ʻO Honda CRF 1000 L ʻApelika Twin

I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua laki wau i ka hoʻokele ʻana i kahi Twin Twin ʻo ʻApelika me kahi māhoe 750cc. E nānā, ka mea i pīhoihoi nui iaʻu. No ka mea, ma ke ʻano he uila o nā motoka enduro a me motocross, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke manaʻoʻiʻo e hiki ke lawe ʻia i kahi motoka nui pēlā enduro, ʻo ia hoʻi, maʻalahi, me nā kūlike kūpono no kahi holo leʻaleʻa a haʻuki hoʻi ma nā ala ʻiliili.

No laila, e kiʻi i ka manaʻo: ʻo ka mua ʻApelika Māhoe ka mua a me ka mea nui he nui a ʻoluʻolu enduro bike hiki iā ʻoe ke holo i ka hana i kēlā me kēia lā, i nā hopena pule me nā hoaaloha mahali raja, a i ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ke kauwela, hoʻouka ʻia i ka piha. he kaʻa. ka mea pipiʻi loa ma hope. ʻO ka mea mua, hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe i kēia kaʻa kaʻa ma kahi huakaʻi maoli, kahi o nā alanui i paʻa ʻia he mea nani, kahi i pau ʻole ai ke ʻano o ka nohona hou i ka ʻakaʻaka mai nā lehelehe o nā kānaka. ʻAʻole loa wau e poina i ka moʻolelo a Miran Stanovnik i haʻi mai iaʻu e pili ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna hoa hana mai Rūsia me kahi māhoe ʻApelika ma Dakar ma kāna Dakar mua, a laila ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia a "bolted".

Inā ʻo Honda kekahi o ka mea mua i hoʻāla i ke ʻano enduro huakaʻi nui (koe ʻo BMW a me Yamaha), ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea mua i hoʻomaha a kinai i kēia inoa kaulana loa ma ʻEulopa i ka makahiki 2002. ʻAʻole maopopo ka poʻe he nui i kēia, akā ua wehewehe mai kekahi kanaka ma luna o ka hierarchy Honda iaʻu: "He mea hana honua ʻo Honda a ʻo ʻEulopa kahi ʻāpana liʻiliʻi loa o kēlā mākeke honua." ʻawaʻawa akā maopopo. ʻAe, ʻo kā mākou manawa kēia!

I kēia manawa, ua hiki mai ka manawa i kū ʻo Varadero i ʻoi aku ka ikaika, nui a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi i kona hakahaka, akā ʻaʻohe ona ʻano like me ka ʻaoʻao genetiko a Endura. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka crossstourer. Asphalt hoʻomaʻemaʻe, kaʻa!

No laila ka leka a ka Africa Twin hou e lawe nei i ka ʻike kūpuna, ʻo ke kumu o nā mea āpau, kahi puʻuwai, kahi ʻāpana, he mea nui loa ia. ʻO nā mea āpau a lākou i wānana ai he ʻoiaʻiʻo. Me he mea lā e noho ana i ka mīkini manawa a lele aku mai ka XNUMX a hiki i kēia manawa, i nā manawa āpau e noho ana ma ka Africa Twin. I kēia manawa, ʻelua mau makahiki o ka holomua, nā ʻenehana hou e lawe i nā mea āpau i kahi pae hou.

ʻOiaʻiʻo! 20 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua manaʻoʻiʻo ʻoe e holo ana ʻoe ma ke kaʻa mokokaikala me nā paleki ABS a me ka kaohi hope huila hope e kōkua iā ʻoe e palekana ma nā huila ʻelua ma nā pae ʻekolu i kēlā me kēia kūlana, ke anilā, ka mahana, ʻaʻohe mea e hana ʻia ... ke ʻano o ka lepo ma lalo o nā huila? I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e ʻōlelo wau: ʻaʻole, akā ma hea, mai pupule e loaʻa iā mākou nā mea āpau i loko o nā kaʻa. ʻAʻole pono wau ia, aia nō wau i ka manaʻo o "gas", a haki wau me nā manamana ʻelua, a ʻaʻole wau e pono i nā mea āpau e lawe i nā paona keu.

ʻĀ, e like me kā mākou i nā mea āpau i kēia manawa. A maopopo iā ʻoe ka mea, makemake au, makemake au. Ua hoʻāʻo mua wau i kahi pūʻulu o nā mea uila maikaʻi, maikaʻi a luna paha ma nā huila ʻelua, a hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo wale e nānā ana wau i mua i ka mea apopo e lawe mai. Maikaʻi mau no ka ʻuhane e lawe i kahi mea me ke kōkua ʻole o ka uila. Eia nō naʻe, no kēia mea ʻelua a ʻelua mau koho: e noho ma ka ʻenekini kahiko me ka ʻole o ia, a i ʻole e pio wale nō. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma ka Honda Africa Twin, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau maʻalahi i nā ʻōnaehana uila a me ka pale, me he mea lā e alualu ana ʻoe i kahi keʻa me lalo o 100 mau lio. Um, ʻoiai, ʻae, ʻike wau i kēlā, no ke aha kēia mea i ʻike ʻia ma mua.

Noʻu iho, ʻo ka manawa kupaianaha loa o kēia hui mua ʻana me ka "mōʻīwahine" ʻApelika hou, ua neʻe nani mākou mai kēlā ʻaoʻao a i kēia ʻaoʻao o ke ala i hana ʻia me nā ʻōpala, e wili nei ma waena o nā māla. He mea hilahila ʻole ia ma ʻApelika, no ka mea a laila e ʻike wau e like me aʻu i loko o ka paradaiso. Akā i kēia mau mea āpau, ʻo ka huhū ka palekana o nā mea āpau, no ka mea, kōkua nui ka uila uila. Hilinaʻi iaʻu, i ka hoʻāʻo mua wale nō, ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻaʻa. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻoʻiʻo iaʻu, e haʻi wau iā ʻoe i ʻelua mau kumu: ʻo ka mea mua makemake wau e hoʻihoʻi i nā motika āpau a ʻo ka lua he kakaikahi loa nā poʻe ʻApelika hou i hāʻawi ʻia i ka nui o ka noi ma waena o ʻEulopa, kekahi mau pilikia , ʻoiai e waiho ka mea kūʻai mai me ka motika ʻole. No laila, no nā kūlana anilā maʻamau, ma ke anapā maloʻo a i ʻole ka ʻiliʻili, paipai wau e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka pāheʻe huila hope (TC) e nā pae ʻelua i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ka papahana 3 a palekana loa a kūpono ka hui ʻana. Inā pono, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau i ka ABS, akā ma ka ʻōpala ʻaʻole wau pono e hoʻopau iā ia. E hoʻopau wale wau iā ia inā wau e hoʻokele ana i nā paheʻe maoli, e like me ka lepo a i ʻole ke one hoʻokuʻu i kahi ma ka kahakai Italia Adriatic a i ʻole ka Sahara.

Hana maikaʻi nā paleki. ʻO nā kalipona Radial me nā pistons he ʻehā a me kahi pā o nā kekaha he 310mm i hana pono i kā lākou hana. No kahi hoʻohaʻahaʻa kikoʻī, lawa ka paʻa ʻana o kahi manamana lima, e like me nā mokokaikala o ke ala loa a i ʻole nā ​​supercars.

Hoʻohui ʻia ka hoʻomaha me ka huila enduro maoli (ʻo ia hoʻi, 21 "mua a me 18" hope) pū kekahi i nā puʻupuʻu o nā alanui ʻino. Inā ua maloʻo ke ala motocross i kēia hoʻāʻo mua, e hoʻāʻo wau i ka maikaʻi e hiki ai iā ia ke lele. No ka mea, nā mea āpau, ke kiʻi kila, nā huila a me ke kumu o ke kau ʻana, lawe ʻia mai kahi kaʻa heihei motocross CRF 450 R maoli. Hoʻololi piha ʻia ke kūpale mua a pono e kū i nā kaumaha ʻoi loa o kahi lele lele loa. ... Hāʻawi ka mea hoʻoweliweli hope i ka hoʻoponopono spring spring preload.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia he kaʻa heihei motocross a pili iki i ka moʻomeheu a me nā koi ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi, noho kila ke kila.

Hana ʻia ka superstructure holoʻokoʻa i ka plastic plastic (e like me nā motocross models), ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻole e ʻili ke kala i ka manawa o ka hāʻule mua ʻana, a ʻo ka mea nui loa, noho mau nā mea āpau i ka kaila minimalist. ʻAʻohe mea nui loa ma ʻApelika Twin, a aia nā mea āpau āu e pono ai.

Manaʻoʻiʻo wau i ka nui o ka ʻike, ka manawa no ka noiʻi, hoʻowalewale ʻia me nā mea hoʻolako i hoʻopukapuka ʻia i loko o kahi motoka pau. No ka mea inā he manaʻo nui kēia hōʻike mua, ʻo ia kēia: i loko o ka Africa Twin ʻelua ʻaʻole wau i loaʻa i kahi hopena kūleʻa e hōʻike ana e hoʻopili mākou i ka wā e hana ana ʻoe i kahi euro heʻuʻuku. ʻO kekahi kānalua inā paha ua lawa ka "horsepower" 95 e nā kūlana o kēia au, ua hoʻopau ʻia i ka wā aʻu i ʻike ai i ka wikiwiki e hiki ai ke hoʻonui i ke ala ʻelua a me ka iliili. Eia nō naʻe, manaʻoʻiʻo wau ʻo ka wikiwiki ʻoi aku o 200 mau mile i kēlā me kēia hola ka lawa o kēlā me kēia motika. Me kēia k modelkohu, ua lawe ʻo Honda i kahi anuu nui a nui i mua i ka pono a me ka hana ʻana. Nānā nā mea āpau ma ka paikikala a hana e noho ma laila mau loa. Hilinaʻi iaʻu, ke hoʻāʻo ʻoe i ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana i nā kiaʻi lima palika koʻikoʻi ma ka huila, nā mea heihei aloha pū kekahi, a i ʻole ka hoʻāʻo haʻahaʻa i ke kope ʻana, maopopo iā ʻoe he koʻikoʻi lākou.

Ma hope o ke ʻano o nā hiʻohiʻona MX, ua kau ʻia ka huila hoʻokele holoʻokoʻa i nā bearings e pale ai i nā haʻalulu mai ka lawe ʻia ʻana i nā lima o ka mea hoʻokele.

Aia ka ʻoluʻolu ma kahi kiʻekiʻe loa, a eia kekahi ma Iapana e loaʻa kahi PhD i ka ergonomics a me ka hōʻoluʻolu noho kaʻa. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "perfect" ʻo ia ka wehewehe wikiwiki a me ka pōkole loa o ka manaʻo o ka noho ʻana ma kahi ʻApelika Twin. Hiki ke hoʻokomo i ka noho maʻamau i ʻelua kiʻekiʻe mai ka papahele - 850 a i ʻole 870 millimeters. Ma ke ʻano he koho, loaʻa iā lākou ke koho e hoʻemi ʻia i 820 a i ʻole e hoʻonui ʻia i 900 millimeters! ʻAe, ua like kēia me kahi kaʻa heihei no ka Dakar, kahi noho keʻa pālahalaha e kūpono iā ia. ʻAe, i kekahi manawa, me nā pīkī "koho".

Kū pololei ka noho, hoʻomaha, me ke ʻano maikaʻi loa o ke kaohi ke hopu ʻoe i nā paʻa lima ākea. Me he mea lā nā mea kani i mua oʻu ke nānā aku, akā ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa koke wau iā lākou. Aia paha he mau pihi hou aʻe ma nā ʻelima ma mua o nā motika Kelemania, akā ʻo kahi ala e nānā ai i nā ʻikepili ʻokoʻa a i ʻole nā ​​ʻano uila (TC a me ABS) hiki ke loaʻa me ka wikiwiki me ka ʻole o nā ʻōlelo kūikawā. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe mea paʻakikī, a lawa ka ʻikepili mai kahi mea āu e kalaiwa nei ma ka odometer a me ka huina mileage, ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka wahie o kēia manawa, ka mahana o ka ea a me ka mahana o ka ʻenekini.

No laila ʻaʻole ʻoe e hopohopo no ka hōʻoluʻolu ma ke ala. Me kahi pahu wahie 18,8-lita, hoʻohiki ʻo Honda a hiki i 400 mau kilomita o ke kūʻokoʻa, maikaʻi loa ia. Maikaʻi nō ia pehea ergonomic. ʻAʻole ia e hoʻopilikia iki i ka noho ʻana a i ke kū ʻana paha, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokumu i nā kūlana wāwae a i ʻole nā ​​kuli kūlohelohe i ka wā e hoʻokele ana, a hana maikaʻi me nā pale aniani a pau. No laila, me kahi aniani nui a me kahi hoʻomaikaʻi palekiko ʻē aʻe. Hoʻomaopopo pū lākou ʻaʻole i komo ka ea wela mai ka ʻenekini a radiator paha i ke kalaiwa i ke kauwela.

I loko o kahi hālāwai pōkole me ka Africa Twin hou, ua hiki iaʻu ke hoʻokō i kaʻu hoʻohana mua ʻana i ka wahie, ʻoiai ka hoʻokele hōʻeuʻeu ʻana, kahi i komo pū kekahi me ka wikiwiki i ke ala nui a me nā ala ʻiliʻili, he 5,6 liters no 100 mau kilomita. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka pololei o ka ʻai me nā ana ke hiki mai ka manawa no ka hoʻāʻo loihi loa.

Ma hope o ka mea aʻu i hoʻāʻo ai, ua pōkole wau a wikiwiki hoʻi e hōʻoia ua hauʻoli wau. He mokokaikala kēia i kūpono ʻole i loko o nā waeʻano e pili ana i ka leo a i ʻole ka manaʻo. Eia nō naʻe, ma hope o ka mea aʻu i ʻike ai, kahaha wau i ka hiki ʻole i kekahi ke hoʻomanaʻo i kēia ma mua?

28 mau makahiki ma hope o ka Africa Twin mua, ua hānau hou ʻia e hoʻomau i ke kuʻuna.
