Royal Enfield Classic 350 Launched in Malaysia – From RM23,700

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 has been launched in Malaysia, with a selling price starting from RM 23,700.

Royal Enfield has always been known – although arguably – as the modern classic brand of motorcycles. They are engineered to be simple and their designs are classic to the tee. The company also dominates the middleweight retro segment with 600cc-700cc models. But now, perhaps recognising that motorcyclists have shifted to smaller capacity, lighter, and cheaper motorcycles, RE has decided to venture into the 300cc-450cc segment.

The result is this Classic 350 which appears almost exactly like the Classic 650.

From the Press Release

The Classic 350 on the other hand offers timeless elegance, old-world charm and unshakable character, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 has represented the culture of classic automotive design, aesthetics and engineering, and the very essence of Royal Enfield’s DNA. Today, as the motorcycle is launched in a gleaming new avatar, the refreshed Classic 350 proudly continues to stay true to its roots and remain the defender of elegance while also continuing to defend accessibility.

Launched in Malaysia in five gleaming colourways, across four new variants- Heritage Premium (Medallion Bronze), Signals (Commando Sand), Dark (Gun Grey and Stealth Black) and Chrome (Emerald) – the refreshed Royal Enfield Classic 350 seamlessly integrates efficient feature upgrades like LED headlamps, LED pilot lamp, gear position indicator on cluster and type C USB charging point, while staying true to its signature aesthetic and character.

Additionally, the top variants – Emerald and Dark series – will be offered with Tripper pod as standard fitments along with adjustable levers and LED indicators.

The timeless, signature design of Classic coupled with perfectly-proportioned silhouette has undoubtedly been the most preferred Royal Enfield motorcycle among the Malaysian customers.

With its Unmatched design, unmistakable style. unrivalled craftsmanship and rare blend of character, the Classic truly stands out. Being a mix of modern engineering and traditional handcrafting, the Classic is a really practical everyday ride as well as for quick weekend getaways whether in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, Ipoh, Kuching, Penang, Kuala Terengganu or any of the cities in Malaysia.

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be available starting from RM 23,700 in its new distinct colourways.

Fined RM486,000 for Tailgating

Recently, a lawyer was fined RM486,843.91 (US$109,500) for being found guilty of tailgating the vehicle in front of him.

In Malaysia, more and more drivers are increasingly fond of tailgating, or what is commonly known as ‘cucuk angin,’ while driving on highways. This is a dangerous action, even if the driver in front is driving leisurely or “looking for a rental house.” This behavior is often overlooked by enforcement authorities in Malaysia, but the story is different in Switzerland.

The fine was more than double the value of the car he was driving at the time of the incident. Switzerland has strict laws, and fines are calculated based on the offender’s taxable income. In this case, the man, who hails from Aargau in northern Switzerland near the German border, was driving a BMW 540d.

According to the charges in court, the lawyer was accused of driving too close to the vehicle in front of him at 9:35 a.m. in March 2023 on the A1 highway near the district of Kölliken AG. Video footage taken by the police showed that he was tailgating a vehicle in the overtaking lane for 2.6 kilometers at a speed of 110 to 120 km/h, with the distance between the vehicles estimated to be eight to twelve meters.

The High Court sentenced him in August last year to a conditional fine of 50 times the daily rate of 1,970 Swiss Francs (totaling 98,500 Swiss Francs) with a probation period of two years. He was also required to pay an additional fine of 10,000 Swiss Francs.

The man appealed to the Federal Supreme Court, but his appeal was rejected. The Lausanne judge, as reported on Thursday, stated that “the appeal is unfounded.”

According to the portal Bluewin, the judge upheld the reasoning of the High Court, stating that the man’s driving behavior posed a serious risk to the safety of others.

Denda RM486,000 Sebab ‘Cucuk Angin’

Baru-baru ini, seorang seorang peguam berhadapan dengan denda RM486,843.91 (AS$109,500) kerana didapati mengikut kenderaan di depannya dengan terlalu dekat.

Di Malaysia makin hari makin ramai pemandu yang suka mengikuti rapat atau lebih dikenali sebagai ‘cucuk angin’ ketika memandu di atas lebuh raya. Ia merupakan suatu tindakan yang merbahaya walaupun jika pemandu kenderaan di hadapan sedang ‘santai’ atau “mencari rumah sewa.” Tindakan ini tidak diendahkan oleh penguatkuasa di Malaysia, tetapi, lain ceritanya di Switzerland.

Denda itu lebih dua kali ganda nilai kereta dipandunya ketika kejadian. Undang-undang Switzerland yang ketat dan denda dikira berdasarkan pendapatan bercukai pesalah. Dalam kes ini, lelaki tersebut berasal dari Aargau, utara Switzerland yang bersempadan Jerman sedang memandu sebuah BMW 540d.

Berdasarkan pertuduhan di mahkamah, peguam itu didakwa memandu terlalu dekat dengan kenderaan di hadapannya pada 9.35 pagi, bulan Mac 2023 di lebuh raya A1, berhampiran daerah Kölliken AG. Video yang diambil oleh polis menunjukkan yang dia mengikut rapat kenderaan di lorong memotong sejauh 2.6 kilometer pada kelajuan 110 hingga 120 km/j, dengan jarak antara kenderaan dianggar lapan hingga dua belas meter.

Mahkamah Tinggi menjatuhkan hukuman ke atasnya pada Ogos tahun lalu, iaitu denda bersyarat 50 kali kadar harian 1,970 Swiss Franc (keseluruhan 98,500 Swiss Franc) dengan tempoh percubaan dua tahun. Dia juga perlu membayar denda tambahan 10,000 Swiss Franc.

Lelaki itu merayu sehingga Mahkamah Agung Persekutuan namun ditolak dengan hakim Lausanne yang dilapor pada Khamis berkata, “rayuan itu tidak berasas.”

Menurut portal Bluewin, hakim mengekalkan alasan Mahkamah Tinggi yang menurutnya tingkah laku pemanduan lelaki itu menyebabkan risiko serius kepada keselamatan orang lain.

Modenas Ninja ABS dan Modenas Ninja 500 SE Dilancarkan

Modenas Ninja 500 ABS dan Modenas Ninja 500 SE telah dilancarkan di Malaysia.

Kedua-dua model menggunakan enjin 451cc, selari kembar, DOHC, penyejuk cecair yang menghasilkan 44.8 hp @ 9,000 RPM dan tork 42.6 Nm pada 6,000 RPM. Jarak 3,000 RPM antara tork maksimum dan kuasa bermakna enjin ini fleksibel semasa menunggang, membolehkan “kuasa di mana-mana” dalam julat rev.

Modenas/Kawasaki mendakwa bahawa rangka model ini diilhamkan oleh Ninja 250 untuk kekompakan dan pengendalian. Bersama dengan tangki bahan api 14 liter, Modenas Ninja 500 mempunyai berat curb yang didakwa sebanyak 171 kg. Komponen rangka lain termasuk fork hidraulik 41mm di hadapan, dengan monoshok di belakang. Brek dikendalikan oleh cakera tunggal 310mm yang dicengkam oleh kaliper dua piston di hadapan dan brek cakera tunggal di belakang.

Perbezaan antara Modenas Ninja 500 ABS standard dan Modenas Ninja 500 SE terhad kepada ciri-ciri dan kosmetik tertentu. Yang pertama mempunyai skrin LCD dengan sambungan telefon pintar manakala yang kedua mempunyai skrin TFT berwarna penuh, juga dengan sambungan telefon pintar.

Pilihan warna dan harga jualan adalah Hitam sahaja untuk versi standard, pada harga jualan RM 28,100; manakala SE boleh didapati dalam warna Lime Green (gambar utama), dan Hitam/Merah pada harga jualan RM 30,100. Kedua-dua harga adalah tanpa insurans dan cukai jalan.

Modenas Ninja 500 ABS and Modenas Ninja 500 SE Launched

The Modenas Ninja 500 ABS and Modenas Ninja 500 SE have been launched in Malaysia.

Both models utilise a 451cc, parallel-twin, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine which produces 44.8 hp @ 9,000 RPM and 42.6 Nm of torque at 6,000 RPM. The 3,000 RPM spread between maximum torque and power means the engine is flexible while riding, allowing “power anywhere” in the rev range.

Modenas/Kawasaki claims that the frame was inspired by the Ninja 250’s for compactness and handling. Along with a 14-litre fuel tank, the Modenas Ninja 500 has a claimed curb weight of 171 kg. Other chassis components are 41mm hydraulic forks up front, with a monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by a single 310mm disc gripped by a two-piston caliper in front and a single disc brake at the back.

The differences between the standard Modenas Ninja 500 ABS and Modenas Ninja 500 SE are confined to certain features and cosmetics. The former has an LCD screen with smartphone connectivity while the latter has a full-colour TFT screen, also with smartphone connectivity.

Colour options and selling prices are Black only for the standard version, at the selling price of RM 28,100; while the SE is available in Lime Green (main picture), and Black/Red at the selling price of RM 30,100. Both prices are without insurance and road tax.
