I thought for a long time whether to write about this miracle of engineering or not. The new heavy Izh motorcycle was tested on the Formula 1 track in Sochi.
Earlier, this Izh motorcycle was demonstrated to Russian President Vladimir Putin during an exhibition.
The Kalashnikov concern is developing a new model of the Izh motorcycle, which is part of the Cortege project.
I was outraged that they shamelessly trumpeted that they were trying to object to the legendary brand and their engineers created a completely new motorcycle for this. Judging by the design, they took some kind of pattern from the late eighties. B
I have never seen more elaborate motorcycles. Who will ride it, Judge Dredd? This design was relevant 30 years ago, for example, the legendary rotary IZH looked very cool and modern for its time.
Will there be buyers for such a miracle in 2021? Judging by the weight of 510 kg, buyers must be real athletes, or FSO employees, because this bike was developed for them.
The fairings are made of armor, where does this weight come from? The legendary Honda Gold Wing weighs 369 kg. Exactly! I thought for a long time what this IZh motorcycle reminds me of, but it’s the GL1800 F6C Valkyrie.
Handsome guys have covered Honda with scary plastic and claim that this is a breakthrough. Where's your boxer twin? Even an untrained person will notice from the cylinder head cover that there is more than one cylinder, so why lie.
In normal reality, enterprises are actually financed by the state through taxes, but in our country, it’s exactly the opposite, some senseless state-owned companies are created, into which budget funds are senselessly pumped.
They announced that the cost of a new IZH motorcycle would be 4 million rubles, but they went completely crazy there. Once again, 4 million rubles
!
Who needs it for that kind of money? Why pump our taxes into such projects at all; they won’t even pay off in theory. Read also: Buying a Toyota Camrio Beat
If you have a budget, then why not create something that has at least the slightest chance of success. Without government injections, all this will quickly go bankrupt. We have already passed by, the same Izh, Moskvich, ZIL. Nobody needed their products. VAZ would also go bankrupt if billions were not poured into it every year.
The new Izh should be like the KTM 1190-enduro-street-sport-tourist, all rolled into one and will easily travel along all roads and directions of the Russian Federation.

Don’t be upset, no one even thought about releasing it, much less selling it. The idea and goal are completely different. Everything is fine there. And it has long been forgotten. And suddenly you remembered
Honda, Karl, Honda! Some extreme regions... The ideas of the Potemkin villages are alive
Tell me, what kind of music is in the video?
Judge Dryn will travel... there are so many creative people on the Internet... dalba.by
THERE IS NO FANTASY AT ALL, They could have taken the idea from Shilovsky... (see Shilovsky's Girocar).
It sucks, you can only ride this around Red Square, and for a cottage it’s kind of gloomy, only to accompany someone to a funeral
The guys from NAMI also told me that this is a Honda. I’m wondering what they made electric bikes from so quickly? Does anyone know?
“Once again, 4 million rubles! Who needs it for that kind of money? Why pump our taxes into such projects at all, they won’t even pay off in theory.” Well, my friend, you can say that you just made me laugh out loud, in theory they won’t pay off for you, either for me or in another country, but for us those people who are at least someone standing there have already paid off a long time ago. Someone has a Toyota 200. Someone has a police station, well. You should also ask why your taxes are pouring about 33 billion rubles into AvtoVAZ in 2021! will be allocated from the budget to support the auto industry. Hurray, comrades!

If much money was spent, it was on licenses. Nothing is clear about the motor. Two opposed cylinders per liter, if you believe the stated characteristics - it seems that no other brand has such an engine. As soon as the motor becomes visible, it will become clear what and with what and where. Everything that moves in a motorcade should not be light; on the contrary, if necessary, something should accelerate so much and drive so hard into a dangerous target that it will either be split in two or destroyed by a collision. Have you seen what kind of cars move in a motorcade? What is their weight and what engines do they have? And for everyone who doesn’t like what’s domestic, start producing something yourself and you’ll understand that you can’t produce anything other than crap at the bottom of the toilet, no matter how much they pay you for it. Go into the hollow.
there's a Honda with a body kit
Too heavy and clumsy in my opinion. I think we need a more maneuverable and compact bike.
I like it, something new always disgusts people and talks about its unsuitability, which means the path is right! I am for such a motorcycle, but with the right modifications!
Oh, and it will be hard to control, especially with a side wind!
Igor Shak and his Izh 2012 motorcycle concept
Born in Vladivostok, but living in Japan since the age of five, Igor Shak draws simply amazing motorcycles. Last year he presented his first work - a remake of the 2015 Honda CB 750, and this time he decided to please with an even more stylish and thoughtful concept 2012 Izh-1. Both of these motorcycles were very popular at one time, but if Igor had been entrusted with developing and releasing their remakes, then each of them would have become a bomb!
Each of us (some better, some worse) imagines what a Honda CB750 is and how popular this motorcycle was. But a very small percentage of motorcycle enthusiasts remember that in 1929, the Soviet Defense Plant launched the production of the Izh-1 motorcycle with a 1200 cc V-twin engine (23 hp) with a transverse arrangement (in the Moto Guzzi style). The first Izh was equipped with a 3-speed gearbox, cardan transmission and a very interesting frame, the lower rear part of which served as a muffler! Since 1927, the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant has produced about 11 million motorcycles - this is a truly impressive result, which allowed the USSR to be in honorable second place in terms of the number of motorcycles produced (after Japan) until the early 90s.
Given the difficult economic situation of the Soviet Russian brand today, according to Igor, very soon (by 2012) we will be able to assemble modern hybrid motorcycles using high-tech materials. An 850 cc V-twin combined with a 60 kW electric motor should be sufficient for any needs of the average Russian and beyond. Four times more capacious than Li-ion Li2S batteries (based on lithium sulfide) will be located very low behind the engine to lower the center of gravity. An electric motor located on the rear wheel with a built-in two-speed drive will help the internal combustion engine in moments of heavy load, bringing average fuel consumption to 2.9 l/100 km. So, complete with the Izh 2012 motorcycle you will find: airbags (Igor is awaiting a patent for them), a radar for automatically tracking an object moving ahead and the appearance of sudden obstacles, an alarm for the rider through the miraculously vibrating steering wheel handles, an automatic change in the direction of the headlights when turning using an accelerometer, advanced traction control and ABS systems, a night vision camera, GPS navigation, and much, much more. An interesting feature of the new generation Izh motorcycle will be the control of any type of handheld computer through the main screen on the dashboard: be it iPhone, Windows, Symbian or any other. For safety reasons, while the motorcycle is moving, the rider will only be able to answer calls. But as soon as the owner of Izha stops, any media services, SMS, video communication and the Internet will become available to him. The entire set of high technologies (Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, 4G, GPS), of course, will be included with the motorcycle.
The management of the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant can be advised to save money in advance to buy out a patent related to airbags, and they can handle the rest themselves. Well, no one forbids you to dream. But to be honest, the 2012 Izh is a well-developed project, and I didn’t see any shortcomings, except for a very low ground clearance. We are waiting for Igor’s next work - BMW Motorrad 2030, which he promised to present a little later this year.

A motorcycle for honorary escort, which is being developed by the Kalashnikov concern, will go on sale.
But the commercial version will not enter the market under the Aurus brand, under which cars created on the Unified Modular Platform (UMP) will be sold. Since Kalashnikov owns the Izh brand, it is under this brand that the two-wheeled monster will be sold. And not only in Russia, but also abroad.
The motorcycle is planned to be freely sold; it will enter the market under the Izh brand. This brand has been known since Soviet times; now it belongs to our Kalashnikov concern, which is working on the new machine. It is still difficult to say whether the motorcycle will exactly replicate the motorcade. But it will definitely use solutions - design and technical - that are used in the motorcycle for the Cortege project,” TASS quotes the head of the Rostec concern Sergei Chemezov.
The Kalashnikov concern presented the motorcycle concept last year. The declared technical characteristics are impressive: a boxer engine with a power of 150 hp, acceleration to hundreds in just 3.5 seconds, a top speed of 250 km/h. True, it is still unclear how much the motorcycle weighs. The developers indicated a mass of 510 kilograms. If we are not talking about the total permissible weight, but about the curb weight, then the Izh really turns out to be a very heavy motorcycle.
- However, so far Kalashnikov has only published an advertising video dedicated to this motorcycle: no one has seen the prototypes, no riding tests have been carried out. Sergei Chemezov previously said that the motorcycle of the “Cortege” project will be ready no earlier than 2021.
- The fact that motorcycles will again be made in Izhevsk became known in July last year from Sergei Chemezov, the head of Rostec (the state corporation that is the main shareholder of the Kalashnikov concern).
- In August 2021, Kalashnikov presented the Izh electric motorcycle for police and special forces.
- Last year, the concern showed a working prototype of a flying motorcycle.

Moto concept
26-year-old Russian designer Igor Shak has developed a high-tech hybrid motorcycle concept in honor of the famous Soviet motorcycle Izh-1 (1929).
The concept has a V-twin engine with a displacement of 849 cm3. It produces 140 hp. More than 50% of the motor is made of heat-resistant and durable plastic. In addition, the engine has such a layout, which leads to its minimum weight.
The engine operates with a smart variable fuel system that is tuned to minimize fuel consumption. In addition to the conventional internal combustion engine, the Izh-1 concept is equipped with a 60 kW electric motor. It is mounted in the rear wheel along with a small two-speed gearbox. The electric motor is powered by lithium-sulfide batteries (lately only lithium-ion batteries are installed on electric cycles). Presumably in hybrid mode, the Izh-1 will consume 2.9 liters of fuel per 100 km.
Izh-1 is equipped with a six-speed gearbox that can operate in automatic mode, as well as magnetic brakes with a hydraulic backup system. Brakes, gas and clutches are controlled electronically.
In addition to all the advantages, the Izh-1 has a carefully thought out safety system. Airbags are made for the passenger and driver, which absorb up to 50% of the impact.
The concept is equipped with an adjustable radar that works in conjunction with a front-mounted camera. Other systems that improve safety: advanced traction control that automatically adapts to ice, an accelerometer - a system that turns the headlights along with the steering wheel, vibration stabilizer and an advanced ABS system. Izh-1 can operate in three modes: sport, comfort and standard.
There is an HD camera with night vision installed on the front. It displays high-quality images in real time, allowing the pilot to be more aware of hazards, especially at night.
Igor Shak has interestingly thought out how to work with mobile devices that can be controlled through the main display. Izh-1 can work with any mobile OS: iPhone, Windows, Blackberry, Symbian, Android, etc. The system is configured so that you can only answer a call while on the move. When completely stopped, you can use all functions of the mobile device: SMS, video, applications, etc. Of course, such a high-tech motorcycle is equipped with all types of communications: GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and 4G.
We've seen so many concepts at Bike Post. Hundreds. But I have never seen such an advanced and clearly described project. Every detail is methodically worked out and described. I am glad that in Russia there are such talented people as Igor Shak.
