Triumph Thruxton 400 Prototype Spotted

There have been many rumours about an upcoming café racer for the Triumph 400 range. It looks like it is true, after all, as a Triumph Thruxton 400 prototype had been spotted undergoing road tests in India.

Triumph had stopped production of the Thruxton 1200 (Final Edition in the main picture), and instead moved the high performance Bonneville ‘task’ to the Speed Twin. That leaves the company without a model with the Thruxton name in their lineup. To us, the Thruxton 1200 was the best Bonneville. Ever!

However, it now seems confirmed that the name will live on, albeit in the 400 range. We have ridden both the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, and they were just amazing. On top of it, they are sold at very competitive prices. It is why both models are selling like hotcakes.

So, over to the Thruxton 400 prototype. The pictures show a café racer clad in a half-fairing, although it was an accessory for the Thruxton 1200. The handlebar or clip ons are also placed lower than the Speed 400. The rest of the bike appears the same apart from these two details.

The engine will of course be the 398cc, single-cylinder unit built together with Bajaj Auto. It produces 39.5hp and 37.5Nm of torque, channeled through a 5-speed transmission. While it does not seem high on paper, it is entertaining enough.

Well, we cannot wait for more news about this bike. The Thruxton 1200 and its Final Edition were out of our financial reach, so maybe the Triumph Thruxton 400 could be the one!

How to Tell if Your Riding Gear is Genuine (Part 2) – RS Taichi

Continuing this series, let us check out another brand, the world-renowned RS Taichi.

To recap, we wanted to know how the makers of motorcycle riding gear take steps to ensure that you and I buy are genuine. These major manufacturers have put in much effort and cost to ensure that their products conform to safety standards in order to protect us.

However, the advent of online shopping platforms have created the problem of dishonest sellers parading copied and fake wares. And these shopping platforms are doing nothing to stop them.

Thus the onus falls back on our shoulders to ensure that we are spending our hard-earned money on genuine products.

**Courtesy of Hodaka Motoworld Singapore**

Who is RS Taichi?

The brand was founded my a professional motocross racer, Taichi Yoshimura in 1975, in Osaka, Japan. Yoshimura was raced for the Suzuki and Honda factory teams in motocross, and had the distinction of giving Honda their very first win in motocross racing.

The first RS Taichi product was a gear bag, before going on to making racing leather suits in 1978. Now, RS Taichi makes the complete range of motorcycle rider gear and accessories, from helmets to jackets, gloves, pants, shoes, inner wear, leather suits, bags, protectors, and more.

How can you detect a genuine RS Taichi product?

1. Look for the yellow Taichi tag in your jacket, gloves, pants, and bag.

2. Use a torchlight or your phone’s flashlight and shine through the tag.

3. You should see many Taichi logos.

Counterfeit RS Taichi products may have the tag, but the hologram will not show.

Conclusion

Alright, we have covered Komine and now RS Taichi, and we shall continue to cover other brands. Again, buy your riding gear from official channels. It is not worth saving a few bucks but compromising your safety.

The 2025 Honda CBR650R and 2025 Honda CB650R equipped with the Honda E-Clutch electronic clutch technology have arrived in Malaysia at long last.

It basically turns a big bike into a big kapchai with automatic clutch. The clutch lever is retained and can be pulled manually by the rider should he desires so, for example when he wants to half-clutch when riding through traffic, etc. The technology is different from Honda’s own Dual-Clutch Transmisson (DCT).

How to Tell if Your Riding Gear is Genuine (Part 1) – KOMINE

Certain brands place a lot of emphasis and create copy-proof measures at great expense. We are therefore starting this series of articles to look at how these brands protect their customers and intellectual property, starting with Komine.

The saying goes, “Imitation is the best form of flattery.” In other words, a brand is considered to be “there” when it is copied. But is it really? Of course it is not good – even destructive – for a the original maker’s reputation and bottom line, but it can also be dangerous to wear fake riding gear.

***Fake gloves sold at a ridiculous price. It’s too good to be true***

Why is it dangerous to wear fake gear?

There are standards governing motorcycle gear, from head to toe, starting from the helmet, to the padding in jacket, gloves, pants, and footwear. These standards ensure that the products are tested and proven to protect against injury. Manufacturers who wish to sell their gear must conform to these standards.

The most common standard is the European CE standard, which is adopted in more than 60 countries around the world. Certain European countries mandate that motorcyclists wear CE-approved gear, and the rider could be fined or his insurance claim voided (if he is involved in an accident) should be found not wearing CE-approved gear.

Not so with fakers. Their product may look the same, feel the same, even smell the same, but they are not the same because they are not tested to these exacting standards. Some tests carried out by bloggers and authorities have found that these copycat gear actually endanger the wearer instead of providing any form of protection.

Who is Komine?

The Komine brand he company was founded in 1947 by Komine Shunsuke, a motorcycle enthusiast. Komine products are known for being affordable, high quality, and safe. The company is now based in Tokyo, Japan.

They make many forms of riding gear, including helmets, and are the main suppliers to the Japanese traffic police.

Komine places rider safety and security above other concerns and as such, most of their jackets and pants feature CE-Level 2 protection padding.

How do you tell if the Komine product is genuine?

Every Komine’s wearable product i.e. jacket, gloves, pants, footwear, leather racing suit feature a hologram tag. To verify if it is genuine:

Turn off your phone’s macro lens feature (the flower symbol).
Bring the camera close to the hologram tag.
You should see at least one “OK” mark. The mark does not appear sharp but it is done so by design.

Fake Komine goods in the market may feature such hologram tag, too, but the “OK” mark does not show.

Conclusion

The issue of fake products is exacerbated by online shopping platforms where unscrupulous sellers claims that their products are “100% genuine.” However, it may be easy to tell when the item is offered at ridiculously cheap prices, sometimes with the excuse of “stock clearance” or “factory price”, so remember that it may be too good to be true.

Do buy from official channels for your own safety and a peace of mind.

Okay, that is all for Part 1 now. Stay tuned as we track down other brands.

Casis BMW M 1000 RR (2025) Diharamkan untuk WSBK 2025?

Casis BMW M 1000 RR (2025) yang baharu diumumkan mungkin akan diharamkan oleh FIM untuk digunakan di dalam Kejuaraan Superbike Dunia (WSBK).

Ini ialah kerana BMW telah menggunakan casis perlumbaan yang berlainan daripada M 1000 RR yang dijual kepada khayalak ramai. BMW telah diberikan manfaat ‘superconcessions‘ pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya kerana mereka belum mencapai keputusan yang konsistan itu sehinggalah Toprak Razgatlıoğlu memenangi kejuaraan untuk BMW pada 2024.

Selepas itu, BMW telah menggunakan casis baharu yang diperkembangkan daripada casis M 1000 RR (2024) untuk membangunkan casis untuk M 1000 RR (2025) untuk perlumbaan musim ini.

Peraturan WSBK menekankan bahawa casis yang digunakan di dalam perlumbaan wajib sama dengan motosikal yang dijual kepada khayalak ramai.

Oleh itu, difahamkan bahawa pasukan-pasukan pesaing yang terdiri daripada Ducati, Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, dan Bimota telah membuat bantahan kepada FIM dan Dorna mengenai keputusan BMW.

Pada masa ini, FIM dan Dorna belum membuat keputusan mengenai isu ini dan belum lagi menerbitkan peraturan baharu untuk musim ini tetapi peraturan mengenai casis motosikal dan superconcessions telah berjalan sekian lama. Jika ya, casis BMW M 1000 RR (2025) ini diharamkan, BMW hendaklah menggunakan casis motosikal jalanan 2024.

Adventure Motorcycles for New Riders (2025) – Part 2

Alright, let us continue with part 2 of this Adventure Motorcycles for New Riders (2025). But before we proceed further, let us clarify that “adventure motorcycles” describe motorcycles that have more fuel capacity and long-range comfort, compared to enduro motorcycles. In other words, these motorcycles retain some off-road capabilities and can be used for touring. Hence they are also known as dual-sport motorcycles.

Let us also move up the scale a bit and into the sub-500cc range.

6. KTM 390 Adventure

There are actually two versions of this bike i.e the standard 390 Adventure and the (much) more off-road oriented 390 Adventure R.

Launched in 2021 with cast alloy wheels, it underwent a revision for 2023, featuring wire spoked wheels.

Then, at EICMA last year, KTM revealed the long-awaited “R” version which was pretty much a totally new motorcycle including a new engine, suspension, bodywork, frame, swingarm, 27-inch front wheel, electronics. Come to think of it, it is much more like the smaller version of the 790/890 Adventure R.

In any case, the 390 Adventure was a hoot to ride both on the road and off-road, thrilling both new and veteran riders. However, wait for the “R” version if you plan on more exploring and off-roading.

(Specifications for the KTM 390 Adventure)

373cc, single-cylinder, DOHC, four-valve, liquid-cooled engine, producing 44hp, 37Nm.
14.5-litre fuel tank, 159kg (dry).
855mm seat height.
Pros: Torquey engine, superb suspension, hard-edged.
Cons: Standard suspension tuning is a bit hard.
Selling price: RM33,800.

7. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

The Royal Enfield Himalayan offers reliability, toughness, simplicity, versatility, and affordability all at one go. However, that toughness has a price in terms of weight. The 450 is the new model and features a bigger engine and TFT screen with smartphone connectivity, and there are 4 trims.

452cc, single-cylinder, DOHC, four-valve, liquid-cooled engine, producing 40hp at 8,000, 40Nm at 5,500 RPM.
17-litre fuel tank, 191kg (dry).
825mm seat height.
Pros: Simple, reliable, versatile.
Cons: Rather heavy.
Selling price: From RM30,600.

8. CFMoto 450MT/450MT-X

A high-spec’ed motorcycle at a competitive price: Adjustable KYB suspension, TFT screen, J.Juan brakes, adjustable windscreen (although manual), switchable rear wheel ABS via a dedicated button, etc. This bike is gear more towards off-road riding with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, but has a low seat height. Go for the MT-X version for just RM2,000 more and you will get three aluminium cases.

449cc, parallel-twin, 270º DOHC, four-valve, liquid-cooled engine, producing 44hp at 8,500, 44Nm at 6,250 RPM.
17.5-litre fuel tank, 175kg (dry).
820mm seat height.
Pros: Good features, light, low seat height.
Cons: Abrupt throttle action.
Selling price: RM28,800 (450MT), RM30,888 (450MT-X).

9. Triumph Scrambler 400X

Not as off-road oriented as the Scrambler 1200 but does a decent job with its longer travel suspension. But as with other Triumphs, the 400 platform is nimble, has a torque and entertaining engine, and superb suspension. And, the Scrambler 400 X comes equipped with a whole range of accessories, making it look really butch at a great price.

398cc, parallel-twin, 270º DOHC, four-valve, liquid-cooled engine, producing 39.5hp at 8,500, 37.5Nm at 6,500 RPM.
13-litre fuel tank, 179kg (wet).
835mm seat height.
Pros: Easy to ride, stylish, entertaining.
Cons: Very short 1st and 2nd gears.
Selling price: RM29,900.

10. Benelli TRK 502X

The TRK 502X is the adventure version with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, while the TRK 502 is the sport-touring version with 17-inch wheels on both ends. Truth be told, this product lineup is kind of long in the tooth, although it was updated recently. But, you do get dual front brakes, and it is probably the best for long-distance touring among the group here.

500cc, parallel-twin, four-valve, liquid-cooled engine, producing 48hp at 8,500, 45Nm at 6,000 RPM.
20-litre fuel tank, 213kg (dry).
840mm seat height.
Pros: Well appointed for long-distance riding.
Cons: It is heavy and feels heavy.
Selling price: RM35,288.

Closing

So there you have it, 10 most appropriate adventure motorcycles for new riders. It has to be said that motorcycles have come a long way and even a 250cc adventure bike can do wonders plus saving you a few bucks to be spent on riding gear.

There are several models missing in our list, including the Honda CB500X and Fantic Caballero 500. These two are fantastic bikes, nonetheless so we will write further features about them in the near future.

16-Year-Old Driver Caused 5 Deaths in Road Accident

A road accident caused by a 16-year-old driver has killed 5 victims. The incident occurred in Kuching, Sarawak, yesterday.

Kuching District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Farhan Lee Abdullah said that four of the victims, aged between 16 and 45, including a woman, died at the scene.

He said that another victim, a 16-year-old boy, was confirmed dead while receiving treatment at the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH).

“The accident on Jalan Teo Kui Seng-Stutong Baru at about 12.50pm occurred when a car from Jalan Lapangan Terbang heading towards Jalan Seria Raja lost control and skidded into the opposite lane.

“The car then crashed into two motorcycles and two cars in the opposite lane,” he said in a statement tonight.

Mohd Farhan said the 16-year-old boy who was driving the Proton Saga that crashed into four other vehicles is still receiving treatment at HUS due to a neck injury.

“Three other victims who also suffered injuries are also receiving further treatment at HUS,” he said.

The four other vehicles involved in the accident were a Toyota Altis, a Proton Saga and two motorcycles, a Yamaha and a Modenas.

According to him, the boy, who does not have a driving licence, will be detained after he receives treatment at HUS.

“He will be detained for investigation under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which is causing death by reckless and dangerous driving.

“If convicted, they can be sentenced to between five and 10 years in prison and a fine of not less than RM20,000 and not more than RM50,000,” he said.

He also appealed to the public who have information regarding the incident to contact traffic investigation officer, Assistant Superintendent Lucas Apin at 013-8246881 / 082- 259900 or any nearby police station.
