Here are the differences between CFMOTO 1250 and Benelli 1200: Power: The CFMOTO 1250TR-G model, a public-level cruise model, is equipped with a V-twin liquid-cooled engine sourced from KTM, with a displacement of 1278cc and a maximum output horsepower of 142.8. It can be said to be the largest displacement domestic model currently available in China. The Benelli 1200GT uses its own three-cylinder engine, with a displacement of 1209cc and a maximum horsepower of approximately 135. According to official exposure data, the top speed can reach 230km/h. Although the data is not as good as CFMOTO, it is still a three-cylinder engine, which has certain advantages compared to a twin-cylinder engine. Appearance: Compared to the Benelli 1200GT, the appearance of the CFMOTO 1250TR-G seems to be more refined. The split-style front headlight has a huge area, with two "T"-shaped LED light strips inside, giving a very domineering visual effect. It has a strong feeling of Volvo's Thor's Hammer. The integrated headlight of the Benelli 1200 looks much bulkier and has a high similarity to the current flagship cruise bike, the 600GS.

I've been in the motorcycle scene for several years and frequently test ride various models. The main differences between the CFMOTO 1250 and Benelli 1200 lie in power and handling. The CFMOTO 1250 uses a liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine with a robust power output of around 130 horsepower, delivering rapid acceleration and strong push-back sensation at startup, making it ideal for those who enjoy aggressive riding. The Benelli 1200, on the other hand, features an air-cooled triple-cylinder design with about 110 horsepower, offering smoother and more comfortable acceleration, better suited for cruising. In terms of handling, the CFMOTO has a lower chassis and more agile steering, perfect for urban commuting, while the Benelli's suspension is tuned softer, making long-distance rides less tiring. On related topics, the CFMOTO offers better value for money, priced at around 100,000 RMB with more service points available. If you're on a budget but crave excitement, it's a great choice. The Benelli is slightly more expensive, boasting Italian heritage and classic styling, making it a favorite for enthusiasts who appreciate retro aesthetics.

Is it possible to drive a sedan in Qinghai for a self-drive trip?

Qinghai is suitable for self-driving with a sedan. For a self-drive trip, it is essential to inspect the vehicle in five key aspects. Here are the detailed checks: 1. Check if all lights are functioning properly. Ensure that the width lights, low beams, high beams, turn signals, front fog lights, rear fog lights, and brake lights are all operational. 2. Inspect the windshield wipers and wiper blades. Verify that the wipers are working correctly and that the blades fit tightly against the windshield. 3. Check the dashboard. Look for any warning lights that remain lit. 4. Inspect the tires. (1) Check for excessive wear, bulges, or any foreign objects. (2) Use a tire pressure gauge to ensure the tire pressure is within the recommended range. (3) Check the spare tire's pressure and ensure all necessary tools are available. 5. Check all vehicle fluids and indicators. Inspect the brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, engine oil, etc., to ensure they are at proper levels.

Which way to turn the steering wheel when parking uphill?

When parking uphill, turn the steering wheel to the left. Precautions for parking on a slope are as follows: 1. Parking position: Before parking, carefully observe the intended parking spot, turn on the turn signal, slowly approach the parking space (not too fast), and pay attention to the situation in front of and behind the car to prevent scraping against people or other vehicles. 2. Parking slope: If the parking spot has a significant slope, after getting out of the car, find a relatively large stone or brick and place it under the wheel to prevent the car from rolling. When placing the stone or brick, for uphill parking, place it behind the wheel; for downhill parking, place it in front of the wheel.

What are the pros and cons of converting a private car to commercial use?

Converting a private car to commercial use has the advantage of earning money by transporting passengers, but the drawbacks include increased insurance costs and mandatory retirement after a certain service period. Many drivers opt to become ride-hailing drivers, often converting their private cars into commercial vehicles. If you are considering converting your private car to commercial use, careful consideration is necessary. Below are the key points: 1. Commercial vehicle insurance does not cover risks such as fire, explosion, or spontaneous combustion, which are included in private car insurance: Commercial vehicle insurance excludes coverage for fire, explosion, or spontaneous combustion risks that are typically covered under private car insurance. Private cars are used for regular driving and do not transport hazardous materials, making such risks relatively low. However, commercial vehicles frequently transport dangerous goods, increasing the likelihood of such incidents during transit and resulting in losses. The probability of these incidents is significantly higher for commercial vehicles, leading insurers to exclude them from coverage. 2. Commercial vehicle insurance payouts are directly linked to the number of claims, unlike private car insurance: Commercial vehicle insurance claims are more complex, primarily to encourage safer driving practices and minimize risks. For instance, if a vehicle is frequently involved in accidents, the compensation paid by the insurer will decrease progressively. Frequent accidents involving commercial vehicles are detrimental to both the vehicle owner and society, often causing losses to others. To reduce the occurrence of such accidents, insurers may lower compensation amounts. Additionally, for vehicles with a high risk of accidents, insurers may increase insurance premiums as a safeguard for their interests.

What is the emission standard for 2017 vehicles?

2017 vehicles comply with the China V emission standard. The so-called China V refers to the National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. This standard imposes stricter limits on pollutants emitted by motor vehicles, including nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. The full implementation of the China V standard will significantly reduce vehicle exhaust pollution, achieving the goals of energy conservation, emission reduction, and green environmental protection. From a national macro perspective, the implementation of the China V standard will inevitably drive automobile manufacturers to upgrade the overall quality of vehicles, which is of great significance for improving the living environment of residents.

Can ETC be installed at the black dot position?

ETC can be installed at the black dot position, as long as it does not obstruct the driver's view and can detect the toll station's sensing equipment. However, there are also drawbacks to installing it at the black dot area of the windshield—the solar charging capability of the ETC device may weaken, potentially leading to power depletion over time. The working principle of ETC involves dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted ETC electronic tag and the ETC microwave antenna at the toll station lane. This utilizes computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees.
