Всем доброго дня! Увидел как-то утром субботы в сети мотоциклы Роял Энфильд. Взял билет на поезд и в ночь уехал в сторону ближайшего дилера. В итоге в первой половине дня воскресенья я уже выдвинулся домой своим ходом. Первоначально выбор пал на Роял Энфильд Хантер 350 в черном и белом цвете (+- 460 т.р.) и Роял Энфильд Классик 350 в красном с хромом (+- 550 т.р. из-за допов). Но по приезду увидел и влюбился в бордовый Роял Энфильд Буллет 350 (496 т.р в стоке без допов). Мотоцикл сочетает в себе ретро стиль 60 годов прошлого века и современные (относительно 60 годов) технологии как АБС, инжектор, Евро 5, миниатюрный ЖК дисплей. Максимальная скорость мотоцикла всего 115 км/ч, но для меня комфортная скорость на нем 80 км/ч, что совпало с рекомендациями по скорости на период обкатки. Очень приятный и легкий в управлении аппарат. От дилера до дома я «на одном дыхании» проехал 440 км и сделал всего пару остановок. Широкое и мягкое сиденье позволяет минимально уставать пятой точке. Шикарный звук выхлопа звучит солидно, но не излишне громко, что наверняка оценят жители соседних домов. Такой переходник с Ozon позволяет подключить диагностику к мотоциклу через Евро 5 штатный красный разъем. По youtube научился менять масло с фильтром, воздушный фильтр, сбрасывать мигающий индикатор напоминания о ТО, подтягивать цепь. На Avito достаточно предложений по оригинальным расходникам и аксессуарам. Многое есть в наличии и под заказ оперативно привезут. P.S.: Мотоциклом очень доволен. В моей мото карьере это первый мотоцикл на котором я езжу на работу. Прошу прощения за фото из интернета. Мое фото только в профиле в гараже. Просмотреть полный текст статьи

Всем привет! Довелось недавно побывать на одном из байкерских фестивалей в штатах. В этом сезоне задумался о смене мотоцикла и искал инфу о разных демо-днях всяких производителей. Так и наткнулся на фестиваль, который проходил в штате Нью Йорк, в деревеньке Lake George. Вообще, я там был пару лет назад, но без особой цели, а в этот раз решил взять небольшой отпуск, провести там пару дней и постараться покататься на интересующих меня моделях. Решил поделиться мнением о самом фестивале и о некоторых моделях мотоциклов. Читать дальшеПросмотреть полный текст статьи
