First Ride Honda CB150R Streetfire

After being introduced to the Jakarta Motorcycle Show (JMCS) 2012 ago, Honda CB150R Streetfire really curious. In addition to the appearance of thick naked bike style, also a question about the performance.

Continue holding the steering wheel, the typical naked bike riding position is very pronounced. The position of the body is not too bent, pedestal agency also does not burden the wrist, quite comfortable!

Once the ignition is turned, the speedometer design that looks sporty enough to steal the attention. The combination of analog and digital can be seen here. Information on fuel meter, engine temperature, speed, penujuk time, neutral gear indicator, signal, do not miss the typical injection engine malfunction indicator lamp. The only thing that appears is the analog tachometers, engine speed with this style is more readable.

Push the electric starter, not too gahar exhaust roar. Induced vibration machine is also quite smooth. With the vehicle unladen weight of 129 kg, just feels light when it starts running.
