Launched at Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia is first country in Asia to have the Kawasaki Ninja H2 and H2 R (not including Japan). I’m thinking this is due to Malaysia that have the proper place to have the power of this bike to be unleashed, that is the Sepang Circuit. As we know, the Ninja H2 R are track only bike and you can never have it registered to make it road legal, so, it is logic that Malaysia to have it available. For the road use, you can still obtain the Ninja H2 which is road legal hyperbike that can maxes out 300km/h, but on the road, you should limit the speed to only 110km/h.

Kawasaki Vulcan S is also an interesting bike to have here in Malaysia. It is a cruiser which suits the condition in Malaysia since we have nice coastal beach street that we can enjoy riding it. Previously, Malaysia have already have the Kawasaki Vulcan VN500 that proves to be popular sometimes ago. Priced below RM30,000, this is one bike that offer excellent value-for-money. You’ll get 650cc bike with a muscular look from Kawasaki that proves to be reliable. Revival of the cruiser as said by Kawasaki Malaysia. I guessing this Vulcan S will be hugely popular once again in Malaysia. It just ticks all the box correctly. Great engine? Check. Nice design? Check. Cheap price? Check!

Available only sometime next year.  Price is after the jump:  (more…)

2015-Suzuki-Smash-FI-fuel-injection-006

Winning the heart of Malaysian riders is not easy as they want the latest and greatest. This include the latest technology in motorcycle under 150cc that is Fuel Injection system. Now, Suzuki Assemblers has taken a good step to win the Malaysian riders heart by introducing Smash FI, a 2015 model that is equipped with Fuel Injection System 115cc engine. The engine is air-cooled and this actually can give a lower maintenance since the are fewer parts to handle or repair. On Belang R150, Suzuki engineer are clever enough to use oil-cooling rather than water-cooling since the oil is already inside the engine.   (more…)
