2015 Suzuki Address 115cc unveiled in Malaysia – RM4,788 (basic)

Suzuki Address now available in Malaysia in the already great lineup of Suzuki automatic bikes. We have seen earlier the super simple automatic bike by Suzuki that is the Nex, which is a great fuel-efficient bike with powerful engine. The only thing that Nex riders are looking for is for more storage space as maybe a better fuel economy. All this has been addressed with Suzuki Address which comes with higher effiency fuel-injection system that manages to scale the bike to 53km/l. Suzuki also enlarges the fuel tank to massive 5.3 liter (this is massive in automatic bike category, Suzuki Nex is only 3.5 liter ooo). Based on the data from Suzuki ECER40 testing, this bike can go all the way to 276km just with one full tank. (more…)

There are only five more days before we get to see the 1 Full Throttle ADVANCE Challenge in Elite Speedway PLUS on 3rd May 2015. The message that we want to send to all riders is to “Keep Racing Off Public Streets, Street Racing Is Not Motorsports”.

We also want to give a chance for our rider to get the track experience by making the fee as minimum as possible. You can have your bike on the Elite track as low as RM50 for a track experience. It doesn’t matter what bike you have; Suzuki Best, Yamaha 110SS, Honda Raider, Modenas Kriss or even Kawasaki ZX10R. You can bring your bike to enter our Open Track Day, which happens for each race break. Mind you, Open Track Day is just a track experience using your own bike and it is not a race. (more…)

Bridgestone MotoGP™ Preview – Round 4: Spain, Jerez

1-Race-action-from-the-2015-MotoGP-season

Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Soft, Medium & Hard; Rear: Soft, Medium & Hard (Asymmetric)

Bridgestone wet tyre compounds available: Hard (Main), Soft (Alternative – front), Extra-hard (Alternative – rear)

MotoGP™ returns to its spiritual homeland of Europe as round four of the world championship takes place at Spain’s iconic Jerez circuit.

The flowing, 4.423 kilometre-long Jerez circuit provides some great overtaking opportunities that have set the scene for many memorable championship battles over the years.

Comprising eight right-hand and five left-hand corners, overall Jerez is one of the less severe circuits on tyres, however a special approach to tyre development is still required at this track. For this circuit, Bridgestone provides asymmetric rear slicks with slightly softer rubber on the left shoulder to offer better grip and warm-up performance e in the slower corners, while the harder right shoulders provide greater stability in the faster right-hand corners. Rear slick options for the Factory Honda and Yamaha riders are the medium and hard asymmetric rear slicks, while the open class and factory concessions riders can use the soft and medium asymmetric rear slicks. With a wide range of track conditions possible at the Jerez, the front tyre allocation for the Spanish Grand Prix is the soft, medium & hard compound front slicks.

The Jerez circuit is extremely abrasive when wet, so the hard compound option is the main wet tyre this weekend, with the soft compound being the alternative wet option for the front tyre and the extra-hard compound for the rear.
