Dianggarkan seramai 50,000 peminat permotoran dari seluruh negara akan memeriahkan program RXZ Fighter yang julung kalinya akan diadakan di Serambi Teruntum, Kuantan, Pahang selama dua hari, bermula Jumaat, 1 Mac 2024. Acara akan berlangsung dari 7 pagi hingga 5 petang pada hari Sabtu, 2 Mac 2024.
Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Komunikasi dan Multimedia, Belia, Sukan dan Badan-badan Bukan Kerajaan negeri, Fadzli Mohamad Kamal berkata, acara RXZ Fighter itu diharap mencapai objektif itu.
Katanya, RXZ Fighter dianjurkan Kerajaan Pahang dengan kerjasama Kelab-Kelab Sukan dan Rekreasi Komuniti Parlimen Bera serta menyediakan pelbagai program sepanjang dua hari itu. “Antara pengisian ialah solat Subuh macam Jumaat bersama peminat permotoran, pameran permotoran dan jualan.”
Acara solat Subuh tersebut dianjurkan bersama dengan Masjid Negeri Sultan Ahmad 1 dan akan berlangsung pada Sabtu, 2 Mac 2024.
“Program juga mendapat kerjasama Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) dan Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) bagi memantau keadaan lalu lintas, termasuk memberikan taklimat berkaitan keselamatan permotoran.
“Kami harap peminat permotoran, terutama yang menunggang RXZ ke Kuantan, mematuhi peraturan jalan raya demi menjaga keselamatan bukan sahaja diri sendiri, malah pengguna lain,” katanya.
Menurut ciapan di akaun Facebook RXZ Fighter – Official, acara itu turut menawarkan hadiah utama cabutan bertuah menarik, iaitu 2 buah Yamaha RX-Z. Kedua-dua motosikal ini turut akan dihiasi dengan corak airbrush.
Pihak pengajur acara turut menegaskan bahawa mereka tidak akan mengadakan serta menggalakkan pertandingan dan kelakuan seperti “rem” enjin motosikal di stesen minyak, melanggar lampu isyarat, menunggang dengan melulu, membuat lagak ngeri wheelie (mengangkat roda depan motosikal), menutup jalan raya oleh “marshal” dan para peserta.
Penganjuran RXZ Members 5.0 yang dijadualkan berlangusng pada 12 Ogos ini kemungkinan besar akan ditunda ke tarikh baharu ekoran pengumuman terbaru Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) telah menamatkan tarikh sama sebagai hari pengundian bagi Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN).
SPR telah menetapkan 12 Ogos sebagai PRN yang akan diadakan serentak di enam negeri melibatkan Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Pulau Pinang, Kedah, Kelantan dan Terengganu.
Pengumuman tersebut secara tak langsung memberi kesan kepada penganjuran RXZ Members 5.0 2023 yang dijadualkan berlangsung di Terengganu International Drag Strip (Gong Badak) pada 11 hingga 12 Ogos ini.
Dalam perkongsian terbaru di Facebook, penganjur RXZ Members meminta agar orang ramai bertenang dan memberi jaminan bahawa pihak pengurusan sedang dalam perbincangan dalam menentukan langkah seterusnya.
RXZ Members merupakan acara tahunan yang menyaksikan pemilik ribuan pemilik motosikal Yamaha RXZ berkumpul di Terengganu bagi meraikan motosikal ikonik itu.
There is no denying the fact that motorcycles are a big part of our lives. We are surrounded by bikes. We feel that it is safe to say that almost every Malaysian has been on a motorcycle at least once in their lives.
Although two-wheelers have been around Malaysia since independence, their popularity grew massively only after the Honda Cub took over the world. Since the first ever Honda Cub, hundreds of bikes landed on our shores, but only a handful went on to become icons, thanks to either good design or downright reliability.
That said, below is our list of the top 10 iconic bikes that basically ruled our roads. In fact, some of them are still going strong today.
1) Honda Cub (Also known as the Honda ‘Bulat’)
Unveiled in 1958, the Honda Cub did not only rule Malaysian roads, but the whole world. It is in fact, the bike that was responsible for changing the image of bikes on a global scale. Just like how Air Asia made flying accessible to the masses, the Honda Cub was the first motorcycle to reach homes. First introduced as the C70, the Cub has gone through many generations, and is still going strong. We won’t be surprised if this bike, which is also dubbed as the greatest bike ever built by many, outlives many of us.
2) Honda EX5
The EX5, which is the Honda Cub’s “grandchild”, is without a doubt, the most popular bike to be on our streets. Unveiled in 1986, the EX5 was the first motorcycle for many Malaysians. Initially powered by a 97cc made in Japan, the EX5 was updated with a 110cc engine. Known for its durability and reliability, the EX5’s legacy is still going strong, and doesn’t seem like it will be slowing down any time soon.
3) Yamaha Sport 100

Also unveiled during the same era as the EX-5, the Yamaha Sport 100, which is also more commonly known as the “100 sports” by Malaysians, was the next most popular thing after the EX-5. Still being used by many riders, both young and old, the Sport 100, which is infamously known for emitting white smoke(it is a two-stroker), is still being widely used nationwide, 30 years after its debut.
4) Suzuki RGV 120
In the 1990s, the Malaysian ‘Kapchai’ market saw a new buying trend – the demand for two-strokers was on the rise. Younger riders were more interested in “radical” models, that came with a clutch, and could easily go past the speed limit, and looked more modern than bikes like the EX-5 and the Yamaha Sport 100. This was when the Suzuki RGV 120 came into the picture and took over the streets. Sought mostly by the youth back in the days, the first thing that will come to our mind when we see the RGV 120 is definitely the infamous modified screaming exhaust pipes. How can we forget that?
5) Yamaha RX 115

The Yamaha RX 115 was a naked 115 cc bare-boned motorcycle which made its debut in 1981. Besides Malaysia, the RX 115 is also very popular in Thailand, Pakistan, Turkey, Uruguay, Singapore and Colombia. Today, the RX 115 will surely be present at any and every retro motorcycle show or gathering held in Malaysia.
6) Yamaha RXZ
If there was one bike that was guaranteed to get you attention from the ladies back in the 1990s, it was definitely the Yamaha RXZ. Powered by a potent two-stroke 135cc engine with insane amount of torque, the RXZ was not only good looking, but packed quite a punch in terms of performance as well. Truth be told, it was arguably the best looking bike of its time.
7) Kawasaki KR-150 Series (KIPS)
First unleashed in 1990 by Kawasaki, the Kawasaki KR-150, which is also known as the KIPS, was one of the favourites among speed-demons of the 90s. Looking like a mini GPZ 600, the KR150 was among the most powerful and reliable tw0-strokers to rule our streets. Even though the glory days of two-stroke engines are long gone, we can still see a few running around our roads till today.
8) Yamaha TZM 150

A legendary bike based on the TZR 250 that could kick out an impressive 35hp at 10,500RPM. Thanks to the powerful liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine with 59.0mm x 54.0mm bore and stroke setup, the TZM could rev to insane rpm. Complemented by 30mm Mikuni carbs, the engine was capable of propelling this bike up to 208km/h. How is that for performance?
9) Suzuki TXR 150 Panther
If there was one bike that could match, or outdo Yamaha’s RXZ in terms of styling and performance, it was none other than the Suzuki TXR 150 Panther. Some say that it could even outperform the TZM. First launched in 1982, the Panther’s production ended in 1991. Although the official production of the Panther didn’t go on for as long as some of its rivals, the bike has a massive cult following and still remains popular among retro bike enthusiasts.
10) Yamaha 125Z
The Yamaha Y125Z or better known as Yamaha Z (in Europe) is a 125 cc two-stroke underbone bike which made its debut in 1998 as a successor of the Y 110 SS. It is said that the 125Z was the first 2-stroke underbone motorcycle to come with a catalytic converter. Beside being sold in most Southeast Asian countries especially in Malaysia and Singapore, it was also sold in Greece.
Tidak dinafikan, motosikal jenis Yamaha RXZ semakin menjadi kegilaan peminat dua roda di Malaysia.
Disebabkan terdapat peminat yang ramai, penganjuran RXZ Members 4.0 di Terengganu baru-baru ini juga berjaya menarik sehingga lebih 30,000 pengunjung ke acara tersebut.
Terbaru, seorang pembeli sanggup menukar sebidang tanah bagi mendapatkan Yamaha RXZ Catalyzer yang diidamkan.
Perkongsian urus niaga tersebut telah dikongsikan pengguna akaun @nikmohdzulkiflee Lee yang menunjukkan seorang individu telah membeli motosikal Yamaha RXZ miliknya dengan menukar sebidang tanah.
Pemilik asal Yamaha RXZ itu juga turut berkongsi bukti telah ke pejabat tanah bagi proses penukaran nama ekoran ramai yang mempersoal kesahihan urus niaga tersebut.
Apa pendapat anda? Sanggup tukar sebidang tanah bagi mendapatkan motosikal idaman?
Lebih 30,000 pengunjung telah membanjiri perkarangan Litar Permotoran Terengganu, Kompleks Sukan Gong Badak di Terengganu bagi menghangatkan program RXZ Members 4.0 yang berlangsung pada Sabtu.
Program tersebut turut memperlihatkan himpunan jentera Yamaha RXZ terbesar di Malaysia yang dianjurkan buat kali keempat selepas kali pertama diadakan pada 2017 dan kali terakhir pada 2019.
Perhimpunan terbesar itu turut dimeriahkan dengan kehadiran Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob yang membuat pengumuman yang mengujakan peminat sukan permotoran tempatan.
Menurut beliau, kerajaan bercadang untuk membina litar khas bagi perlumbaan ‘drag’ di setiap negeri sebagai usaha membangunkan sukan permotoran tempatan disamping memberi platform lebih selamat untuk anak muda negara berlumba.
“Apabila litar itu siap, ia akan memberi peluang kepada belia untuk membabitkan diri dengan lebih serius dalam sukan permotoran mengikut saluran yang betul.
“Perlumbaan drag mungkin tidak terlalu bahaya jika dibandingkan dengan perlumbaan trek kerana ia hanya memerlukan jalan yang lebih pendek dan lurus,” jelasnya ketika perasmian RXZ Members 4.0 pada Sabtu.
Sementara itu, program RXZ Members 4.0 turut menyaksikan beberapa pengunjung bertuah membawa pulang hadiah berupa sebuah Yamaha R1 dan dua unit Yamaha RXZ. – BH
Seorang pengguna Facebook dengan nama akaun Bat Jacko mencuri tumpuan apabila memuat naik iklan menjual motosikal jenis Yamaha RX-Z.
Berdasarkan perkongsian tersebut minggu lalu, pemiliknya, Izrul Nizam berniat untuk melepaskan RX-Z Millenium kesayangan demi melunaskan hasrat untuk membina sebuah surau di Gopeng, Perak.
Surau berkenaan bakal dibina di sebuah pusat rekreasi milik penjelajah negara, Datuk Muhammad Muqharabbin Moktharrudin (Qobin) yang terletak di Sungai itik.
Motosikal keluaran tahun 2001 itu juga dikatakan datang dengan nombor plat menarik (tiga angka).
Menurut Izrul, dia mahu menggunakan keseluruhan wang jualan untuk pembinaan surau berkenaan.
Assalammualaikum
Jualan untuk membina sebuah surau d gopeng

Sambil membeli niat tuk…
Difahamkan, Izrul baru sahaja membeli Yamaha RX-Z itu tahun lalu pada harga RM15,500 dan telah pun membaik pulih motosikal untuk kembali seperti baharu.
Lebih menarik, Izrul mahu pembeli membuat pembayaran terus kepada tuan tanah bagi pembuatan surau dan hanya perlu berjumpa dengannya untuk urusan ambil motor dan tukar nama sahaja. – Mstar
Yamaha RX-Z is one of the most popular bike in Malaysia. It represent the perfect bike for anyone who like to have power, speed, style and freedom in the world of biking. Yamaha RX-Z have all the formula for an exciting biking experience and the same time maintains the price to be affordable for almost everyone. At RM8500, it is considered accessible to all rider with the availability of loan by the bike shop or by Aeon Credit Service. Even though it is accessible, the rider must at least have a job, I say this because many rider like to own this bike, but they are still studying and of course, have no money to plonk for Yamaha RX-Z yet. So, they are thinking to buy this bike when they finish their study and have a job. I know this because I’m one of them. Now, the production of Yamaha RX-Z has already stopped, it leave us with only the secondhand Yamaha RX-Z to grab. Slowly, I can see Yamaha RX-Z price increased whether for new one that might still available in very limited unit and also for the secondhand one that are available at shops and Mudah.my. (more…)
