The "X" on the title can be replaced by "month", "season", or even "year", as for which word will fall? It's up to the competitors, or Wuyang-Honda itself.
The day after the press conference, Wuyang-Honda invited various media to conduct test drives on several new cars. Due to limited time, only a simple experience of the new car can be made. If you need to know more detailed assessment conclusions, you will need to wait a little longer.
<h1>Dove Road 190, "Tide Coffee" attacked</h1>
Simply put, this is a "hipster" street car with retro elements, and the overall shape of the vehicle has a certain similarity with the Honda CB125R/300R. For the current domestic market, it is indeed refreshing.
Of course, there is still a certain gap between the line design of the whole vehicle and Honda's proud "Neo Sports Cafe" shape. The Doji 190 looks very attractive at some angles, but some specific angles (such as fuel tank lines) seem to lack a little coordination; unlike Honda's new CB-R car series, it can almost look good and attractive without dead ends.
Flaws do not hide Yu, comprehensive evaluation, Dove Road 190 is definitely the current domestic retro small row of street cars to bear the face value.
The new Dove Road 190 features LED new retro headlights, which is one of the highlights.
Tail lights and turn signals are also LED lamps, and the appearance is beautiful enough.
The instrument adopts LCD digital display LCD screen + mechanical pointer meter design, which can display a variety of data such as gear, time, speed, mileage, speed, etc., and its display effect is very clear.

As one of the highlights of this model launch, Wuyang-Honda has equipped both 190 models with ABS systems. Although it is only the status of the previous round of ABS at present, this is an exciting upgrade after all. Of course, it is not thorough enough.
The front and rear brake systems are made of Nissin calipers, the front brake is single disc, double caliper + ABS, and the force feedback when ABS intervenes during the test drive is not bad, neither abrupt nor hysterical. For the safety of cycling, there are still more guarantees.
The rear brakes unfortunately failed to be equipped with the ABS system.
The ABS processing module is placed under the side cover and is in a semi-exposed state, which I think is somewhat imperfect; the module of the Burst Eye 190 is also in the same position, but its side cover can effectively cover it.
The "CB" on the side cover is almost exactly the same as the "CB" on Honda's latest street car, with a good focusing effect.
The PGM-Fi EFI system was not missed.
The engine displacement is 184cc, which is the same as the previous generation of Storm Eye and Mammoth. At this press conference, Wuyang-Honda did not particularly emphasize specific parameters, but according to the official micro-release data of CBF190R, its maximum power is 12.4kW and the maximum torque is 16.3N.m; if the National IV series 190 engines are all the power data, it is undoubtedly a commendable upgrade - the power data of the previous generation 190 engine is 11.7kW and 15N .m, respectively. The specific performance of the new power platform, now can not be blindly said, or look forward to the follow-up of the model evaluation of the Eight Classics.
The front suspension is a 37mm handstand fork, the rear suspension is a central shock absorber, and the Storm Eye 190 should be the same part.
The swingarm is designed with a square steel tube, and the new Storm Eye has improvements on the rocker arm, but the Dove Road still follows the design of the previous generation of Storm Eye.
The stout stainless steel exhaust pipe is very imposing, and I personally prefer this shape.
The exhaust sound is video below:

Vintage seat cushions, styling and color palette.
The lower part of the seat cushion is still very neatly made.
Dual throttle lines, beautiful rearview mirror styling, and Nissin caliper pumps are all pluses.
The Dove Road 190 features spoke spokes, a new vintage type inner and outer tyres (110 for the front wheel and 140 for the rear wheels), which has better passing performance and comfort for complex road conditions. If you change to an ordinary vacuum tire, you can only choose an aluminum alloy spoke wheel; and if you use a strip wheel with a vacuum tire, then the excessive cost will not match the positioning of the whole vehicle. Therefore, it is really difficult to have both fish and bear paws.
In terms of riding experience, the impression left on me by the dove is that it is comfortable, easy to ride, the power output is smooth, the mid-speed zone has a good torque performance; the setting of the riding triangle is also very decent, and it is a multi-purpose car that can be driven for a long time. Whether it is urban transportation, leisure travel, or long-distance motorcycle travel, it has good adaptability. More importantly, the coordination and properness of "people and vehicles in one" will indeed make riding better.
