Looking good in orange and make a great mod if you own a Honda. This should make your bike looks like Honda Repsol team livery with the addition of this orange wheels. Since this is the original colour from the factory, it should have a perfect finish and last longer that being coloured by ourself. (more…)
Yamaha Thailand has released a teaser about the facelifted Mio 125i in the Yamaha racing blue colour. It has been a couple of years of this bike launched in Thailand, this is the right time to have it updated. The headlight is no longer separated into double cluster, but a big one on the center of the bike like a ‘normal’ Ego. It is looking fresh. Some are saying that this new Mio features SSS or Side Stand Switch, which works by cutting of the engine power if you got the side stand pulled out. This small feature is a welcomed feature because I sometimes also forgot to pull in the side stand when riding my bike.
People in Indonesia too will get this upcoming bike, but as TMCBlog reported, there is only street spyshot without any name on the sticker yet. Check out more pictures after the jump: (more…)
Racing Boy has shown a teaser in their FB page about the upcoming new products that is the much awaited UMA Racing Digital Meter for Yamaha 135LC V2. Surprisingly, they also make one for the Honda EX-5 and this is a good move from RB. I don’t what is the price, but can be estimated at around RM480+.
What’s good about this digital meter is that it can read RPM up to 15,000 RPM. This is good for those who need to get an accurate reading of their engine crankshaft rotation for power tuning. There is also shift light that lit up when the RPM is in the optimum powerband. Other than that, it is just looking so cool!
Thanks to Roger Lau Jiu Yuan for the tips.

Yamaha Return to Sepang
Yamaha Factory Racing set up in Sepang this week straight from Japan for the middle of the three overseas back-to-back races, the Grand Prix of Malaysia. Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo arrives with a 28-point lead at the top of the standings after a strong second place finish at Motegi on Sunday. The Sepang circuit holds starkly contrasting connotations for Lorenzo, being the scene of his World Championship title in 2010 countered by the tragic passing of Marco Simoncelli in 2011.
Ben Spies moves to Sepang determined to complete the final three races of the season on a high note following a disastrous Grand Prix of Japan which saw him retire on the second lap with braking issues. Due to the cancellation of last year’s race Spies has only competed once at the Sepang circuit, taking an impressive fourth place finish from fourth on the grid in his rookie year. (more…)
GTMax has updated their FB page with this picture of a YZF-R15. Usually they post the lineup of the bike that they are selling. Based on the comment I have read on the page, the price for this bike is said to be at RM14,000. Not sure whether it is true or not. If it is true, then we have more choice for 150cc bike other than its similar sibling in naked style, the FZ-150i from Yamaha. BTW, this R15 is 6-speed yo.

This picture if Modenas Dinamik is posted just a few hours ago by Syamsul Azwan Adry Azem on his FB. It got new orange livery which looks quite good. This 6-speed bike has been released long time ago but has been out of sight for many years, but there some rare occurance where I can see them in the Malaysian road. If this bike is coming back in production, it will fight nicely with Yamaha 125ZR.
The Modenas Dinamik 120 price is RM5,749 which is cheap considered it is equipped with front and rear brake, 6-speed transmission and monoshock suspension.
I don’t whether this is true or not, I’m sharing what I know to you all and hope you can share your valuable info too.

I have been wondering about the CKD status of the newly launched Kawasaki Z800. So, I got to chat with one of my friend who are very close with the Kawasaki people here in Malaysia. The picture below is the screenshot from a chat via Whatsapp. (more…)
A quick move by QBEE Motor to introduce the hand crafted performance exhaust from Scorpion to the KTM Duke 200. There are 3 variant to choose from that is the Serket Taper Carbon Fiber, Brushed Stainless and Titanium. Power will definitely increase and at the same time you can enjoy silent sound if you want to with the application of DB killer. Also, the slip-on is lighter compared to the stock muffler.

After knowing that the Ninja 250R launched in Malaysia, we, riders are definitely happy and can’t wait to see in our own eyes (I know I am). Before doing that, let us see the features and specs and that leaves us all drooling.
2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R came in a design that is edgy with lots of dynamic lines that exudes the sense of speed and style. On the side, the fairing with the black ‘spacer’ in the middle makes it looks less heavy that the previous version of it. It now look lighter now. One of the most interesting visual here is the new wheel. It is a 5 ‘Y’ spoke design is thinner bar and gives a fresh modern look for it. (more…)
After being launched in Indonesia, then brought to Thailand, it is only logical that this 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R and Z800 should come to our ground too. That that time is now. Kawasaki Motors Malaysia are now bringing the new bikes to Malaysia with the launch ceremony at Sunway Convention Hall. The pricing is not known yet, but will update as soon as we got the info.
UPDATE I & II: Just got to know the confirmed price:
2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R price is less than RM25k RM22,589 (not OTR)
2013 Kawasaki z800 price is less than RM45k RM47,989 (not OTR)
UPDATE II:
The Kawasaki Ninja 250R and Z800 is considered as ASEAN CKD. It is being manufactured in Thailand. Compared to previous Z750, it is considered CBU since it is made in Japan. The benefit of ASEAN CKD is that the tax supposedly lower than CBU. I’m not sure how it works in details, but it seem that the price is right for the Ninja 250R.
HLYM of Malaysia has updated their website with fresh new design. It is much better than the old one and much more user-friendly. Head on to HLYM now.
