Honda Preparing Supermoto or Naked Bike Based on CBR250R Engine

Honda CRF-250x

Honda is rumored to be preparing a supermoto or naked bike based on CBR250R engine later this year. This is a great move by Honda since the single cylinder engine is fuel-efficient with low maintainance. Also, this provides more choices for the customer to choose the preferred style they need. If Honda were to choose a naked style for their bike, I think that should work well with the current CBR250R styling without the fairing. See what I mean here as presented on the naked CBR150R. It looks great!

2012 Kawasaki Ninja 150RR Facelift to Follow 250R Look?

At the end of the year, many manufacturer are updating their bike for next year model to increase the sales of their. This is a good thing since newer usually features new technology that gives increase to power gain, better aerodynamic design, lower fuel emmision, gain in fuel efficiency or just plain facelift.
TMCBlog has reported that Kawasaki are likely to have this new Kawasaki Ninja 150RR (in Malaysia, we known this as KRR150) updated to follow the look of the bigger capacity brother, the Ninja 250R. This is good since the Ninja 250R have a nice headlamp and fairing design. I hope this can help in terms of aerodynamic.

2012 Suzuki GW250: Baby B-King Test Ride in Haejue, China

2012-suzuki-gw250-spy-shot-6 — 2012 Suzuki GW250

I’m not sure whether this picture of the Suzuki GW250 has been released in China or this is actually spy-shot pictures. From the way I see it, many riders there are bringing their DSLR camera for the test ride, so it means that taking pictures is not restricted by Suzuki there. Suzuki GW250 draws its inspiration from the Suzuki B-King which is one of the popular bike from Suzuki. The styling of the B-King are very masculine and provides sense of machismo. Whatever it is, this gallery of pictures makes me feel good knowing that the Baby B-King is actually as real as it can gets.

The specs for this bike are generous with 110/30-17 front tyre and 140/70-17 rear tyre. The engine seems like it is inline-twin with the two exhaust pipe make 2-1-2 setup. The exhaust are one of the nice design with double muffler type which add the masculine looks. The brakes are both from NISSIN with 2-piston caliper for the front and 1-piston caliper for the rear.

If anyone from Suzuki Assemblers in Malaysia are reading, please do whatever it takes to bring this bike to Malaysia.

2012 Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 2.0 in India [Wallpaper, Colour and Specs]

2012-YZF-R15-Red — 2012 Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 2.0 Sunset Red

2012-YZF-R15-Blue — 2012 Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 2.0 Racing Blue

2012-YZF-R15-Black — 2012 Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 2.0 Midnight Black

This one bike is very sexy and has been in the thought of many Malaysian riders including me. The tech specs shows that this bike is still producing 17ps which means that there is no changes in the engine type. Most of the updates are about cosmetic changes that really makes this bike much more desirable. I can see that the rear tail light has been designed from the inspiration from its bigger brother the YZF-R6. It gives the bike sharper look and more aerodynamic. Also, this makes it easy to change the tail section to become fenderless.

YZF-R15 V2.0 comes in three exciting colours that is Sunset Red, the ever popular Racing Blue and the all mysterious Midnight Black. My personal favourite is the Sunset Red. It shows great combination of red and white colours to show the bike great looks.

Raya Finds: Suzuki Akira 120cc 2-stroker

While visiting my friends and family house during Hari Raya, I found this old and rusty bike. The bike amazes me with the with a meter cluster that I have not seen before. The features of the bike are also great as it comes with 120cc 2-stroke engine, 2-piston caliper for the front, 1-piston Nissin caliper for the rear and monoshock rear suspension.

At first, I don’t know the name of this bike, so, I asked the owner there and he said it is Suzuki Akira 120. That’s a very nice name for a bike. Reminds me of the Akira manga.

The engine have similarity with Suzuki RGV-120, which is once popular in Malaysia. Sadly, the Suzuki Akira is not marketed here. Anyone, who owns the Suzuki Akira 120 are lucky enough to know that they can use interchangeably the parts from Suzuki RGV 120 and some parts from Suzuki Akira in Thailand.
