MV Agusta has done everything that it should to make this Brutale one of the best naked bike ever on its lineup. The design of this bike are perfect. It looks brutal and it looks powerful. The competitor of this bike came from Ducati Monster 795/796 and Triumph Speed Triple. What’s even better is that this Brutale is about 100GBP cheaper that the Speed Triple. (more…)

It is about time for me to update the review of the Shinko EVO SR877 that I have used to my Lagenda 115ZR since May 2011. This time it is about riding in the rain.
I picked up my Lagenda 115ZR after test riding the Axelo for Kapcai magazine. At that time, there is a little drizzle and I was thinking whether to take my bike on the road or not. Then, I think, this is a good time to test the Shinko SR877 on wet condition. So, I did. I ride it in the rain. (more…)
Here I would like to say my thanks to QBEE Motor Group Sdn Bhd, the company that brings us the Shinko Motorcycle Tyres from Korea and the BMC Air Filters from Italy, for their support to small time blogger like me. I’m honoured to have the recognition by QBEE Motor Group which has noticed the importance of Internet media such MotoMalaya.net blog. It is also good to know that Manfred from QBEE Motor Group has invited me to go to Sepang MotoGP and sponsored me a K1 Grandstand ticket. That is actually my first MotoGP experience. Usually I just sit at home at watched it on TV. I remember that sometime I need to skip class just to watched the MotoGP which happens Sunday, which is not a weekend in Kelantan! At that time, the most popular rider is Mick Doohan with his Repsol Honda livery and single-sided swing-arm. It was a beautiful bike at that time. Now, the Honda glory has been liven up by Casey Stoner who just wins the 2011 MotoGP championship. (more…)

My colleague, Syed Azrinizal has sent me set of images of the Racing Boy modified Yamaha 135LC ES 5-speed at Sepang MotoGP by tagging of the name in FB. We both have the same bike with same color that is black. At that time, the white LC ES was hard to find the stock, so I just pick the black one since I’m eager to get it. I have observed and checked with RB website to see what kind of parts are fitted to this LC ES and here is what I’ve found out: (more…)
I must say that AGV is a highly established brand of helmets and very popular due to the recognition given by Valentino Rossi in MotoGP series. AGV is an expensive helmet brand, where it can fetch up to USD1000 for special model with lots of safety features minus the weight. Anyway, you can still get your AGV for just about USD220 for the entry level model like the K3 Top Celebr-8 Yellow.

I was at the right place and at the right moment when I walked to the Givi booth at Sepang MotoGP last week. It was the time when Toni Elias, the MotoGP rider with number 24 bike, was on the signing session with the fans. I was at the front and there I grab a nice Givi cap with Toni Elias poster which is both signed by him. I just got a great memento from Sepang MotoGP. (more…)
Naza Blade 250, 250R and 650R are a great line-up from Naza for bikers on tight budget. The price are much affordable compared to other bikes on the same category. The specs are also good with 75 degree V-twin engine for the 250 and 90 degree V-twin engine for the 650. Front brakes comes with double disc for the R model which should helps in terms of 100-0km/h range. The front forks is upside down type which helps to minimise the unsprung weight (the weight that not attached to the chassis). Not just that, the engine is DOHC and EFI equipped. Very high specced bike for a very little price.
What do you think guys (or gals)?

I’ve met Mr H yesterday at Puchong and he brought his newly restored 1997 Ducati Monster M600. Even though this is a restored M600, Mr. H choose not to overdone it by making it looks like new. He said he just want the bike to look ‘well-kept’ but not trying to much to become to look like ‘new’. (Senang cakap nak bagi nampak biasa je, tak nampak macam baru lepas restore). We have just recently viewed the 2011 Ducati Monster 795 which has just been released here in Malaysia, so, this M600 attracts my eyes and I didn’t let the chance to slip to get the picture taken. M600 looks small and much more beginners friendly in terms of weight and ride height. I’m an underbone rider and never had the chance to ride a big bikes like this, but after trying to seat in and leaning it to about 45 degree to the side, I think this bike is easy to handle. The design are simple and everything that it have seems well placed together. I like how it looks and the red/gold colour combination works perfect. To Mr. H, thank you for the opportunity and thanks for restoring the M600 to its glory that it should have. (more…)
