[-P A I N-]

 

Many negative stigmas arise when mentioning Chinese products or counterfeit products from that country. Yep, negative narratives definitely emerge when looking at counterfeits. After all, imitating other successful products is nothing new. Not only four-wheeled vehicles, two-wheeled vehicles are also often targeted. The newest is in the scooter segment. Honda ADV150 replica, appeared in China. Well, the difference is, this KW model is actually built to be more sophisticated and faster than what is imitated.Carrying the name Dayang Vorela. Maybe not a cool name to hear, or at least less commonly painted as a species name two-wheeled. But you need to open yourself up to know this. Because, he looked serious. Not just stealing raw ideas.

Yes, conceptually what ADV has: Skutik adventure theme. It should also be recognized that the body lines follow the Honda design direction. To the side of the panel near the footing, automatically the ADV 150 sticker. But at least, the body is made with several distinctive features. Plus, at first glance, it has a tasteful feel. It doesn't look cheap.

 

 

For example, a large headlight that is applied. Made a la two eyes apart. While each of them has two more reflectors, creating an intimidating impression. Mature. And also beautified with the turn signal decoration and LED DRL on it. In fact, a vent was made right in the middle of the lamp divider.Not to forget installed a high windshield to hit the wind. And of course enriches the typical adventurous characteristics. And behind it sticks a sturdy and thick handlebar. Proportional to the shape.

Then the side and back areas are no less interesting. Everything is formed completely sturdy. And the stoplamp design is quite beautiful to look at. In fact, sometimes it looks cuter and more compact than ADV. Although, the name tagging V groove seems a little too pushy. Regardless, the rest is fine. The black plastic framed reflects the high utility motor.

 

 

Regarding the format of the legs, it seems similar. Use long travel telescopic forks, as well as dual shock breakers with tubes. Of course, the crossbar rims are also wrapped in dual purpose tires. Alias tread rough.

The interesting part is in the furnace and kitchen runway. Just imagine, the instrument panel is fully digital with a color display. Not monotonous. Moreover, he has the ability to connect with smart phones. Translate entertainment things to navigation. Complete. Obviously the fundamental data is listed there, after all the tertiary ones already exist.Do not stop there, the screen also visualizes the front and rear lens capture. Yes, there is a camera on the muzzle of the motorbike as well as the tail. You can see it directly on the display. Including recording if at any time unwanted things happen. Like dashcam. Sophisticated right?Machine? Same use the one-cylinder 150 cc injection format. Also a SOHC type and only two valves. But the output touches 16.2 Hp at 8,500 rpm. This means a difference of 2 Hp from Honda's engine. This gap is far enough for the size of a scooter like this. And also importantly, the tank capacity is able to accommodate 9.3-liters of gasoline which means more than the ADV. Packages like this in China are sold for around Rp. 39 million (conversion). Interesting.

 

 

Next, the trunk is so wide. The alcove behind the seat has a total volume of 28 liters and is elongated. Plus, there is a step, which functions to separate the placement of goods. The helmet will definitely fit in. Even some types of full face. And with that divider, you can easily store a few more essential tools for long trips. No need to stick with a helmet.Now talking about the capacity of the gasoline, it's also enough. The nozzle will continue to fill until the gas station dispenser shows the number 8 liters. When referring to Honda's fuel consumption claim (46.6 MPA), it should be able to cover a distance of 372.8 km.The deck distance to the ground of the ADV is quite high, 165 mm. Far above its competitors or siblings, who average 130 mm. Even though it is high, the muffler position is also bent upward. Which automatically minimizes the risk of water ingress. Yep, at least past a mound of dirt, high speed bumps, or a little puddle is resolved right?The suspension has long travel. The 31 mm diameter telescopic fork records a playing distance of up to 130 mm. And at the rear, two Showa suspensions are equipped with subtanks - separating oil and air. The quality of the damping is claimed to be moderate, in other words it is just right. Supports the agility of the eccentric scooter maneuvers. Just like the front, the rear travel shock breaker is also long, 120 mm. Synergize with progressive springs, not linear.Regarding speed taming devices, Honda installs wavy disc brakes on both sides. The front is flanked by three-piston calipers and ABS sensors. While behind the clamped single-piston calipers without ABS. Yes, it's a bit unfortunate that the brake safety sensor has only one channel.The 149.3 cc eSP PGM-FI engine records an output of 14.2 Hp / 8,500 rpm and a torque of 13.8 Nm / 6,500 rpm. In fact, the base to the bore size and cylinder stroke are exactly the same as the PCX. However, changes to the ECM (Engine Control Module), air filter, and exhaust model have succeeded in giving a better torsional impact.
