The popularity of two-wheeled vehicles is growing more and more every year. Many residents of the metropolis seriously think about buying a bike. But the price of a foreign product stops, and domestic motorcycles are not attracted. And in vain, the IZH Planet 7 motorcycle is a popular model that is respected by bikers. "Planet" has a number of good qualities, without which an ordinary motorcycle can not survive in an urban environment. Over the years, IZH Planet 7 has attracted many buyers, so it is loved and appreciated.
Look back
The IZH Planet 7 motorcycle is not the first in its ranks (the number index can tell about this). The release of the single-cylinder series began back in 1960, when the IL-56 first appeared. In the future, other series were produced. It came to developing a series called Planet.
The seventh motorcycle has incorporated all the best innovations of the Izhmash company: reliability, appearance, ease of use, economy and much more. It is worth noting that Planet 7 was the last model that came off the assembly line of the Izhevsk plant. On this, the work of the famous concern ended.
Little bit about moto
IZH Planet 7, like many predecessors, belongs to the class of medium-sized motorcycles. The two-wheeled road monster was made not for tracks and fast driving, but for calm and dimensional movement around the city.
The bike absorbed the best from other Moto from the Planet series, but also brought a lot of new things. For example, the transmission has changed, the shape of the gas tank, the saddle, and most importantly, the engine has changed. Now it is four-stroke. The calling card of the two-wheeled vehicle is the spoke wheels, the headlight and the red housing. Izhevsk plant takes care of the modernization of its products, but does not forget about the traditions.
Classic bike
The IZH Planet 7 motorcycle belongs to a subspecies of classical motor equipment. For this kind of transport, some features are characteristic. Every classic motorcycle has a straight saddle, providing the rider a direct landing. It is primarily convenient: you do not have to constantly ride with a hunched back. On the contrary, because of the direct posture, riding a classic does not cause discomfort. A low steering wheel also refers to the features of a classic motorcycle. Hands are held straight, not somewhere above, like a chopper or cruiser. The steps are located directly under the driver's seat.
From this, the legs bend at an angle of 90 degrees. From this arrangement, the limbs do not flow. In general, the classic bike is made for people. It does not cause trouble while moving. The driver does not sit crouched several times. The classic motorcycle is convenient in everyday use, as is the seventh "Planet".
Technical characteristic "IL Planet 7"
Thanks to its technical data, IZH Planet 7 got into the first lines of the rating. Among domestic motorcycles, Planet 7 is the leader. Reliability, power, cheapness - this is not all that helped IZH 7 gain popularity. Special attention should be paid to the power unit that wears IZH Planet 7. The engine has gained some changes. Namely: in the seventh "Planet" a completely new motor appeared, the Izhevsk plant has not yet produced such a motor. The four-stroke gasoline engine, however, again, according to old memory, is a single-cylinder. This innovation has given reliability to the unit.
The four-stroke system is more economical, and also practical. Now do not think about joint lubrication (to two-stroke engines, the lubricant comes with fuel from the gas tank). The four-stroke system solves many of the problems of its predecessors.
The motorcycle began to work in a completely different way, but one cylinder still remained. Its volume has become smaller in comparison with the cylinder volume of the fifth "Planet", but the technical characteristics have remained at the same level. The total engine capacity is two hundred forty-nine cubic centimeters (the predecessor had significant three hundred and forty-six cubic centimeters). The maximum engine power does not exceed twenty horsepower. Yes, a little power is perhaps the only minus of the seventh "Planet". Low speed, small speed limit - only one hundred twenty kilometers per hour. On "IZH Planet 7" you will not quickly accelerate. But do not. But in low gears the engine does not stall, so the IL-7 can overcome even the steepest climbs. Almost nothing remains of the old transmission. Planet 7 is equipped with a new five-speed gearbox. From this acceleration has changed significantly, on the road the bike has become faster and faster.
Fuel consumption
The IZH Planet 7 motorcycle is quite economical. Due to the presence of only one cylinder, consumption is reduced to a minimum. At a speed of sixty kilometers per hour, the bike consumes no more than four liters of fuel.
With increasing speed, so does the need. At a speed of 90 kilometers per hour,
gasoline consumption rises to six liters per hundred kilometers. In urban mode, the two-wheel consumes five and a half liters of fuel.
Product price
Price may vary significantly. It is difficult to calculate the average. The cost determines the place where the IZH Planet 7 bike was going to. The Turkish assembly, the concern in Udmurtia, finally, the Izhevsk plant itself. The country or manufacturer sets its price on its products, so the cost can vary quite a lot. But you can estimate the total price in your mind. An almost new motorcycle will cost no more than sixty thousand rubles.
