Roda internet kembali berputar dengan spekulasi baru tentang Kawasaki yang dikatakan sedang bersedia untuk memperkenalkan model baby RS yang dipanggil Z400RS, atau mungkin Z4RS.
Menurut laporan dari media Jepun, Kawasaki akan meneruskan susunan model biasanya di mana pengenalan model Ninja baru akan diikuti oleh model Z, dan itu akan diikuti dengan model RS.
Sebagai pengingatan, Kawasaki memperkenalkan ZX4-R awal tahun lalu dan juga menunjukkannya di Bangkok Motor Show pada suku kedua tahun 2023.
ZX-4R dikuasakan oleh enjin 4-silinder 400cc, menghasilkan 77PS. Sebuah varian-Z naked akan juga menyusul dengan enjin dan varian suspensi yang sama.
Walau bagaimanapun, spekulasi kini menunjukkan bahawa model naked retro juga akan menyusul, seperti Z900RS dan Z650RS.
Mengapa pula Kawasaki akan intro model baby RS? Selain daripada fakta yang Kawasaki telah melakukannya baru-baru ini, Kawasaki juga telah melakukannya sebelum ini pada tahun 70-an dengan model 400-RS. Pada masa itu, nama Zephyr dan FX digunakan.
Beberapa media Jepun juga melaporkan bahawa terdapat 70% peluang yang Z400RS (atau Z4RS) akan diperkenalkan pada suku ketiga tahun 2024.
Jadi bagaimana Modenas menyelaraskan diri dalam gambaran ini?
Jangan lupa bahawa Kawasaki dan Modenas memperkuat hubungan mereka di Malaysia dengan Kawasaki meningkatkan sahamnya dalam syarikat Malaysia itu. Ini berlaku pada suatu masa pada tahun 2021 dengan pengumuman rasmi dibuat pada tahun 2022.
Selain daripada perubahan wakil penjual Kawasaki, salah satu perkara yang penting dari itu adalah penyelarasan semula jenama.
Di Malaysia, semua motosikal Kawasaki 650cc dan ke bawah diubah jenama sebagai Modenas manakala apa sahaja melebihi itu akan terus memegang jenama Kawasaki.
Itulah sebabnya model seperti Versys dikenali sebagai Modenas Versys.
Jadi dengan pengenalan Ninja ZX-4R yang hampir tiba di Malaysia, adakah kita akan segera melihat Modenas Z400RS?
Jika spekulasi ini benar, ini bukanlah soal jika, tetapi soal bila.
The rumour wheels of the internet are running again with speculation that Kawasaki is preparing to introduce a baby RS called the Z400RS, or even Z4RS.
According to reports coming out of Japan, Kawasaki is set to continue with its usual model line up where the introduction of a new Ninja model will immediately be followed by a Z model, and in recent years, that will be followed up with an RS model.
It is also worth noting that this is not the first time that these rumours have floated, the first was in 2022, but considering that the ZX-4R has already hit some markets, this could just be the year the rumours come true.
Just as a refresher, Kawasaki introduced the ZX4-R early last year and even previewed it at the Bangkok Motor Show at the second half of 2023.
The ZX-4R is powered by a 400cc, inline 4-cylinder engine pushing 77PS. A naked-Z variant will soon follow with the same engine and suspension variant.
However, word on the grapevine is now suggesting that a retro naked model will also follow suite, ala Z900RS and the Z650RS.
Why would Kawasaki do that though? Well besides the fact that Kawasaki has been doing that in recent times already, Kawasaki has also done so before in the 70s with the 400-RS. Back then, the Zephyr and FX name plates were used.
Some Japanese media outlets are reporting that there is a 70% chance of the Z400RS (or Z4RS) being introduced sometime in quarter three of 2024.
So how does Modenas fit into this picture?
Lets not forget that Kawasaki and Modenas strengthened their relationship in Malaysia with Kawasaki increasing its shares in the Malaysian company. This happened sometime in 2021 with an official announcement made in 2022.
Besides the changing of Kawasaki dealerships, one of the key takeaways from that is a rebranding exercise.
In Malaysia, all Kawasaki bikes 650cc and under are rebranded as Modenas while anything above that will continue to carry the Kawasaki brand.
This is why models like the Versys are known as the Modenas Versys.
So with the imminent introduction of the Ninja ZX-4R in Malaysia, could we soon see a Modenas Z400RS?
If the rumours are to be believed, it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

The unfortunate deregistration of the BMW Motorrad Club Malaysia (BMWMCM) has members and former members reeling in sadness and anger. Leaked images of show cause letters issued by the Malaysian Registrar of Societies shows that the club was mismanaged for a few years, leading to its untimely demise.

We reached out to former President, Minesh Doshi, widely credited for building BMWMCM to be voted as the best BMW Club in the world in 2014, for a comment. Minesh was generous with his time and came up with the following statement, and for that we are grateful. (more…)
All good things must come to an end, so they say. But there are some you expect to last for some time, perhaps even longer than you. And when it does not turn out that way, it comes as a shock that is felt by all that hold it dear.
The year 2023 was bittersweet for some, particularly fans and members of the iconic and perhaps even legendary BMW Motorrad Club Malaysia (BMWMCM). As 2023 drew to a close, rumours started circulating that the club had to be disbanded.
But it is difficult to believe rumours in this day of misinformation, so it was disregarded. And then images started circulating of official letters from the Registrar of Societies. And then the disbelieve turned to shock and for some, utter disappointment. (more…)
