Touring Bike is a popular model in the motorcycle category overseas, but in China we call it a recreational motorcycle, which is generally used for long-distance motorcycle tours. Among models of this level, the most famous one is the Honda Gold Wing, but its starting price of as high as 388,000 yuan in China is still beyond the reach of many car enthusiasts. But in 2021, two recreational motorcycles launched by the two leading domestic motorcycle manufacturers will give domestic recreational vehicle enthusiasts a more affordable choice. Let us take a look at these two vehicles. who is it.
Qianjiang Benelli - 1200GT
Guide price: 99,800 yuan
In terms of appearance, the Benelli 1200GT, as the first domestically produced liter-class GT model on the market, is particularly heavy in design, with a majestic front visual impression, combined with a wide body The air deflector is very impressive. The wide air deflector on the front of the car can provide sufficient air diversion when driving at high speeds, reducing the impact of wind pressure on the driver. The body size of the Benelli 1200GT is 2420*970*1620mm, its wheelbase has also reached 1550mm, and its weight has reached 320kg. Such dimensions and weight are suitable for long-distance touring motorcycles. Brings more stability when cruising in a straight line.
In terms of configuration, the front of the Benelli 1200GT uses an integrated LED headlight set, and the internal lens can also make the illumination effect better. The electric windshield is not only larger in area, but also has a stepless adjustment mode that is more convenient. In addition, the standard front and rear driving recorders eliminate the trouble of later modifications.
The Benelli 1200GT is equipped with an electric center support and electric reversing assist. For this 320KG big guy, having this feature makes parking and reversing a lot easier.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument also looks very technological, but the functionality is temporarily not as good as the 1250TR-G of Dongfeng (later models will be upgraded to configure mobile phone interconnection functions).
The three-box configuration is a must-have for recreational motorcycles. The original SHAD large-capacity side box 50L tail box can make the journey more secure in terms of storage performance.
In terms of braking and suspension systems, the Benelli 1200GT uses the M4.32 radial opposed four-piston calipers provided by Brembo, combined with a 320mm floating disc. The braking force performance is enough to make this big guy feel at ease; in terms of suspension system configuration , uses a damping-adjustable inverted front fork provided by KYB, and the rear shock absorber is also provided by KYB and has a preload adjustment function.
In terms of power, the engine can be said to be a highlight of the Benelli 1200GT. This 1209cc three-cylinder engine with pure Benelli technology can release a maximum power of 100kW at a speed of 9000rpm, and the maximum torque is also Reached 120Nm/6500rpm. With such power parameters, its low torque will explode earlier, and its performance at high speeds is also good. Secondly, in terms of vibration, the three-cylinder engine has better performance than the V-twin of Dongfeng's 1250TR-G, and the most important thing is that the sound of the three-cylinder will be more pleasant.
CFMotoââ1250TR-G
Guide price: 99,980 yuan
In terms of appearance, CFMOTO 1250TR-G has launched two color schemes: star white and deep sea blue. The solid color painting also leaves room for personalized modification after purchasing the car. room. Compared with the Benelli 1200GT, the exterior design of the Dongfeng 1250TR-G is more stylish.
The front of the car feels more oppressive; and the oversized headlights make people feel more technological in appearance. As CFMOTO's first liter-class luxury sports tourer, CFMOTO 1250TR-G is not only equipped with rich electronic configurations, but also has comprehensive comfort functions. The huge headlights still follow the TR-G family design, and the headlight design is rich in layers.
The 43.3L capacity side box that comes standard with the factory can easily put down a helmet. The color of the side box is consistent with the car body, which will not ruin the overall beauty. However, it is a bit regretful that it is not equipped with a rear trunk.
In terms of configuration, Dongfeng has spent almost everything on the configuration of this car. It is equipped with a 12.3-inch TFT full-color instrument, supports mobile phone screen projection, tire pressure monitoring and other rich functions. It is better than the Benelli 1200GT in terms of multimedia performance. One chip.
Dongfeng 1250TR-G is quite rich in configurations. It not only has four riding modes: competitive, sports, street and rainy days, HHC hill assist, keyless start and other electronic configurations; but also in terms of hardware configuration, it is equipped with German Mueller Steering damping (titanium ruler), MAGURA hydraulic clutch , CF-SC sliding clutch, electronic throttle, electrically adjustable windshield, heated handlebars, and cruise control are configurations that look like imported ones.
In terms of shock absorption and braking systems, it is equipped with MARZOCCHI inverted front shock absorbers, which are fully adjustable with a stroke of 130mm; the mid-mounted rear shock absorbers are fully adjustable with a stroke of 128mm. In terms of braking, the front brake adopts a 320mm floating front double disc design with Brembo opposed 4-piston radial calipers; the rear brake uses a combination of 270mm fixed single disc and Brembo opposed dual-piston calipers, and comes standard with a cornering ABS system.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1279cc 75° V-type twin-cylinder engine from KTM. The compression ratio is as high as 12.5:1. It can output a maximum power of 105kW at 8500rpm and a maximum torque of 120N·m at 7000rpm. Although the curb weight reaches It weighs 304kg, but with the power of this set, it is still enough for long-distance motorcycle travel.
Compared with imported models, which are priced at hundreds of thousands of yuan, the Benelli 1200GT and Dongfeng 1250TR-G are undoubtedly more down-to-earth, priced at less than 100,000 yuan, and these two cars are also currently domestically produced. There are only two liter-class recreational motorcycles, which makes fans of recreational motorcycles pay special attention to these two vehicles. Through the previous introduction, we can find that each of these two cars has its own advantages. The three-cylinder of the Benelli 1200GT is the biggest selling point. The characteristics of the three-cylinder make the power more linear and good when driving at low/medium/high speed; while the Dongfeng 1250TR-G has great comfort and auxiliary functions in long-distance riding. The performance will be better.
