There is a void in Malaysian motorcycle video reviews that needs to be filled by someone who cares about the motorcycle arena here. Luckily, comes Malaysian Riders, which is a filmmaker for motorcycle. I have seen their video review work especially in the BMW HP4, which were great in videography and tells the story in real riders view. This could be the next best thing in motorcycle industry in Malaysia and you guys (and gals) should check them out. Maybe, sometime you can see some flaws in their video, but you should know they are on a very limited budget and what they have done is already great, imagine if they are given more time and budget to hone up their videography skills with better equipment, I guess they’ll just be one force to be reckon with.

The pure emotions involved in traveling, the feeling of the open road beneath you, the limits that get pushed further every day. MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800. A name that dates back to the early days of Meccanica Verghera, the company founded on the intuition of Count Domenico Agusta and that is now at the very pinnacle of motorcycling thanks to 75 World Championship titles and an incredible history blended with both mystique and performance.

It reiterates the same ideal with an approach to riding which makes the new MV Agusta the ground breaker for a new way of travelling. (more…)
