I-Yamaha XJR 1300 / Racer

Kwa-Yamaha, balandela izitayela noma babayalele. Njengabanye abambalwa embonini, bayabona ukuthi imvelo yesithuthuthu isiyehluke kakhulu kule minyaka eyishumi edlule. Azisekho izingxenye ezimbili noma ezintathu zezithuthuthu, abagibeli bezithuthuthu namuhla bakhetha izithuthuthu ngokwendlela yabo yokuphila. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izithuthuthu ziyakhombisa noma ziyakuqinisekisa lokhu, futhi ezimweni eziningi kakhulu, amandla ezimoto awasadlali indima enqumayo. Ubumnandi, ubumnandi nobungane kuya ngokuya kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, befuna ugqozi, abanye abagibeli bezithuthuthu babuyela kokwedlule, baba izithuthuthu, lapho izithuthuthu zazilula kakhulu kunamarokhethi anamuhla. Lokhu kulandelwa imihlangano yokufundisana ehlukile. Ngakho-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje, sibonile ukwanda kwesimo somsebenzisi emijahweni ye-cafe kanye namagajethi afanayo. I-XJR iyathinteka, njengoba yahlelwa kabusha emhlanganweni owaziwayo Wrenchmonkees njengengxenye yohlelo lweYamaha's Yard.

Ukufuna Isibonelo Esihle I-XJR evuselelwe, eza ngezinhlobo ezimbili, i-Standard ne-Racer, idonsela ugqozi emiklamweni yama-XNUMXs nama-XNUMXs, lapho ulayini wesithuthuthu wawulula njengezinto zokwakha. Kwakuyisikhathi samabhayisikili amakhulu okuqala, amabhayisikili acwengekile omgwaqo anamathangi amancane kaphethiloli, izihlalo ezinde nokudayela ezinhlangothini. La mabhayisikili manje ayisisekelo esihle sokuphinda enze kabusha futhi lokhu bekuyisimiso esiqondisayo ekwakhiweni kweXJR ebuyekeziwe. Kwa-Yamaha, bafuna ukuhlanganisa lokhu ne-XJR entsha: engeza ubuchwepheshe obusha bokuthengisa esithuthuthu esilula, futhi konke lokhu kuyisisekelo sokulungiswa okuqhubekayo, i-Yamaha ekulungiselela izesekeli eziningi.

Isithuthuthu esikhulu esipholile emoyeni siqhubekile nokukhiqizwa kusukela imodeli yokuqala ye-XJR 1200 yethulwa ngo-1995. Iminyaka engamashumi amabili iyisikhathi eside, ngokombono wezobuchwepheshe sikhuluma ngeminyaka yokukhanya yenqubekela phambili noshintsho. Futhi kukule mephu lapho i-Yamaha entsha idlala khona. Akuyona into eyigugu yobuchwepheshe, kodwa inomphefumulo. Ayinikezi insada yolwazi mayelana nepheya yakudala yezibali eziyindilinga ezinenaliti emhlophe kungemuva elimnyama nezinombolo ezimhlophe. Ayinayo i-ABS (ngisho nokuzikhethela kuze kube ngu-2016), izinhlelo ezahlukene zokushuna nanoma yiziphi ezinye izindlela zikagesi. Ibhayisikili elihluke ngokuphelele uma liqhathaniswa no-R1 omusha esiwuzame ngakusasa, futhi uyabona ngokusebenza ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo ezithathwe imboni yezithuthuthu. Kodwa qaphelani, bafana namantombazane, uma nicabanga ukuthi lena yinganekwane evela enkathini yamatshe, unephutha kakhulu! Umshini ofanele wabashayeli bezithuthuthu bangempela I-XJR ibilokhu ibhekwa njengomshini ofanele wabashayeli bezithuthuthu bangempela.

Injini epholile emgqeni we-cylinder ezine, ayikho into efihliwe ngemuva kwezembatho zepulasitiki, iyagijima. Kulungile, lena manje “enamahhashi” ayikhulu ayisaziwa kangako, kepha yanele ukuzibonakalisa ekukhanyeni okuhle kakhulu emgwaqeni ogudlanayo osogwini ozungeze iWallongong (ikhaya likampetha wesithuthuthu uTroy Corser). Idonsa ngokuqinile ngisho nangesivinini esiphansi, iletha amandla kanye nokuhamba ngokushelela nokubushelelezi. Kwesokudla. Umjovo wephethiloli usebenza kahle. I-XJR ingacasulwa kuphela ngomsindo wokushaywa koshwele ongakhombisi umlingiswa webhayisikili. Yebo, ukukhishwa kuka-Akarapovich (kwimodeli ye-Racer) kungcono kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, ine-torque enhle kakhulu ebekiwe noma ngabe ukuluphi igiya.

Ngisho ne-Yamaha yamakhilogremu angama-240 inzima ngokwamazinga anamuhla, futhi ukushintsha kwesisindo kuzwakala emakhoneni aqinile emaphandleni ase-Australia. Ngakho-ke, i-barbar yesikole yakudala ebanzi ibanzi, njengoba inciphisa isisindo kahle ezandleni. Ukuma komshayeli nakho kufanelekile, kulula. KuRacer, enesibambo sesibambo sesitayela esidala sesikole esidala, umgogodla uzohlupheka ngamabanga amade. Kepha kwesinye isikhathi kufanele ubekezele ukuthola umsebenzi, akunjalo? Ukumiswa kwama-inshlins kuyashintsheka futhi ngokuhlangana nohlaka kwenza ikhithi enhle nayo engaphathwa nge-brake eqinile.

Ngokwakheka kwabo, badlale ngethangi likaphethiloli eliguquliwe, manje elincane ngosayizi, elithinta ngokucijile ngemuva liqonde esihlalweni ukugcizelela izinto zemishini zophiko futhi ngaleyo ndlela liqhubeke ligcizelele isimilo sesithuthuthu. Ukubukeka kwe-Yamaha XJR entsha kushintshe kakhulu kangangoba akusebenzi ngokweqile, ngingasho ukuthi yicafe racer, kodwa nakanjani iyinhlobo ye-Racer eyisibonelo enjalo. Futhi esefektri yefektri, lesi isithuthuthu esihle se-retro.
