Kawasaki Japan

Recommended models: Ninja H2, ZX-10R, Ninja 300 Kawasaki Heavy Industries was founded during the Meiji Restoration and was one of Japan's most important heavy industry companies. Kawasaki had already built Japan's first domestically produced submarine in 1906, and during World War II, it also provided the Japanese army with military equipment such as the Feiyan fighter, the Type 5 fighter, and the Type 1 transport aircraft, and built the famous battleship Haruna and many aircraft carriers such as the Kaga. At present, Kawasaki's business scope has included various fields such as land, sea, air and aerospace, and its industrial strength is very impressive. Kawasaki competed in the Moto GP from 2002 to 2008 but had dismal results and then stopped racing, and his best result in MXGP was only second, but with the ZX-10R, Kawasaki won back-to-back WSBK titles in 2013, 2015 and 2016. WSBK is different from Moto GP, Moto GP uses each brand's factory car, although it reflects the brand's highest technology, but the cost is extremely high and the production is limited, while WSBK stipulates that the production car needs to be modified, which can be participated, which is closer to practicality. Kawasaki's reputation comes from the production cars, and the Ninja and ZX, which are the masters...

Suzuki Japan

Recommended models: GSX-R1000, GSX-S1000F, GSX-R250 Suzuki has won the Moto GP 6 times, second only to Honda and Yamaha in the number, but has not won the championship since the turn of the millennium, and due to lack of funds, announced its retirement from the Moto GP in 2011, only to return in 2015. Suzuki's most famous series is the GSX, but in the memories of riders, names like Bandit, Thrill, Suzuki Knife and Hayabusa feel more to it than the cold model. In particular, when the Suzuki knife was introduced in the 80s, the design was more than ten years ahead of its time, and Suzuki actually mass-produced this motorcycle comparable to a concept car, which became a legend of Suzuki at that time. The GSX is divided into GSX-R and GSX-S, R is Racing, S is Street, and the functional bias is different, but both cover models from 125cc to 1000cc, and the GSX 1300 R Suzuki Hayabusa has a displacement of up to 1340cc. Suzuki Hayabusa is the treasure of Suzuki's town, it used to be the highest speed motorcycle, from 1999 to the present, even the shape has not changed much, the maximum horsepower is 9500 rpm to reach 198 horsepower, to this rpm, the top speed is basically more than 350KM/H.

In the ensuing World War II, BMW also received a large number of military orders from the German army to produce a large number of motorcycles for the Blitzkrieg. The most famous are the R75 and R71, the R75 was copied by the Soviet Union because of its multi-function and can be matched with mortars and machine guns, and the R71 is famous because of its appearance that was imitated as the Yangtze River 750. After World War II, many factories in Germany were demolished, and BMW was no exception, and the motorcycle division can be said to have started from scratch again. BMW's revival mainly relied on cars, and motorcycles officially became a diffusion. Now BMW...

Recommended models: Tough Guy 883, Street 750, Road King Having a Harley when you are young and a Cadillac when you are old is enough for this life. is a well-known American proverb. Harley, a brand that lives by faith and is alive and well. Harley's position was established in World War I and World War II, when the production of military motorcycles for the US military, World War I made Harley the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, after the Great Depression, Harley and Indian became the only two remaining motorcycle manufacturers, and during World War II, the US military chose Harley, which created an excellent opportunity for Harley's development. If you're gear-conscious, then Harley isn't for you, and last year Harley unveiled its most significant technological innovation in nearly 100 years, the revolutionary Milwaukee-Eight engine, with the core change being that the two-valve has become four-valve. Yes, at a time when the 16-valve was commonly used in the industry's flagship models, Harley finally used a four-valve, with the aim of taking minimal improvements and passing Euro IV emission standards. The last time Harley introduced a new engine was in 1998, when it changed from single camshaft to twin camshaft, and that's it. Harley is not...

Ducati has only won the Moto GP once in 2007, but the current top speed of the Moto GP of 354.9 km/h was set by Annone in 2016 in the Ducati GP16. Ducati's tail speed is indeed better than that of many manufacturers, but the gear ratio of the partial tail speed must be sacrificed, and it is slightly inferior in corners. Compared to the Moto GP, Ducati's results in the WSBK are simply brilliant, Honda has won a total of 6 championships in the WSBK, while Ducati has 14, and has won 8 times between 1990 and 2000, but in the past decade, the competition among manufacturers has been fierce, and Ducati has only won 2 championships.

Triumph Triumph United Kingdom

Recommended models: Bonneville Thuruxton R, Street Twin Triumph is a veteran motorcycle manufacturer from the United Kingdom, and is currently the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the United Kingdom, when Kawasaki was still building submarines, Triumph had already built the first motorcycle, it was 1902. Over the past 100 years, Triumph has developed more than a dozen models in four series, with the Road Star and Super Sport series focusing on sporty style, the Modern Classic series focusing on British retro, the Cruisers series featuring American cruising style, and the Adventure and Touring series focusing on off-road and travel. Most of the riders who play Triumph pay attention to design and feeling, and generally don't care too much about cost performance, because Triumph's main car design will never compromise on price for the sake of the market. The 900cc Street Cup is only 54 horsepower, front and rear KYB suspension, and Nissin twin-piston calipers front and rear, and costs £8,800, which is a cut higher than the Japanese configuration for the same price point. However, it is worth mentioning that in 2019, the Moto 2 level of the Moto GP will be supplied by Triumph, and it is possible that it will be the in-line three-cylinder engine used by its Daytona. Triumph has not yet entered the country...
