Hong Leong Yamaha Motor Sdn Bhd introduced a new colour range for their best-selling model the Yamaha 135LC.

True to the spirit of a leader and a familiar sight on Malaysian roads, this king of the road needs no elaborate introduction, but this 4-stroke liquid-cooled 135cc performance moped has now been pumped up with exciting new colours and graphics together with a new pilot and flasher light design.

The Yamaha 135LC is the flagship moped model from the Yamaha range that was first launched in February 2006 with a 135cc liquid cooled engine. The bike comes with proven performance and is equipped with reliable features such as front and rear disc brakes, cast wheels, tubeless tyres, 5-speed transmission, DiASil cylinder, Throttle positioning sensor, a sporty retractable rear footstep, monocross suspension, and stylish speedometer with an anti-theft switch.  (more…)

The popular Benelli TNT600 has got some lovin from Ottimo Motorworks with this custom belly pan to protect the bike from stone and chips hitting the exhaust and the engine.

Still under testing by Ottimo Motorworks and estimated to be priced at RM190. Check it out at: https://www.facebook.com/OttimoMotorworks

Anyone who was old enough to ride a motorcycle in the 1970s will remember the fanfare that greeted the launch of the original Yamaha SR models. Inspired by the dual purpose XT500 which was launched a few years earlier, the single cylinder SR400 and SR500 were announced in 1978, and went on to become some of Yamaha’s most popular and enduring models.

With their relaxed torque output, slim and agile chassis design and classic styling, the Japanese-market SR400 and European-market SR500 became firm favourites with enthusiasts who were looking for a simple machine that captured the very spirit of sports motorcycling. In many European countries including Germany, Austria and Belgium, groups of SR500 owners formed enthusiasts’ clubs, many of which still run to this day. To underline its appeal, the SR500 went on to win consecutive ‘Moto of the Year’ awards from Germany’s Motorrad magazine – one of the highest circulation motorcycle titles in Europe. During the same period the bike was establishing a cult following in Europe and Japan, with many SR models being handed down from father to son.  (more…)

ALL-NEW YAMAHA MT-07
The MT story continues for 2014 as Yamaha announce the launch of the all-new MT-07, an agile roadster with exciting torque levels that reinforces Yamaha’s expanding MT line-up. Its overall style, emotional engine character and engaging qualities fit perfectly into the ‘Dark Side of Japan’ MT family.

Featuring an all-new 689cc inline 2-cylinder engine producing strong torque, and equipped with a light and compact backbone-type tubular frame, the MT-07 is a sporty motorcycle that is clearly aimed at inspiring many riders throughout Europe by bringing fun, passion and excitement back to motorcycling at an affordable level.

Yamaha’s new MT-07 is one motorcycle that cannot be defined or classified by its specification figures alone. For the record, the figures for this new model that everybody wants to look at straightaway are 74.8PS, 68Nm@6,500 RPM, and 179kg wet weight (Dry weight 164kg).  (more…)
