You have read the title correctly, but, it is not the 5-speed that we have been waiting for. This is the upgrade of coverset from the previous version of 4-speed 135LC circa 2006-2010.
It has many new features including the much awaited secure key lock with key hole shutter.
The meter is actually quite nice with red illumination. At first, it looks like ‘lamp bulb’.
I had a feeling of happiness and frustration at the same time since I’m waiting for the 135LC with 5-speed. At the same time, I’m happy to know that we are going to get it in Malaysia. Maybe later in few more month. UPDATE: 135LC 5-speed is here too!
You! What’s your opinion?

I’m calling this a preview since this is a new tyre I just got but it is not installed to my bike yet. So, I’ll share about the features, background and my first impression about this Shinko EVO SR877 motorcycle in the size of 70/90-17 and 80/90-17. After installing it to my ride, then I can write about test drive review. So, lets start after the jump with 21 more pictures (more…)
After writing a little bit about the Yamaha TZR250SP, I got more information about its availability in Malaysia in Retro Malaysian Rider(RMR) forum. Thanks to alexz for the precious information.
The RMR forum are very informative and they have a lot of discussion about Yamaha TZR250, Suzuki RGV250 and Honda NSR250. Almost all the retro bikes are being discussed there.
I share this forum on my blog, because sometimes we can’t find it via Google, maybe because it is buried deep inside the Google search results. So, I hope this finding is informative.

After looking for information about Yamaha TZM150, Honda NSR150RR and Honda NSR150SP, I have found out another great bikes that I have never seen before, Yamaha TZR250SP.
In 1992, Yamaha has produced 500 of this bike just to make it legal for it to race in the Japanese Super Sport racing series. This makes this bike extremely rare. The birth of this bike is to rival the competition from Honda NSR250R and Suzuki RGV250 Gamma. So, this bike actually is born to win.
At a glance, the bike looks very familiar to TZM150, but this one comes with 250cc 2-stroke engine that produces 46hp. The wheels also the 3-spoke that comes with the TZM150.
The decade of 90’s has produced many great bikes with great power and great design. It is so much beautiful that when I saw it for the first time, I think it is still in production today.
