The announcement will take place on May 17
The first live photos of the first Great Wall Motors motorcycle, called Great Wall Soul, have appeared. The photograph showed Great Wall Motors Chairman Wei Jianjun personally riding his motorcycle out of the building.
Teaser images revealed that the motorcycle will come with two round headlights and additional LED elements. Live photos correspond to previously published teasers.
In profile, the new product resembles the Honda Gold Wing and BMW K 1600. The front part turned out to be massive, with a large windshield. The rear seat is equipped with a backrest and luggage compartment.
At the Great Wall stand, the horizontally opposed eight-cylinder engine of its own design, which is equipped with the motorcycle, was presented. This is the first horizontally opposed 8-cylinder engine installed in a motorcycle. It is expected to displace between 1,500 and 2,500 cc. The advantage of a horizontally opposed engine is that it can lower the center of gravity, which can improve handling.
The manufacturer has confirmed that the bike will be presented at the Beijing Motorcycle Show on May 17.
