Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears

After wandering for a while, Qin Chuan finally gave up. There were too many bodyguards around the car, so it was a bit difficult to get close. Let's talk about it later if we have a chance.

Follow Xu Hong and walk forward to the next exhibition hall, the KTM exhibition hall. Surprisingly, there are also Taiwanese cars here, which are KTM's motogp tanks, codenamed rc16.

"Brother Fei, why are there factory cars here?"

"Oh, this is KTM's RC16. The purpose of our visit today is also for this car. KTM is selling their factory car. It is said that the price is very reasonable."

Factory car for sale?

what's going on.

Qin Chuan was a little confused when he heard that factory cars were for sale. Can factory cars still be sold?

With such doubts, Qin Chuan followed the large army to ktm's exhibition hall.

"Brother, why were all the gaps in the cars empty when I saw them just now?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer people on the road, Jiang Yue whispered into Qin Chuan's ear and asked.

"Because it's just a shell."

"Shell?"

"Ah."

Qin Chuan nodded. Although the Ducati GP22 parked there looked domineering, but from some details, it can be seen that the car does not have an engine, nor does it have a seamless gearbox with high technical content.

The engine gearbox and the on-board computer installed at the rear of the car have all been taken away before the car is delivered. People will not have the opportunity to come into contact with the core top technologies of these brands.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue nodded secretly and kept it in mind carefully.

When we came to the KTM exhibition hall, we were also crowded with people, no worse than the Ducati one.

It was only when Qin Chuan came here that he understood why factory cars were being sold. What was for sale was a factory car from three years ago, and it was also an empty frame, with only a shell and no engine and gearbox.

KTM has sold its own factory bikes in the past, and will also give away motogp race tickets and driver peripherals.

This has almost become ktm's routine every few years, and this year is no different.

This kind of marketing method is not bad.

The rc16 does not have as exaggerated fixed wind wings as the gp22. It only has two fixed wind wings, but the rest are almost the same as those of Ducati, with exaggerated dual-exhaust exhaust and a streamlined and aerodynamic body. The body is printed with A huge red moo sign.

KTM’s largest sponsor is Red Moo.

It is also a V-shaped four-cylinder engine, but KTM's factory car does not have so many aerodynamic kits. As the saying goes, KTM does not believe in aerodynamics, they only believe in miracles with great power.

This V4 racing car, which is good at straight lines, has more horsepower than the GP22 and is also more violent. No wonder it works wonders with Dali.

In order to participate in world-class competitions this time, Qin Chuan has learned a lot about these top competitions. There are six motogp brands, Ducati, KTM, Aprilia, Benda, Suzuki, and Yamaha.

Except for Yamaha and Suzuki, which have inline four-cylinder engines, the rest of the factory cars are V-shaped.

There are six factory teams, their affiliated satellite teams, and some independent teams, with a total of fifteen teams and thirty drivers.

There is no Kawasaki in motogp. The reason is that although Kawasaki is popular among motorcycle enthusiasts in China, it is at the bottom among the four major R-series manufacturers. Kawasaki also participated in motogp in the early years and developed its own factory bikes, but was beaten.

Back then, when riders needed more than 4 points to secure the motogp world championship, in the first year of the Kawasaki team's participation, all riders combined only scored [-] points.

So I decided to quit and participate in wsbk next door. wsbk does not need to invest a lot of money in research and development. It only needs to modify its commercially available models to participate.

Marketing accounts will tell you that Kawasaki didn’t want to spend money on GP and instead went to wsbk to win the championship.

Qin Chuan carefully checked that this was not the case. Kawasaki was not completely dominant in wsbk. At present, Ducati has the most historical championships in wsbk. Kawasaki has only won a few annual championships in recent years, not even a fraction of Ducati's.

This is despite the fact that other brands are focusing on motogp. In recent years, I heard that the motogp Ducati factory team parachuted a rider to wsbk, and now wsbk has become a pool of muddy water.

The price of this rc16 is 260w Huaxia coins. When he heard the price, Qin Chuan was puzzled that he could be so conscientious.

Although it is just a shell, this shell is worth at least [-] million. This is only the cost price, not counting the research and development price.

The cost of the factory car is 350 euros, about [-] million Chinese dollars, of which the engine and gearbox cost about [-] million, and the remaining shell is [-] million. At first, Qin Chuan thought the price was outrageous, after all, it was just a car. The trolley and the materials could not be worth [-] million. Later Qin Chuan checked and found that the materials were not worth that much, but the craftsmanship and precision were.

The cost of processing the internal parts of a seamless gearbox to a qualified level is sky-high, and not everyone can process it.

The three most technical aspects of two wheels are the engine, gearbox and frame. The first two were taken away. These people came here for the frame.

In addition to the car, there was also a female host on the stage explaining the rules. Qin Chuan listened carefully to the rules.

The general meaning is that except for the bosses of other motorcycle brands, everyone else can participate and pay to sign up, and they will evaluate who will be the winner of this car from these people.

Originally, Qin Chuan planned to take advantage of the chaos to go up and touch it. There were no bodyguards around this three-year-old car, but after hearing this rule, Qin Chuan, who had not originally planned to participate, became interested.

260 million, although I won't use it myself, but it's good to use it as a decoration. Anyway, I made a lot of money.

Put a factory car in the living room? Seems pretty good too.

But this thing depends on luck.
