With the launching of new bikes whether it is from Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki or any manufacturers that matters, we, as a bike enthusiasts will try to find as many information as we can related to the newly launched bike. How much power does it has? What is the upgrade from the previous model? What is the design language? What about the valve? What about the bore and stroke? And many more questions that lingers in our head.

I was excited to see this 32 pages of 2011 Suzuki Smash V115 Sales Manual while I was browsing at SCK Motor shop (the real physical shop). Quickly, I asked Sangar whether he has another copy of this sales manual, and there I have it. This sales manual is a very interesting read even if you are not Suzuki fan. I’m delighted to see that there are many information about the newly introduced Suzuki Smash V115 in terms of valve setup, fuel efficiency, design, exhaust setup and many more. It is being compared with the previous model that is the Suzuki Smash Revo 110.

I have never know that there is Yamaha bikes that have the same style like the Honda Nova Dash, Kawasaki Leo Star or the most recent, the Suzuki Belang R150. Here is the Yamaha Speed MX presented by Norifumi Abe in year 2007 (the date of the picture).

Also known as Yamaha Tiara S 120, JR120 or just Speed.

The specs are amazing. This is 2-stroker with 120cc, monoshock rear suspension, front and rear 2-piston caliper brake system and 6-speed transmission. It never gets to Malaysia though. Teribble.

I’d like to say that this bike is the smaller brother to Y125Z which is already perfect in every way possible. The design is fresh and way much better than any bike at that time.

One of my friend in Greece tells me that there are some Y125Z parts that can be used to this Speed MX. I’m thinking the crankshaft can be easily swapped to get higher stroke of 54.7mm from the Y125Z.

This is really Honda CBR-150R not the CBR-250R. While we are still waiting for the launching of the Honda CBR-250R in mid-February in Malaysia, I’ve stumbled upon this image while browsing through Google. On further checking at AP Honda Thailand website, it is really an all new 2011 Honda CBR 150R after all. This is not a breaking news since this bike is already soft launched in October 2010. CBR-150R looks like the bigger brother CBR-250R which makes it looks much bigger and wider. It is said that this one is identical mechanically to CBR-125R which is in Canada and Europe market.

This is really a great line-up to already great line-up by AP Honda Thailand. Expect to get more of the aftermarket parts from DBS, LHK and POSH from Thailand manufacturers.

Another first for Indonesian bikers as they already got their 2011 Suzuki Shogun Axelo 125. The headlamp is quite different which resembles a little like the Suzuki Raider / Belang R150. (more…)
