A great introduction video to showcase the features and the highlight of the 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan S 650. Coming soon to Malaysia sometime next year with the price said to be lower than RM30,000.One thing that is interesting is that you can adjust the footrest in three step to suit your height. Not just that, you can also adjust the handlebar to make it fit to your reach.

Previously we have seen the Vulcan VN500 which has become a popular long time ago as a cruiser of choice. There is also Yamaha Virago XV535 at that time that rides along the road in Malaysia. I remember that it shows someone who rides a cruiser like this is a rich man since only rich man can buy big bikes. Now, at only RM30,000, almost everyone can enjoy what the rich man have too.

A better helmet than its predecessor, the Shoei J-Force IV continues to be one of the best open-face helmet available on the market. The tagline is ‘Compact & Lightweight’ with lots of enhancement on many areas. The design is different than the J-Force III with the introduction of side outlet that is presented in hexagon honeycomb pattern.

J-Force IV has the improved aerodynamic performance that gives is 5% less lift and 2% less drag as compared to the J-Force III. At the speed of 100km/h, J-Force IV is quieter than the J-Force III as shown on the graph above.  (more…)

PJ Wong Motor has opened bookings for the awaited Yamaha YZF-R25 in Malaysia. This shows that the launch is imminent.
As rumored earlier, the launch for the Yamaha YZF-R25 in Malaysia is on Q1 2015 that is from January – April.

Top speed as tested by Jonathan Rieswan on ARIPPITSTOP.com shows the bikes maxes at 186km/h on the track.

Yamaha YZF-R25 will fight its competitors in the category of 250cc bikes in terms of performance not in terms of price. Logically, if you want 250cc high performance bike, you’ll choose Yamaha YZF-R25. If you are into budget 250cc bike, you’ll choose something else.
Price? Rumored at RM23-25k.

Kawasaki has given a fresh look of the Versys 650 and Versys 1000 for 2015. Now, it features dual headlight which I can’t keep away from comparing it with the headlight of the ZX6R 636 and also the Ninja 250.

Versys 650 comes with the 649cc parallel twin liquid-cooled engine that mated with 6-speed transmission. The front brakes got the dual disc setup with 300mm petal-style rotors with two-piston calipers and ABS.

Versys 1000 is equipped with the more powerful 1,043cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine also mated to 6-speed transmission. The front suspension is from KYB with 43mm which is big upside down fork type. The braking also got more powerful as it is equipped with the bigger 310mm dual disc brake setup for the front and single 250mm disc brake at the rear.  (more…)

2015 has seen AGV coming up with new addition of K series which is this K-5. Before this we can see the popular K-3 in Malaysia worn by many riders who prefer the fitting of the AGV. Then, AGV upgrade the K-3 lineup by introducing the K-3 SV which refers to the K-3 with Sun Visor for comfortable riding at day or even at night.

The main difference that we can see from K-3 and K-5 is the K-5 shell is made from fibreglass and also carbon fibre to ensure toughness and lightness. It is made according to the AGV Extreme Standards technology.

The price is not known yet at the time of writing but I estimate it at RM2k. Not yet available in Malaysia. 4 more pictures after the break:  (more…)
