The unusual Dnepr motorcycle has always been popular. Technical specifications are normal, the appearance does not deter (like many other domestic motorcycles) - what else is needed for a successful "two-wheeled"? That is why not so long ago in every city one could hear the incomparable roar of the Dnieper. But the legends of roads someday let go. The above bike was no exception. "Dnepr" left the road, but forever remained in the memory of true lovers of two-wheeled vehicles.
Story
The release of the Dnipro series began a long time ago. Kiev Motorcycle Plant then only gained momentum in production. Only the released product fell in love with many customers, so the plant designers began to produce more and more new models.
He graduated from the Dnepr series (motorcycle) with a digital index of 11. Yes, Dnepr is a motorcycle, the technical characteristics of which have already been checked by time, has reached the end of its path. Kiev Motorcycle Plant ceased to exist in 1992. Over the long years of operation, Dnepr has made a lot of fans, and the love of customers is the best reward to the manufacturer.
Dimensions
KMZ has never produced compact bikes. The resulting product has always been a bit cumbersome. This can be understood only by landing on the Dnieper (motorcycle). Technical specifications in this part are amazing. What is the huge weight of the bike. Three hundred thirty five kilograms! That is how much weighs the heaviest domestic motorcycle. And this is a significant minus of this moto.
In length, from beginning to end, the "two-wheeled" is spread over two and a half meters. The width is also not small - together with a stroller it takes one meter and seventy centimeters. In height, the motorcycle grew to a meter with a tail. The wheelbase also did not stand aside. It covers one and a half meters.
The problem of the Dnieper lies in one thing - in the side carriage. For some unknown reason, the Kiev Motorcycle Plant produced motorcycles only with eternal side satellites. Strollers not only represent the Dnieper in the light of agricultural machinery, but also worsen many parameters. Weight, and therefore fuel consumption, dimensions, braking distance - all this suffers due to the presence of a stroller.
A bit about motorcycle
"Dnepr" refers to the class of heavy two-wheeled vehicles of the classical type. This kind of moto has its own characteristics. The classic motorcycle must have a straight saddle providing the same direct landing. From this, the rider only benefits. Even posture does not strain your back, so you can easily endure long trips. Also, the Dnieper has a low steering wheel. Hands keep straight and even. The steps are set so that the legs are bent at a right angle. A classic motorcycle made for everyday riding . Therefore, its design does not burden.
The legendary Dnieper (motorcycle) - specifications
"Dnepr" perfectly behaves on the road. What else compensates for some failures, if not good characteristics? The engine deserves special attention; Dnepr (motorcycle) is proud of it.
Technical characteristics of the motor are amazing. At a time when other competitors had difficulty accelerating to a hundred kilometers on their two-stroke engines, Dnipro flew forward, showing off its four-stroke engine. The motorcycle hides in itself two opposed type cylinders. Their total volume is no less than six hundred forty-nine cubic centimeters. These are the greatest numbers at that time.
Motorcycle "Dnepr" - technical specifications (fuel consumption)
KMZ product is largely not economical due to its mass. Fuel consumption is quite large. The gasoline engine, according to the passport, consumes 6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. This is a lot even for such a heavyweight as Dnipro.
