The sixth BMW Motorrad Malaysia Night Fuel Kuala Lumpur lifestyle event was a rousing success.

It was held in Kuala Lumpur this time after touring the country throughout the year. Held at the Sungai Besi Royal Malaysia Air Force base, it saw the congregation of hundreds of BMW motorcycle owners and fans.

Night Fuel celebrates the bonding of BMW owners under one roof, over BMW motorcycles, food and great music.

As per tradition, BMW Motorrad Malaysia introduced three new models in Malaysia. There were the much-awaited F 850 GS Adventure, R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure. The R 1250 GS and its Adventure brethren are the most important models of the night as the form the backbone of BMW Motorrad sales. But it wasn’t a case of “another GS” as the R 1250 features a new, bigger engine that’s equipped with variable valve timing technology called “ShiftCam.”

On the entertainment front, Malaysian rock legend, Amy Search got the crowd on their feet along with the band who went through an entire playlist of classic rock songs.

Another tradition was the lucky draw. A lucky attendee went home with a new BMW G 310 GS tonight.

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
