About :

There are three versions of the new Honda Sahara: the Standard (R$27,090); Sahara 300 Rally (R$27,690) and the top-of-the-line Sahara 300 Adventure (R$28,650). I used the most complete Adventure version (the same one I tested at the launch in Recife, shown in issue 581), the model – with prices ranging from R$33,000 to R$39,000. It was also equipped with a top case, an original accessory sold separately (for R$600) that proved to be useful, as it could fit a lot of clothes, sneakers and other gear. Only the camera went in the backpack, but electronic equipment should not be transported in top cases – as the vibration can damage the circuits and other sensitive components. Even though I left Atibaia early in the morning, the sun was already strong and punishing; it would be more than 400 km to Garça. From there I went to Jundiaí, then Sorocaba until I reached the Castello Branco Highway. I went to the end of the road and was able to evaluate the Sahara's performance along the way. With a speed limit of 120 km/h, I chose to travel at the bike's limit (in some stretches reaching over 139 km/h). In this situation, the engine (which has a maximum power of 24.8 hp) is very demanding and works above 8,500 rpm. Despite the windshield protection, original equipment on the Adventure version, the trip becomes tiring and exhausting. I rode a little over 230 km and the bike was already on reserve while the on-board computer showed the worst mark of the trip: 23.5 km/liter. In addition to the high consumption, the long riding time – more than 2 hours straight – took its toll on the discomfort. I kept alternating riding positions (standing, sitting sideways, resting my foot on the passenger footpegs...) while sweat dripped down my Cordura clothing. It was the end of summer and the high temperature was dehydrating my body. Leaving Castello Branco behind, I headed to Marília, where I met Edgard Coait (owner of Lander). Edgard knows the Garça region like no one else and took me to see the Igreja dos Ingleses up close. A witness to a time when coffee was synonymous with wealth and ostentation, the church seems to be standing thanks to a miracle. Warnings about the risk of collapse were no match for the curiosity of seeing up close a building in the Gregorian Gothic style so far from old England...
