When it comes to motorcycles, most people think of cruisers or choppers, because of their cool and stylish appearance, or their speed. However, underbone motorcycles also have their advantages. Below are some of the advantages of underbone motorcycles:

  1) Price advantage. A good motorcycle can cost seven or eight thousand, or even more. There's a story of a KTM 950 motorcycle in Jingmen that reportedly cost 68,000. How many underbone motorcycles could you buy for that?

  2) Starting advantage. Underbone motorcycles are not afraid of dead batteries. If the battery is dead, you can kick-start it, and it can even run without a battery, unlike fuel-injected motorcycles.

  3) Weight advantage. Generally weighing around 80 kilograms, they are quite lightweight. If it falls over, you can easily pick it up yourself. I've heard that a CB400 motorcycle, once on the ground, is impossible for one person to lift. Since any motorcycle can break down on the road, the advantage of a lightweight motorcycle is obvious.

  4) Anti-theft advantage. High-end motorcycles are often targeted by thieves, but underbone motorcycles are not worth much. If you forget to bring it in at night and leave it outside, it's likely still there the next day.

  5) Practicality and safety advantage. Motorcycle technology is now very mature. My underbone motorcycle has run over 8600 kilometers and has been very stable. On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2013, I even reached 80 kilometers per hour, which is quite fast. It can easily handle inclines with a passenger, and it's completely sufficient for my needs. I've heard that a CB400 can corner at 160 kilometers per hour, which is too dangerous. Some motorcycles can reach a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour, which is an advantage of high-end motorcycles, but it's too dangerous. Ma Debin was a very famous motorcycle expert who loved high-speed riding, and he unfortunately died on his way to Tibet due to a high-speed accident. Therefore, an underbone motorcycle, running at 40-50 kilometers per hour, is both practical and relatively safer.
