According to Chinese media, the official retail sales and deliveries of Great Wall's first motorcycle - the Souo model - will start on October 26. Although pre-orders have been open for several months, the exact retail price has not yet been announced.

However, there is an approximate price - 228 thousand yuan or about 32 thousand dollars. The bike is not at all cheap, but it is not a standard model either. The Great Wall Souo became the world's first production motorcycle with a horizontal eight-cylinder engine.

The two-liter engine produces a maximum power of 154 horsepower and works in conjunction with an eight-speed robotic gearbox. The maximum speed of this motorcycle is 210 km/h.

Also, the Great Wall Souo becomes the first motorcycle in the world with a multimedia system based on the SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155. The equipment also includes heated seats for the driver and passenger, heated grips and many other goodies. The dimensions of the motorcycle are 2,660 x 950 x 1,540 mm, and its wheelbase is 1,810 mm.
