2025 Suzuki SV650 Returns

The 2025 Suzuki SV650 makes a triumphant return to the Malaysian market.

The SV650 is a long-running model, featuring the venerable 645cc, 90° V-Twin, which has been in circulation since 1999. The reasons for its long-life are easy to see: Refined and trouble-free from the very beginning, plenty of torque and useable powerband, and mounted on a super agile chassis.

It is also a practical and accessible bike, promising plenty of thrills for new and veteran riders alike.

Unfortunately, this is the SV650’s swan song edition, as the V-Twin engine will be fully replaced by the newer parallel-twin.

From the Press Release

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 19 April 2025 (Saturday) – Suzuki Malaysia proudly announces the arrival of one of its most iconic motorcycles – the Suzuki SV650. More than just a return, this marks the final edition of a legendary V-Twin roadster, embodying the spirit of the Samurai – refined, powerful, and fearless.

The reintroduction of the SV650 was unveiled in conjunction with the annual AMI-Suzuki Syoknya Raya! 2025, held at the MATRADE Exhibition Hall, Kuala Lumpur.

This special occasion was not only a launch event but also a festive celebration of the Suzuki Familia – bringing together proud Suzuki bike owners from across the country for a joyful annual Hari Raya gathering.

SV650: Embrace The Spirit of Samurai Warrior

The full heritage of the Suzuki SV650 stands proudly as a two-wheeled icon — blending character and performance in a way few motorcycles can. With its muscular 645cc V-Twin engine, nimble chassis, and retro-modern styling, it offers a riding experience that excites both new and seasoned riders alike. It truly embodies Suzuki’s enduring spirit, where precision engineering meets the soul of a warrior. This final edition marks the celebration of an iconic chapter, honouring a legacy that has brought together a global community of passionate riders for over two decades.

The Suzuki SV650 channels the spirit of the modern-day samurai — refined, responsive, and always in control. At the heart of the bike lies its iconic Lattice Trellis Frame paired with a compact 645cc V-Twin engine — a combination as precise and balanced as a samurai’s katana in the hands of a skilled warrior. This lightweight and responsive pairing delivers unwavering confidence in real-world riding, whether weaving through city traffic or carving through tight corners.

Blending classic styling with modern engineering, the SV650 offers an agile and
connected ride, echoing the discipline and harmony of a true Samurai. Modern features
further elevate the experience:

Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist helps maintain engine idle during take-off and low-speed manoeuvres — ideal for novice riders mastering their technique.
Suzuki Easy Start System allows for effortless, one-touch ignition—swift and efficient like a warrior’s instinct.
A slim, lightweight body and low seat height (785mm) make it accessible, intuitive, and confidence-inspiring for riders of all levels.

The Suzuki SV650 is priced at RM29,900 (excluding registration, road tax and insurance), and is available in a variety of bold colours – Pearl Vigor Blue / Metallic Mat Black No.2 (CGJ), Pearl Mat Shadow Green / Metallic Mat Black No.2 (C2L), and Metallic Mat Black No.2 (YKV).

It is now available at authorized Suzuki Big Bike World and Suzuki Station Plus dealerships nationwide. Visit www.suzuki.com.my to find your nearest showroom and embrace the Spirit of The Samurai.

Return of Suzuki into Competitive Racing – Be Part of a Legacy!

At the same event, Suzuki Malaysia has introduced the AMI Suzuki Motorsport (ASM) racing team with the SV650 project serving as the foundation for this exciting new initiative that connects owners directly to Suzuki’s racing journey. The team will compete in both the MAM Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK) under the MSBK1000 category and MotoMSF under the MSF Superbike category. ASM also unveiled its race-prepared GSX-R1000R superbike, developed with performance upgrades by Yoshimura Japan. This machine was proudly showcased during the event as a symbol of Suzuki’s return to competitive racing.

To ensure a strong and competitive presence on the grid, ZK Racing led by former Moto3 rider Zulfahmi Khairudin and his experienced crew, has been entrusted by Suzuki Malaysia to manage the technical preparation of the race bikes as well as the overall race team operations throughout the season. The ASM campaign features two factory-backed teams with AMI-Suzuki Motorsport (ASM) led by national WSBK talent Adam Norrodin, and the Mobilub Suzuki Racing Team (MSRT), which fields five riders including three international talents. Together, they promise an action-packed season ahead.

Huge Fire at Putra Heights Prompts Evacuation of Residents

Residents of Putra Heights, Puchong had a rude awakening on the Second Day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri when a main gas pipeline burst and resulted in a massive fire.

According to several sources, the incident began at approximately 8.10 a.m. when a 500m gas pipeline along Jalan Putra Harmoni burst and caught fire.

Boon Siew Honda Welcomes Kunitomo Asano as MD and CEO

Boon Siew Honda welcomes Mr. Kunitomo Asano as the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), succeeding Mr. Mitsuharu Funase, who has been appointed General Manager of the Motorcycle Race Division at Honda Racing Corporation.

Mr. Asano officially assumes office on 1st April 2025. Previously serving as Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Boon Siew Honda, he brings over 20 years of experience in the motorcycle industry, 10 years in Japan and another 10 years in international markets, including Thailand, India, and Malaysia. His deep understanding of both global trends and local market dynamics positions him well to drive Boon Siew Honda’s continued growth.

Press Information

Reflecting on his journey, Mr. Asano recalls how his studies in Urdu and Chinese unexpectedly proved valuable in Malaysia, allowing him to connect more deeply with the local culture. His career with Honda began with an assignment in Malaysia, where he first forged a strong connection with the country. Over the years, he has gained extensive experience in product planning, export business, and market strategy across diverse regions.

Furthermore, during his tenure as CSMO, Mr. Asano played a pivotal role in stabilising and growing sales while strengthening operational efficiency.

By integrating advanced technology, expanding after-sales services, and reinforcing Honda’s reputation for reliability, he envisions a stronger and more competitive Boon Siew Honda.

Use of AI to Catch Speeding Drivers

The Awareness Automatic System (AWAS) will introduce an upgraded AI-powered ‘point-to-point’ (P2P) method to measure vehicle travel duration and distance, enabling the detection of speeding violations. A trial run is expected to begin this June.

This pilot project, designed to replace the current static speed enforcement method, will monitor two highway routes:

Genting Sempah Tunnel to Gombak Rest Stop;
Senawang Toll Plaza to Simpang Ampat (Alor Gajah) Toll Plaza.

Additionally, the system will be installed at high-risk accident zones along longer stretches, such as the Menora Tunnel to Sungai Perak Rest Stop route.

Datuk Jana Santhiran Muniayan, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Transport (MOT), explained in an interview with Berita Harian that speeding drivers can be detected by toll plaza sensors if they arrive at their destination earlier than the estimated travel time.

He mentioned that a company has already been appointed to handle the proof of concept (POC) for this system without any financial burden on the government.

“The pilot will be conducted on two selected highway routes. If proven effective, we are ready to implement it fully. The system, installed at toll plazas, will record travel time based on distance coverage.”

“For example, if a driver travels from Jalan Duta (Kuala Lumpur) to Tanjung Malim (Perak) faster than the allowed time, their vehicle’s license plate will be automatically detected, and a summons will be issued,” he said.

Jana Santhiran added that the AI-powered system can also detect if a driver stops at any location to artificially extend their travel time and evade detection.

“This means drivers cannot escape being caught for speeding, as the system calculates violations based on distance and time,” he emphasized.

Earlier in January, Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that the AWAS cameras would be upgraded with the point-to-point method, replacing the previous static enforcement approach.

Driver Who Rammed a Senior Citizen under Overhead Bridge Detained

The driver of a car that struck a senior citizen taking shelter under a bridge has been detained. Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd. Zamzuri Mohd. Isa, said a video of the incident involving the 76-year-old motorcyclist went viral on social media.

The elderly man, who was sheltering from the rain in the emergency lane under the bridge, was seriously injured after being hit by a car driven by a 40-year-old driver. The incident occurred on the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway, after the Sungai Besi Toll.

“Preliminary investigations found that the motorcycle had stopped in the emergency lane under the bridge to take shelter before being rear-ended by a car.

“As a result of the accident, the motorcyclist suffered severe head injuries and was taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) for further treatment,” continued Assistant Commissioner Mohd. Zamzuri.

He said the case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving that endangers other road users.

“Members of the public with any information regarding the accident can contact the Tun HS Lee Traffic Police Station at 03-2071 9999, the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department Hotline at 03-2026 0267/0269, or any nearby police station,” he said.

2025 BMW C 400 X and 2025 BMW C 400 GT Launched in Malaysia

BMW Motorrad Malaysia has launched the new 2025 BMW C 400 X and 2025 BMW C 400 GT.

These two premium models are the part of the “C”-series of BMW Motorrad’s “Urban Mobility” segment, thus the letter stands for “City.” The range also consists of the electric CE 02, and CE 04.

To refresh, the C 400 GT is equipped with a fully enclosing bodywork and large windscreen, fitting the “GT” (Gran Turismo/Grand Touring) moniker. The C 400 X, on the other hand, is the sportier version (BMW calls it “rugged”) which is perfect for scything through traffic and corners.

Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, said, “The Urban Mobility segment was the second-best performing segment for BMW Motorrad Malaysia in 2024, following only our popular Adventure segment. While the BMW CE 02 and BMW CE 04 represent our embracing of electrification within the segment, the 2025 BMW C 400 X and the 2025 BMW C 400 GT meanwhile embody our approach of Technology Openness – giving our customers the Power of Choice in navigating the city streets.”

Engine and transmission

Both variants are powered by the proven 350cc, four-valve, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a maximum power output of 34 hp (25 kW) at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 35 Nm at 5,750 rpm.

The engine is paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and a powerset swingarm with high torsional rigidity.

Safety features

Both are equipped with BMW Motorrad ABS Pro as standard.

This feature ensures safety even when braking at a lean angle, and also prevents the wheels from locking even when the brake lever is pressed quickly and reduces abrupt changes in steering force.

Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) function linked to the ABS Pro provides sensitive response, as well as high braking and driving stability with the best possible deceleration even when cornering.
It works when the “sensor box” (ECU) delivers a certain deceleration value during braking, a simultaneous acceleration request by the driver is identified as implausible, preventing the throttle valve from opening, thus ensuring the vehicle remains stable and the braking distance is reduced.

Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Engine Drag Torque Control (MSR) are also standard for the 2025 BMW C 400 X and 2025 BMW C 400 GT.
DTC offers even more safety when accelerating at a lean angle or in slippery road conditions.

MSR prevents unstable riding conditions that can occur during coasting or abrupt throttle reduction. The MSR achieves this by opening the throttle valves so far as to equalise the drag torque and stabilise the vehicle.

Connectivity and navigation

The C 400 X features a large 6.5-inch TFT display as standard.

As for the C 400 GT, a 10.25-inch TFT display is standard. The Connectivity Pro package offers split-screen functionality and map navigation.

Both models also come with navigation preparation as an option, allowing riders to easily integrate the BMW Motorrad Connected Ride Navigator or Connected Ride Cradle for enhanced navigation capabilities.

Increased storage space and accessories

Both variants also offer increased storage space, enhancing practicality for both daily commuting and longer trips.
The 2025 BMW C 400 X now provides an additional 3 liters of storage under the seat.

The 2025 BMW C 400 GT offers up to 12 liters of additional storage, including front pockets.
The windshield on the C 400 GT is equipped with a manually adjustable windshield as standard.

Both models come with luggage grid as standard, additional accessory can be accompanied by a 43.5-litre top case – which not only provides 13.5-litres more volume than before but offers a 10 kg payload compared to the previous 5 kg.
The new top case also features electrification, in the form of interior lighting and a USB charging port.

C 400 X comes with keyless ride and Headlight Pro as standard.
There are also new original BMW Motorrad accessories, such as body protectors and hand guards for both models.

The New BMW C 400 X, in addition to a redesigned front, comes standard in the new “Rugged” model variant, featuring a bold and dynamic design with Kalamata metallic matt body color, coloured seats in red and black, red rims, tyres in “offroad” look, footboard inlays, golden front brake calipers and heavily tinted windshield which gives the model a sporty appeal.

The New BMW C 400 GT, on the other hand, comes standard in an “Exclusive” model variant, offering an elegant and sophisticated look with Diamond White metallic body color, golden rims, seat seam/embroidery in rim colour, floor lighting or footboard inlays, golden front brake calipers and slightly tinted windshield.

Financial Services

With the Financing Plan from BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, ownership of the 2025 BMW C 400 X and the 2025 BMW C 400 GT starts from RM668.00 per month and RM748.00 per month respectively (based on the Straight Line Financing estimates of an 90% loan on a 7-year tenure). Owners can also enjoy additional benefits with the Industry-Leading Premium Engine Oil Inclusive, Service Inclusive, and Warranty Extension Programmes by BMW Motorrad Malaysia.

The retail price (on the road, with BMW Motorrad Malaysia’s All-New 3-Year Warranty and 3-Year Roadside Assistance Programmes, without insurance) for the New BMW C 400 X and the New BMW C 400 GT are:

The 2025 BMW C 400 X: RM47,500.00
