Naza Premira Sdn. Bhd. announced that they will cease operations for the Vespa brand with effect from 1^stJanuary 2020.

The news was confirmed by Group Executive Chairman & Group CEO of Naza Corporation Holdings Sdn. Bhd., SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin.

“Since July, the Naza Group and Piaggio Group have been in mutual discussion with regards to the separation. We thank the Piaggio Group for our nine-year partnership and wish them all the best with their new partner.”

He added that letting the brand go was due to the corporation reassessing and strengthening their operations.

The company will continue to provide vehicle service, parts, warranty and aftersales service until 31^stDecember 2019.

Although the news may come as no surprise to some, executives from the Piaggio Group had brushed aside the question on many occasions prior to this. The last such instance was during the Moto Guzzi V85TT Asia Pacific Media Launch in May 2019 which took place in Thailand.

As for the future distributor, it is expected that Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd. will take over the operations. This in view of them already being the custodians of two other Piaggio Group brands namely Moto Guzzi and Aprilia.

Special Service Clinic and Merdeka Campaign for Aprilia and Moto Guzzi Owners

Goh Brothers official workshops rolled out a special Service Clinic and Merdeka Campaign for Aprilia and Moto Guzzi owners.
The offer includes just RM 10 for an original engine oil filter.
Please visit the nearest Goh Brothers workshop for more details.

The official imported and distributor of Aprilia motorcycles in Malaysia, Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd. has rolled out a special Service Clinic and Merdeka Campaign for Aprilia owners.

The campaign seeks to care for Aprilia and Moto Guzzi owners in the country, letting them enjoy their pride and joy without as much as a worry.

As Juan Chow Wee, General Manager of Didi Resources put it, listening to customers goes beyond just selling motorcycles.

Through this special clinic, the official Goh Brothers workshops are offering the original engine oil filter from just RM 10. Together with semi-synthetic engine oil change, parts and labour, the cost totals only from RM 270 for an oil change service. (A big bike service at official service centres usually cost from RM 350 and upwards.)

The promotion is available at official Goh Brothers workshops (GBMC) in both Aprilia and Moto Guzzi official dealers.

Ownership and maintenance of large capacity motorcycles doesn’t necessarily mean high costs at official workshops. Do note that technicians are trained to carry out the job and only approved tools and machinery are used. Also, servicing at the official workshop prevents from voiding your motorcycle’s warranty.

Hanya RM10 Untuk ‘Oil Filter’ Original Aprilia Dan Moto Guzzi!

Kebiasaannya pengguna motosikal jenis Aprilia dan Moto Guzzi perlu membelanjakan lebih RM350 untuk servis penuh – minyak enjin, penapis minyak dan upah – tetapi Didi Resources, pengedar rasmi kedua-dua jenama motosikal Itali itu sedang menawarkan harga istimewa!

Pelanggan kini hanya dikenakan RM10 bagi pertukaran penapis minyak sekaligus menjimatkan kos keseluruhan servis yang kini bermula serendah RM270!

Selain daripada promosi penapis minyak, Didi Resources turut menawarkan harga istimewa bagi alat ganti penting lain antaranya, pad brek dari RM190.90 dan penapis udara dari Rm49.90 sekaligus mengurangkan beban kos servis.

Pada masa sama, tawaran ini diadakan bagi meningkatkan kesedaran tentang pentingnya penjagaan dan servis motosikal dilakukan dengan pusat berdaftar bagi mengelak risiko penggunaan alat ganti bukan original sekaligus dapat memberi kesan negatif terhadap prestasi motosikal lalu menggugat keselamatan penunggang.

Ketika ini, kebanyakkan pemilik memiliki stigma bahawa pusat servis mengenakan caj yang tinggi berbanding bengkel biasa.

Bagaimanapun, menerusi kempen ini, Didi Resources percaya mampu meyakinkan orang ramai tentang kepentingan servis di pusat servis berdaftar.

Kempen servis ‘Never Before’ berjalan dari 1 Ogos 2019 hingga 30 September 2019!

Bawa Balik Moto Guzzi Idaman Secara Percuma Sehingga 6 Bulan!

Didi Resources Sdn Bhd, pengedar rasmi Moto Guzzi menawarkan promosi luar biasa buat peminat jenama motosikal Itali itu.

2019 Aprilia Shiver 900 Launched (from RM 72,200)

Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd. launched the 2019 Aprilia Shiver 900 today.
It features a number of redesigns, mechanical and electronic updates.
It also shares a number of components with the RSV4 and Tuono V4 1100.

Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd. launched the 2019 Aprilia Shiver 900 today.

The Shiver 900 marks the first model launched by the new Aprilia Malaysia, since their confirmation as the new distributor, their inaugural track day and opening of a new service centre at The Gasket Alley located in Petaling Jaya. Mr. Goh Kian Sin and Mr. Juan Chow Wee, the Managing Director and General Manager of Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd., respectively, unveiled the new bike.

Being a naked standard, the Shiver 900 should open the door to more Malaysian bikers to the Aprilia brand. It is undoubtedly more accessible than the RSV4 superbike and Tuono V4 1100.

Its predecessor, the Shiver 750 sold well in Malaysia and well-known worldwide as a supremely reliable motorcycle.

The 2019 Shiver 900 was introduced at Intermot 2018.

Highlights:

896.1cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 8-valve, 90^oV-Twin engine.
The engine produces 95.2 bhp (70 kW) at 8,750 RPM, 90 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM.
New more efficient exhaust system.

Pistons with reduced friction.
Semi-dry internal lubrication circuit reduces power losses.
More efficient fuel-injectors.
Automatic decompressor to ease starting when the engine is cold.
Redesigned clutch reduces lever effort by 15%.

The 2019 Shiver 900 enters its third year of production since 2017.
Ride-by-wire (rbw) throttle (the Shiver 750 was the first production bike to use that technology).
3 ride mode modes: Sport, Touring, Rain.
Marelli 7SM ECU shard with the RSV4 and Tuono 1100 V4.
Advanced traction control with three level and switchable.
Continental dual-channel ABS.
4.3-inch TFT screen (adopted from the RSV4 and Tuono).

The TFT features Aprilia MIA multimedia and phone connectivity, plus navigation (through the smartphone app).

Redesigned fuel tank side covers, side panels, tail and front mudguard.
Kayaba forks adjustable for preload and rebound damping.

Sachs rear shock is adjustable for preload and rebound damping.
Offered in Challenging Red and Innovation Dark colours.

95 bhp may not seem much, but the most important factor here is the spread of 2,250 RPM between maximum torque and peak horsepower. This is what’s known as an engine’s “flexibility.” A wider spread means the torque curve is smoother, besides allowing the bike to accelerate quickly in any gear.

The Shiver 900 ought to inherit the Shiver 750’s great handling characteristic, since it retains similar chassis architecture.

The 2019 Aprilia Shiver 900 is fully-imported and priced from RM 72,000 (including SST but not on-the-road).

The bike is available from Aprilia Malaysia at The Gasket Alley, Welly World Cycle Sg. Buloh and Sheng Fatt Sdn. Bhd. in Penang. Please visit the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/apriliaofficialmalaysia/ and https://www.aprilia.com/en_EN/ for more information.
