Engineered by Chang-Jiang for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2007 Chang-Jiang BD 50QT-5A utilizes a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.4 HP (2.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.5 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the BD 50QT-5A measures 90 kg (198 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 316 km (196 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 45 km/h (28 mph).

Use this page to compare this motorcycle by its real specifications, not only by model name. Focus on the details that affect fit, comfort, handling, range and ownership.
Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
