Modenas is set to launch a new model this 8th September 2015. It feels like a long time since Modenas have launch a bike. The last one that I remember is the Modenas MR1. Let’s wait to see whether this can be a product where it fits the use of Malaysian riders.

2015 Yamaha Y15ZR in Malaysia

This has been an important launch for Hong Leong Yamaha for 2015. The 150cc moped has been available in the neighbouring market that is Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. Exciter 150 FI, Jupiter MX King and now in Malaysia, it is named Y15ZR.
