When it comes to beam motorcycles, I believe that many car enthusiasts are more familiar with, after all, beam motorcycle models in the domestic motorcycle market, occupies a very important position, the reason is simple, is because of the beam motorcycle simple and easy to understand the control method as well as the daily high efficiency of the practicality of the motorcycle. However, with the improvement of economic strength, beam motorcycle because in the value modeling is not as popular as the current stage of the street car, imitation race high, so the current market has shrunk.
While it is said that the market for curved beam motorcycles is not hot at this stage, Yamaha among the motorcycle industry has not given up, and at the end of 2019, it unveiled the first new curved beam model of the Tronuclear Technology - Lingjun. Not only that, but this curved beam motorcycle has also been completely redesigned, with significant improvements in both power and fuel economy.
According to the official information released, the Yamaha Lingjun was released in two versions, drum and disc brakes, with an official price of $6,980 and $7,280 respectively. You know, in the first few years in the price of a few thousand dollars to buy a pure imported models or very rare, not to mention now. So how does Yamaha's new curved beam motorcycle perform? We'll take a look below!
From the exterior design, at first glance, you can see that the exterior styling of this Yamaha Lingjun is excellent workmanship compared to previous curved beam models. And this model gives people the feeling of full of fashion, the whole car jade white paint, looks very texture. The body lines are also outlined very hard, coupled with Yamaha's very unique decals, sporty.
Lighting, although the Yamaha Lingjun all halogen light source, but when lit, the effect is still relatively good. The front headlight uses a high-brightness HS1 bulb, which adds a lot of riding safety under the nighttime flag. Instrumentation is a conventional mechanical meter, although the function is not as comprehensive as the mainstream models, but the use of performance is better, even in a bright light environment, the data is also very clear.
In terms of power, the Yamaha Lingjun is equipped with a single-cylinder air-cooled engine with an actual displacement of 115mL, and from the official data released, the maximum torque reaches 9.6N?m/5250r, while the maximum power reaches 6.4kW/7000r, which is still a good power performance. In addition, the engine is matched with a cyclic 4-speed gearbox, with power output focused on low and medium revolutions, coupled with Yamaha's Troncore technology, which makes it powerful and fuel-efficient when compared to bikes of the same displacement.
In terms of the vehicle's configuration, I feel more conventional, after all, it is just a city commuter model. In terms of range, it is paired with a 4L fuel tank, but thanks to Yamaha's fuel-saving technology, fuel consumption is only 1.7 liters per 100 kilometers, so the range can easily reach more than 200km. For braking, there are two versions, the disc brake version has front discs and rear drums, while the drum brake version has drum brakes front and rear. As for tires, it is equipped with front 70/90-17M/C?38P?rear 80/90-17?M/C?50P all-terrain tires, which are still relatively wide to adapt to the road surface.
Overall, the Yamaha Lingjun, an imported model, appears in the not-so-hot bent-beam motorcycle segment, but its performance is outstanding. In addition, I think Yamaha's Genesis Core Technology is also very good, although it is a cold model, but with its revamped new design appearance and outstanding configurations, it will also make this car to attract a lot of fans. In addition, the current market, it is also very difficult to see 6980 yuan price, you can take away the pedigree of pure Yamaha.
