Chang Jiang is the transcripted brand name of motorcycles and scooters manufactured by Nanchang Aircraft Factory in Nanchang, China.

CJ-750

The company is most famous for the CJ-750, which is based on the 1941-1956 Soviet IMZ Irbitski Mototsikletniy Zavod M-72 motorcycle. The Chang Jiang 750 motorcycle was produced in China starting in 1957. It was produced originally for the Chinese military and used an opposed four stroke flat twin cylinder engine displacing 750cc.

Modern production

Currently, Chang Jiang also makes single cylinder two and four stroke motorcycles and lookalike scooters, similar to Vespa and Honda. Today, there are many Chang Jiang motorcycles being used in China. A small number are being restored from old parts and exported.
