Refiew CBR 250 vs Ninja 250 vs Hyosung GT250R Motorcyclist Version

If in my previous posts have discussed the comparison of the Kawasaki Ninja 250 and Honda CBR 250r, this time I quote directly from Motorcyclist magazine which is an American magazine. There is an interesting discussion this time, because this is a discussion of the closest competition is the third motor. Among the three motors, all the specifications do not seem much different from those in Indonesia.

Things we need to peel first is about the ergonomic, see picture below:

Ergonomic CBR250

Ergonomic GT250R

Ergonomic Ninja 250R

Of the three different motors, the Hyosung looks more sporty than the others. Reach hand in GT250R is the most 76.5 inches long. Then the CBR with a range of only 67.3 inches looks more friendly for Asian riders who have on average a small range, and Ninja 1cm longer than the CBR is also still quite friendly to ride rider rider-asia.

For bending the legs, back GT250R looks very Racy at an angle 89.1 with the shortest distance of 44.5 cm. while the CBR and Ninja has the same seat-footpeg that is equal to 47.5cm, but the CBR is wider angle of 91.6 degrees.

If you see a dyno comparison of the results conducted by Motorcyclist, then we can know that the CBR 250r motors are the most torqi at the bottom and middle RPM. At three thousand RPM, torque has been above 10 lb.ft, while the GT250R is at number 10 lb.ft and Ninja are under 10 lb.ft. . . With this it was concluded that the CBR could dominate the drag on low-mid rpm to 400 meter than others. Dyno check below. . .

For top power, held by the Ninja 250R with a 24.6 figure bhp@10.250 rpm measured at the rear tire. And Ninja has other advantages with the lack of vibration at high RPM. According to Motorcyclist, the CBR engine 250 will begin to vibrate the rear view mirror and began to be felt in footpage at 10,500 rpm RPM start.

Toyota Camry is a car produced by the upper middle class and up to six generations. Lately the car from the country's sunrise back at enjoy doing in American society according to the percentage of domestic sales, announced cars.com 

"Of the various cars on the raft in the United States, for example, assembled using spare parts from some other parts like many American cars are assembled in Canada.In a global economy, it is not easy to determine how well the car in America, "said Cars.com editor. 

"Meanwhile, non-American manufacturers have opened factories in America. Our index of multiple sources can be used as a guide to guide their purchases. "He continued. 

Japanese car manufacturers also have other models that occupy the top 10 selling U.S. car market, namely the Chevrolet Malibu (position 3), the Chevy Traverse (position 8), Tundra (9), GMC Acadia (10), and Honda is in two places top 10 . 

With such conditions, then the Toyota production requires a higher level and requires great American workforce to meet the total sales is higher, so the Camry remains a very popular vehicle.

Waw. . . Manufacturer Motor Sport Mechanics Were Girls.

It may still be a general assumption that a woman does not deserve to do men's work. But this is surprising. . . Really unusual thing for one of the sport bike manufacturer Ducati. How could I not. . . Ducati has a female mechanic, and this for the first time Ducati hire a woman as a mechanic. Hannah Johnson was the first female mechanic who could take care of a Ducati. Hannah Johnson who is now 26-year-old has been officially certified as a Master Technician Ducati mechanic. You do not believe? Yahh. . . May have been mechanical woman to a motor sport there is only in the movies only. But this turned out to be real evidence that women deserve equated with men.

Hannah Johnson grew up in families who never have children of a man. "I grew up in a small family, and dad never had a boy. So guess who helped fix bikes and old cars in the garage?, "She said.

"I'm from small-are used to fix something, I have a good teacher. I do not know how to damage the goods. I only know how to fix it, " She added in the video that was launched autoevolution.

Well. . . So Hannah Johnson, when a woman in general accustom themselves to primp and go to the salon to beautify themselves, this is contrary to the habits of Hannah Johnson. He did not commonly painted nails, and only used oil that is usually attached to the nails. "I'm proud of it, that's what I do, I'm not the type of girl who sits behind a motorcycle," she said laughing.

Hmm ... what does not, Hannah's personal ride is a Ducati Multistrada. "Being a motorcycle rider gives the freedom I need," he said. Besides Multistrada, Hannah also has various other Ducati motorcycle in his garage, Ducati 1098R or a Ducati 848. Hannah is already five years as a mechanic in Ducati Miami and reportedly he was just promoted to Service Manager.

At the first level, the mechanics are only allowed to perform routine inspection, do the set-up a new motor or learning system specifically Ducati.
