Would You Buy A Restored 1998 Yamaha 125Z For RM90k?

This is not a prank; someone is actually selling a restored Yamaha 125Z for a price of RM90,000.

The post that garnered attention across all social media channels here witnessed an owner seeking at least 90 grand for the 2-stroke moped.

According to the owner, the 1998 125Z is a first-batch bike that’s almost completely restored with a new old stock (NOS) component.

Despite Hong Leong Yamaha Motor ending the production back in 2018, the 125Z remains one of the most sought models due to its unique characteristic and the ability to achieve high speeds.

Nonetheless, the majority of the public expressed their disbelief over the shocking price tag.

Some suggest that despite being restored with the original parts, the RM90k price tag is an overestimation.

While we appreciate the hard work behind every restoration but with a price tag of RM90k, we suggest going for something else instead, perhaps a restored 1984 Yamaha RZ250?

Honda RS150R – Motosikal Supercub Yang Liar

Apabila kita bercerita tentang motosikal cub atau kapchai yang ada di Malaysia, Honda RS150R sudah pasti antara nama yang pertama berada dalam senarai itu dengan rekaannya yang moden dan prestasi yang menakjubkan.
Baru-baru ini, motosikal Honda RS150R itu telah membuktikan dirinya sebagai jentera yang amat boleh diharapkan serta tahan lasak apabila pasangan pengantin baru Mohd Alfishahrin Zakaria dan Diana Latief menunggang sebuah motosikal berkenaan mengelilingi dunia selama enam bulan tanpa sebarang masalah.

Honda RS150R – The unbreakable supercub

Motorcycle Sales Decline in Japan

Motorcycle sales in Japan has dropped precipitously
Sold only 338,000 in 2016 compared to 3.285 million in 1982
Hardest hit is the moped segment

Yes, you read the title correctly.

Ironic as it seems, sales of motorcycles in the birthplace of the many motorcycles around the world have been dropping for many years now.

The Japan News reported that the decline is due to the increasing popularity of low-cost minicars and electric bicycles. Moped sales are the most affected as manufacturers focus on the middleweight and open class motorcycles.

The moped market had to contend with electric bicycles that are less than half the cost. In 2016 alone, there were 540,000 electric bicycles sold, compared to 338,000 motorcycles. The number is a far cry from the 1982 peak of 3.285 million motorcycles sold. In view of this, Honda and Yamaha will join forces to develop a low-cost moped, while still allocating more resources to large capacity motorcycles for export.

Japanese industry observers expressed fear that the emphasis on larger machines will turn away the younger buyers, since big bikes can cost up to six times more than mopeds. The numbers don’t lie: A Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) in 2015 reported that the average age of a motorcycle buyer was 53 years old, a 1.5-years increase over the past two years.

On the other hand, sales for 126- to 250cc machines have increased by 20 percent in 2016.

“If we can provide the younger generation with the fun and excitement they’re expecting, they’ll come back to us,” said Noriake Abe, chief officer of Honda’s motorcycle operations.

Are we seeing the same shift towards bigger motorcycles here in Malaysia as the population gets older, and the availability of affordable large capacity motorcycles?

Japanese Pizza Delivery Scooter Racing is a Thing?

Japanese pizza delivery scooter racing is actually a thing in where else but Japan where riders race against each other on three-wheeled scooters that Japanese use to deliver pizzas.

In the video, you can see two Honda Gyros go head to head with riders in full racing gears and a lot of knee dragging action.

Small capacity scooters like the Honda Gyro are used in Japan to delivers pizzas due to their great mileage and tax deducting properties.

Yes, you read that right. There is actually a motorsport in Japan (where else, of course) that takes the idea of fast pizza pie delivery into a super competitive, adrenaline-filled, petrol-powered extravaganza (not like the Pizza Hut pie). This is the Japanese Pizza Delivery Scooter Racing. (more…)
