Ducati Records Revenue Over €1 Billion in 2024

Ducati has announced a revenue of over €1 billion in 2024. It was the third year in a row that the Italian manufacturer posted revenues of more €1 billion.

However, while Ducati recorded a total revenue of €1.003 billion (RM 4.84 billion), the figure was actually lower than the €1.065 billion (RM 5.16 billion) posted in 2023. In terms of profits, Ducati earned an operating profit of €91 million (gain of 9.1 percent) compared to 10.5 percent in 2023.

In terms of units, Ducati sold 54,495 motorcycles globally, compared to the record of 58,224 sold in 2023.

Ducati remains positive despite the decline, with CEO Claudio Domenicalli saying, “2024 ends with a positive balance that, despite a challenging competitive environment, confirms our solidity and a benchmark profitability in the two-wheeler market.”

The manufacturer had already launched 10 models – some new, some refreshed- for 2025 and will surely see sales climb. The new models include the first XDiavel V4, Multistrada V2 and Streetfighter V2. The two V2 models are fitted with the latest V2 engine. Updated models include the Multistrada V4, Panigale V4, and Streetfighter V4.

Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 Launched in Malaysia – From RM28,700

The Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 is probably the most-awaited RE model since the Himalayan 450’s debut. It is now in Malaysia, selling from RM28,700.

Along with the Classic 350, the Guerilla 450 is the maker’s answer for those who seek a more accessible and cheaper, yet no less fun motorcycle to get around on. RE calls the Guerilla 450 a ‘roadster.’

From the Press Release

The ‘All-Roadster’

The Guerrilla 450 premium roadster is engineered for all kinds of tarmac. With the characterful 452cc Sherpa engine tuned for exciting roadster performance, a steel twin spar tubular frame, a dynamic riding stance that allows upright posture or a slightly sporty lean-in, the Guerrilla 450 truly goes back to OG roadster basics. Its dynamic ergonomics and sprightly performance lend it unparalleled versatility and responsiveness that make for a delightful ride. Guerilla is eager and pliant to do it all, making it a true ‘all-roadster.’

GRR – More growl for the prowl

The Guerrilla 450 is powered by the new and advanced 452cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled Sherpa engine and is engineered for an eager and spirited roadster performance. This powertrain debuted in the award-winning Himalayan 450 adventure tourer and has since gained huge appreciation. Equipped with a 4-valve DOHC setup, the Guerrilla 450 delivers an impressive 40 PS at 8,000 rpm and 40 NM of peak torque at 5,500 rpm, with more than 85% of this torque available starting at 3000 rpm. Its water-cooled system features an integrated water pump, twin-pass radiator, and internal bypass, ensuring optimal temperature control for peak performance in any condition. The 6-speed gearbox with assist and slip clutch enhances high-speed cruising comfort and adds an extra layer of safety that makes the Guerrilla 450 a true testament to Royal Enfield’s innovative spirit and engineering excellence.

Return of the Real Roadster

The Guerrilla 450 is packed with sophistication, intuition and sensation. It features a stepped bench-seat, a 11 litre fuel tank, LED headlights, trafficators with integrated tail lamp, and an upswept silencer. Without any flashy features or pointless plastics, the Guerrilla has an athletic build with perfect angles, purposeful edges, and muscles in all the right places. Stripped of distractions and engineered with purpose and authenticity, the Guerrilla 450 pays homage to the OGs of roadsters.

With its sleek design, performance-led riding geometry and premium build quality, the Guerrilla 450 challenges the norms, bringing a fresh approach to motorcycling. The ergonomics on the Guerrilla 450 are designed to work in harmony with different riding styles, enabling riders to handle everything from fast-flowing sweeping open roads, to tight technical switchbacks. The rider geometry ensures that the stance remains upright thanks to the low seat and mid-set footpegs. With a dynamic chassis the Guerrilla 450 is engineered for agility and quick handling, offering stable yet light handling and easy manoeuvrability. The 43mm telescopic front fork and linkage-type mono-shock at the rear boost rider confidence without sacrificing comfort. Paired with 17-inch front and rear tubeless tires and 1440 mm wheelbase, the motorcycle maintains exceptional stability and control, ensuring a planted and stable, yet nimble ride.

Switch moods. Switch Modes

The Guerrilla 450 offers a dynamic riding experience tailored to the moods of the rider, thanks to its ultra-responsive Engine Management System (EMS) and ride-by-wire technology. With Performance Mode and Eco Mode, the rider can change the throttle response to suit their mood and riding conditions. The top and mid variant of the Guerrilla comes with the new Tripper Dash, a 4-inch infotainment cluster that offers a simple, intuitive user interface. This delivers crucial information exactly when needed, without overwhelming the rider. Featuring full map navigation powered by Google Maps with audio guidance in over 120 languages, the Guerrilla 450 ensures seamless journeys, on familiar routes or new ones. Riders can choose between analog and digital displays, with a dark mode option for optimal legibility in all conditions. Beyond navigation, the interface offers music control, weather forecasts, and comprehensive vehicle information.

Royal Enfield GMA and Apparel

Genuine Motorcycle Accessories (GMA) for the Guerrilla 450 are meticulously crafted, elevating style and functionality. Inspired by Urban and Flat-Track themes, the accessories include large engine guards and sump guards, urban seat that adds to style and better saddle comfort, and tinted flyscreen and blacked out mirrors that enhance ride experience. One can opt for bench seat, bar-end mirrors with supporting mounts, halcyon black instrument cowls and black headlight grill for enhanced ride and aesthetics. The Guerrilla 450 comes with versatile luggage solutions like soft panniers for city adventures.

The Guerrilla 450 apparel range denotes Royal Enfield’s take on urban moto-culture. The T-shirts, caps and headgears are specially designed to appeal to the growing community of young and style-conscious riders. With the launch of the Guerrilla 450 roadster, Royal Enfield has introduced a new Crossroader riding jacket – India’s first riding jacket with 100% Titanium sliders. The jacket offers superior air-flow with dual-sport fitting thereby encouraging riders to explore the streets with safety, comfort and style.

In Malaysia, the Guerrilla 450 will be launched with Flash, featuring the colors Yellow Ribbon and Brava Blue with top specs. The selling price for both variants is RM 28,700.

Royal Enfield Classic 350 Launched in Malaysia – From RM23,700

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 has been launched in Malaysia, with a selling price starting from RM 23,700.

Royal Enfield has always been known – although arguably – as the modern classic brand of motorcycles. They are engineered to be simple and their designs are classic to the tee. The company also dominates the middleweight retro segment with 600cc-700cc models. But now, perhaps recognising that motorcyclists have shifted to smaller capacity, lighter, and cheaper motorcycles, RE has decided to venture into the 300cc-450cc segment.

The result is this Classic 350 which appears almost exactly like the Classic 650.

From the Press Release

The Classic 350 on the other hand offers timeless elegance, old-world charm and unshakable character, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 has represented the culture of classic automotive design, aesthetics and engineering, and the very essence of Royal Enfield’s DNA. Today, as the motorcycle is launched in a gleaming new avatar, the refreshed Classic 350 proudly continues to stay true to its roots and remain the defender of elegance while also continuing to defend accessibility.

Launched in Malaysia in five gleaming colourways, across four new variants- Heritage Premium (Medallion Bronze), Signals (Commando Sand), Dark (Gun Grey and Stealth Black) and Chrome (Emerald) – the refreshed Royal Enfield Classic 350 seamlessly integrates efficient feature upgrades like LED headlamps, LED pilot lamp, gear position indicator on cluster and type C USB charging point, while staying true to its signature aesthetic and character.

Additionally, the top variants – Emerald and Dark series – will be offered with Tripper pod as standard fitments along with adjustable levers and LED indicators.

The timeless, signature design of Classic coupled with perfectly-proportioned silhouette has undoubtedly been the most preferred Royal Enfield motorcycle among the Malaysian customers.

With its Unmatched design, unmistakable style. unrivalled craftsmanship and rare blend of character, the Classic truly stands out. Being a mix of modern engineering and traditional handcrafting, the Classic is a really practical everyday ride as well as for quick weekend getaways whether in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, Ipoh, Kuching, Penang, Kuala Terengganu or any of the cities in Malaysia.

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be available starting from RM 23,700 in its new distinct colourways.

Fined RM486,000 for Tailgating

Recently, a lawyer was fined RM486,843.91 (US$109,500) for being found guilty of tailgating the vehicle in front of him.

In Malaysia, more and more drivers are increasingly fond of tailgating, or what is commonly known as ‘cucuk angin,’ while driving on highways. This is a dangerous action, even if the driver in front is driving leisurely or “looking for a rental house.” This behavior is often overlooked by enforcement authorities in Malaysia, but the story is different in Switzerland.

The fine was more than double the value of the car he was driving at the time of the incident. Switzerland has strict laws, and fines are calculated based on the offender’s taxable income. In this case, the man, who hails from Aargau in northern Switzerland near the German border, was driving a BMW 540d.

According to the charges in court, the lawyer was accused of driving too close to the vehicle in front of him at 9:35 a.m. in March 2023 on the A1 highway near the district of Kölliken AG. Video footage taken by the police showed that he was tailgating a vehicle in the overtaking lane for 2.6 kilometers at a speed of 110 to 120 km/h, with the distance between the vehicles estimated to be eight to twelve meters.

The High Court sentenced him in August last year to a conditional fine of 50 times the daily rate of 1,970 Swiss Francs (totaling 98,500 Swiss Francs) with a probation period of two years. He was also required to pay an additional fine of 10,000 Swiss Francs.

The man appealed to the Federal Supreme Court, but his appeal was rejected. The Lausanne judge, as reported on Thursday, stated that “the appeal is unfounded.”

According to the portal Bluewin, the judge upheld the reasoning of the High Court, stating that the man’s driving behavior posed a serious risk to the safety of others.

Hong Leong Yamaha Road Safety Campaign 2025 – ‘Terang Dalam Gelap’

As Malaysians prepare to travel home for Hari Raya, Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) with collaboration with Motorcycle & Scooter Dealer Association (MMSDA) is stepping up to ensure a safer journey for motorcyclists with the launch of its annual road safety campaign, ‘Terang Dalam Gelap.’ Designed to raise awareness about nighttime riding safety, the campaign offers practical safety initiatives, including a helmet exchange program, motorcycle safety checks, and interactive public activities. This year’s event took place at Stadium Bola Sepak Kuala Lumpur, Cheras, on 15th March 2025.

Understanding the risks that come with increased road travel during the festive season, HLYM is committed to promoting safe riding habits. The campaign encourages motorcyclists to use high- visibility gear and adopt cautious riding practices while traveling to celebrate with their families.

The official launch was officiated by Datuk Aedy Fadly Bin Ramli, Ketua Pengarah, Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Malaysia, representing YB Loke Siew Fook, Minister of Transport Malaysia. The event ass also graced by key industry figures, including:

Dato’ Professor Dr. Jim Khor, Group Managing Director, Hong Leong Industries Berhad.
Datuk Wee Hong, Chairman of the Malaysia Motorcycle & Scooter Dealer Association (MMSDA).
Other esteemed VIPs and industry leaders.

Event Highlights

Helmet Exchange Program – Trade in your worn-out helmet for a brand-new, safety-approved one to enhance your protection on the road.
8-Point Motorcycle Safety Check – Get your motorcycle inspected for free to ensure it’s in top condition before your long-distance ride.
Sponsor Booths & Community Engagement – Explore booths by various sponsors offering safety products, promotions, and valuable road safety tips.

A Campaign That Connects with the Community

This year, ‘Terang Dalam Gelap’ took a fresh approach by holding the event in the evening from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, aligning with the bustling bazaar areas and local community activities. By doing so, HLYM hopes to reach riders where they are, creating a more engaging and impactful experience.

“At HLYM, our role goes beyond providing motorcycles—we care about our riders’ safety. Hari Raya is a time for reunions and celebrations, and we want to ensure that every rider reaches their loved ones safely. ‘Terang Dalam Gelap’ is more than a campaign; it’s our way of looking out for the community and equipping them with the right knowledge and tools to ride safely,” said Dato’ Professor Dr. Jim Khor.

A Fresh Take on Road Safety Awareness

To connect with young riders, the campaign embraced a creative, storytelling approach using illustrated characters and digital engagement. The initiative extends beyond the event through pre-event communication, interactive social media content, and post-event follow-ups to reinforce road safety messages.

The road safety campaign doesn’t stop at the launch event. HLYM is continuing the initiative with a Free Bike Checking Campaign at nationwide authorized Yamaha dealers from 20 March to 27 March 2025. Motorcyclists who participate will receive a free bike check-up and stand a chance to win exciting prizes sponsored by Genblu Reward. This extended effort ensures that riders across Malaysia can prepare their motorcycles for a safe and smooth ‘balik kampung’ journey.

Modenas Ninja 500 ABS and Modenas Ninja 500 SE Launched

The Modenas Ninja 500 ABS and Modenas Ninja 500 SE have been launched in Malaysia.

Both models utilise a 451cc, parallel-twin, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine which produces 44.8 hp @ 9,000 RPM and 42.6 Nm of torque at 6,000 RPM. The 3,000 RPM spread between maximum torque and power means the engine is flexible while riding, allowing “power anywhere” in the rev range.

Modenas/Kawasaki claims that the frame was inspired by the Ninja 250’s for compactness and handling. Along with a 14-litre fuel tank, the Modenas Ninja 500 has a claimed curb weight of 171 kg. Other chassis components are 41mm hydraulic forks up front, with a monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by a single 310mm disc gripped by a two-piston caliper in front and a single disc brake at the back.

The differences between the standard Modenas Ninja 500 ABS and Modenas Ninja 500 SE are confined to certain features and cosmetics. The former has an LCD screen with smartphone connectivity while the latter has a full-colour TFT screen, also with smartphone connectivity.

Colour options and selling prices are Black only for the standard version, at the selling price of RM 28,100; while the SE is available in Lime Green (main picture), and Black/Red at the selling price of RM 30,100. Both prices are without insurance and road tax.

Kamax Cub X Coming to Malaysia – RM8,888

Kamax is another brand that has seen some following in Malaysia, especially with their Cub series, which was inspired by the original Honda Cub. Now, it has been confirmed that the Kamax Cub X will be coming to Malaysia, too.

The Kamax Cub X is based on the Cub Pro, then stripped of superfluous parts such as the passenger seat, leg shields, and chain guard to turn it into an adventure cub. A bigger and longer front mudguard is fitted, instead. The wheels are wire spoked type, instead of the cast alloy type on the Super Pro.

Its engine also appears to have been inspired by the Honda Cub, being an air-cooled, horizontal, single-cylinder engine, albeit with 147.5cc. It produces 9.1 hp (6.8 kW) at 7,500 RPM and 10.5 Nm at 5,000 RPM. It is fuel-injected, not carbureted. Power is delivered through a centrifugal clutch, and four-speed transmission.

On the chassis front, the frame is an underbone steel tube. There are dual disc brakes, hydraulic forks up front and dual shocks at the rear. Other features include LED lighting, and a 3.8-litre fuel tank. Kamax claims a 110kg curb weight.

MForce Bikes Sdn. Bhd. confirmed that the Kamax Cub X will be headed to Malaysia, and priced at RM 8,888. For more information, please visit https://www.kamaxgroup.com.

Price for BMW R 12 Announced

BMW Motorrad Malaysia has announced the official price for the 2025 BMW R 12, starting from RM 119,500 (on the road without insurance).

To refresh, the all-new BMW R 12 utilises the 1170cc Boxer engine (flat-twin) that produces 95hp at 6,500 RPM and 110Nm at 6,000 RPM, instead of the air/oil-cooled 1800cc Boxer used by the R 18. This base R 12 takes the shape of a cruiser, rather than a standard, with a 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheel.

From the official Press Release

BMW Motorrad Malaysia today announced the official pricing for the All-New BMW R 12, the latest addition to its Heritage line-up.

The All-New BMW R 12 blends classic heritage with modern innovation, delivering an authentic riding experience that embodies the spirit of #MakeLifeARide. A testament of BMW Motorrad’s passion for evolution, the Heritage roadster features its iconic R boxer engine, providing smooth and responsive handling whether on the highway or winding country roads. It merges retro-inspired aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, making it the perfect bike for riders who appreciate classic charm while craving the thrill of innovation.

Financial Services

With the Financing Plan from BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, ownership of the All-New BMW R 12 starts at RM1,668 (based on Straight Line Financing estimates with a 90% loan over a 7-year tenure).

The retail price of RM 119,500 is on the road (without insurance), with BMW Motorrad Malaysia’s All-New 3-Year Warranty and 3-Year Roadside Assistance Programmes.

Pirelli to be Sole Tyre Supplier for MotoGP in 2027

It has been confirmed that Pirelli will take over the reigns from Michelin as sole tyre supplier to the MotoGP championship beginning 2027.

The electric motorcycle racing series, MotoE, will also be using Pirelli tyres from that point henceforth.

The agreement with MotoGP’s governing body will span five years until 2031. Pirelli is already the sole tyre supplier to the Moto3 and Moto2 classes, after taking over from Dunlop since last year. The move saw lap times tumbled dramatically as well as closer racing.

Pirelli has been the tyre supplier to the World Superbike Championship for many years. Apart from motorcycle racing, Formula 1 is also racing on Pirelli rubber, which makes the company the supplier to the highest tiers of motor racing.

On the other hand, Dunlop is the sole tyre supplier for the Superstock category in the FIM Endurance World Championship.

However, we suspect it would not stop some people from crying about bringing back certain brands. Previously, when Bridgestone first came into MotoGP, many said Michelin was better. Then when Michelin came back, they said Bridgestone was better. It will be interesting to see what kind of comments will pop up next.

X-Wedge is Coming to Malaysia

X-Wedge, the super cruiser brand from China is heading to Malaysia.

Unlike other Chinese manufacturers who build their businesses from smaller capacity motorcycles upwards, X-Wedge concentrates on cruisers with massive engines that are inspired by big cubed American V-Twins, albeit closer in look to Indian rather than Harley-Davidson motorcycles. X-Wedge made their debut on 9th September 2023 and is a subsidiary of the Huansong Industrial Group based in Chongqing, China who have in business since 1988.

Their catalog is bolstered by a 5-model line up, with four utilising their sub-2000cc V-Twin engine. This monster engine is said to have been derived from S&S, the maker of performance V-Twin engines that grace custom motorcycle makers such as the now-defunct Titan and even Orange County Motorcycles.

X-Wedge’s ‘big block’ engine (our term to distinguish it from the smaller engine – Ed.) features rare, square dimensions of 108mm bore x 108mm stroke. You have 1979cc when multiplied by two cylinders. As per cruiser convention, the engine has OHV (overhead valves) that are activated by pushrods. It produces a claimed 103 HP at 5,000 RPM and 158 Nm of torque at 3,000 RPM. That is a cruiser powerband right there.

However, the compression ratio is rather low for a modern motorcycle at only 9.75:1. Could it be that the manufacturer is thinking of forced induction or increased stroke by themselves in the future, or an avenue for customers to do so? Maybe. Anyhow, that low compression ratio means you can run the bike on low octane petrol, so no problem if you ride to some remote location.

Also, no less impressive is that X-Wedge already has a large aftermarket and lifestyle collection. Their main concept store also includes an Ace Café.

X-Wedge model range

Let us take a look at their line up.

Ranger RX2000

Starting from the basic cruiser is the Ranger RX2000. It features an unmistakable low-slung and a long wheelbase, hardtail look, with several modern touches. The one in our picture show a sportier paint scheme but the company’s website shows a bike with plenty of chrome. It is powered by the ‘big block’ engine. Fuel is carried in an 18-litre tank and the bike weighs 350 kg.

Rover RL2000

This is the touring variant based on the Ranger. It is complete with a large upper fairing, leg shields, footboards, side cases, upper case with passenger backrest and arm rests. It has an 18-litre fuel tank and weighs 420 kg.

Vanguard VT2000

This is based off the Rover RL2000, but with two rear wheels, making it a trike. As with the other two, it uses the ‘big block’ engine, has an 18-litre tank and weighs a whopping 505 kg.

Voyager VS2000

It is basically a Ranger RX2000 with a sidecar. As such, it shares the Ranger’s specifications. Weight is claimed at 490 kg.

Walker WR1000

The Walker WR1000 features a complete break from the other cruiser conventions, featuring a futuristic look and two front wheels like the Cam-Am. It is powered by a 121 cubic inch (975cc) V-Twin which produces 81 HP and 80 Nm of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a belt, after going through a CVT. And yes, it has a reverse gear.

Models headed to Malaysia

We found out that the three models headed to Malaysia are the Ranger RX2000, Rover RL2000, and Vanguard VT2000. All three will be Completely Knocked Down and assembled here, hence the attractive starting price of around RM 90,000. The local distributor, MForce Bikes Sdn. Bhd. plans to open concept shops in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Sabah, and Sarawak.
