6. 2015 Kawasaki Z250SL – RM15,739 (basic excluding reg, road tax and ins)
A great model expansion from the KLX250 based engine to a naked street bike. Comes with high quality standard as usual from Kawasaki and proven high reliablity KLX250 motard engine. Lowest price in the category so far (not including the China, Taiwan brand).

5. 2014 Aprilia Shiver 750 – RM43,888 (basic not incl. reg, road tax and ins)
A perfect entry to Italian steed. Aprilia has been a great manufacturer that produce a lot of interesting bikes with a design that exudes power. We just love how the Aprilia RSV4 and Tuono design works. For the most value, we pick the Shiver 750.

4. 2014 Honda CB650F – RM39,999 (basic excluding reg, road tax and ins)
Honda says that this is ‘your entry to Honda’s inline-four’. We agree with that statement. This is the only inline-four from Honda since 2000 to be priced at this level. How good is inline-four? Well, they say the more the merrier. We kind of agree too. But, some also agree that maintenance is not going to be cheap.
Engine: 649cc inline-four, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve
Power: 81.8hp (61kW) @ 9,500RPM
Torque: 63Nm @ 8,000RPM
3. 2012 Yamaha 125ZR GP Edition – RM7,700 (OTR)
Highest performing moped in 125cc available in the market today. 16 years in production already since 1999. No other bikes have ever come close to beat this guy in terms of price, looks and performance. Practical too. 6-speed. Oooohhh.
Engine: 1-cylinder, 124.7cc 2-stroke, reed-valve
Power: 17.17hp @ 8,000RPM
Torque: 16.1Nm @ 7,500RPM
2. 2011 Modenas MR1 – RM3,300 (basic not incl. reg, road tax and ins)
Said to be the ‘Motosikal Rakyat’ or the people’s bike, this bike has been priced as low as it can get. At RM3,300 for a 100cc bike that comes with electric-starter, this is a basic bike that perfect for most of us.
Engine: 1-cylinder, 97.2cc SOHC
Power: unspecified but as long as it can move okay la
Torque: unknown
1. 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2 – RM153,900 (basic not incl. reg, road tax and ins)
We said value-for-money, not cheap. Yes, this is the ultimate value-for-money bike. You’ll get the technological prowess from the Kawasaki Heavy Industries that is built beyond belief. So far, this is the supercharged bike you can buy today. Specially tuned Kayaba suspension makes it handles better. MotoGP and F1 derived dog-ring transmission is the only transmission that can handles the power of it. Cheaper than RC213V-S and 1199 Superleggera. So, we bravely say again, this is a value-for-money bike if you are going to spend RM153,900.
Engine: Supercharged, Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, Inline-4 Cylinder DOHC
Power: 200PS
Torque: unknown
