Yamaha has shown a new livery for the MotoGP machine, the YZF-M1 to commemorate its 50th anniversary in grand prix racing involvement.

Another great design idea for 135LC coverset. Check out more pictures, press release and original link after the jump  (more…)

The machine that is the base for the making of RC212V MotoGP. Still looking nice and still highly desirable.

Price for Honda CBR1000RR is estimated at RM82,000.00.

I have been riding my Lagenda 115ZR for about a month with Shinko Evo SR877 and the results is great.

In one sentence I can say; Shinko SR877 makes me drive faster because it grips and make stopping better.

This tyre has made me ride better since the tyre is grippy and this helps greatly in accelerating and stopping. There is one situation that I have encounter while I was riding my bike near the traffic light road that proven the grip of this tyre. A bus have stopped abruptly in front of me while I was following it closely to overtake it, at that time the space on the right can’t be used since there is a car there so, what I can do is to brake as hard as I can and hope the bike will stop. And yes, the bike stops well without any skidding and the danger is aborted. I think this is due to the medium-soft compound used for this Shinko Evo SR877. With that in mind, I don’t mean for you to do this while using Shinko tyre or any tyre that matter since that is the situation is not planned. Drive safely and always wear the helmet!  (more…)

One of my favourite superbike of all time.

Honda has opened a comprehensive site for the New Standard Commuter NSC110, covering the scooter’s concept, styling,
engine, packaging, performance and technical specifications.

At first this bike looks like Honda Icon 110 which is available in Malaysia with carburetted version. This NSC110 comes with PGM-FI for the European model for better fuel efficiency and lower emission to meet the standard that has become stricter everyday.

Fuel efficiency is rated at 50.2km/l which is a good number considering this is a scooter. Scooter are known to consume much more fuel compare to moped which have normal chain and sprocket transmission as opposed to belt-drive system.

The capacity of the tank also has been increased to 5.5 liter which can be considered gargantuan for this kind of bike. For comparison, Honda Wave Dash 110 only have 3.7 liter of fuel capacity and Honda Icon 110 only have 3.5 liter of fuel capacity. Large fuel tank are welcomed for this kind of scooter since it can provide longer distance riding with fewer fuel stops.

Honda NSC110 retain the sharp styling with aerodynamic package for the overall look and make it look fast, even when standing still. Also can be seen in the sketch drawing is the headlamp visor which is a good addition to provide the sharp and fast look.

I’m hoping this NSC110 will be a global model so that we in Malaysia will get the taste of PGM-FI equipped scooter!
