For a motorcycle test is usually removed as far as possible. From civilization and transport and has so much room to drive around unmolested to push the bike to the limit and to overthrow This is because it primarily about power and performance of the bike is in itself, and the possibility of using in daily life is secondary. For scooters are different. You must represent the high end of the practicality and are considered the reference. With them you have to go where it hurts. In the city at the weekend. The questions that are asked are "How well I'll be away from the traffic lights, I XJR will roll over behind me", "I come between the two trucks through or stuck I stay?", Or "I Lie at the first pothole immediately on Papp'n? " Now it should be clear why this Testsmir be transferred.
15 hp and 16 inch
I saw the whole nevertheless positively. The 125cc 4-stroke engine delivers as much as 15 hp. Essential, however, the 16 "wheels, which ensure that the scooter ruts and uneven surfaces to relatively unimpressed. Additionally you is much better in the curve and feels almost like a motorcycle. Is not indeed quite so agile travels but more relaxed and easier than on conventional tires Honeynut Loops format. The difference 10 to 16 can "decide on roads with potholes the size of bomb craters victory or lying down.
105 km / h on the triester
The 15 hp accelerate the Carnaby according to the prospectus to 104 km / h, 105 I have reached on the Triesterstraße. So an honest statement. The way up there is a long one. Speaking of acceleration. Which is a step in order to 125cc engine but competes, he obviously takes a commemorative second. It looks as if the second one with the Gear, start and after a few meters, the first . Insert Perhaps an attempt to reduce the enormous shelter with automatic transmissions. Traffic matches, you will at least not many decide for themselves. Unfortunately the engine under hard acceleration or high speed bit noisy and uncomfortable for the driver. There will not be many people who buy the thing and want a decent spell. So could be a bit quieter.
From the middle
In the city of a race goes anyway only to the next light and because it is important to be able to queue up front. Narrower than any bike, because you can make your legs even parallel to the base plate, winds its way through the narrow scooter vehicle convoys. Progressing through narrow passages buttons you can feel again the advantage of larger wheels, because the scooter responds less wobbly and even a snail's pace remains stable. One is at the end of the red phase of always being first.
Stop means Stopppp!
Almost cut me off my feet, the braking performance of Carnaby. For the unusual delay for scooters two 260er discs are responsible. So you can not just remain standing in time, but also have a lot of fun. Consequently, then the tire wear will also be unusually high. ABS, there is currently not even an option. That one when braking not the chair slipped, but the grippy material makes on the bench. This is also a heat-resistant cushioning. So the seat is properly hold and provide maximum comfort.
Storage seeks Topcase
Under the seat only fits a half helmet, a glove compartment for small items like cell phones, gloves, etc. is missing entirely. However, there are the so-called "Easy Bag" in the accessories catalog, which can be installed as a replacement glove compartment.
Yet, who travels on a scooter not only eat an ice cream, but now and then to bring the snack for the employees in the office or do some small purchases, which is a top case will not be spared. The structure of this is already in place. For year-round driver also is the "Hot Cover" available that uses the waste heat from the cooling fins to warm her feet.
2990 Euro (Austria, 200 cc version. 3499 -) go absolutely right for this scooter. The build quality is high and the Japanese models is in no way inferior. The performance is OK, the comfort and the best brakes in the class exceptional. The booming 125cc market has grown by another model, and the selection so again a little harder. In Austria, the Carnaby available in black and silver.
