displacement of 745 cm3. Transmission-four-speed, wheel diameter is the same – 19 inches. Each cylinder receives fuel from its own carburettor. Motorcycle "Chang-Yang" refers to the road. It is quite heavy-about 230 kg with an empty tank without a wheelchair and 350 – with a stroller. Engine power 27 horsepower, top speed 120 km/h. However, drum brakes can provide a quality braking at high speeds and the overall handling of the unit is pretty low even in a single version, although opposed cylinder arrangement provides balance and a low center of gravity.

cheap motorcyclesMotorcycle "Chang-Yang" is well suited for a relaxing drive even over long distances, moreover, it copes with heavy loads and equipped with a large gas tank volume of 24 liters.

Nowadays

Given that the bike is "Chang-Yang" not produced for more than twenty years, his quest can be compared with the purchase of "Ural" and "Dnepr" abroad. It is difficult but possible. But in the country of origin is a frequent and cheap motorcycles. The same goes for CJ750 – it is quite possible to find in China, where it still travel through the back roads. For real lovers of vintage motorcycles, of course, there are no barriers, but buying them abroad, the transportation and the paperwork can result in a round sum. Everything else can be added money that will be needed for repairs.
