Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere Memang Menggoda Banget

GRC - Di Indonesia, Yamaha memang hanya memiliki satu lineup motor dual sport, itupun harganya tergolong sangat mahal, yaitu Yamaha WR250R. Namun, di pasar internasional khususnya Brazil, Yamaha memiliki begitu banyak motor dual sport, salah satunya yang amat sangat menggoda adalah Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere. Memang apa yang membuat Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere begitu menggoda?

Pertama masalah desain mas bro… Sebagai motor dual sport, desain Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere ini bisa dikatakan nggak pasaran. Desain Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere nggak bergaya seperti motor enduro yang khas dengan tangki kecil, jok sempit, hingga lekuk-lekuk body yang meruncing, melainkan mirip seperti kakaknya yang berkapasitas lebih besar, Yamaha XT660Z Tenere. Desain Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere yang seperti sekarang ini sebenarnya sudah cukup lama dan nggak tersentuh refreshment, namun tetap terlihat menarik dan nggak membosankan mas bro!

Walaupun desainnya nggak seperti motor dual sport kebanyakan, Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere tetaplah motor dual sport, tapi mampu memberikan tingkat kenyamanan yang lebih baik terutama untuk perjalanan jarak jauh. Nggak percaya? Coba lihat saja motor ini memiliki tangki bahan bakar yang besar dan menggelembung dengan kapasitas mencapai 16 liter. Bandingkan deh dengan motor dual sport konvensional yang desainnya seperti motor enduro atau motocross, rata-rata hanya punya kapasitas bahan bakar 6-9 liter saja. Kemudian beralih ke bagian jok… Desain jok yang dimiliki oleh Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere ini tergolong lebar yang disertai lengkungan seperti layaknya naked sport konvensional. Jok seperti ini sudah bisa dipastikan nyaman digunakan untuk perjalanan jauh, baik itu untuk rider maupun boncenger. Tidak lupa Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere punya shroud besar menyerupai fairing dan windshield tinggi seperti motor yang digunakan pada balap Rally Dakar!

Lalu, apa lagi yang menarik dari Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere? Nggak perlu neko-neko mas bro, mesinnya! Yupz, mesin Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere itu identik dengan mesin Yamaha Scorpio 225 yang dulu pernah beredar di Indonesia. Mesin sederhana dengan kapasitas 249 cc SOHC, 4-stroke, 2-valve, dan berpendingin oli ini mampu mengeluarkan tenaga yang sangat lumayan, mencapai 21 HP/7.500 rpm dan torsi sebesar 21 Nm/6.500 rpm. Mesin tersebut dihubungkan ke roda dengan transmisi manual 5-percepatan.

Dengan karakteristik desain dan mesin seperti itu, rasanya Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere nggak cuma cocok dipasarkan di Brazil mas bro, tapi juga di Indonesia. Mau dipakai di perkotaan, jalan jarak jauh, hingga menghajar track off road di pegunungan, spesifikasi Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere sudah lebih dari cukup kalau dihadapkan pada kondisi geografis di Indonesia. Mesin Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere yang sederhana juga membuat perawatannya nggak ribet dan relatif murah. Apalagi Yamaha Brazil mengembangkan Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere dengan filosofi sebagai motor yang bisa digunakan sebagai kendaraan harian, untuk perjalanan dan wisata, yang menawarkan kenyamanan, murah, dan memiliki kualitas yang bagus dalam melibas kondisi medan off road, namun tetap nyaman digunakan di jalan aspal. Menarik banget kalau Yamaha XTZ 250 Tenere diproduksi dan dipasarkan di Indonesia. Dibandrol Rp 50 jutaan pun saya rela deh merogoh kocek untuk membeli motor ini!

Honda CBR250RR Dijual Lebih Murah dari Kawasaki Ninja 250 ?????

Konsep Honda CBR250RR

GRC – Mustahil harga Honda CBR250RR lebih murah dari Kawasaki Ninja 250? Itu mungkin ada benarnya, walau ini hanya sekedar opini. Tapi ini bukan opini sembarangan. Sebab rumor hangat yang bermunculan sejak dulu mengisyaratkan kalau sportbike dua-silinder itu akan mengusung fitur-fitur yang sangat wah. Bahkan lebih WAH dari kedua rivalnya yang sudah ada.

Seperti diketahui saat ini Kawasaki Ninja 250 dijual Rp 58,2 juta OTR Jabotabek untuk varian standar. Sementara varian Ninja 250 SE LTD dibanderol Rp 61,9 juta dan yang terakhir Rp 68,6 juta untuk Ninja 250 ABS SE LTD.Misalnya yang paling dinantikan adalah hadirnya suspensi depan upside-down, swing-arm banana berbahan alumunium, fitur Riding Mode + sistem Throttle Ride By Wire, lampu LED dan rem ABS (Antilock Braking System). Fiturnya sih “WAH” tapi berapa harganya? Bahasa Jawanya “PIROAN”? Nah ini dia yang mengganjal tentu soal banderol harga. Mau dijual berapa tuh CBR250RR?

Kawasaki Ninja 250 ABS SE Limited Edition harga Rp 68,6 juta

Yamaha R25 lebih murah lagi yakni kurang lebih sekitar Rp 53 jutaan, beda daerah beda harga soalnya. Adapun untuk New CBR250RR, media otomotif luar negeri sempat menebak harganya di kisaran 83 jutaan.

Buat gambaran saja, berapa harga suspensi upside-down milik Yamaha Xabre? Sekitar Rp 5 jutaan kata YIMM (bukan 15 juta) dan itu buatan Kayaba (KYB). Untuk alumunium banana swing-arm dan Riding Mode + Ride By Wire milik CBR250RR itu tentu kasmin gak tau harga ecerannya, mahal itu… hehe

Leasing siap membantu anda berapapun harganya. Ngoahahaha….

Memang Honda tak pernah menjual produk serupa dengan harga yang lebih murah dari kompetitornya. Dan itu fakta sejak dulu, apapun jenis produknya pasti lebih mahal walau hanya beda 50 ribu. Yang kasmin tau sih begitu saat pelisiran ke dealer H dan Y. Pelisiran doank sih gak beli, cuma liat SPG-nya. hahaha

Ohhya tebakan kasmin Honda CBR250RR dua-silinder akan dijual di rentang harga Rp 65-80 juta dengan beragam fitur yang WAH itu. Semoga tidak melesat, ehh meleset. hehe…#cumaopini

Mesin Bermasalah, Husqvarna Recall TR650 Terra dan TR650 Strada

GRC - Brand motor asal Austria, KTM, telah menerima laporan yang mengindikasikan bahwa mesin motor dual sport Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan supermoto Husqvarna TR650 Strada menggalami stall alias mati mendadak. Jelas ini menjadi permasalahan serius, apalagi berurusan dengan safety, sehingga KTM melakukna investigasi untuk mengetahui penyebabnya.

Seperti dikutip dari autoevolution, hingga kini KTM Amerika Utara masih melakukan proses investigasi dan tidak memberikan banyak data mengenai permasalahan engine stall pada Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan Husqvarna TR650 Strada. Hanya saja, berdasarkan dokumen NHTSA, Magneti Marelli menjadi salah satu pihak yang disebut dalam permasalahan ini. Surat resmi dari KTM Amerika Utara menyebutkan bahwa kedua tipe motor Husqvarna menggunakan komponen sistem manajemen bahan bakar buatan Magneti Marelli yang berasal dari Italia.

Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan Husqvarna TR650 Strada yang mengalami masalah engine stall diproduksi pada rentang antara 1 Januari 2012 hingga 31 Desember 2013. Pada rentang waktu tersebut, Husqvarna masih dimiliki oleh BMW Motorrad, tapi kemudian dijual kepada KTM pada awal tahun 2013, sehingga sangat mungkin motor yang mengalami masalah diproduksi ketika masa transisi. Sekarang KTM sebagai pemilik dari Husqvarna berupaya mencari solusi yang cepat terkait dengan permasalahan ini. KTM pun sudah menghubungi Magneti Marelli dan BMW Motorrad untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut mengenai motor Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan Husqvarna TR650 Strada.

Kenapa sih kok permasahan engine stall membuat motor di-recall? Ya jelas saja mesin yang mati secara tiba-tiba bisa meningkatkan risiko terjadinya kecelakaan, yang berujung pada cidera, kematian, atau kerusakan secara material. Di Amerika Serikat ada sekitar 1.015 unit Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan Husqvarna TR650 Strada lansiran tahun 2013 yang diperkirakan terkena imbas permasalahan engine stall. Kemungkinan juga Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan Husqvarna TR650 Strada yang disebar ke berbagai penjuru dunia dengan rentang produksi di atas juga mengalami masalah.

Nah, setelah Husqvarna resmi dimiliki oleh KTM, produksi Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan Husqvarna TR650 Strada dihentikan. Selama beberapa tahun Husqvarna tidak memproduksi dan menjual motor dual sport maupun supermoto dengan kapasitas 650 cc. Sebagai gantinya, pada tahun 2015, Husqvarna meluncurkan dua produk baru, yaitu Husqvarna 701 Enduro dan Husqvarna 701 Supermoto. Keduanya tidak lagi mengambil basis rangka dan mesin yang sama dengan Husqvarna TR650 Terra dan Husqvarna TR650 Strada, melainkan menggunakan platform yang sama dengan KTM 690 Enduro R dan KTM 690 SMC R.

Honda Pamerkan Line up Big Bike di IIMS 2016

GRC - Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2016 bisa disebut sebagai pameran otomotif yang fokus pada kendaraan roda empat atau lebih. Intinya pameran mobil sih. Tapi brand motor terbesar di indonesia, Honda, berencana ikut ambil bagian dalam pameran ini mas bro. Tentu saja Honda nggak akan memamerkan motor-motor kecil, melainkan varian big bike yang harganya setara dengan mobil!

Nah menurut rilis yang diterima oleh Adventuriderz.com dari Astra Honda Motor (AHM), mereka bakal memboyong seluruh lineup big bike di IIMS 2016. Memang AHM punya big bike apa saja sih? Saat ini varian big bike dari AHM tergolong lengkap kok mas bro, ada Honda CB500F, Honda CB500X, Honda CBR500R, Honda CB650F ABS, Honda CBR650F ABS, Honda CBR1000RR SP, hingga Honda NM4 Vultus.

Apakah cuma itu saja? Ternyata nggak juga mas bro. Selain deretan big bike yang sudah disebutkan itu, AHM juga memamerkan Honda RC213V-S, sebuah motor yang dikembangkan dari motor prototipe di MotoGP dan diproduksi dalam jumlah terbatas di plant Honda yang berada di Kumamoto, Jepang. Tidak lupa motor baru All New Honda CBR150R juga turut diboyong untuk memeriahkan IIMS 2016.

Tertarik melihat atau membeli berbagai produk Honda? Rasanya nggak salah kalau mas bro datang ke IIMS pada 7-14 April 2016 nanti. Apalagi booth Honda tergolong sangat lega dengan luas 128 meter persegi lengkap dengan konsep premium. Pasti enak banget deh buat mantengin berbagai produk Honda, termasuk Honda Ladies yang siap berpose di depan kamera mas bro sekalian.

“Kami ingin berinteraksi langsung dengan suasana yang nyaman di booth Honda. Motor impian masyarakat kami hadirkan sebagai persembahan khusus bagi para pecinta otomotif di Indonesia yang berkunjung di pameran IIMS 2016.  Motor sport terbaru, Honda CBR150R sebagai produksi anak bangsa kami hadirkan untuk dapat dimiliki secara langsung pada pameran ini,” ungkap General Manager Marketing Planning and Analysis Division AHM A. Indraputra.
