the existence of a fabulous motorcycle in rivers and lakes, which with powerful forces, domineering stature stalwart and full of muffled roar of the deterrent effect, become the ultimate car many “Wulin Xia Shi” dream, it is a Harley Davidson. After a hundred years of continuous transformation, Halley family members become more young, stylish, preserving their heritage at the same time brought out a new vitality, this new one of the following is the author Bobber Harley Street Fighter favorite style.
Street Fighter say this car, we must first look at what is Bobber style. In simple terms, this style first appeared in the late 1920s, its core is the removal of all unnecessary parts, in order to reduce vehicle weight. And after its truncated rear fender sexy will completely exposed, supplemented by increasing the height of the handlebars and seat lowered, creating its unique domineering attitude.
Unlike other new soft tail Harley Street Fighter cars brothers in the shape with a minimalist design, coupled with black chrome coating finishing touch, and the classic spoke wheels and eye-catching huge engine, people look at it you can feel the sheer raw power.
Street Fighter exhibit high to low streamlined shape, creating a confident, assertive, domineering riding posture, and this feeling will you sit moment full of your body.
New Street Fighter seat height is only 680mm, from the point of view of data very close to the people. However, because of their positioning American cruise employs more lenient cushion, so that they can only Knight height of 168 feet forefoot touchdown, and new high bully handlebar is relatively wide, Knight wingspan is not enough, during situ move the car needs a large steering angle would be more trouble.
The new bully headlights follows the classic single circular lamp design and use of more modern wick LED configuration. Not only for their own value but also heightened a little color, but its brightness enough to guarantee safe riding at night.
The new bully simple instrument design, a good interpretation of minimalist. Riding can clearly show the various data, the total mileage, mileage, fuel, speed, gear and time data in a small LCD screen.
Unlike other models Harley handlebar buttons and market its turn signal buttons are provided on the two handlebar, to adapt to new to Harley friend a period of time. And Harley after the turn signal is turned on can automatically turn off after a few seconds, never forget to turn lights off the embarrassment of not appear.
is mounted on Harley Street Fighter new Milwaukee-Eightreg; (Milwaukee) eighth the engine has a large displacement of 107 cubic inches, converted to ml is well known in our 1745cc, four valves per cylinder and a piston with dual ignition, so that more fuel-efficient, and more sensitive response, can also have outbreak 2750rpm 136N.m the powerful capabilities.
in a week’s experience, this Street Fighter powerful low torque performance impressed me. Between a six-speed gears, each gear can give you a strong acceleration experience. This experience is different from the smooth linear acceleration given the strength of the other models, it came out more like a beast, so that there is an endangered hands off the feeling.
in terms of vibration, the new Milwaukee-Eightreg; (Milwaukee) eighth-generation engine to do well, can feel Fengyun large displacement engine life long idle stroke like rhythm, also felt comfortable when riding a Harley than a lot of the old, completely changed my previous knowledge of the Harley. When the speed to 3000rpm felt some of the time will pass out. But in everyday riding, I rarely use to this speed range. It is the most comfortable experience with 6-speedSpeed of between 80km / h to 100km / h cruise, at this stage not only has a higher driving efficiency, the power is on call, the key is quietly let you forget it is a Harley.
In the vehicle weight control, soft tail cars Fighter is the lightest of a vehicle only 286kg. This may be a friend say it lighter! But for Harley speaking, this is quite lighter. Such a change thanks to a new frame design, not only to make more rigid foot, vehicle weight is also greatly reduced.
For the manipulation is concerned, this is a lot of Harley riders criticized one of the reasons. In the past, the impression that Harley manipulation, like the Dragon Ni Lin, is hearts of all Harley Knight can not be touched a sore spot. The new Harley Street Fighter surprises me, though with a large weight 286kg scary, but it uses a low center of gravity design, manipulate them and there is no sense of bulky, but there is a car moving heart calm.
before and after the shock has a relatively tough new Street Fighter style, very supportive enough. People confidence when braking and cornering is adequate, but the front 100 / 90-19; tire configuration after the 150 / 80-16 Street Fighter also allows more flexible, shuttling between the traffic is very light. But fish and can not have both, have a good supportive inevitably lose some comfort, like the over speed bumps or road bumps, we must be psychologically prepared.
Street Fighter uses a single saddle design the overall tone is enough, the perfect interpretation of the true knight is Truth needs no rear seat. However, tell you the truth though full tone, but this cushion a little less hard, in the case of good road performance is good, and if poor road conditions, plus hard hard seat cushioning, it will make your waist withstand greater pressure. So I prefer to use the bully shuttle between the streets and enjoy the fun of the Lone Ranger.
fuel consumption
Street Fighter is still very new to my surprise, these days the city commuter 12.44 l ran 191.9 km, doing hundred kilometers 6.8 liters. Still sounds very scary, but think of it 174I 5cc displacement relieved to know that my Ambassador 650 city commuting but also one hundred kilometers 5.1 liters of it.
Fighter front brake aspects of using a single floating coil pair to a four-piston calipers, the rear brake disc with a single one-way dual piston calipers. Overall braking feel is still very strong, and standard ABS timing of intervention is also very accurate. But, after all, was a dead weight reached 286kg before a single disk configuration, it is suggested not to ride too fast.
inadequate under say Street Fighter, Street Fighter although the new clutch lever operating strength has alleviated many, but the face of stop and go traffic, or operate some laborious. There are 192,800 yuan price was only a blessing in the ABS electronic control aspect, then it is a super low torque, this shortcoming can not be said, for a heavy machine driving experience to a friend, this can certainly he turned cool, but for lack of driving experience of a friend, this powerful low torque really might scare him.
As we are most concerned about exhaust noise, I heard too much “not a soul” “did not feel” “Harley is not the memory of a” sort of sound and I want to say is the era in the development of scientific and technological progress, things of the past can become a classic in mind, but can not justify the denial of modern technology. Write here reminds me of a homemade old movie “Whip”, ending this sentence “braid cut, keep God”, with a horseshoe sound in Halle who did not, but still in the soul and spirit! Just want to feel its spirit and soul can no longer rely on listening, but to really ride to.
