Test Ride Honda CB150R StreetFire
If previously satisfied speeding along CB150R StreetFire circuit Sentul, Bogor, West Java, it's time to bring Honda's latest sport bike on the street. We had activity days with a motor that is sold at Rp 22.35 million. As a result, there are some new experience that should be shared.
Features
CB150R Streetfire is thick with stylish naked bike does look cool, order tralis deliberately exhibited on this bike makes it eye catching. No doubt, we had to repeatedly explain to people who are curious and ask on the street.
Along the way a few days anyway, it could be concluded that the digital indicator on the right panel has good visibility. In the afternoon, although baseball is exposed to direct sun glare from above. In the evening, the highlight of his orange backgroud makes it easy to read.
Rearview mirrors that have a design similar to Tiger and New MegaPro also quite good, stay clear and not vibrate even at high speeds. Innings cap of concern, although the function is no problem, the open-lid design remains simple but appear to be less sporty.
The house is equipped with a key that is very functional magnetic cover, unfortunately, has not automatically shut down when the key is revoked. Still have to move a small lever on the side of the lock. Repot little baseball papa deh, an important safe!
Handling
Slightly repeat impressions riding position on the previous test session. There is a different, if earlier more often crouched body position for speeding at the Sentul Circuit, this time actually in the street in his seat properly everyday driving.
After trying to walk the long distance and long driving time, also feels that the inner thigh feels hampered. This may be due to the design of the back of the tank is too wide.
Even so, the relatively comfortable position of the handlebars. Although not as straight as New MegaPro but not too bent position of the body, nor the body burden pedestal wrist.
Comfort can also be felt boncenger. Rear seat is quite wide and soft, pillion foot angle is not too bent, so it remains comfortable even invited to stroll away. Further to the suspension. When lauched through several twists and turns are smooth bumpy still feels comfortable.
It felt a little hard on the rear suspension, but it feels stable when cornering. Moreover, the rear suspension system supported pro-link, every beat of the accepted tender was muted and subtle rebound.
When halting, front brake calipers equipped two rear pistons and the piston grip feels. Yet if we look around, look out the braking device is no different from that used in New MegaPro.
Performance
Driving through traffic and occasionally try top speed on a quiet street was still fun. The engine was started at 6,000 rpm fierce upward so that it remains responsive due to sizable torque. Honda claims reached 13.1 Nm at 8,000 rpm.
So do not be surprised though on paper the specifications of the new CBR150R is more like discomfort in upper-middle rounds, but the reality is different when used daily. Acceleration round bottom is still quite responsive.
Some of the causes is the final gear ratio of 15/45 is used CB150R, while CBR150R uses gear 15/43. Honda has also revise camshaft or back, especially to rearrange dump valve openings.
In the lap top, digital speedometer still shows balustrades 130 km / h although the motor has not run out of breath. Oiya, 6th gear on this bike more intended as an over drive only. Very long winded intended to save fuel at high speeds.
Satisfied feel the performance, the two times we did measure the fuel consumption by the method of full to full. After going through a lot of congestion and a few times Geber to high speed, the result is 1 liter of fuel can be used for a distance of 35 km. Unlike thin as the manufacturer claims that put the figure 1:36 mile.
