These motorcycles personify an entire era. The debate about which one is better has not subsided since their release. The YouTube channel "Motorcycles of the USSR" conducted an experiment in which it compared two models in perfect technical condition.

The first criterion is appearance, there is approximate equality. A person who is not versed in motorcycle technology is unlikely to see the difference. The design is traditional for that period. This is a typical road model, designed for two passengers.

But if we touch on the technical part, the differences are fundamental. The planet is equipped with a single-cylinder unit, unpretentious in operation and extremely easy to maintain. Comfortable speed on the highway - 80 km / h.
