Sights from the Malaysian leg of the first ever Ducati #WeRideAsOne global ride that painted Kuala Lumpur red with the sounds of roaring Desmo L-twins.
Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) telah peruntukkan RM10 juta sebagai kos jangka pendek tangani masalah banjir kilat yang kerap berlaku di sekitar Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur telah dilanda banjir kilat sebanyak tiga kali sejak Disember tahun lalu sekaligus menimbulkan rasa tidak senang dikalangan orang ramai yang tinggal dan bekerja di sekitar ibu kota.
Susulan itu, Pengarah Eksekutif DBKL, Datuk Azmi Abdul Hamid berkata daripada kos RM10 juta itu, separuh daripadanya akan digunakan bagi membeli peralatan termasuk 20 pam air dan beg pasir.
Sementara baki RM5 juta lagi akan dibelanjakan bagi menaik taraf sistem saliran sedia ada di kawasan ‘hotspot’.
Menurut Azmi, setakat ini DBKL hanya mempunyai empat pam air.
“Untuk fasa pertama, kami akan tambah 20 unit pam air berharga RM20,000 seunit.
“Proses ini dijangka siap selepas Aidilfitri dan semua pam tersebut akan diletakkan di pejabat DBKL yang berhampiran dengan kawasan ‘hotspot’,” jelasnya. – NST

Let’s be honest. The adventure bike segment is booming; hence you see every manufacturer racing to the drawing board trying to create the most appealing ADV machine on the planet.
MV Agusta is among the latest manufacturer making a bold step into the segment by introducing two new adventure machines, the Lucky Explorer 9.5 and Lucky Explorer 5.5, at EICMA 2021.
The Lucky Explorer 5.5 is MV’s strategy in providing a more affordable and accessible motorcycle for the customers.
This is achieved by a joint collaboration with Qianjiang Motorcycle, the same company that owned the Benelli brand.
The 5.5 is powered by the same parallel-twin engine found in the Benelli TRK 502 but with an increased bore and stroke.
Apart from notable brands following the same move, the smaller manufacturer is also moving in the same direction, particularly in Europe and Asia.
The Brix Venturi 500 and Colove 500X are several bike brands that can be easily recognized as Honda’s CB500X clone.
The newest addition to the party is the KL Raticosa 500X, another ADV bike that actually shares the same engine configuration as the Honda CB500X.
This means the Raticosa 500X is equipped with a 471cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that makes 48hp and 43.3Nm.
Despite the similarities, Honda never actually agreed to the cross-sharing platform, but somehow the CB500X engine can be found on more than a few bikes available in the market.
Nevertheless, like every typical adventure motorcycle, the Raticosa 500X features adventure-ready specifications, including a long travel suspension, inverted forks and dual-purpose tires.
The bike also features 19-inch front wheels and 17-inch rear wheels, fully-adjustable Kayaba forks, Kayaba shocks and Nissin callipers.
With a seat height of 820mm and a kerb weight of just 178kg, the Raticosa 500X looks promising to be the next popular and affordable adventure bike in Europe alongside the Benelli TRK 502.
Special zones dedicated for motorcyclists to stop at traffic lights for added safety
Located at Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Tun Perak
Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) has set up a designated stop zone at a few traffic lights around Kuala Lumpur specifically for motorcyclists. The Kuala Lumpur City Hall has incorporated this to ensure the safety of motorcyclists when riding in and around the city. (more…)
Once again, KL Bike Week returns for its 2015 edition. Organisers Red Garage Malaysia is hosting the annual two-wheeled soiree in the grounds of Lanai MaTIC off Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. The two-day event starts today and will run until tomorrow (Dec 19).

This year, KL Bike Week 2015 organisers have arranged with city officials to have parts of Jalan Ampang leading towards the event grounds closed the hopes of making things easier for bikers coming in and out. Worry not as you can still visit the event by taking a train to either KLCC or Dang Wangi as both stations are just 10-minute walks from Lanai MaTIC. You can refer to the map we’ve attached below.
Another key highlight of the event this year besides the mass show of all things two wheeled are the presence of several local bands tasked at providing the event’s soundtrack from its main stage. Of course, the main highlight of the roster this year is none other than legendary local rock band Wings who will headline the stage on Saturday evening.
We took a tour in the early hours of the event earlier today to see what you can expect from KL Bike Week 2015 (#KLBW2015).
First of all, you’ll see plenty of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Much of the local Malaysian Harley-Davidson owners community will be present in full force.
KL Bike Week is also a mecca for many custom bike owners and enthusiasts. You’ll see them at every corner and perhaps resting under a tree like this threesome.
KL Bike Week is also the perfect place to hunt for bargains. Plenty of vendors are present here offering various things from souvenirs to apparels, as well as various bike parts, riding gear, not to mention services as well such as on-site bike detailing.
The amount of kits on sale are impressive too, and would please just about any DIY biker buff. What caught our attention today was this, the VOLO Advance Braking Indication system.
However, should you fancy some of the finer things the two-wheeled world can offer, you can also indulge in artisan crafts. This selection of custom-made helmets and wood paintings made by Indonesian bike artisans Riders Rules are one example.
Should you be the type who’s always carrying a cheque book in your pocket with a finer taste for bikes, then you might just find yourself oogling over some rarities up for sale by specialist importers present. We absolutely love this Ducati Paul Smart we found on display by specialist importers Sri Changgong Sdn Bhd.
Besides that, Sri Changgong’s collection also includes a range of classic Japanese GP-derived two-stroke sports bikes. The Yamaha RZV 500R and the two TZRs next to it have indeed reignited our love for two-strokers.
Sadly though, some bikes you’ll see on the grounds of KL Bike Week 2015 aren’t for sale, like this rare Honda NM4 Vultus maxi-scooter. Yes, you read that right, this blacked-out thing is a SCOOTER. And beleive it or not, it is taking all the limelight away from the blacked-out MV Agusta parked next to it.
Of course, KL Bike Week isn’t all about two-wheels. There are plenty of independent food vendors and stalls or gerai with a rich selection of F&B. Even bikers need to fuel up too, and so should you.
Our visit during the early hours today was short, so no sights of massive biker groups mingling around just yet. But this bloke walking around with a fiesty-looking parrot on his shoulder was interesting to say the least.
Also making an appearance is the 1Malaysia custom cruiser built by the famed Orange County Choppers. Was this budgeted using the hotly contested RM2.6 billion? Hmmm…
Got the need for speed? Well then, let BikesRepublic.com and Shell Advance remedy that for you virtually! Yes, we are present this year together with our partners Shell Advance Malaysia and you can win exclusive prizes in our simulator tournament just by visiting our booth!
So? What are you waiting for? Come on down tonight and experience some of the best of Malaysian motorcycling at its finest!
