Izh Jupiter with a Honda engine is a "collective farm", but the motorcycle is "peppy"

Buy motorcycle Izh Planet or Jupiter are not a good idea these days. Firstly, these bikes have not been produced for a long time. Secondly, two-stroke technology is not the best choice in modern conditions. Thirdly, Izh models became outdated in terms of design back in the 70s. But these nuances do not stop enthusiasts. Moreover, Izh motorcycles can bring back childhood. Many people spent their summer vacations in villages or even lived there, and two-wheeled vehicles were available. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find an Izh in good condition. These motorcycles have recently begun to be tacitly considered retro. And it is difficult to find spare parts for them. China helps, but the quality, of course, is “floating” there.

You can go the other way. As a rule, it is chosen by those who do not have finances for Japanese equipment. Or just lovers of the unusual, who prefer to create something on their own. The author of the K / Z channel, for example, purchased Izh Jupiter 5. Having traveled a little, it was decided to change the Soviet two-stroke engine to a Japanese one. The "donor" was an old and broken Honda CBR400. This motorcycle was doomed to go for spare parts, for analysis, but now it is part of Izh Jupiter 5. And the Soviet bike has become much more cheerful. Of course, this is homemade, but the appearance of the legendary bike is preserved.
