First Ride In The World , All New Honda CBR 250 RR Facelift Indonesia

Auto News - In the all-new CBR250RR testing session the first time in the world (26/9), which was centered on Bridgestone Proving Ground in Karawang, West Java, AUTOMOTIVE could explore deeper riding mode features on this two-cylinder motor.

"This is the first 250 cc sport bike made by wire throttle and riding mode," said Tetsuya Kudoh, Chief Engineer of Honda R & D Co., Ltd. Motorcycle R & D Center is accompanied during testing.

In total there are three riding modes. To be applied riding mode, it must use the throttle-by-wire technology or gas that can no longer use a regular rope and replaced potentiometers. The selections are Comfort, Sport and Sport +. Selection of this mode simply by pressing the buttons in the left handlebar, can be done while the origin of the position of the gas in the closed position. Like what is the difference?

COMFORT
We begin from Comfort, this mode is intended for beginners or when the road is congested, because according Kudoh-san is one of them because the input Jakarta jammed road conditions.

In Comfort mode it turns the engine response has a compression ratio of 11.5: 1 is so it seemed too late, as if loading in advance and the increase in the engine turns too slowly. So suitable for driving in traffic jams, let baseball because baseball laurels make wild. Suitable also for beginners, when the tandem or when the road is slippery when it rains.

SPORT
Next try the Sport mode, which is the default condition when the motor is turned on. In this mode, the engine response to the construction of the cylinder head valve DOHC 8 is noticeably linear or natural gas in accordance with openings. It felt relaxed fit worn while cruising on smooth roads.

SPORT +
Last try Sport + mode. Well this is the most preferred mode by AUTOMOTIVE, why? Because the engine capacity of 249.7 cc's so very responsive, the engine turns faster skyrocketed get stuck at 14,000 rpm!

Suited to the conditions during testing at the circuit, because out of the corner so much faster because of the response given more fierce than throttle. This mode is also definitely suitable for use when needed rapid acceleration, for example when it should overtake large vehicles.

With the Sport + mode on a straight track, which opened just 600 meters, the top speed that can be achieved is quite high, 167 km / h. "In fact, was 171 km / h, but unfortunately Go Pro helmet baseball record, so there is no authentic evidence," regrets one tester AUTOMOTIVE.

If only, the length of the straight track about 900 meters as straight Sentul certainly much more than that, given the breath is still long.
