Report on Motorcycle Study Tours

2016-6-24

At 10 o'clock in the morning, our team arrived at the first visiting store: Shanghai Dong Zhou Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. - Kawasaki flagship store.

There are two floors for selling, the first floor is Kawasaki motorcycle, and the second floor is the accessories. Our visiting started from the first floor, where handsome Kawasaki motorcycles orderly arranged, in which the latest H2R directly attracted our attention. As the ultimate design version of this kind of motorcycle, it is positioned as a model in the race track. This latest H2R motorcycle makes it possible to pursuit free driving. As for the performance, it had broken the limitations of street driving. After understanding it, we finally realize why it looks so handsome.   

 

Louis introduced several Kawasaki hot styles from this following aspects: shape, price, performance and sale. His explanation helped us having a better understanding to Kawasaki. After visiting the first floor, we came to their second floor, where list all kinds of motorcycle accessories like helmet, motorcycle clothing, motorcycle bags, gloves, and even mobile phone brackets for motorcycle are included. Moreover, softness and flexibility of their mobile phone brackets for motorcycle even better than factories which is specialized in that. We were shocked with admiration.

 

After visiting Kawasaki flagship store, we came to another Japanese company, Honda.

Honda's shop lobby is very spacious, and designed in simple style. Rows of Honda motorcycles and accessories products that produced and sold for themselves were listed there. Free drinks and coffee are provided for guests. So we are very happy to stay in the shop a little longer. Honda's motorcycles look not very cool from the view of our three laymen, but Louis thinks they are worth looking.

 

Finished the visiting of Honda, we had lunch at Ling Kong SOHO. This commercial area locates in the Hong Qiao Airport Economic Zone, near the Hong Qiao Integrated Transportation Hub, with more than 800 corporate headquarters in it. It is also an international trade and business headquarters gathering area connecting the entire Pan-Yangtze River Delta region. We four people spent 80 yuan in eating steamed vegetables which tasted pretty good. The overall consumption is at the middle level, and attracted the consumption of surrounding white-collar workers.

 

The third target is Italian Ducati motorcycle.

We were attracted by the strong artistic atmosphere as soon as we entered their store, and their retro, fashionable, young and dynamic motorcycle models are also very cool. The red motorcycle represents enthusiasm. Both their motorcycles, display and design style are all in my taste. Value more on appearance will reduce my requirement of its quality. Although Louis said that it often leaking oil, we won’t lower any preference to this brand. Cool pictures presented!

 

American motorcycle brand Harley is the last brand we visited.

This is an American brand with deep culture. It represents the life style of a part of group people. Exaggerated model but distinct personality it has. Accessories, from the helmet to shoes, necklace, hat, glasses, and even children clothes are all in production. We all shocked. The accessories of this brand are much more than any other brand. On the other hand, their service attitude needs to be improved. 

 

We went back to home after visiting Harley. At the end of the motorcycle day, we can distinguish different levels of motorcycles from laymen, can concern about the performance from only caring appearance, can recognize  the culture and spirit of motorcycle brands from nothing. Louis, thank you so much for taking us to learn classic and see the world.
