Even with half the attention to detail with regards to fittings and levers - it would still be a gorgeous bike compared to the modern electronics laden plastic trash!

[@ransomprigg1047]

A friend of mine bought one of those because it was so cheap, he didn't trust the machine work so he tore it down completely and cleaned it up. He found metal filings in there and some rough work. He balanced the rods and pistons and just checked everything as he assembled it. It is now a fine bike similar to a BMW. He probably extended the life of the bike like at least 5 fold.

[@crippledrider]

Made in China! doesn't matter where it's made, a beautiful motorcycle.

[@rickg.4975]

Damn nice looking bikes.

[@mutterschied]

I have in my garage an beautiful M1S MK-II in white colour, alu rings and Bosch everything 'cept starter and sidecar rear light--- and its a REAL delice to ride!!

That bike with the side car was nice.... Good for a tour, just load it up with what you need and go traveling

[@jhunalmero8891]

Love the design of this bike... It's definitely would sell well here in the Philippines

[@harrystevens3885]

I can hear Bert Hopwood,Val Page and Edward Turner laughing all the way from heaven..........

These are basically pre-WW2 BMW design made in China.

Used to ride on in Shanghai , and yeah they are crap good thing is you can redux the welds and rebuild the engine with a screwdriver and hand sledgehammer only tools I carried in mine , another good point is they are cheap as chips ,

Hairy Banana I

[@jimbryant7422]

I had a club of riders in Beijing and we would ride up into the mountains of Huairo every Sunday and find a pond and catch fish whick locals would BBQ for us. A lot of fun back in the late 1990s

[@brent440]

[@jimbryant7422]

Not much

[@thisthatandtheotherchan5548]

What's the safest way to break in a motor?

[@davidgreve1081]

Thisthatandtheother Chan , Ride it like you stole it for the first 300 miles, change the oil and filter, then ride it like you normally would drive one.

[@rationalmartian]

NO. That is bad advice. Hard break-in is a load of old bollocks. One can however be too easy going and gentle. This could glaze the bore and rings and not let them wear and seat properly. Most heat is transferred from the piston to the cylinder bore and out to the cooling system through that first (top) piston ring. The rings bedding in nicely with the bore is crucial to compression and engine longevity. All the other brand new components will be much happier too. And it is easier to spot or hear something starting to go amiss when you are not thrashing the tits off the thing. There will be plenty of time for that. My advice is follow the manufacturers recommendations. If you look you will find they all pretty much agree and recommend the same procedure. And it is actually in their best interest that you end up with a good engine that lasts. Let's also not forget they are the ones who also designed and built the thing.

[@ivan868]

2:50 - what is this??

[@stoneblue1795]

Better made than the BMW's of today.

[@peterpao567]

...are you stoned?

[@fabianusjuwanaganis5898]

Cheaper than any motor cycle in thw world

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

Needs a compressor :)

[@popebryanii7224]

I wish they still sold these cheaply.

[@Alex-pj8nz]

In the EU it’s now a Euro 5 so probably better quality but not cheap any more.

[@user-bb5up7qk4e]

1:27 - is a M-72 from USSR)

[@getanearlyd8276]

m72 is a copy of a BMW R75 from ww2

[@ianroscoe6745]

Not up to your usual standard, Jawa, too many dramatic close-ups and too little tech info.

[@dietrichschmiedeknecht3687]

interesting, unfortunately, no info. or specs, no comments or comparison to the Russian Ural.

[@your-a-tubelies-fake-false8764]

they sound british

[@shaunelliott3759]

These look beautiful, from a distance, unfortunately when you get close up the fit not finish and especially the castings are terrible. I know they are copy of BMW and the like, and no one would expect that quality, but these are pretty bad. I'm still considering buying one for me and the granddaughter, they look cool as fugk, from a distance, and you could probably fix them with chewing gum some string and a banana.

[@andrewallen9993]

Shaun Elliott rwathervyou should buy a Jaws or Ural with a sidecar. Both slow though!

[@chasstiles7611]

Don't forget duct tape,and bailing wire

[@thisthatandtheotherchan5548]

Something about the sound...can't place it.

[@harrystevens3885]

Sounds terrible to me........

[@robertking3130]

Take a steel bucket, add a handful or two of nuts and bolts and give it a shake. Is that the sound you were reminded of?

[@jimbryant7422]

Flat Heads have a unique sound, even the old Flat Head Fords had a unique sound compared to OHV motors

[@ottovonostrovo1486]

I believe that it is based on the prewar BMW but they got or took the rights from the Russian Ural! If the quality is as good as the Ural, it is very bad indeed!! And that is too bad!! A well built, well priced and dependable vintage bike would be appreciated in today's market!

[@k.w.churchill4397]

Ive heard that the modern Ural is a great bike !...

[@ottovonostrovo1486]

@@k.w.churchill4397 My cousin had a Ural and it was bad!! He could never go anywhere without his cell phone so that he could call his wife when he broke down!!

[@keithhampton9700]

Old rumor was that Harley Davidson sold the tooling for the XA to China.

[@jimbryant7422]

@@keithhampton9700 Just a rumor and not nearly accurate. The Chaqng Jiang is built on BMW R71 tooling which passed from Hitler, to Stalin, to Mao, hence the nickname is the 3 bad guy's bike

No! BMW R71 copy.

[@getanearlyd8276]

they are BMW R75 copies... but i respect that because now they provide a cheaper alternative to the original which then you can customize to look like the original

[@jimbryant7422]

Not R75. They are built on R71 tooling. The R75 had no rear suspension. The R71 had plunger rear suspension, same as the Chang Jiang

The original Chang Jiang M-1 is just about identical to the M-72

[@Ricopolico]

Too much time spent on "artful" close-ups affording no real sense of these bikes. Almost half the time was wasted on a shot of a speedometer. What's that all about?

[@peterpao567]

...speedo don't work!

[@ericshingles]

the finish on the bikes is CRAP lol

[@davidwillow6933]

Whats worse, Russian copy , or these.?

[@stephencrowther524]

David Willow Russian 1000X better !!

[@jimbryant7422]

The Chinese Chang Jiang is more representative of the 1938 BMW R71. The Russian version, the Ural has a lot of metallurgy issues. The Chinese Chang Jiang doesn't have those issues but has other quality issues. I prefer the Chinese version

[@wallacebrucker1584]

Rode sidecars for years BMW , moto guzzi/`steib, Harley Davidson/ motorvation spyder and the Chinese knock off w/side car.. liked them all. I am 85 now. The only problem i ever had was With the chinese bike . I purchased it from an extremely dishonest man in west virginia. I drove from WIsconsin to st albans wva picked he bike up with my trailer. As soon i got home i gassed it up and the paint peeled off in strips i called. Him. He was quite rude. "What do you want me to do about it" was his answer. The title he gave me was a fake and i never was able to get it licensed or registered. He operated as a specialist in importing chinese bikes.Scooter Bob was his name. Be warned. ⁰

[@31danmaster31]

[@WayneMickel]

This was before Chine was a Communist country?

[@jimbryant7422]

No, China received the actual BMW R71 tooling from Russia in 1957. They then started production around 1961. The Russians got the tooling from Germany in 1939

[@tyrssen1]

Hmm. They LOOK pretty; but Chinese engineering is notoriously BAD. Show me these SAME BIKES one year from now, if they still exist. Bet they're not made anywhere near as well as German BMW's, in either metallurgy or construction. And Japanese construction stands head and shoulders above almost everyone else. Take exception if you will, but check out "Chinese motorcycles" on You Tube; for every one that says their Flung Poo is great, there are a thousand that expose them as junk. Breaking frames, flaking chrome, and engine failures are just the surface. One video compares a Mikuni carb to a Chinese carb, and the superiority of the Mikuni is painfully obvious. Hey, I wish the Chinese well in these endeavors, but they REALLY need to improve their quality, as Japan did in the 60's.

[@alloomis1635]

dead wrong, not fast, not pretty, but this ural copy lasted forever.

[@tyrssen1]

I stand by what I said. No need to take my word for it; my scooter mysteriously died after 6 months, and You Tube is FILLED with videos as mentioned above. Friends in the Philippines tell me the same thing. And, my favorite pic from China is of a building that fell over, while still under construction. Chinese quality is CRAP. The bitch of it is, those bikes ARE pretty. Pretty, they can obviously do; quality construction, they can't. The DESIGN may have been around forever, but I repeat, show me THOSE EXACT SAME BIKES a year from now.

[@michaelwalker1119]

I have to agree with you. The crome bits on the one I helped deliver.( My other halfs son paid £100 for a 2011 125 that didn't work) are plastic with a crome coating. The thing was also rusting like a good un. The problem that they fsce is even if they did build it with top quality materials would you go out a buy a FONG SHEN 750. Got my new bike today lads, what the HARLEY SPORTSTER you looked at, no its a FONG SHEN 750.

[@enwri]

The sidecars are over 350 kg, with what feels like an elastic frame, almost no brakes or suspension. Terrifying at speed. Luckily they top out at about 80kmh. www.changjiangunlimited.com/CJU/750/hist.htm The one shown at 6:00 , it's gearbox explodes just after that video cuts off.

[@motorbikefu5632]

These aren't new, they're classics. You aren't wrong about Chinese quality made for exports at the current point in time, as they're terrible. That's because everyone wants cheap, and China will make stuff cheaper than it's safe to make them. However, classic bikes made for their own market are pretty good. With China, as with everywhere, you get what you pay for. The only difference is China will go even cheaper than everywhere else to the point the bike is almost unusable. If you buy equivalent priced stuff, it's just as good as everywhere else.
