2021 Vespa Sprint S 150 Lands In Malaysia – With TFT Screen, RM19,900

Vespa Malaysia has just unveiled the 2021 Vespa Sprint S 150 for the local market, priced at RM19,900.

While the new Sprint S 150 comes in two distinct colourways, Bronzo Antico and Nero Opaco, it is also the first Vespa to feature a 4.3-inch TFT-LCD instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity.

The new feature allows the rider to access functions such as answering calls, receive notifications and music player.

 

Putting aside the new feature, the Vespa Sprint S 150 continues to offer 12.7hp @ 7,750rpm and 12.8Nm @ 6,500rpm from its IGET single-cylinder 154.8cc engine.

Other technical specifications include:

  • single shock absorbers (front/rear)
  • 200mm front disc
  • mechanical drum rear brake
  • single-channel ABS
  • 12″ rim
  • 7L tank

FIRST LOOK: 2022 MV Agusta F3 RR – With Updated Electronics And Aero-Fairing

MV Agusta finally takes the F3 to new heights with revised electronic upgrades and a new fairing.

The new fairing now features integrated in-board wings, a distinct component previously found on the 2021 Honda CBR1000RR-R. According to MV Agusta, the aero-system provides an additional 8 kilograms of downforce at 241km/h.

The windshield is now higher than the previous generation F3 to improve airflow over and around the rider.

While the three-cylinder 12-valve DOHC 789cc engine is already robust with 147hp @ 13,000rpm and 88Nm @ 10,000rpm, MV Agusta decided to push for further refinement with a little from the Italians firm involvement in Moto2 World Championship.

As a result, the new F3 RR features a high-pressure injector, a high-performance exhaust system and a new bi-directional radiator located behind the aero-fairing.

However, MV Agusta also introduces a race kit package consisting of a bespoke Akrapovic exhaust, CNC machined components, and a new ECU that boosts the power to 155hp and a higher redline 250rpm.

By the way, the race kit also shaves off almost 8kg of the bike weight to just 165kg making it the perfect track weapon for your weekend endeavour.

Meet The New Bond, Triumph Motorcycles Unveil Tiger 900 Bond Edition

If Ian Fleming is alive today, the Triumph Tiger 900 might be the weapon of choice for his 007.

It is lightweight, easy to manoeuvre around small towns and handles really well in off-road condition, making it the best vehicle to escape or chase any of the SPECTRE goons.

In recognition of the iconic spy film with Daniel Craig reprising his role as James Bond for the fifth and final time in No Time To Die, Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled the Tiger 900 Bond Edition, limited to just 250 units worldwide.

Based on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro, the limited edition adventure motorcycle features the innovative T-Plane triple-cylinder 900cc engine capable of producing 94hp and 86.8Nm.

The main characteristic falls to its clandestine Matt Sapphire Black paint job with gold accents and graphics that create a mysterious yet aggressive look.

The fuel tank features the 007 logo, which also appears on the full-colour TFT screen during startup.

In addition, the frame, headlight, side panels, sump guard, pillion footrest, lamp shrouds and engine guards are also painted with a stealthy black colourway. The handlebar clamp also displays the bike unit numbers to remind you how “limited’ the Tiger 900 Bond Edition is.

However, please be mindful that the Tiger 900 Bond Edition is not one of Q’s crazy inventions, so do not expect it to come equipped with flamethrowers or automatic rifles.

Those are sold separately and needs special clearance from M.

 

BREAKING: Suzuki Malaysia To Roll Out GSX-R150, Belang 150 & GSX-S150 In Q1 2022

Suzuki Malaysia is set to introduce the GSX-R150, Belang 150 and GSX-S150 in Q1 2022.

The announcement was made during a live introduction of the upcoming 2022 Hayabusa, V-Strom 1050XT and the all-new GSX-S1000, which is set to be available late this year.

While we are excited about Suzuki Malaysia big bike range, the new development on its 150cc motorcycle is what we have been waiting for since they shared a teaser photo of the bike at the end of 2020.

All three models will be the start of Suzuki Malaysia 2022 portfolio as they begin to reinvent the Japanese brand in the country.

Meanwhile, according to the video presentation, Suzuki Malaysia will officially launch the all-new 2022 Hayabusa, V-Strom 1050XT and the GSX-S1000 in December.

According to Dato Jeffrey Lim, General Manager and Director Suzuki Malaysia, the original plan was to unveil all six models earlier before it was halted due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and travel restriction.

Hero MotoCorp To Unveil Mid-Capacity Roadster With Harley-Davidson Badge

India’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, is set to unveil a retro-style motorcycle in collaboration with Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson penned a deal with Hero MotoCorp late last year which saw the Indian firm taking charge of the American brand in the country.

While the core strategy is for Hero MotoCorp to handle sales and distribution of the Harley-Davidson brand in India, the second strategy is for the two sides to develop a mid-capacity motorcycle that will carry the Milwaukee brand in India.

According to reports in India, the development of the new motorcycle is currently underway despite no further details being revealed by both parties.

However, the new model will most likely be a retro-style roadster which is currently the most sought-after segment in India.

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
