#Wittels- Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Bodied from Africa Twin and heart from CB 500. Hengjian's new release has pulled the design and engine from Honda. It is a Chinese copy with the fusion of both models, known as HJ500-8 or Dahaidao 500. The Asian brand does not spare any details when replying. Even the iconic GS symbol of BMW SUVs has been placed on the bodywork. However, it has its own qualities, such as a capacity for 40 liters of gasoline, which give it a range of a thousand kilometers. It is a cheaper option and with limited power, compared to its twin, the Africa Twin, but with enough quality to seek positioning in the global market, including the European one, at the cost of certain modifications due to copyright. HJ500-8 FEATURES The HJ500-8 features a twin-cylinder engine based on Honda's CB 500. It has water cooling, gasoline injection, 471 cc, four valves per cylinder and a maximum of 48 hp at 8,500 rpm and 43 Nm at 7,500 rpm. Its hallmark is two gasoline tanks that add up to a capacity of 40 liters. Storage superior to that of almost any motorcycle with this cylinder. The chassis is conventional steel, but of comparatively high quality. This enduro motorcycle has a steering damper and an aluminum swingarm at the rear. Its braking system is made up of radially bolted calipers and a ring of ABS sensors. The motorcycle is equipped with a 7-inch color screen with touch operation. The monitor displays the speed and gear of the 6-speed gearbox, tire pressure, weather, coolant and ambient air temperatures, an altimeter, and engine oil quality. In addition, it has two cameras mounted on the front and rear to record traffic. According to some media, the cost of this vehicle will be around 4,800 euros.
