It looks classic enough but with a distinction on the ‘hover’ seat style. I was thinking that this is a 946cc bike when I first know the name but actually it is 125cc 4-stroke engine equipped. Vespa have a good wide followers and it retains one of the icon in the 60s and 70s (80s, perharps) for its different style other than bikes from Japan. This Italy machine could be the new generation of Vespa that could take over the hearts of the world again, if it comes at the right price at this kind of economy right now.

KTM also has come out with the new 390 Duke ABS to satisfy the rider who needs more power but at the same wanted the agility of the 200 Duke. It retain the single-cylinder engine and the overall look of the 200 Duke. KTM always have made a aggressive looking bike and a very unique bike that is different than others. Riders riding KTM are usually riders with different mind.

The ultimate Duke for the KTM fans out there. This is the biggest capacity ever from KTM and this time it is not single-cylinder style. We can see the use or the V engine but I’m still not sure how many cylinders are there. This bike is unmistakenly KTM with the aggressive looks and orange theme of the overall body. I like the way KTM uses the mono-swing arm for the rear suspension. It reminds me the era of Mick Doohan with is 2-stroke 500cc MotoGP bike. The coloured wheel with white and orange colour adds the unique style of this Superduke. It will be unveiled soon at EICMA, Milan.  (more…)

Modenas has updated the colour and graphics of the beautiful Ace 115 in two new colours; light blue and white base base with red accent. I like the one in the light blue colour since that colour is rare and not many bikes in Malaysia have that kind of colour. We usually see bikes in red, black and white. Very few of them comes in rare colours like this one. This time I can also see the livery design of Modenas bikes are getting better and complements the good looks of the bike.  (more…)

Agip is a well known oil company in the world and especially in Malaysia, but what about ENI? After researching on the net, I just got to know that Agip is actually a subsidiary company under ENI. Basically, this means that Agip and ENI has the same quality since essentially it is ‘almost’ the same company. We just got all of the above samples to be tested soon. We have already installed the ENI Moto 4T Tec 10W-50 Synthetic which is the top of the line product to one of our bike and the initial review is that it gives easy acceleration towards the top speed. We need to wait a few hundred more miles before we can a write a full review of it. By the way, here is the price list:

ENI Moto 4T Tec 10W-50 RM65

ENI Super 4T 10W-40 RM29 (I’ll be testing this on my own bike soon)

ENI Super 4T 20W-50 RM27

ENI 2T Smokeless RM26.50

Agip TOUR 10W-40 Synthetic RM35

Here is the preview of the bike with the ENI Moto 4T Tec 10W-50 installed:

Finally, the Trellis frame Honda has come out after about a year of rumors and denial about it in the webspace. It is named Honda CB150R StreetFire and has just recently unveiled in JMCS (Jakarta Motorcycle Show). This trellis frame for a Honda with 150cc engine is quite rare since Honda prefer to use the diamond type chassis (or Deltabox) for its bike. This implemention of diamond type can be look at the NSR150RR and CBR150R bike. This time Honda seems to go further and use a beautiful Trellis frame for its naked CB150R.  (more…)
