Chang-Jiang 750 M1M

The 2009 Chang-Jiang 750 M1M motorcycle is a unique entry in the classic motorcycle category, paying homage to the pre-war BMW motorcycle designs that have become iconic in the world of motorcycling. With its distinctive styling and robust construction, the M1M stands out as both a collectible and a functional ride. Targeted at enthusiasts who appreciate vintage aesthetics paired with practical riding capabilities, this motorcycle offers a blend of nostalgia and modern utility, particularly when paired with its sidecar that accommodates up to three passengers. At the heart of the Chang-Jiang 750 M1M lies a 746 cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that generates a modest 24 horsepower at 4,700 RPM. While it may not be a speed demon—capping out at a top speed of 90 km/h (55.9 mph)—the M1M is designed for leisurely rides through scenic backroads rather than highway racing. The air-cooled engine is paired with a 4-speed gearbox and a dry clutch, delivering a smooth and dependable power delivery. Riders will appreciate the shaft drive system, which offers low maintenance and enhances stability, making it a suitable choice for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts who enjoy a laid-back riding experience. The Chang-Jiang 750 M1M is packed with features that reflect its classic roots while providing some modern conveniences. Notably, the motorcycle comes equipped with both electric and kick starters, ensuring you’ll never be left stranded. The reverse gearbox adds a unique touch, making maneuvering the sidecar configuration easier, especially in tight spaces. With a generous fuel capacity of 24 liters (6.34 gallons) and a consumption rate of 7 liters per 100 km (approximately 33.60 mpg), this bike can take you on longer journeys without frequent stops at the pump. The 6V electric system is a nod to its vintage lineage, enhancing its charm for classic motorcycle aficionados. **
