Any biker enthusiasts can tell that the owner of this bike really loves his 135LC. Not because of the bike is heavily modded, but due to this bike that is parked inside the house! I’ve done the same thing too when I got my Yamaha RX-Z.

Well executed and attention to details make this X1R stands outs from the sea of 135LC in the road in Malaysia.

With pro-Arm fitted from Honda NSR150SP, this bike surely looks intimidating. Some people says that, using pro-Arm will make the bike handling much better (but depends on the mechanic expertise to fit it) because it will lowers the gravity center of the bike and also, the pro-Arm will add length to the wheel base dimension that provides better cornering.

Thanks to Rizan for the permission to use the pictures.

This is a test bike from Maju Motor. It is fitted with 32mm UMA Racing carburetor with is way much bigger than the original stock carburetor at 17mm. Using larger carburetor is one of my favourite modification since this will definitely increase the horsepower and torque at the same time. Fuel economy is not in the equation here since it is not being considered. I still remember my Honda C70 that I use to have when I studied at university in Johor, that is fitted with RX-S 100 carburetor at 22mm, I think. The power at high RPM is enormous and surprisingly, the stock cylinder and casing of the Honda C70 can bear the torture.

This red Yamaha Lagenda 115Z also fitted with Racing Boy SP399 3-spoke wheel in white that matches the overall look. SP399 is one of the most popular wheel in modification scene since it is lightweight, high quality, easy to clean have and nice style. Anyway, this wheel design is not originally from RB since it is being used as a stock wheel for Yamaha Y125ZR in 2001 by Enkei.

This bike is still in progress of modifying, so, I shall visit the shop again to see what it looks like when everything is well finished and ready to run.

With the upcoming launch of Honda CBR-250R in mid February 2011, there are many 250cc bike that can be considered and Kawasaki Ninja 250R is a force to reckon with.

Comparing this bike with Honda CBR-250R, I have found that the Ninja is better in terms of specs. Ninja got 2-cylinder engine that can provide good engine feel, while CBR got the single cylinder engine which is good for fuel economy and good torque. Also, single displacement engine have much fewer parts and therefore, easier to maintain all along its lifetime. Single cylinder engine sometime also called ‘Big Bang’ engine. One of the largest single cylinder engine that I know is Aprillia Pegaso 650.

Kawasaki Ninja 250R FI is recently launched at GTMax Motor in Shah Alam. The previous model of this bike is carburetted. Since the new edition equipped with FI system,  fuel-efficiency can further be upgraded and also you don’t have to pull choke everytime you want to start the bike in the morning since the FI system takes control all of that.

Maybe this news is not much related to underbone bikes, but, please don’t be prejudice and hate all the superbikes. It is there for all of us to enjoy the ride. I’ll continue to write more about underbone bikes as that is my greatest passion.

Price is at MYR20,900 as I asked the salesman at GTMax.

The third model of the Yamaha Lagenda series get a styling update which is very noticeable with the new design of the headlamp. It is has been further separated and some people (including me) thinks that this headlamp looks like an owl’s eyes. Angry and yet stylish.

There are four colours available at this time that is green, black, blue and red. The one in red is the most beautiful of them all.

At this period of time, Lagenda has become more popular than ever and can be fight against Honda EX5 and Wave in a very competitive battle. Still, it is made popular by the Malaysian Cub Prix bikes by Motul YYPang with wins many race in the series.
