A refresh to an underrated but interesting bike from Kawasaki, named Athlete Pro. The changes mostly on the exterior where we can see the superbike-style exhaust muffler which is big. The ‘big’ appearance is due to the use of the muffler protector which protects the pillions’ feet/leg from touching the hot exhaust pipe.

Sri Lanka, it was never in my motoring bucket list of places to ride in. But that didn’t stop me from saying yes to an assignment from Keshy even as it came with a vague description. “Go there and ride around for about a week or so,” he said.

2015-Suzuki-Satria-F115-Young-Star-Indonesia-001

The low slung moped from Suzuki has been a great alternative for riders who are looking for something that is different. In Indonesia, the riders are lucky enough to get this smaller version of the Satria F150 that is the Satria F115 Young Star.

The noticeable difference that we can see is the use of plain two-piece suspension at rear as opposed to monoshock suspension on the Satria F150. One more difference that we can see is the absence of the rear brake disc which are now replaced by the drum brake.  (more…)
