Victoria Avanti typ 106

With sixteen years my dream would have been probably so a small rassige bee, and I can still understand also today June gene, which straight such a moped would like. Many vibrate the head and ask: What is that actually? This question is easy to answer. That is hobby, hobby; that is the same, as if or other no longer completely young gentleman from pure passion a Porsche or a SL drives super the 300. Reliably comparisons limp, but in both cases a tendency to the Rassigen is present. I do not want to speak here for the sport moped, but it cannot be negated also; completely simply, because it already populates the roads in considerable number.

It was just now stated that it concerns with a sport moped like the Victoria Avanti a kind piece of lover, then the usual yardsticks may not be valid for a route vehicle with a test. Finally a test is to offer primarily at the vehicle interested worth knowing.

Each beginning Avanti driver should place itself before the purchase the question of conscience whether he would like to really drive a sport vehicle, and whether in after four weeks owner joy the narrow steering wheel and the running tank will be still more important than perhaps a porter for the brief case. Who can say here by full conviction, into the Avanti exactly the correct for itself found.

A outstanding road-hugging property is expected by a vehicle with expressed sporty coinage automatically. The Avanti is able to fulfill also highranking expectations in this direction. However it is to be here directly stated that the straight switch of the bicycle requires only a certain habituation, before it can exhaust this small Sportmaschine in their possibilities fully. The reason lies once in the fact that one must get accustomed only to the new seating position (under a narrow steering wheel) and to steering geometry (the one the motorcycle driving similar driving fashion caused). Correctly driven, the machine hardly more, steered “separate to a large extent into the curves, pressed “. First of all firm knee conclusion at the tank, secondly however an appropriate body feeling, that requires the necessary inclination in the curves and the adhesive strength

The behind wing seen from right. By pressing down the chain spanner, which at
bearing surfaces push away, the rear wheel is reset, the tension of the chain is
thus adjusted.

The tire to seize must. On this one changes oneself over drivingquietly very fast, which takes place purely by feel. Then however result an optimal road-hugging property and curve firmness, which cannot practically at all be exhausted in the context of the possible speeds fully. The machine can be deeply down-bent, neither the framework nor the suspensions bounces thereby laterally. From this stiffness of the chassis results the safe driving feeling, which permits the necessary inclination for fast cornering also with sand routes and wet-with-rain way cover. This road-hugging property cannot be shaken also by bumps and bad road surfacing, if with correct air pressure one drives. To these the Avanti reacts very sensitively, and to two tenths atue plus or minus with jumping or the swimming of the tire is immediately answered. The air pressure for the back wheel, indicated factory-installed as 2,1 atue, proved with me as somewhat too highly; the Avanti jumped on bouldering rather unpleasantly. After discharging 0,2 atue it lay however gold correct. My own weight amounts to for instance 75kg; Drivers the substantially fewer weight into the saddle bring, can perhaps still another tenth atue less.

The carburetor is protected by a cover plate. For removing 3 slotted bolts and a rubber covering must be removed.

The wrists, on which the body weight pushes away, are stressed by the narrow and above all deeply lying steering wheel rather. In order not to let this load become during longer trips the gate route, it is necessary to bring the steering wheel position into the optimum situation. To aim at is a situation, with which the wrist is tilted neither laterally nor in the height; the hand is to lead rather in the natural extension of the arm to the steering wheel. To allfar postin the back seats worsens drivingquietly only; the knees must be able to take correct conclusion at the tank in each case. A further improvement of the seating position would arise in any case as a result of being certain foot speeded, but the legislator a bolt here put forward.

Here the clutch play is adjusted. At the end of the ground course one sees set screw and nut, under it the clutch lever.

If one lets a two-hundredweight - a man sit by way of trial on the saddle of the Victoria Avanti, then one sees the rear wheel guidance had with astonishment, what long spring travel. One understands then also, why this rear wheel rocker is not to be brought separately with the worst impact hole to piercing. Fortunately one does not pay this convenience with an hart suspension, since the well selected feather/spring identification a soft causes a responding of the shock struts. A further improvement could be here probably only obtained by the installation of a hydraulic absorber.

This first-class chassis are equal the Victoria Fullnabenbraker. I know it ago from earlier Victoria tests, am however again and again surprised, how softly they seize and which delay values with them are reached with only small energy expenditure in hand and foot. The front brake is sufficient also for sharp brakings perfectly.

That is very important, the straight this sport moped, which should a firm seat required (with that the feet on the pedals remain firm), as few ones as possible with the feet is braked. A good driver will use the front wheel brake as main brake.

The broad radiation headlight results in an excellent light, which looks for both in range and side radiant emittance their-same in connection with the 15 Watts plant. One does not only come unfortunately into the benefit this good light. Debt to it is the chrome retainer of the front wheel shield, which lies exactly in the light cone and dazzles thus the driver so unpleasantly, which is forward substantially disturbed the view. There are only two possibilities of the remedy: Either the handle is settled, or it is painted, so that it cannot reflect no more.

The behindnabe is equipped with a knockout spindle, although this would have been not at all necessary with the unsolicited chain. The wheel development is however in any case simplified thereby and can be mastered in very short time. Completely satisfactory against it do not tilt-change; less, because the machine to jacking up must be quite raised, but primarily, because by the small distance of the stand legs the conditions on bad floor mat are rather uncertain.

The front rocker of the Avanti. For cleaning the brake and for the lubrication of the speedometer drives the cover of the brake housing can be decreased.

We come to the engine: It is supplied alternatively with two or three-course transmissions, and unfortunately the test moped had only one two-speed engine. I am however the opinion the fact that for Avanti driver practically only the three-course engine is applicable because who is so sportily adjusted, has straight to many scolded his fun, which one should not withhold from him also under any circumstances. The two-speed transmission knows a rather large leap between both courses up. This is easily digested however in no way disturbing felt, because the engine is so flexible, that it the leap from first to the second course. So one can in the second up to for instance 15km/h falling, and with accelerating the engine pulls immediately without jerking, above all however

Under the seat the tool container is, at the rear shield a carrying handle. The chain is taken off unfortunately only from above.

accelerating up to the maximum speed through. If one charges for that the first course reaches up to the 30km/h border, then the evenly said appears still more impressive. The scarcely translated first course brings a outstanding mountain paste ability. 22% are also with a somewhat heavier driver in any case still in it. For the good torque of the engine it speaks that also the second course creates still upward gradients up to 14%. Straight one with this engine, which was very with high engine speed and reacted to the quietest tail wind with higher number of revolutions, becomes the quiet running of the Victoria engines pleasantly apparent.

Even with full power are missing rattling/clinking and vibrating, which become so annoyingly apparent with some mopeds. But it did not appear to me so quietly, as for instance the Vicky engine. Not that the Avanti would be a Radaumacher, that would be an exaggeration. But in the upper numbers of revolutions it has already a healthy clay/tone.

I probably with good reason accept, that the Avanti driver gasoline consumption hardly interested. Nevertheless it is here briefly mentioned: Constant full power driving with much accelerating in the first course brought a maximum consumption from 2,2 litres to one hundred kilometers. Likewise it was however possible, with only to some extent reasonable driving fashion with 1,5 - 1.6 litres fuel to get along. With the giant tank, which seizes approximately 8.5 litres, one is thus filled up covered up for 400 to 500 kilometers of distance covered.

With this moped the porter question to begin to cut is perfectly useless, because such is not at all present. A representative that constantly a brief case needs or a sample case on the luggage stand to fasten must, also hardly a Avanti will buy. The young sport driver however accommodates its implements well in a tank backpack. For somewhat larger luggage a suitable porter is available against surcharge.

For the lubrication of the shock struts a charging hole is intended in the upper section, which is locked by a semicircular head screw.

The dirt protection satisfied me, even if the front fender could have somewhat more deeply down-pulled. I am afraid however that improvement suggestions of this kind do not meet the agreement of the Avanti lovers at all. Differently it behaves with the chain protection, which could be completed calmly by a lower chain cover plate, without the sporty line would have to suffer. The chain would be probably very grateful for it.

It has much for itself, if one regards, moped purchase first the manual, because in my experience mostly holds itself the remarks manual and the quality that of vehicle the balance. The manual of the Avanti belongs to the best ones, what I know in this regard, and with the comparison the Avanti disappointed just as little. Such a moped to drive is not everyone thing, but who now times a correct sport moped to drive wants, of the Victoria Avanti one does not certainly disappoint.
