Randy de Puniet has asked Deus Australia – a popular custom bike modders there to make a middleweight twin with orange, black and white colour scheme. Deus Australia comes up with the Kawasaki W650 and start working on it by replacing the stock tank with custom fitted SR500 fuel tank and speedometer on the center top of it. The headlight takes the cues vintage style along with tachometer to support the overall theme.  (more…)

I had once wished that I could have MotoMalaya’s own merchandise such as stickers and t-shirts. I like to see few great t-shirt on the market which is nicely designed like the one from Shinko SR877 and Yamaha 135LC Extreme Spirit. I’m not sure how you, the readers, might have responded. Maybe you’ll buy, maybe you’ll not.  (more…)

I’m guessing the acronym MR1 refers to ‘Motosikal Rakyat 1’ that literally means ‘the bike for the people’. It is indeed. The price is superbly affordable for a Modenas bike at RM2,948 which is the average money we need to put down for a down payment for a new bike. You’ll have no problem to get a new ride for your first job after you graduated from university. Then, you might be thinking, what about the reliability? Modenas has extended the durability test from 200 hours to 300 hours for 20,000km. That’s a good number for this cheap bike. Here in Malaysia, we use to have problem with cheap likes the one with the brand from China. So, this cheap bike coming from Modenas Malaysia is a good timing.  (more…)

If you can dream it, you can achieve it. I think that is the perfect sentence to explain about this built. BuildElectricMotorcycle.com has uploaded an ‘as you build’ video of this 1967 Honda Dream which has been operated to give modern interpretation by installing 48 volt electric powered motor. The conversion is nice to see since it combines old skool bike with modern technology that is available today. I wish I could do this to my bicycle too. The problem is I don’t have the tool to do it or even a bicycle yet.

I have installed the BMC Air Filter for my 135LC ES with the code FM624/04. I have wrote a preview of the BMC Air Filter here. BMC Air Filter is a superflow air filter which can maintain 98% of air flowing to your engine. The normal paper air filter can only provide 60-70% air flow to the engine. You can imagine this if you try to breathe with a mask covered with paper. I think you won’t be comfortable inside it. I also have changed the spark plug to NGK G-Power CPR8EAGP-9 Platinum Alloy which have smaller center electrode that provide better spark. Usually the changes of air filter should came with the change of spark plug for better performance.   (more…)

Good music + good bike + good videography + good sponsors = SUPERB Video! I like this video very much. It features a very thrilling and exciting ride of Luc1 Supermoto rider Sylvain Bidart (who has won French, Spanish and AMA Supermoto championships) on Honda CRF450. The angle of the 8:59m video are amazing and sometimes I wonder where is the camera being attached. Also notice the line up of great cars at Honda headquarters like the CR-Z.

Yoshimura R77J full stainless end exhaust system will provide better performance for your Honda CBR250R. As I can see from dyno chart, it seems that the power increased from all of the RPM range. This kind of exhaust setup also comes with dB-killer muffler pipe so you can avoid from being summoned by police or any authorities because of the loud exhaust sound.
