You might be thinking that this is just a modified version of Yamaha 135LC with the rear drum brake replaced to disc brake. But look closer to the second picture, where you can see the rear tail light is not the same like the current model of Yamaha Jupiter MX. Hopefully, we can also see the introduction of FI system to this King of Moped. Then, it would be perfect bike with no contest from other makes.

We have been waiting for this one for a very long time. So, Yamaha, please launch this fast!

On July 2, 2010, Malaysian newspaper, New Strait Times, has released this news about Modenas electric bike built on Modenas CT chassis. It features 1kW of motor (equivalent to 1.34hp). The battery can be charged from zero based to fully charged for 3.5 hours. At 39cent per charge, CTRIC can be taken to 65km (my daily ride is less than 30km, so, there is a market for this bike). Suggested price for this bike is RM5,000, but it is said that the maintainance cost is 50% less than the internal combustion engine since it doesn’t have to use engine oil, filters, spark plugs and so on.

Not available yet. Modenas is now waiting for green light by the parliament to make this bike can be taken to the public road.

UPDATE (16/06/2011): It is launched! Check it out here: https://www.bikesrepublic.com/2011/06/13/modenas-ctric-launching-on-16th-june-2011/

Indonesian bikers just to see the new bike launched by Honda named Mega Pro with 150cc. (more…)

I thought this one is actually a 200cc automatic bike from Malaysia, but actually it only have 175cc of displacement.

I have promised myself few years ago that someday I’ll buy any first model new bike that are going to be introduced by Yamaha Malaysia. It was a very long wait and now, I have bought myself a first model 2010 Yamaha Lagenda 115ZR. Even though this is a first model bike, it has less specialty than the first model Yamaha 125Z and first model Yamaha 135LC since both have many parts made in Japan. For example, the first model Yamaha 135LC engine is fully made in Japan, whereby now it is being made in countries like Indonesia, Vietnam or Thailand. It is not that the second model or the newer is not good, just that it is not as special as owning the first model with parts made in Japan. This holds true also for Yamaha 125Z and ZR whereby we can see the CDI for the first model have no cut-off and have Yamaha logo on it, but now is the M logo and CDI has been RPM/speed limited. First model Yamaha 125ZR also features the most sought out item that is the three-spoke Enkei-1 sport rim. Enkei-1 sport rim is definitely durable and can withstand strong impact from the road and much more lighter. Also after that, there are Enkei-1 samurai 6-spoke sport rim which is also durable and lightweight. I have interviewed many 125Z/ZR riders and mechanics about this and they agreed that Enkei-1 wheels are really that good. Now, there is no more Enkei-1 production wheels and most of the owner of this wheels have lost the wheels due to theft. It is common to see that Enkei-1 3-spoke and 5-spoke sport rim to reach MYR1000+ in Malaysia most popular online store that is Mudah.my. So, in my deepest thought, I know that I’m making a good decision to buy this first model Yamaha Lagenda 115ZR, even though it is not fully made in Japan. Now, let’s start my Yamaha Lagenda 115ZR review. (more…)
