Mr. Apeyjal of Creative Makeover just got a very special client in his shop. This is Momoto MM1 that is originally known as the Petronas FP1. The launching of this bike is due today 28th June 2012 at Sepang International Circuit. Bro Apeyjal will have his own track time with this MM1 and I guess he will just have a good time with it. I’m happy to know that this racing legend will come back again to our shore after all the story that went up about it being stored somewhere in UK. It is great to know somebody has taken the effort to bring this FP1 back in its full glory.   (more…)

I got this from Awateff Al Jefry II FB as posted at Yamaha 135LC Malaysia FB page. It looks like this new livery features a lot of speed lines compared to the previous livery version. I’m hoping to see a nice livery for the 5-speed too.

Yamaha Lagenda 115ZR also got it livery update with this new dynamic lines and maintaining the Yamaha Racing Blue colour that is the same colour with the YZF-R1. The changes that we can see  is that this time the front brake has been replaced to single-piston caliper compared to previous version that is equipped with 2-piston caliper. For this 115ZR, I think the single-piston is enough for the braking power since this bike can tops at 100km/h only in stock condition. The wheels are also now in black colour compared to the all blue colour for the previous model. At the time the blue wheel is introduced, it looks weird but now it is looking just nice. Black is a good colour too and it easily blends with this bike well.

Price for Yamaha Lagenda 115ZR 2012 is RM5,260

I found this Honda C70 with 2-cylinder L-twin engine setup on Youtube from Central Java, Indonesia. This mod is extreme considering the 70cc single-cylinder Honda engine is being added with one more additional cylinder. This is like combining two engine into one. Imagine the difficulties in connecting the crankshaft together. The timing of the spark plug. The electronics. The welding of the block. All needs to work perfectly and in harmony.

A great piece of engineering. You can see the video embed after the jump  (more…)

I have just a spent my time reading this info from official Honda site about its RC-V model that is being used in MotoGP races. The time spent is well worth every seconds if you are into bikes. It answer some of the burning question that lingers in our mind about their racing RC-V. How does Honda create the world-beating MotoGP race bikes?

I’m sure you will like it when you are there. Heads up to: http://world.honda.com/RC-V/?r=m

It is good to know that Modenas are now taking agressive steps in winning the hearts of Malaysian bikers. This time they have introduced new colour for the Ace 115 that is blue. Previously, Modenas Ace 115 comes in two colour choices that is Sand White and Fire Bricks(Red). After that they introduced a new colour that is the Ivory Green. That makes up 3 colour choices, now they are adding the blue that makes 4 colours to choose from. In my opinion, the livery design of this Ace 115 is one of the best Modenas has ever made. It has a great looking dynamic lines (lines that make the bikes look fast, even when standing still), simple and trendy.

Kawasaki has just recently launched a gem in their bike lineup. This is Kawasaki D-Tracker 150. Before this, we are accustomed to one of the popular scrambler bike from Kawasaki that is the KLX150S, but this D-Tracker differentiate itself from KLX150S by having smaller tyre for both wheel at 14-inch but with wider profile compared to the KLX150S at 19-inch for the front and 16-inch at the rear.

Another great features is the 5-step adjustable Uni-Track rear suspension to better suits your riding style. Both of the brakes are equipped with single disc brake type with 212mm for the front and 156mm for the rear. If you are still thinking about the intake system of this bike, I can assure you that this bike is still using carburetor or more specific Keihin NCV 24. The 250cc D-Tracker X comes with the fuel injection system with Keihin 34mm single barrel throttle body and I thought this should comes with it too.

Also included is the electric starter for easier startup. One of the reason people like to use scrambler or offroad bike for daily uses is because of the higher strength and higher durability of the chassis and parts of the bikes. This can make the bike last longer than normal moped or automatic bike. You also don’t have to worry with bumps and pothole on the road if you accidentally get into them since this kind of bike are ready to take the abuse. Anyway, it might hurts your butt.

Price for 2012 Kawasaki D-Tracker 150 is at RM9,689.00. Check out the specs and more pictures after the jump   (more…)

Samuel has sent me an email about this radiator protector cover for superbikes. The brand is written ‘KIJ’ on the metal frame of the radiator cover, so, I’m not sure why it is named SUS radiator protector cover in the email that I received. No worries about that. The function of this radiator protector cover, yes, as the name suggests, is to protect the precious radiator from debris, stones and chips from the road from doing damage to it.   (more…)

Josh  has contacted me on Facebook about sending some product pictures of their latest product – an oil cooler set for the Yamaha Exciter (Crypton, Sniper, LC135).  For your information, KTL Tecnic – are the performance tuner based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  In addition to the products they develop under the brand KTR, they are also the agents for Malossi, Arrow Exhausts, Dynojet and a number of other companies.
For the Yamaha Exciter, KTL Tecnic saw the opportunity to replace the original oil filter cover plate with their own KTR design. The engine oil is pumped across a very sturdy aluminum oil cooler.  The tests show that the oil is cooled by 10deg C, with normal riding, and normal oil pressure is maintained.  The cooled oil is then pumped back to the crankshaft and up to the cylinder head.  The sturdy oil cooler has another advantage in that it’s mounted directly in front of the radiator and serves to product the radiato fins from rock damage.
I’m spreading the word to you all reader since in my deepest opinion, this KTL Tecnic Oil Cooler Kit is a great product many extreme tuners are waiting for, since the problem with extreme modification to the engine is the heat. You can contact Josh via the information as shown below. Also be sure to check out more pictures after the jump  (more…)

I like this YZF-R6 very much. It got that great look with that great 4-cylinder engine from Yamaha which is known for high quality parts. The design of Yamaha are not conventional and they always try to mix old and modern style at the same time. This technique produces a bike that have a timeless feel and just right for any period of era. In this particular 2012 Yamaha YZF-R6, it shows a new livery with R6 logo and a little bit of Japan flag ‘rising sun’ flare around it. It just looks great and adds the special interest to the bike.

One more good news is that this bike is coming to Malaysia via Naza Biker Dream!

Well, in the end, you must want to know the price right? I estimated this bike is priced at RM69,000.00. Anyway, if you are interested to feel the power of 600cc R6 engine with lower cost, you can opt for Yamaha XJ6 at RM41k OTR.
