Bikers in India will get a new model of Yamaha YZF-R15 this 6 Sept 2011. Usually this means the bike is for 2012 model. In Malaysia, it is named Yamaha FZ150i whereby in Indonesia it is called Yamaha Vixion. In both countries, the bike came in naked version only. The one in India is the most sought after design that is the full-fairing superbike version. Many FZ150i in Malaysia have modified their bike to be like the YZF-R15 by importing the bodykits or coversets from India.
For Indian bikers, enjoy your new ride! We in Malaysia just hope it will be launched here too. (more…)

Aprilia RS125 is my all time favourite of 2-stroke bike. It features a design that resembles it larger capacity brother with power of almost 30hp.  That’s a huge amount of power for a 125cc engine.

This time it is the moment for it the Aprilia RS4 125, which is a 4-stroke 125cc bike. The tech specs for the engine are as good as it can gets. It features DOHC, FI, Magneti Marelli ECU, 6-speed gearbox, 4-piston front caliper with 300mm and many more.

Anyway, it is much less powerful than the 2-stroke RS125. Some says it is only at 15hp.

Lent Automodified is a well known modder in ASEAN. He is very popular in Malaysia. The work that is done by him exceptionally superb.

This Vixion is a perfect example of his work. The Vixion has been modded to resemble the YZF-R15, but the colour choice and minimalist style makes this Vixion is far better than the original version of YZF-R15.

Congratulation on the work well done bro! Check out more of his work here:

Woah, Shinko is the only manufacturer who can produce Superbike Smoke Bomb tyres, looks really nice and different.
Colourful smoke from the tyre will be produced when you are doing burnout with this Shinko Smoke Bomb Tyre. This tyre is for 2012 releases. And for now, it is for superbike only. Maybe we should all appeal for Shinko to make Smoke Bomb tyres for mopeds!!
Check out the Shinko burnout video after the jump.

KTM Duke 125 and 200 are most awaited by many Malaysian riders here. This time we just might get to see KTM Duke 200 launched tomorrow (26/08/2011) afternoon.

I’m also waiting for the launch of this bike and I really eager to know about the pricing. Rumors said it is priced below RM20k. It means this can compete with Kawasaki Ninja 250R and Honda CBR250R.

UPDATE: It is CKD version. Price is estimated from RM15k – 18k. Very affordable for a continental bike.

UPDATE II: It is going to be launch by our PM tomorrow, but sales only start early next year (2012). Now, there are only 3 unit of concept bike in Malaysia. 2 more picture added after the jump

UPDATE III: It is launched earlier today by our Prime Minister. The bike will be assembled by KTM Motonation factory here in Malaysia. The sale of the bike will start early 2012. KTM Duke 200 is the variation of KTM Duke 125 which is marketed specifically for Asian countries. The European will get the KTM Duke 125 only. Hurray for Malaysia!

UPDATE IV: I forgot to tell you that the lauching has been shown on Buletin Utama TV3 last night (26/8/2011). I also got the video of the launching, but for this few days I actually updating using my phone, so, I can’t access to the video yet. Maybe tomorrow you’ll get to see the launching video.

As always, the Indonesian bikers get a taste of a new bike that is recently launched there before the introduction in Malaysia. I’m getting used to this. This time it is Honda to show their 2nd generation of the beautiful Wave Dash to this New Blade.   (more…)

It seems that this kit is the world’s smallest twin cam desmodromic engine ever made. This kit can be fitted to Honda small cub bikes. Looks like this one can be fitted to Honda C70 here in Malaysia since the engine looks like the Honda CRF70F (picture below).   (more…)
