Another 8 cylnder option from China but a cruiser

[Taz]

GWM Souo Flat-eight Cruiser

New Chinese motorcycle brand Souo is working on a cruiser based on its flat-eight-powered touring motorcycle, with cylinder deactivation for better sound.

Great article and the Chinese vehicle industry is on a huge roll at the moment.
How it holds up with US import tariffs going logarithmic is still to pan out.

The photos of the full dress tourer 2000cc flat 8 version are in the comments of the link.

There is no replacement for the rune. God I wish I purchased one prepandemic. I almost purchased one for $7,500 in 18. In 21 they were 14k. Now of you can find one $24k.
I should have purchased 3 and sold one of them!

I don’t think this appeals to me. I’m not interested in a Chinese bike.

Ask me 10. years ago if I would buy a Chinese developed and built bike (not just a clone of something else) and I'd have said h3ll no. Removing the geopolitical aspect from the equation, I drove a BYD Seal electric car and I have to say, they really nailed it. So one of these days, they are going to hit a serious home run with one of their non-commuter motorcycles and mopeds, and the world is going to take notice.

As for the Rune comment, I regret not picking one of those up as well. I am normally not a cruiser fan but that one got me.

Geez Kevin, I'm battling with just letters and numbers by themselves, add funny squiggles and magic symbols and I'm going back to my old school log books and total confusion.
Keeping it simple! I could of said 'ball tearing' instead of 'logarithmic' but the imagery would be TOO traumatic!
So just a graphic rather than the vernacular version then.
Substitute 'US Tariff rate' for ''Paper Marks' , tweak the X and Y axis descriptors and we all get the picture!
