Yamaha Motors Thailand recently introduced new variant of the offroad style scooter the TTX named X-Force. The one in green is similar to the green that we usually in the army colours on the their clothes and vehicles. This adds more ‘serious’ offroader style to this scooter. Other than the army green colour, this TTX X-Force also comes with black/grey colour if you don’t like the green. TTX X-Force is included with the YMJET FI system which are good in terms of fuel economy and in this case, it can go for 55.75km/l. Even if that number is not met, if you got at least 50km/l, that should be considered fuel saving enough. Compared to a car (Honda Insight 1.3L), real number mileage is only at maximum 20km/l.  (more…)

KTM has updated the Duke 125 and Duke 200 in EICMA with ABS. This braking assist system will prevent the tyre from locking up in hard braking condition especially in snowy road.
How to differentiate the normal Duke with this ABS Duke? Luckily there is a label on the bottom belly pan. But, if current Duke owners wants to upgrade their bike to ABS, just affix the ABS sticker there.

Rossi is one of my favourite rider and most of us do. He got a friendly character and good talent in riding too. For 2013 MotoGP, he will be back on Yamaha alongside Lorenzo which is also a good talented rider in MotoGP. Maybe next year we can see 1,2 podium finish for Yamaha. Also, we can expect to see more limited edition bike produced by Yamaha for riders like us. We have seen limited edition 135LC, Nouvo 135 earlier in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia and hoping to see more next year.

A classic and very popular bike up to this day. It is well known in the bikers world with the rare AR sport rim that many bikers in Malaysia wants. Usually, this kind of sport rim is fitted to 125Z and RX-Z. The price is not cheap and sometimes can fetch up to RM7k.

The naked bike category just got one more entry with this 800cc MV Agusta Rivale. The design is a mix from the beautiful F3 and the Brutale 675. It carries the black steel Trellis frame and a 3-end pipes style. Power is rated at 120hp and that is a good balanced power  for a naked bike (but Kawasaki ZX6R 636 is at 131hp). The almost horizontal seat with the high mount makes it a little bit like a motard bike for offroad, but this one is too beautiful to even to be taken to a gravel.

It looks classic enough but with a distinction on the ‘hover’ seat style. I was thinking that this is a 946cc bike when I first know the name but actually it is 125cc 4-stroke engine equipped. Vespa have a good wide followers and it retains one of the icon in the 60s and 70s (80s, perharps) for its different style other than bikes from Japan. This Italy machine could be the new generation of Vespa that could take over the hearts of the world again, if it comes at the right price at this kind of economy right now.
