KTM Malaysia set to Rock Malaysian MotoGP 2017

  • KTM Malaysia is set to set the Malaysian MotoGP 2017 ablaze in READY TO RACE Orange.

  • KTM Malaysia is also offering the KTM MotoGP Fan Package.

  • Expect to see the latest KTM motorcycles plus Meet & Greet session with top KTM riders.

It’s the best time of the year for motorcycle racing fans in Malaysia and around the region. No, not Christmas, but it’s the Malaysian MotoGP.

The Malaysian MotoGP has without doubt grown over the last 3 years to capacity crowds and this year is no different. But what will make the difference is what KTM Malaysia has in store for fans and visitors.

KTM’s signature orange-coloured pavilion at the Malaysian MotoGP has always been one of the biggest crowd pullers. Not only do they display the latest road-going models, but also the dirtbikes and off-roaders that have conquered the world. Visitors are allowed to get up close to touch, feel and even smell these awesome machines, what more to selfie with them.

Additionally, KTM-branded riding gear and wear, called Powerwear, and KTM’s proprietary motorcycles accessories, called Powerparts will be displayed in all their grandeur.

Visitors could expect to see the latest 250 Duke, 390 Duke (click here for our first ride and here for our review), RC 250 and RC 390, 1290 Super Duke R, 1290 Super Adventure S, 1290 Super Adventure R, 1050 Adventure Travel Pack, 1290 Super Duke GT, 250 EX/C-F, 350 EX/C-F, 450 EX/C-F, 250 SX-F, 450 SX-F and many more. The latter two bikes are the same as those ridden by Gabit Saleh to multiple Malaysian motocross wins and the 2016 FIM Asia Supermoto Championship.

Visitors will also be able to catch a glimpse of the RC Cup racebike and replica of the RC16 MotoGP racer, ridden by Pol Espargaro and Bradley Smith.

As such, fans can expect meet-and-greet sessions with the FIM Supermoto Champion, RC Cup riders and, Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP riders (subject to the riders’ schedule and availability). KTM Malaysia is in the midst of working with SIC and Dorna for Gabit Saleh to perform a stunt show at the starting grid and front straight on race day, so stay posted!

KTM Malaysia has offered the Fan Package, which includes a ticket for the KTM Tribune in the Main Grandstand, limited edition T-shirt, cap, bag, raincoat and flag.

As many as 500 KTM fans will mass at the KTM Tribune and turn it into a sea of READY TO RACE Orange. There is nothing better than being in the company of people who share the same passion and cheering for the same riders. The KTM Tribune faces the starting grid and paddock, ensuring a great view of proceedings throughout the day, be it for the support classes, Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP.

KTM Malaysia will also host a myriad of activities at the Tribune. KTM fans can look forward to gifts and lucky draws.

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
