Not everyone prefers motorcycles with bulky dimensions and indefatigable power. Some people opt for a compact two-wheeled mini-equipment. Small, maneuverable and, most importantly, inexpensive mini-motorcycles are confidently mastering the Russian market.
What is a mini motorcycle? In fact, this is a reduced copy of a regular bike. Smaller engine size and wheel diameter - that's all the difference. According to some, the size of the wheel affects the stability of the two-wheeled vehicle and its ability to overcome the unevenness of the road surface. However, the wheel, among other things, is an unsprung mass. Therefore, the larger it is, the worse it is for the suspension. A big, heavy wheel is hard to spin, but even harder to stop. Its inertial force is too great.
Several decades ago, compact two-wheeled vehicles caused only a condescending smile. Not everyone immediately appreciated its benefits. But the mini-motorcycle in terms of its parameters and handling practically does not lag behind its large-sized counterparts. Time passed imperceptibly quickly, the passion for megalomania gradually subsided, and funny little "motos" boldly stepped into the big worldautomotive.
The Americans were the first to appreciate all the advantages of mini-bikes. And mini-motorcycles from America migrated to Europe very quickly. In the mid-eighties, Italy occupied one of the leading places in Europe in terms of the number of motorcycles. Production and sales of sports bikes in this country have reached record levels.
The "dashing nineties" have come. They turned out to be dashing not only for Russia. Demand for large motorcycles has plummeted, and to save the day, the Italian company Benelli began producing original scooters. Benelli Velvet mini-motorcycles with a 50cc engine have become a real sensation. Currently, a compact two-wheeled vehicle made in Italy enjoys well-deserved respect. To this day, the sale of mini-bikes in this country is on par with the sale of cars.
But the "progenitor" of mini-bikes is considered to be Japan. The desire of the Japanese for everything extravagant and original was the reason for the creation of a huge number of scooter models, most of which are still popular all over the world.
Honda Mini Motorcycles
Two-wheel vehicles under this brand are known all over the world. In Russia, you can most often find the HONDA Z50J Monkey mini-bike. Equipped with a 0.50 cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine. m, this motorcycle is popular with Russian youth. Built-in telescopic fork and pendulum rear suspension allow you to race hardon our roads.
The Suzuki company is not far behind in popularity. Its Suzuki K50, with its 50cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, has become a regular fixture in small-displacement youth motorcycle racing. Suzuki mini-motorcycles, having a stylish design and surprisingly easy control, were very fond of the fair sex. Comfortable and practical scooters have become the object of desire for many girls who value freedom and speed.
