AbstractThe Mana is no slouch - the 839cc V-twin 4V per cylinder SOHC engine offers plenty of punch, whatever the method of mapping and the CVT transmission to maximize engine power at all times. Its ability to gather speed quickly and quietly, is disappointing, largely due to the CVT transmission.This system and its enclosures make the machine Mana calm, a fact which only adds to the disappointment that the landscape begins to fade and the pilot was forced to consider speed. This feeling occurs regularly, no matter which of the two main modes, automatic or sequential-Drive, is used.
The Mana is a shift mid-Motorcycle motor sport mapping patterns and a unique landing gear that allows automatic or semi-automatic control system drive for sports performance.For some purists, motorcycle, scooter is large or small, and, by extension, the two-wheeled vehicles that use similar technology will never be acceptable.For two wheels but fans, including myself, it is the beginning of something exciting and evolving.The Aprilia Mana offers options that are familiar to most scooters, but not to most mid-or large-displacement motorcycles. These options do not affect, but rather strengthen the pilot.
IntroductionAs they say, the opportunity strikes when you least expect it. Back in June, Head Gear Canada, the local Aprilia, had decided a long demonstration race in 2008 Aprilia 750 Shiver so that the evaluation could be done to WBW.But upon entering the large display area and identify both the Passion Red and Black mana motorcycles, a model should not be seen in North America, the short-term has changed. The units have been received and was not even PDI’d.
Later this week, both with the Shiver and Mana ready to go as part of the fleet demonstration, a difficult decision had to be done. But as we had already spent time on the Shiver, Mana became the immediate priority of the test.ikipedia provides many interpretations of the word “mana”. As it applies to 2009 Aprilia 850 Mana, the tricks of magic which is made … and that the substance whose souls are made “will list nicely.
While many large scooter (400 to 650cc) really move and manipulate, bringing big smiles to the faces of their riders, there are still many differences between scooters and mid-displacement sport bikes and these differences tend to segment the user base as well.
However, change is a ‘Comin, and in its own way, the 2009 Aprilia Mana 850 addresses the differences with success. In the eyes of this avid rider, the style sveltely Mana is probably just a foretaste of what we see in the new “hybrid” class - offers real and conceptual, that blur the traditional distinction between scooters mid and large-displacement motorcycles.
FeaturesLike most modern two-wheelers, the manual transmission or otherwise, the Mana has a number of features and controls that are both very logical, and at the same time, unique - all contribute to the pure feature of this bike.The Mana to use an immobilizer system, which has more or less become a standard feature on two-wheeled transport, with key coded for the bike.If none of putting the keys in the ignition are audited by the board system, the immobilizer prevents the bike to be started. Two coded keys are provided with motorcycles, and up to four coded key can be supported by the system.
An important indication as to how the Mana 850 is led mostly failed. But to the eye, the parking brake level, located on the left side, just behind the large tower Sports Gear System cover, is quickly seen for what it is.
When stopped, the driver simply pulls the lever to activate brake and frees before starting or off the motorcycle.Aprilia handlebars are usually innovative, and the Mana 850, more changes have been made.
EngineThe Duel model M290, 90-degree V-twin with four valves per cylinder and a total capacity of 839cc. List of European specifications 76 horses and 73 Nm of torque at the crank.
ControlsOn the right of control, the rocker-type switch serves a dual purpose - it works like motor shut-off in emergencies and when the right side is depressed (with one of the brakes), it works like starter.Just above the red toggle switch is another important element - the control Gear. When the machine is running and idling, this button is toggled to select one of three main ways of mapping engine.
The left control is a bit busy. The center mode provides three-way control mode for the assistance and programming board computer display.A standard turn signal makes the standard left, right, and push to cancel functions. There are two buttons change electronics, located near the left thumb - within button is Gear UP () and the button is outside gear DOWN (-).
The front of the left side of control also houses the passage Button / Switch Beam high and below the helmet opening compartment of control - this release electronic works only when the machine is running. A manual release mechanism is also provided under the passenger seat.There are many lights on the display screen, as the operation of many indicators of the state of the gear system. All lights are grouped logically and clearly seen, day or night. The left turn traffic lights and high beam lights to stay on the left side of the screen.
GearboxSequential with manual or automatic mode, selectable by the user, Sept. ratios in manual mode, three mappings mode engine (tourism, sport and rain) in automatic mode, shift by handlebars or the pedal control the user can switch from automatic to sequential mode at any time.
Fuel Consumption4.10 U.S. gallons, 3.41 imperial gallons, 15.5 liters, with 3.3 l reserve
AccessoriesThere are six lights on the right side. The first four are used to indicate the range rpm when the system is in Sports Gear. The next light is green - the signal from the right hand, while the indicator down, triangle-shaped light is the general alarm.Finally, a fuel reserve Amber indicator light is right above the large LCD screen.
The large LCD screen, and the speedometer is used to display the primary information to the addendum. Most of the standard now the status and control functions are available and a secondary menu allows some very specific information to monitor or adjust settings.
Overall the display and input system is extremely sophisticated and easy to use. A reminder of the parking brake and a hand-stand on the indicator display is beautiful key security.Location, location, location - a topic of real estate, this also applies to the helmet / toolkit compartment strategically located in front of the rider in the sometimes reserved for a fuel tank.
With the bike running, the trunk can be opened electronically via the left handlebar. The trunk can also be opened manually by inserting the key in the back seat, just below lock the rear, reversing the rear seat and access to the lock that opens the recessed compartment.The compartment has a courtesy light on the wall of the left, and a power DIN socket on the wall left rear compartment, estimated at 180 W - perfect for portable cappuccino machine!
Be warned, however, that the trunk of the car leaving open for long periods of time will keep the light burning courtesy to put a drain on the battery.The compartment is very large - designed to keep a standard helmet, a helmet Nolan N102 is a very tight, even if a smaller ¾ or jet style helmet fits very well.If not stuffed with a helmet, the compartment serves to secure luggage storage. The day trips he has taken all necessary measures, including the camera kit.So where is the fuel tank? Well, the plastic shell lies quietly under the driver and passenger seat. The overall capacity is 15.5 l (4.10 U.S. gallons, or 3.41 Imp gallons), including a 3.3L reserve.The plastic tank, accessible via the flip-up seat passenger, a non-vented screw-cap gas and meet emission standards of the tank is considered a sealed unit, with all emissions Gas transported to the evaporative emissions system cage, mounted in a very visible on the front right engine.
Although somewhat invasive and not consistent with the overall style and shape of the Aprilia Mana 850, the system is there for many reasons and should not be altered.
