At the Beijing International Motorcycle Exhibition, Great Wall unveiled their flagship luxury touring bike, the Souo motorcycle, which has the world's only 2.0-liter flat-8 motorcycle engine.

Although Great Wall has not officially announced the engine's performance specifications, huge motorcycles often have flat engines because of their lower center of gravity, improved stability, and simplicity of lifting. Remember, this bike weighs 882.2 pounds, or 400 kg.

This engine connects to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The shape supposedly facilitates acceleration from a standstill and enhances the sensation of opulence when traveling on wide roads. A heated seat, power-up windshield, blind spot monitoring, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen run by an automotive-grade 8155 processor with voice control and over-the-air update capability are all standard features of the Souo touring bike.

Unfortunately, most highways in China restrict motorbikes to speeds of up to 50 mph and do not allow them. And then why would you bother to create it? At the motorcycle's unveiling, Great Wall chairman Wei Jianjun expressed his love of motorcycles and enthusiasm for the project.

Great Wall must attract attention and demonstrate its technical prowess in order to enter the motorcycle market, which is largely under the control of a small number of Japanese manufacturers. It would seem that the Chinese company's strategy was to hope that a major technology display would increase its brand awareness.
