Recently, Xiangshuai has a new car to be listed, named "Cangyun 500", which has been publicly exhibited as early as last year's Chongqing Motorcycle Expo, and the appearance of honda CM500 is highly similar to that of Honda CM500, which caused many people to look at it at the time! Prior to this, some of the models of Xiangshuai were imitations of Harley, most of them were mainly cruise models, but this time they aimed at Honda.
It is not strange to imitate the appearance of foreign brand models, the reason why many domestic brands are keen to do this, is because this practice can not only reduce development costs, but also rub to a lot of heat! Presumably, many people like me have been powerless to complain, because not only the appearance is like the Honda CM500, but even the engine is related to the Honda 500.
It is not difficult for the old driver to see that this engine is ke500 from Loncin, and ke500 is the reverse development of Honda's two-cylinder 500 power platform, so "Cangyun 500" can be said to be "Honda shell + Honda heart", almost replaced the LOGO! If you want to satisfy your own little vanity, you can do it!
So is "Cangyun 500" useless except imitation? Not necessarily! Loncin KE500 engine mechanical quality is quite high, construction as a former military enterprise coupled with Yamaha for many years of cooperation, it is reasonable to say that the process quality of this piece is not a big problem. It is said that the price of cangyun 500 will be around 30,000, and the price of honda CM500 is as high as more than 70,000, spending less than half of the price to buy a "substitute" that is highly similar from the inside to the outside, which seems to be attractive to some consumers!
Of course, more people will feel that riding a high imitation model to go out to play, encountering Moyou will be met with a different look, not to mention the embarrassment of encountering the real CM500! For this kind of highly borrowed foreign brand design model, the tolerance of the domestic market will be lower and lower, after all, today is different from the past, short video platforms will make more and more people understand cars better!
