1-2014-Yamaha-YZR-M1-livery

Yamaha Factory Racing stars Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi kicked off the new MotoGP season today by unveiling the 2014 Yamaha YZR-M1 live in front of nearly 4000 members of the Yamaha family at the 3S Dealer meeting in Indonesia.

The two-day visit saw both riders engage in a number of activities for their first official outing of 2014. Yesterday Jorge met with a number of local media before heading off to take part in a soccer game with a team of Lorenzo fans and members of the Yamaha community.

This morning Jorge and Vale went together to meet Mr. Joko Widodo, the current Governor of Jakarta. The threesome spent some time cycling and chatting together before the riders moved on to join the thousands of Yamaha dealers gathered to witness the unveiling of the 2014 YZR-M1 that marked the start of the 3S Dealer Meeting.

Jorge and Vale wrapped up the day by recording a local TV show and shooting a Yamaha TV commercial before heading to the airport and saying goodbye to Indonesia once again.  (more…)

The newest addition the CBU lineup from Kawasaki, Z1000, has arrived in Malaysia. We have just write about the spyshot yesterday. This is the update many riders are waiting for. The styling is based from the Sugomi design that refers to a predator ready to pounce its prey. Priced at RM76,900, this could be the one of the best naked 1,000cc you can buy.

Spotted-Kawasaki-Z1000-malaysia-2014

A spy picture of a 2014 Kawasaki Z1000 has been spotted in Malaysia by GearJahat. This could mean that the launch is very soon. I think that this streetfighter bike category will be heavily contested by other makes too. If it is launched, we need to see whether the price will be a good price for its size. Also seen in the picture is the Z1000SX.

2014-Yamaha-EgoLC125-YMJET_FI-001

Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia introduced another automatic bikes today with YMJET_FI system that is the Yamaha Ego LC 125 YMJET_FI. This makes it the 3rd bike under 150cc that equipped with the fuel injection system. In Indonesia, this model is known as the Xeon RC. Powered with 124.86cc of liquid-cooled engine, this bike maxes out 11.4PS at 9,000RPM with 10.4Nm at 6,500RPM.

LS2 helmet by SLGrafics

LS2 Helmet will be the 2014 helmet for the Spanish rider, Yonny Hernandez, bearing riders number 68. For 2013, Hernandez is with the Pramac Racing riding the Ducati machine. In my opinion, this is a very good move from LS2 to boost the brand reputation and also increase the sales of helmets just like what old saying, “You win on Sunday, you sell on Monday”. Even just by entering the MotoGP sponsorship the LS2 brand itself will be more recognizable and desirable. This is because the MotoGP racing is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing where safety and performance needs no compromise. So, when a rider trust a helmet, users can also trust it since the safety and performance of the helmet should be on par with any other helmet used in the racing. This also boost the R&D department for LS2 to make a better, safer and higher performing helmet for the MotoGP rider and this R&D can trickle down to the road helmet for the end user like us.  (more…)
