Ducati Malaysia (Next Bike Sdn Bhd) told the tale of a new Monster as it launched the 796 Corse Stripe at Ducati Centre Petaling Jaya today.

The latest incarnation of the Monster series combines the user-friendliness of the 696 with the sporty nature of the 1100 and brings the magic of the mid-range back to the Monster family.

“Still a roaring success more than 20 years after its sensational debut at the Cologne Motorcycle Show back in 1992, the Monster range continues to captivate motorcyclists across the globe with its subtle evolution. The 796 is a refined and sophisticated machine which boasts the unmistakable Monster style and has become the new ‘urban icon’ of hand built Italian naked motorcycles,“ said Datuk Wira SM Faisal Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin, NAZA Group of Companies Joint Group Executive Chairman.

Present at the event were En Nik Danial Nik Mahmood, Vice President of NAZA Two Wheels Division and Mr. CW Juan, General Manager of Next Bike Sdn Bhd.

“This mid-sized Monster is bound to become a new favourite amongst Malaysian riders and we estimate that this model will contribute 35% of Ducati’s sales for 2014. Available to the local market as Completely Knocked Down (CKD) units from Thailand, the Monster 796 Corse Stripe offers exceptional value for the price of RM63,888 (net selling price),” stated Datuk Wira SM Faisal.  (more…)

Could it be possible that Indonesia is the only country in the world to ever have the production of the facelifted Kawasaki Ninja RR (or also known as the Ninja KRR-ZX150 in Malaysia)? This bike has been introduce to the world in 2012 for the Indonesian market. While they were enjoying their new ride of the facelifted Ninja RR with slimmer body and new styling, we in Malaysia are waiting for it to come here. Then, as of 2014, we heard that the 2-stroke Ninja KRR-ZX150 is going to be replaced with another bike that is equipped with 4-stroke engine. Based on this information, there will be no more hope for us to see this facelift bike to be available in Malaysia.  (more…)

There is no other more official confirmation of the WSBK coming to Sepang, Malaysia than this revelation of WSBK 2014 ticket available for sale that is publicly shown at their website here. Tickets are priced at RM100 for the Main Grandstand North for the early bird and still available right now to buy. This could be one of the most awaited race series that motorcycle fans from Malaysia are waiting for.

The cheapest tickets available is at RM30 for the C2 Hillstand and that is affordable enough for everyone to start saving now. Based on my comparison to the tickets price, it seems that overall ticket price on every place for WSBK is much cheaper than the tickets for MotoGP. This maybe due to their(SIC) perception about WSBK than is less popular than the MotoGP, but in my humble opinion, I think, there are many more people wanted to see the production bike being pushed to the limit on the track. After the race ended, they can just go back to the shop to check out their favourite production that they like from WSBK race, which they cannot do if it was MotoGP.

MotoGP is interesting too but the bikes are not production bikes, so the races are quite irrelevant to us who wants to look for something that we can buy afterwards. There is a saying,’You win on Sunday, you sell on Monday’. Whether it is WSBK or MotoGP, I’ll heading for both of the races. Maybe F1 too. What about you?
