2000сс/8-Сylinder/Engine Sound/Great Wall SOUO S 2000 Luxury Tourer/New Chinese Motorcycle 2024

Great Wall Motors has officially unveiled its new motorcycle brand Souo S2000 luxury tourer.
This new Chinese motorcycle will compete with Honda Gold Wing and BMW K1600 as well as Indian Pursuit and Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited.
This touring bike is equipped with the world's only horizontally opposed eight-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2000 cc.
Power figures have not yet been disclosed, but the engine is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The developers have stated that the use of this transmission technology will provide the driver with smoother and faster gear changes.
It should be noted that flat engines are preferred in large motorcycles because they maintain a low center of gravity and offer better stability.
Great Wall Motors has equipped the S2000 with the world's first three-layer stepped front suspension, which also has a multi-stage adjustable electronic shock absorber.
The frame is constructed of cast aluminum without any screws, very similar to the Honda Goldwing.
Braking is provided by a four-piston Brembo setup.
The Souo touring motorcycle is equipped with heated seats, a windshield that can be raised at the touch of a button, a blind spot monitoring system and a 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports connectivity and updates over the air, as well as voice control, cruise control and electric reverse gear.
The rev counter shows a red line starting from 6,000 RPM.
This indicates that the motorcycle is tuned for torquey low and mid-range performance.
The speedometer has a maximum reading of 240 km/h.
The overall length of the model is 2660 mm, width 950 mm, height 1540 mm, wheelbase size is 1810 mm, and saddle height is 740 mm. Thus, the novelty is much larger than the iconic Honda Gold Wing.
The Chinese luxury tourer Souo S2000 is expected to be cheaper than the Honda Gold Wing.It will cost approximately $28,000.

People as old as i am remember when Japanese bikes were considered junk.

[@tropicalsnow]

you were born yesterday?

[@tropicalsnow]

I got a Wing but recognize Japanese bikes are not to everyone's taste.

[@bobnicholson4702]

I believe it's Chinese

[@warrenmurchie6599]

Yes but Chinese will forever be junk.

[@normangraber1047]

Yep. I was riding a 1952 FLHF (the last F denotes footshift, '52 was the first year for that) when the Honda Dream showed up.

[@williamhannas9342]

Honda once considered a horizontal 8 for the 'Wing. What do you wanna bet they snatched the blueprint?

[@RePete02]

I road a GL 1800 for almost 200,000 miles. Best machine I've ever owned but I know enough about high end Chinese manufacturing to understand that they are very capable of making high end, quality machines. The days of "made in China, must be junk" are past. Yes they will make all the cheap junk cheap people want to buy but let's remember Japan in the 1960's and how their products evolved from "ugh" to "wow". China is doing the same thing but better and faster. I for one would give it a chance before I develop an opinion on it's quality. If it's half the bike my Wing was, it's worth a shot.

[@northerniltree]

If it was half the price, and you had half a brain. It is a blatant unserviceable rip off of a proven, bullet- proof 50-years-refined Japanese legendary performer. And it's resale value will make you weep.

[@tomokokishi3066]

OK without the music , please.

[@markkerin5699]

I like the exhaust note. Let's leave it at that shall we.

[@Mark-mm1ke]

Being I'm a motorcyle, Porsche owner and a gear head, I love the idea here. I rode a Gold Wing all over Colorado for 2 weeks and loved that bike. I can only imagine the power you could get from this 8 cylinder flat engine. 200+ would be easy if so desired. Hell, 300 no problem. Great video show casing this thing. Would I buy one. No, I'm a HD guy and love it. Got all I need in a bike to go anywhere for all day riding. But I get this bike. Get it out on the open road I bet if feels great. Somebody will buy it.

[@user-nk4zg6ev6n]

I doubt very much they will ever let this bike into our market. Thanks EPA.

[@dragonslayer1294]

I’ll keep my gold wing it’s never failed me yet. Honda best on earth.

I wouldn't go near it. Nephew bought a 650 Benelli, it was nothing but trouble.

[@burnerjack01]

Like BMW K 1600 and. Honda Goldwing had an illegitimate baby.

[@2b4america]

Honda has decades of experience developing their dealer (i.e. service) network, and refining their reliability through outstanding engineering. The Chinese are great when it comes to trying to copy others, but usually fall short on execution. I'll be looking forward to seeing a Souo S2000 on the side of the road someday.

[@EventHorizonADP]

I don’t know about that. Money can buy all of the engineers you want from wherever you want. I love GWs. I own a new one right now and have had them all my life. But this machine seems to address all of the short-comings that Honda has failed to address because they have been the only players in the game for so long. Clearly this is targeted toward an American fan base. I think they are in it for the long haul and I am here for it. I have struggled with Honda to fix some very serious issues that I have had since I bought my latest GW, and it still hasn’t been done. In June it will mark 3 years. 2021 DCT AB. I have a 19 minute video on my channel detailing this, if you are interested.

[@br777666]

I'm interested. ​@@EventHorizonADP

But will it have the Engine Cover HONDA forgot to install on all our Goldwings from 2018' thru 24'

[@zalpomV]

It’s not clear that the steering wheel is installed in the fuel tank?

[@robertvasquez2738]

Love it

[@user-nk4zg6ev6n]

your SERIOUS , YOU WOULD BUY A COMMUNIST CHINA BIKE ?

[@J.Harry.T]

Just about every new motorcycle on the market contains a percentage of Chinese made components. Plenty of motorcycle companies have whole motorcycles made there and then market them under their own established names. The only difference with this one is the honesty about where it comes from. Replacement parts will be probably be available from AliBaba and will be as cheap as chips. Chinese industry has been built on the greed of Western companies doing their manufacturing where it is cheapest and putting a big mark-up on the end product. It looks like those days might soon be coming to an end.

[@user-nk4zg6ev6n]

Most New bikes have Chinese shit cheap parts in them , as I just bought my last Indian Motorcycle , Harley and the Wing ALL have China shit on these bikes .

[@pastorjohnculbertson661]

Looks like the big Yamaha tour bike

[@user-bu2en3cl6s]

If they can deliver on quality AND price, it will be a winner. Those who are just now beginning to mature enough for a long distance touring bike, will not be as likely to frown upon a Chinese product.

[@clay1883]

China? Quality? Based on what China makes, do these words belong together?

[@CensorshipGenesis]

@@clay1883 - In fact they do,. But most people more worried with their ridiculous racist blur tend to forget that. There's very crap and cheap Chinese stuff. And there's high end, higher cost. Where do you thing brands from BMW, to Mercedes, etc. Get many of their high quality parts?! Why do you think brands like Rolls Royce are being surpassed both in technology and quality by Chinese competition?!! Yep! Curious hmm! ;-)

[@mrvoyagerm]

[@mattmattes3913]

Sorry, my bikes been bought & paid for, for 37 years. It'll stay that way. This bike looks like you took parts from every manufacturer and glued them together.

[@nigelcramp1918]

It's like the Japanese all over again, laughed at now they dominate the motorcycle world.

[@ericyeo2040]

Honda should have kept the older Goldwing preload adjustment for the newer Goldwing. With the newer model, you either get not enough or too much preload whereas the older model you can adjust it step 1 to 25. This bike looks more the the Yamaha Star Venture with a Goldwing Flat engine setup. Will be interesting once its release in the market..

[@peterboczan2116]

For the Chinese to gain a foothold in this market sector it has to offer considerably more motorcycle at a lower price tag than the established makes. Then it is a question of build quality and badge snobbery.

[@brianpuplampu9000]

I absolutely agree with you.

[@breedlofam]

Never been a badge snob, but questionable Chinese quality isn't just a myth. If it's shown to be a quality made product, I'm all about it if the price and features are competitive. Likely going to be built to break and overpriced though

[@TheChromeRonin]

Its going to be a marketing exercise, but that burble from the flat 8 is going to go a LOOOOOOOONG way into getting people onto this beast.

[@bigticket9302]

China is eating our lunch.

[@williamxchau]

I absolutely agree with you, but just like any other market that the Chinese has managed to get a foot hold of, consumers are much more price/quality driven than anything else, offer a great product that works, it’s reliable, and at half the price, people will buy it. Simple equation really, thats how all the Korean cars started, look at them now. Hell that’s even how the Japanese cars started. 😂 That’s said…. A motorbike is one of the last places where I would want to scrimp on quality myself….. not exactly just a router or air fryer 🤭

[@alp3781]

They took a Goldwing, Yamaha and Victory and made a baby. It will take them a lot of sweat to get people to switch from these bikes. The reliability of the Honda is to no match. I don't know how they will accomplish that. Unless, they will offer crazy full coverage to buyers. What about dealers? Service? Support? parts?

[@LorenzoNacional-ju8me]

Continue.

[@markc7842]

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

I don’t see a Harley owners going with this but I think this new brand will take a chunk out of Honda Goldwing sales for sure. If bike magazines critics show positive feed back, it may take off, then parts and service will be the main concern. Long road trips with very few servicing dealers are a main concern.

[@markc7842]

Love the sound of v8 or f8😅

[@scoutandscooter]

As we learned during Covid, supply chains broke U.S. production because so many components come from Asia. The iPhone in your pocket came from China. Quality will probably be OK. The problem is the market. I'm a younger (63) boomer and I'm on my final bike. I won't be buying another big cruiser. Maybe an ADV. No one younger than me wants one. Yamaha was smart enough to cut bait after the last Venture. Pick up one of those NOS for $17,000.

[@breedlofam]

Product is only good coming out of China due to oversight. Foreign companies have contracts and boots in the plants ensuring that the quality requirements are met or they don't get paid. In the case of Chinese owned and built products coming out of China, it's always been a toss up.

[@DavidCooper-rv6wg]

[@CensorshipGenesis]

Lifan? You mean that Chinese brand that produce the largest number of motorbikes on this planet?! Curious isn't it? ;-)

[@MrHugemoth]

As I have said for the last 20 years, China will own the US motorcycle market just like they own the market in many countries already. They can and do make excellent bikes. I bought my first Lifan in 2007 and since then have owned several Chinese bikes, a quad, and a scooter. All have been just as reliable as any Honda I have owned, and I've owned many in 55 years of riding.
