Engines

Two startling things here at the Canton Fair are the number of different kinds motorcycles produced in China, and the fact that so many of them use the same engines.  There are only a few engine manufacturers in the Chinese motorcycle world, and Zongshen is one of the major players.  I wrote about this during my very first visit to Zongshen several years ago when we hooked up with these folks for our 250cc Mustang engine.

I photographed a display at the Canton Fair of the different engines Zongshen manufactures, and it’s an intriguing lineup.   What’s even more intriguing is seeing all the other motorcycles and scooters here and recognizing just how many of them are, at heart, a Zongshen.

That’s it for now.  Keep an eye on the blog, folks.  There’s more good stuff coming!
