The 2023 China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition took place from September 15 through 18 at the Chongqing International Expo Center, and manufacturers of course brought their latest and greatest bikes to display. One of those bikes is particularly stirring international interest so far, though, and that’s the latest from Changjiang.
Changjiang is well known for its sidecar motorcycles, which it’s been producing for decades. Fans of the BMW R71-based vintage Ural and Dnepr sidecar rigs are likely also familiar with the CJ750—and the CJ, in that case, was short for Changjiang. It’s continued to make other sidecar models besides that one, including the Dynasty and Pekin Express. So far, boxers and parallel twins have been the brand’s primary engine types.
