2010 Sachs MadAss 125
Brand new and full of contradictions for the year 2010 is MadAss Sachs 125.Does a motorcycle, a motorcycle or scooter? The Sachs MadAss 125.
It's compact and agile, but muscular and aggressive looking wild, sort of like a mad fox. She went with a different animal analogy, wild ass. They also went with a different adjective, "crazy" which means mad or crazy. That, my friends, is how they came up with this fantastic eyebrow raising names.
Are you sure that bike? Well, you can call it the smallest naked street bike you see. You can almost hide in the pack of bikes chained to bike racks. You can also call it the greatest, moped manual shifting. MadAss interesting design a good bit of inspiration from the relatively early, a moped called Saxonette Presto 1939. After 70 years of evolution we have a fresh new design that has built quite a fever following since its inception back in 2004. Here's why:
Mad Genius
Genius of MadAss lies in its simplicity. Weighed in at 220 pounds quick, this bike will make even the most bare red motorcycle. There is no fuel gage, no center stand, no storage compartments, shelves or windshield, it's "motorcycle" distilled to its purest form. Driven by 119.7cc, 4-stroke, 4-speed MadAss machine capable of reaching 56 mph straight from the box. Bone-stock unclear MadAss speed demon, but I found the performance riding fine for navigation Cityscape. I have been told that a handful of inexpensive bolt-on upgrades could push the upper limit to 75 mph without cracking the engine cases.
Of course people like shenanigans will reduce the 85-plus mpg fuel efficiency and possibly some environmental problems. Exactly to what degree, you ask? We will continue to do research on this kit as soon as we arrived. If you are the type of tuning, you'll know that this particular engine design has been around for ages and is suitable for a large number of bolt-on performance parts.
So, back to the topic of fuel, Sachs went on "Mad Genius" theme with a concealed 1.3 gallons fuel tank in the motor tubular, steel frame of the spine. When the tank is empty, you get a warning grumbling (remember there's no fuel gauge) which tells you to switch to one pint of reserves, where you have 20 miles to find a gas station. When you finally pull over and open your aircraft style gas cap to begin fueling you will stand a good chance to hear someone say "Wow! That's cool!" Or "Well, what's that?" People know fun when they see it .
Features a lightweight MadAss, banana swingarm rear suspension, connecting to preload adjustable mono shock, connect to the bicycle frame all in one, narrow plane. Hydraulic front suspension fork is a standard set and one of the few areas for improvement that I find. Hang on to that because I will summarize my improvement list just a little.
A 55W projector beam headlights are stacked straight out of the Streetfighter Bike Builder handbook. I prefer to field a broader view and find a low-beam lighting became a little is not enough for my tastes. This gives me a reason to start changing, I think.
The MadAss rides on a good, sticky set of 16 "tubeless tires mounted on alloy rims (yes, I agree, that gnarly set of knobbies will be beautiful) and stop sturdy thanks to the greatness of the front and rear set of hydraulic disc.
I have not done long-term test for reliability, but my concern was quickly reduced after reading about the U.S. recently coast-to-coast journey from a team calling themselves Dr.MadAss. A 3000-mile journey is very impressive and that's nowhere near MadAss ridden 10,630 miles by motorcycle courier Australia Nick Healey. Sounds like as long as you're doing maintenance, will make MadAss mileage.
Seeing a gift horse in the mouth
Ok, we seem to have sprayed a little more in that first segment. Now let us consider the other side of this coin. What could be improved? The only storage in MadAss is to gasoline. There are several different luggage rack is available now and a good chance that you'll see a variety of accessories for MadAss this spring, but you might want to get a good backpack if you need to bring a laptop.
Next on my list is the front suspension. Really MadAss dips during emergency stop and you'll certainly want to stay away from the front brakes if you find yourself you have to brake in a turn. I suggest asking your agent about the trade front fork oil to something a little more weight; fortunately a fairly inexpensive fix. If still too soft you may consider increasing spring; also not too expensive.
Now ride comfort, which has improved over the original MadAss with a larger, better padded chair, but it is clearly not intended for touring. If you break every hour or so the rider fatigue it should not be a problem.
While the performance was satisfactory, I found MadAss heart went cold. There were moments where I lost the group riding the bike to warm it choked. I was told the problem here is that the carburetor needs "fat" jet pilot and a few adjustments to the air / fuel mixture to fix the problem. I'll play with this cheap option first to see if they make a difference.
Finally, I did see some small electrical glitches. Kickstand safety switch turns off the engine only intermittently. Sometimes I put it and the machine will stop, other times just keep entering. Also, after several days of quickly moving from top to bottom, my neutral indicator light is trapped in the "on" position. This should not matter at all, but they also sounded like a fairly quick improvement.
Let's pin this donkeys
Scooterists not be like that no storage or wind protection, motorcyclists will not be like that it would be more miles per gallon than miles per hour. But if you're new to the world of motorcycle or just need a little light and nimble bike campus, which MadAss fit the bill. MadAss also a good choice for the wheels of two passengers who had been regarded as the scooter back in 2008, but could not imagine myself up one.
Overall I'm happy with MadAss. It's simple to maintain, easy to track, cheap to upgrade and looks great. I personally do not mind testing this bike as automatic, not because I'm too lazy to shift, but as a benefit for the rider to overcome tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Oh, and another advantage is that a small MadAss is forgiving. Studies show that more than 40% of motorcycle accidents involve no other vehicle. The MadAss less likely to "go" from you and if not, you just pick it up, dust it off and kept walking.
