Izh Planet - which motorcycle in the series turned out to be the best
The most popular motorcycles in the Soviet countryside were Izh, Minsk and Voskhod. That's only if the last two models are rather youth or "bachelor", then the first was considered universal. Just in case, we will inform you that the post-war Izh motorcycles were single-cylinder, honestly copied from the German DKW. They were even produced on German equipment. Although, the same Izh-49 was seriously improved. Then the two-cylinder Jupiters appeared, but the Planet remained a glorious and reliable successor to German traditions. Therefore, they loved the latter in the village - the motorcycle turned out to be successful, hardy and undemanding to maintenance. There was one surprise for all the "Planets" - it's a skittish kick-starter. He provided such a return that he beat off the foot.


The planets are different - from the first to the fifth model. The manufacturer even released versions with liquid cooling and separate engine lubrication. True, unlike the "Jupiter", they did not become small-scale. Judging by the available information, several copies were released. And there were diesel Izh Planet. They also did not go into mass production. The author of the channel “OUR auto moto ANGAR” will tell about Planet motorcycles.
