Born from MotoGP

With an exclusive new colour scheme based on Yamaha’s Assen TT-winning MotoGP bike, the WGP 50th Anniversary R1 celebrates Yamaha’s remarkable Grand Prix heritage. Featuring an innovative crossplane-crankshaft with an uneven firing interval, the R1 kicks out high levels of linear torque for superior traction. Using the MotoGP-developed TCS, R1 riders can now adjust the performance characteristics of the 998cc in-line 4-cylinder engine for more exciting cornering on the highway and reduced lap times on the circuit. A compact aluminium Deltabox chassis delivers precision handling – and for optimised high speed performance the latest R1 is equipped with a new front cowl.

Race-bred technology, race-bred style

Naza Bikers Dream offers a lot of superbike choices with many styles to choose from whether it is naked, sports or supermoto. It might not be cheap, but the prices here are very competitive. My personal favourite is the Honda CBR600RR and Kawasaki ZX6R. It just looks nice.

Honda Supra 125X is also known as Honda Wave 125X in Malaysia. The 2012 version of this Supra in Indonesia has been named Honda Supra 125X Helm In. One of the most important feature of this bike is the availability of big capacity underseat compartment that is enough to fit helmet in (hence the name ‘Helm In’). Not just open face helmet, but the full face helmet can fit too! Other than the underseat compartment, the fuel tank capacity also has been enlarged to 5.6 liter! That is very large. Before this, the largest capacity fuel tank for bike under 125cc 4-stroke bike is held by Modenas CT110 at 5.3 liter which can bring the bike up to 250km in single fuel tank fill. This Supra 125X Helm In can extend that range all the way up to 287 km for the same single fuel tank fill. More information about the fuel efficiency data here.

The brakes also got upgraded to feature front and rear disc brake. Both are single-piston caliper equipped by Nissin. I have heard rumors that Boon Siew Honda Malaysia are going to replace the 125cc bike in their offering with new model. Some people say that it might be the Honda CS1, but this Supra 125X Helm In is also 125cc. Well, we just need to wait.

PT Astra Honda in Indonesia also have released the official pictures and colour offering. It is available in 4 colours that is Majestic Red, Legacy Green, Luxurios Gray and Royal Blue.  (more…)

This Brembo M4 Monobloc radial caliper is made from a single block of aluminium. By doing this, the caliper will be able to withstand higher impact and posses less weight. It is absolutely one piece of engineering beauty. It just looks good. Anyway, this is for superbike application only and it is being sold in pair. Price is at €892.50 (MYR3,771.87). That is the same price you would pay for a new Modenas CT110 bike.

This M4 Monobloc has been fitted to the 2012 MV Agusta F3 Serie Oro. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

This is the newer version of radiator cover which is one of the popular accessories for Yamaha 135LC. Radiator cover can protect sharp and harmful pieces of shrapnel, debris or stone from hitting and damaging your 135LC radiator.

This one provides better airflow to the radiator and at the same time protect it. The Yamaha logo and Yamaha wording there adds nice touch of the cover. The price is also cheap. You should install this to your bike since the replacing radiator is very expensive.
