Hualin ranks 50th in the list of the Top fifty motorcycle manufactures in China, by production.
They posted an 82% gain in production for the first half of 2013.
Hualin manufactures the Changjiang 750cc Sidecar

This company still exists, they still are listed on the Top 50 at rank 45, they have since removed all the CJ models from their Made In China B2B page.

Locomotive Technology :lol8: :clap:
Darn those CJ's are cool, that matt grey one would be awesome. The rest look too much about shiny as TIC :lol8:
They changed names, now they are Guangzhou Linye Electronics & Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.
Guangdong, China.
A internet search on their address, No. 7, Fengying Rd., Economy Development Zone of Conghua, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China brings them up under their new other name. Your contact is Miss Titi, nice huh.

http://hualingroup.en.made-in-china.com/
both have the same address.
They have this model listed, must have been a police model?

This one is actually good looking bike, a solo...no sidecar.

I am not sure if these people are still operating, here is another B2B page for them, it has not been accessed by them since 2010? It is also a free listing.
They have this picture on that page, its date stamped as you can see.

I guess they could be interviewed?
Here is their listed contact.
other then Miss Titi.

here is a guy selling these as restorations, in Beijiang, http://www.cj750.net/about_us.htm
Not too bad, CJ 750 half the price of Ural ($12 000), if I understood correctly. If can!
Say what you like about the CJ but it was definitely a nice looking classic bike. That 70's attempt at modernising the look was just laughable. Horrible looking thing and not surprising they are often seen full of leaves and rubbish rotting away behind police stations.
I dunno, I actually prefer 70-80' design over 60's or earlier design. That modernised CJ looks totally horrible, has gone a bit over the edge, but I still like it.
Dnepr makes these still, evidently they are upgrading their factory currently. The Dnepr have a 650ccc engine.
That's cool, I did read somewhere Dnepr has closed the doors. People seem to think that Dnepr is more military robust than Ural.
The Dnepr hasn't changed it's design for decades the Ural has been made to be more road worthy and to meet demands in the west being heavier and better put together than a utility vehicle, I've yet to see a Ural newer than 2000 on the roads in Russia
DNEPR's current offerings are still rooted in the past, that will likely change, they offer a three wheeled trike/truck. The factory also offers stain glass fabrication, so obviously times are tough. They also are servicing and restoring.
What is Hualin doing in China? What are they selling are they advertising restored bikes out of one of these shops operating in Beijing, it’s just not clear, is there still Boxer engines being manufactured in China?
I am not very familiar with the evolution of the Boxer engine, I understand that all of these exist due to war reparation in that they are based on a circa 1940 technology and add to that whatever each has done since. The DNEPR has a 650cc and the other I believe are all 750cc, but I am seeing different valve heads?
The culmination or advancement of that engine layout is in the BMW R9…
I feel that there is a respectable opportunity here for the development of a model line off that engine, URAL has already proven that through its existence.
I would like to see some really cool solo versions and some engineers working on the engines to make them better. to start off they could make something simple and basic, like this:

Is this the factory in the Ukraine?

This looks to be basically a chinese version of a BMW R75/65?

Concept 90 Motorcycle
I guess they refer to these as the "Plastic Chang-Jiangs", even though their body part are mostly metal.
These are a M15 model,
http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...5J-4-Seats.jpg
I have yet to find any information that would make me think that the Boxer engines are still in production in China.

http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...Seats_.jpg.jpg
Darn that M15 have enormous fron light :D
Notice the sidecar have two seats, rather awesome for a bike: one driver and three passengers :D
BMW kept developing that engine, it culminated in the R90, from what I understand.

The DNEPR 650cc could be made to specs, if it was made well it would last, it has 32hp and 40lbft of torque, nothing compared to modern engines of the size. Ural improved the 750cc’s cam shaft and added an oil filter and EFI. Chang Jiang had two versions of the engine the original and a later version.
In an alternative reality, they could begin with the 650cc and make it to tolerances, if it was made well it could be a starting point to develop it, bring it back and in classic style bikes.
BMW presented a modernized retro concept last year that is very cool, it takes that head light and brings it up to date.

They call it Concept 90...
http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...3ddac009d9.jpg
I would like to see Ural, DNEPR and Chang Jiang work cooperatively, in developing the engines. They all had the engine and never really did anything substantial with it, since it is now 2015 and with all the technological advancements, seems they could just begin now and combine resources to do it. It seems obvious that if there would ever be a Chinese Harley it be called a Chang Jiang. It does not have to be a super bike, it does not have to be state of the art, however it could be eventually. I take some offense and seeing old brand names become nothing more than badges on common copied designs coming out of china or even new version of old designs, it could be done better. Old Brands can be resurrected, but there should be a real link to their history, that engine is a link back and to me does represent a starting point. However that would only work if seriously backed we real talent and resources.
Please do a post of the chinese Jawa copy :D
(Usually I am enthusiastic of new use of "old" technology, but even with all this retro boom everywhere I am bit skeptical about the success of modern air cooled boxer engine. It would be all too good if simple and sturdy back to basics bike would be developed.)

All these bikes have a single-cylinder engine derived from the Jawa "Perak" (a project of the '50s!), with 14 hp...but the diabolic Chineses engineers obtained also a "Sport" version, with petal admission valve, with a little stronger power, 22 hp.

I would like to have motorcycle called an "FU 250"
These China Jawas look actually maybe better than those very old Jawas they are based on. That police Jawa would be rather awesome, if it would have a seat for the passenger.
And....brilliant! Chinese Jawa or MZ copy FU 250 would be the perfect bike :lol8:
None of these are likely in production today, Chang Jiang is now Hongdu Industry Aviation Group.
The engine in the Jawa was a work of art...
