Chang Jiang

The Chang Jiang 750 motorcycle wasn't manufactured in the Eastern Bloc, but it fits in with the others due to its rugged spirit and brutal simplicity. They were manufactured by the China Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, and are named after the Yangtze River, also romanized as Chang Jiang. The CJ750 was a variation on the Soviet IMZ M-72 motorcycle, itself a copy of the BMW R-71.

The CJ750 is used extensively by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). Military versions can be distinguished from civilian models by a small hole on the back of the sidecar; this was where a Kalashnikov or other assault rifle was inserted to make aiming easier.
