The large cruiser S2000, from Souo, a brand under China's GWM (Great Wall Motor), is expanding internationally. An unusual model pairing a 2.0-liter flat-eight engine with an 8-speed DCT, it's priced at 189,800 yuan in China.
A flat-8 at 2.0L, and an 8-speed DCT no less — I actually gasped looking at the spec sheet. A flat-8 in a motorcycle is a madness that goes beyond even the Gold Wing. The era where a Chinese manufacturer builds a big-displacement tourer this unhinged has arrived. I want to peer into the actual engine and stare at it all day.

A flat-eight motorcycle engine has to be a rare layout worldwide.
189,800 yuan feels surprisingly reasonable for this kind of niche model.
Fitting an 8-speed DCT feels like a direct carryover of car-maker tech.
Didn't expect a GWM-affiliated brand to put out something this offbeat.
An 8-cylinder giant cruiser feels more about buzz than practicality.
A 2-liter flat-eight motorcycle is just an insane thing to exist at all.
