suzukiFX-modded

How about this extreme mod of Suzuki FX in pink and NOS system installed. The jockey must be one hell of a daredevil. Slick tyres, chromes everywhere and that custom exhaust pipe. Nice!

XSpeed from Thailand has transform this Honda MSX 125 to follow the style of the Ducati Monster. The red colour matched the unmistaken Monster dominant colour. The white stripe on the front mudguard also shows the usual Monster style. Nice job!  (more…)

YZFR1-lorenzo-replica

A better livery than the plain Race-Blu which refers to Lorenzo YZR-M1 livery with that 99 number. Is this nice enough for your eyes? It sure did for me.

Suzuki Nex 115 – Keringkasan dalam kesempurnaan

Ringkas tetapi menghampiri kesempurnaan. Itulah ayat poyo gua bila bercerita mengenai skuter ini. Suzuki Nex merupakan skuter terbaru di pasaran yang pada mulanya gua tengok macam biasa-biasa saja. Tetapi setelah gua tengok iklan di majalah ni (Kapcai), blog di Indonesia dan Thailand, semua orang mengatakan bahawa skuter ini adalah antara yang terbaik dalam kelasnya. Bila gua periksa spesifikasi dan maklumat mengenai Nex ini, gua baru dapat tahu bahawa Nex ini mempunyai kuasa setinggi 6.9kW. Jumlah ini adalah besar berbanding dengan skuter lain malah lebih besar juga dibandingkan dengan moped lain yang mempunyai kapasiti enjin yang sama. Pada suatu masa dulu, gua masih ingat dengan kewujudan skuter yang popular dari Suzuki iaitu VS125 dan VR150 dimana pada masa itu skuter Suzuki cukup menguasai jalanraya kerana tidak ada skuter yang berkuasa setinggi itu di Malaysia. Kalau ada pun cuma Yamaha Pasola 50cc itu. Setelah beberapa dekad, penguasaan Suzuki semakin menurun kerana tiada model naik taraf skuter VS125 dan VR150 dalam jangkamasa yang lama. Kemudian, Suzuki terus cuba meneruskan lagenda skuter dengan pengenalan Skydrive dan Step 125. Namun begitu, pengenalan dua model tersebut akan diungguli oleh model Nex ini kerana gua mengagak bahawa Suzuki Nex ni akan jadi salah satu skuter terbaik Suzuki.  (more…)

Nice mod to this Nouvo. Matched with red colour and that Ducati Panigale 1098 fairing light.

UPDATE: It is not Panigale but Ducati 1098 style. Sorry, my bad.

LeMansCircuit
Valentino Rossi wrapped up the first day of action at the Monster Energy Grand Prix de France as the fastest Yamaha rider and third overall behind rival Dani Pedrosa. The Italian spent the day’s two free practice sessions working to set up his YZR-M1 for the Le Mans circuit, focusing on a soft front and hard rear tyre combination. Rossi opted for the 2012 M1 chassis for the Le Mans weekend whilst the team continues to evaluate the difference between the old and new. The final session saw the nine-time World Champion improve to climb from seventh to second, dropping to third at the end just 0.138 seconds from first. Rossi was also the fastest rider through the second sector of the Le Mans circuit.

Teammate Jorge Lorenzo was as usual quick from the start of the first session, contesting with the fastest riders and wrapping up the morning in second place. The afternoon saw more of the same fast consistency from the reigning World Champion, taking the session lead with a 1’34.2 second lap with 17mins remaining. A flurry of fast laps in the final minutes dropped him to fourth however he was just 0.166 from first. Lorenzo remained fourth in the combined times. The Spaniard also focused on a hard front, soft rear tyre option but opted for the 2013 chassis to evaluate the Le Mans circuit.  (more…)
