- Great Wall Motors has officially unveiled its new motorcycle brand Souo S2000 luxury tourer.
This new Chinese motorcycle will compete with Honda Gold Wing and BMW K1600 as well as Indian Pursuit and Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited.
This touring bike is equipped with the world's only horizontally opposed eight-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2000 cc.
Power figures have not yet been disclosed, but the engine is mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The developers have stated that the use of this transmission technology will provide the driver with smoother and faster gear changes.
It should be noted that flat engines are preferred in large motorcycles because they maintain a low center of gravity and offer better stability.
Great Wall Motors has equipped the S2000 with the world's first three-layer stepped front suspension, which also has a multi-stage adjustable electronic shock absorber.
The frame is constructed of cast aluminum without any screws, very similar to the Honda Goldwing.
Braking is provided by a four-piston Brembo setup.
The Souo touring motorcycle is equipped with heated seats, a windshield that can be raised at the touch of a button, a blind spot monitoring system and a 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports connectivity and updates over the air, as well as voice control, cruise control and electric reverse gear.
The rev counter shows a red line starting from 6,000 RPM.
This indicates that the motorcycle is tuned for torquey low and mid-range performance.
The speedometer has a maximum reading of 240 km/h.
The overall length of the model is 2660 mm, width 950 mm, height 1540 mm, wheelbase size is 1810 mm, and saddle height is 740 mm. Thus, the novelty is much larger than the iconic Honda Gold Wing.
The Chinese luxury tourer Souo S2000 is expected to be cheaper than the Honda Gold Wing.It will cost approximately $28,000.

I road a GL 1800 for almost 200,000 miles. Best machine I've ever owned but I know enough about high end Chinese manufacturing to understand that they are very capable of making high end, quality machines. The days of "made in China, must be junk" are past. Yes they will make all the cheap junk cheap people want to buy but let's remember Japan in the 1960's and how their products evolved from "ugh" to "wow". China is doing the same thing but better and faster. I for one would give it a chance before I develop an opinion on it's quality. If it's half the bike my Wing was, it's worth a shot.
If it was half the price, and you had half a brain. It is a blatant unserviceable rip off of a proven, bullet- proof 50-years-refined Japanese legendary performer. And it's resale value will make you weep.
My first bike a 1979 Kawasaki KZ650SR I wish I knew how hard it would be to find. I believe they only made it for years and the 1979 had the Upgraded cross drilled rotors. Now I'd love to be able to ride that Japanese bike again.
People as old as i am remember when Japanese bikes were considered junk.
you were born yesterday?
I got a Wing but recognize Japanese bikes are not to everyone's taste.
I believe it's Chinese
Yes but Chinese will forever be junk.
Yep. I was riding a 1952 FLHF (the last F denotes footshift, '52 was the first year for that) when the Honda Dream showed up.
I like the exhaust note. Let's leave it at that shall we.
OK without the music , please.
Honda once considered a horizontal 8 for the 'Wing. What do you wanna bet they snatched the blueprint?
Because they always steal some ones else's tec.
Being I'm a motorcyle, Porsche owner and a gear head, I love the idea here. I rode a Gold Wing all over Colorado for 2 weeks and loved that bike. I can only imagine the power you could get from this 8 cylinder flat engine. 200+ would be easy if so desired. Hell, 300 no problem. Great video show casing this thing. Would I buy one. No, I'm a HD guy and love it. Got all I need in a bike to go anywhere for all day riding. But I get this bike. Get it out on the open road I bet if feels great. Somebody will buy it.
Made in COMMUNIST CHINA
I’ll keep my gold wing it’s never failed me yet. Honda best on earth.
It's like the Japanese all over again, laughed at now they dominate the motorcycle world.
I doubt very much they will ever let this bike into our market. Thanks EPA.
Sorry, my bikes been bought & paid for, for 37 years. It'll stay that way. This bike looks like you took parts from every manufacturer and glued them together.
Honda has decades of experience developing their dealer (i.e. service) network, and refining their reliability through outstanding engineering. The Chinese are great when it comes to trying to copy others, but usually fall short on execution. I'll be looking forward to seeing a Souo S2000 on the side of the road someday.
I don’t know about that. Money can buy all of the engineers you want from wherever you want. I love GWs. I own a new one right now and have had them all my life. But this machine seems to address all of the short-comings that Honda has failed to address because they have been the only players in the game for so long. Clearly this is targeted toward an American fan base. I think they are in it for the long haul and I am here for it. I have struggled with Honda to fix some very serious issues that I have had since I bought my latest GW, and it still hasn’t been done. In June it will mark 3 years. 2021 DCT AB. I have a 19 minute video on my channel detailing this, if you are interested.
I'm interested. @@EventHorizonADP
American jealousy is legendary. I hope not to see another American sanction someday
Imagine the fun the enthusiast is going to have restoring one of these in 20 years.
Problem is as soon as you finish your ride you feel like you have to go again.
They took a Goldwing, Yamaha and Victory and made a baby. It will take them a lot of sweat to get people to switch from these bikes. The reliability of the Honda is to no match. I don't know how they will accomplish that. Unless, they will offer crazy full coverage to buyers. What about dealers? Service? Support? parts?
Like BMW K 1600 and. Honda Goldwing had an illegitimate baby.
Just about every new motorcycle on the market contains a percentage of Chinese made components. Plenty of motorcycle companies have whole motorcycles made there and then market them under their own established names. The only difference with this one is the honesty about where it comes from. Replacement parts will be probably be available from AliBaba and will be as cheap as chips.
Chinese industry has been built on the greed of Western companies doing their manufacturing where it is cheapest and putting a big mark-up on the end product. It looks like those days might soon be coming to an end.
Most New bikes have Chinese shit cheap parts in them , as I just bought my last Indian Motorcycle , Harley and the Wing ALL have China shit on these bikes .
Looks good
Ill keep my Ultra Limited thank you.
For the Chinese to gain a foothold in this market sector it has to offer considerably more motorcycle at a lower price tag than the established makes. Then it is a question of build quality and badge snobbery.
I absolutely agree with you.
Never been a badge snob, but questionable Chinese quality isn't just a myth. If it's shown to be a quality made product, I'm all about it if the price and features are competitive. Likely going to be built to break and overpriced though
Its going to be a marketing exercise, but that burble from the flat 8 is going to go a LOOOOOOOONG way into getting people onto this beast.
China is eating our lunch.
I absolutely agree with you, but just like any other market that the Chinese has managed to get a foot hold of, consumers are much more price/quality driven than anything else, offer a great product that works, it’s reliable, and at half the price, people will buy it. Simple equation really, thats how all the Korean cars started, look at them now. Hell that’s even how the Japanese cars started. 😂
That’s said…. A motorbike is one of the last places where I would want to scrimp on quality myself….. not exactly just a router or air fryer 🤭
Will Biden receive 10% per bike sold?
Looks great! I'd definitely wait a couple years (at least) before I bought one though! Let someone else see their good & bad!!
Looks like the big Yamaha tour bike
I wouldn't go near it. Nephew bought a 650 Benelli, it was nothing but trouble.
Love it
your SERIOUS , YOU WOULD BUY A COMMUNIST CHINA BIKE ?
The bigger, the better. Looks are awesome. Price may be unreachable.
15.000 dollar, it is a true bargain
If they can deliver on quality AND price, it will be a winner.
Those who are just now beginning to mature enough for a long distance touring bike, will not be as likely to frown upon a Chinese product.
China? Quality? Based on what China makes, do these words belong together?
@@clay1883 - In fact they do,. But most people more worried with their ridiculous racist blur tend to forget that.
There's very crap and cheap Chinese stuff. And there's high end, higher cost. Where do you thing brands from BMW, to Mercedes, etc. Get many of their high quality parts?!
Why do you think brands like Rolls Royce are being surpassed both in technology and quality by Chinese competition?!! Yep! Curious hmm! ;-)
I like it
Looks good but I love my 2007 goldwing
If it actually sounds like it does in the video, sold!
I don’t see a Harley owners going with this but I think this new brand will take a chunk out of Honda Goldwing sales for sure. If bike magazines critics show positive feed back, it may take off, then parts and service will be the main concern. Long road trips with very few servicing dealers are a main concern.
It’s not clear that the steering wheel is installed in the fuel tank?
Continue.
I don’t understand why China has to try to duplicate every other manufactures products ?????
With all of the technology available why can’t you create something truly innovative and actually build it with QUALITY.
They are very innovative in EV and now it is banned
I've never heard anyone say that they wanted a bigger, fatter Wing...
Are these available in Malaysia?
How soon to arrive at Malaysian Dealers?
Honda should have kept the older Goldwing preload adjustment for the newer Goldwing. With the newer model, you either get not enough or too much preload whereas the older model you can adjust it step 1 to 25. This bike looks more the the Yamaha Star Venture with a Goldwing Flat engine setup. Will be interesting once its release in the market..
Do we really need a 2L bike. I say a 1600 would be a great start into touring world.. quality is KEY here, as is back up service.
Let's wait and see. Hey, I'd love for it to be a good bike... still starting at 28k? That won't be the bike you just saw.
When the meaning of motorcycling is lost
I buy one if they make into a bobber.
But will it have the Engine Cover HONDA forgot to install on all our Goldwings from 2018' thru 24'
They were fairly dependable in suicide drones, one-way trip... !!!
just like disneyland😂chinese too small to ride 😂😂
😆😆😆😆😆
Nourris aux « burger », les chinois possèdent à présent la morphologie des bikers US.
不是每个中国人都长得矮小，中国北方人和欧美人种一样高大，也许在你的国家，你只能看到一百多年前移民的中国人，你的观点太落后了
As we learned during Covid, supply chains broke U.S. production because so many components come from Asia. The iPhone in your pocket came from China. Quality will probably be OK. The problem is the market. I'm a younger (63) boomer and I'm on my final bike. I won't be buying another big cruiser. Maybe an ADV. No one younger than me wants one. Yamaha was smart enough to cut bait after the last Venture. Pick up one of those NOS for $17,000.
Product is only good coming out of China due to oversight. Foreign companies have contracts and boots in the plants ensuring that the quality requirements are met or they don't get paid. In the case of Chinese owned and built products coming out of China, it's always been a toss up.
This old fella will wait until some clever American designs a trike kit for it.
The Yamaha Venture guys
Great engine...❤️
How can you tell ?
@@bikefreak5787 flat sixers are great flat eight even better... Time will tell but the concept is great and gotta' give them credit for developing something new. No easy task. 🙏🏻
Love the sound of v8 or f8😅
To be fare it looks like a good effort but 28gs for a Chinese built bike with no dealership I think not
My 2005 BMW K 1200 LT has had push button windshield for 20 years and one thing this piece of rubbish doesn't, an electrohydraulic center stand. Push a button and it puts itself on the stand and you just step off.
It's a caravan
Competition wise maybe with yamaha venture... at best.
Buy a good roadside towing plan and a big tool kit. And some comfortable walking shoes.
Fahrt so ein Schlachtschiff mal in den Dolomiten, da wird man merken, es wird nix....in den Spitzkehren haut es Dich aus dem Sattel.
it will probably fail EPA. and for 2000cc will be under 100HP and TQ 120. Ragrdless those are not the real pics.
Je suis curieux de connaître sa masse d'un tel engin? Quelqu'un connait s'il y a eu un road test ?
430 kg or something
just like the other chinese bike "lifan" ,you take your "life in your own hands"on this😂
Lifan? You mean that Chinese brand that produce the largest number of motorbikes on this planet?! Curious isn't it? ;-)
As I have said for the last 20 years, China will own the US motorcycle market just like they own the market in many countries already. They can and do make excellent bikes. I bought my first Lifan in 2007 and since then have owned several Chinese bikes, a quad, and a scooter. All have been just as reliable as any Honda I have owned, and I've owned many in 55 years of riding.
I would love to see where this prices in at. Hell, send me one in the US...and I'll ride/display it.
We’d all be better off buying less chicom stuff.
Atleast it’s not a charge for 8 hours and plan your short trips electrocycle.
I really wonder who would buy that
Well, as a long time Gold Wing fan. I would for sure... ;-)
How many miles does it get before it starts falling apart?
Made in China just like Harley lol
I really like it ! For me to purchase this touring motorcycle, it would have to be super dependable & and have a great warranty & they're would have to be a strong dealer network, for servicing continental wide ! 👍
Sue them to the wall$
Sounds like a '55 Chevy 265 with cheap glass packs on it. Do you pronounce the brand like "SOOO- EEE!". Like a hog call?
Chi-Na
Wrong, Lycoming IO-720 has been around for 60 years, and is a 8 cyl. Horizontally opposed engine
Aircraft engine, not a motorcycle engine...
But is it a 2000cc engine? That spec was in the sentence, too.
Where is the clutch lever?
8 speed DCT.
@@bill4562 I don't know what DCT is, mate. Does this bike have automatic transmission?
Yes!!! Automatic

A very good system, if it's reliable as Honda's system is.
Eight speed dual clutch transmission
Still looks like a copy of the Honda Goldwing down to the front forks...come on China, please give something truly unique.
Sieht nicht schlecht aus, aber wird den weg nach deutschland nicht finden.
If the the value for money of the motorbike is good why not .....i am not going to pay 10 or 20 thousand more just for a hd bmw or Ducati logo on the motorbike ........
Waiting for this motorcycle, I love China 🇨🇳
Looks to big to lane split, though
No center stand? I can't say I like the exhaust note, bikes of this caliber should be seen and not heard.
How are you gonna put that thing up on a center stand?
@@FrancoM7747 technique is key. How is one going to service this beast without a center stand, or some or other aid.
@@FrancoM7747 - Center stand. Automatic. ;-)
Truly love this Amazing, Powerful, Impressive, Awesome, Majestic, Imponent and Spectacular Chinese Super Cruiser ❤️!!!, Thanks for sharing 👍👊✌️!!!
says lee wang hoo 🤣🤣
$28K? Nope.
Hiisawa
Huwag bilhin, sirain yan low quality material
Chinese junk ! Try and buy parts in a few years ! Nothing beats a Honda Goldwing , BMW1600 is nice , but the Honda will last forever
A niche product...motorcycles are dying out.
The interest in motorcycles is declining in europe and other non-developing countries....
Not sure who's gonna buy a 400 Kg elephant on two wheels....
A lot of chinese manufacturer don't do any market research prior to build something, they just build it to show they can do it.
chrome and finish will last 3 months, saddle and lids 6.
total package 1 year
Like your mother?
@@vladimirthegreat449 more like how long your dad lasted with you..🤣🤣🤣
@@selleys9150 damn... now thats bad... haha..
An other piece of Chinese crap nice when it is new, but as soon as you need parts it will be a disaster, not worth a penny when you want to sell it.
No, thank you.
Just a wee bit over the top!
Yeah naaa
Unfortunately the cheap Chinese bikes we have here now (that fall to bits and rust before your eyes) will be how people view these
Run away !
Mouais pas vraiment fan du look
On dira une gold qui a pris des anabolisants.
Trop gros trop lourd trop tout.
Je garde ma 1300 Pan European
Italian bikes are junk with myriad of electrical and mechanical problems! They are 3xpensive too.
In my opinion Chinese bikes will be better. Though they have a long way to come to Japanese quality.
WOW MC01 SO ORIGINAL COPIED HONDA NUMBER
As we have seen in China with buildings, bridges and cars; the materials used are of low quality and strength.
This paradigm that Chinese products are of low quality is in the past, today Chinese products are of good quality and competitive with high technology.
Are you stupid? China makes splendid quality products. Low quality is made in the USA. Look at Harley Davidson motorbikes. Always troublesome.
Remember Toyota in the early 70?
Haha. Great wall? Three georgous dam? Chinese space station? Byd? Neo? Huawei? They are now usa and japan killer
Any documentation for your comment, or is it just an opinion of yours?
2000 cc and weighs 2000 lbs.... yikes!
plastic😅
Not everything in china is built cheap a lot of quality stuff comes from there can’t wait to see this beast
$28k... not sure on that price point... I'd be more on the $22k range...
It this a joke?
have a CF moto now that's a joke... sold that chinese shite and bought a Tenere 12 instead built like a tank at 80k kms
No it's real.
descent price 28k
When you take off all that garbage attached to it, then you'd have a nice bike.
