I got just a read from tmcblog about this new FI Yamaha Nouvo LX in Vietnam. It seem that this is a very new bike or it is a spy shot since there are no information about it on Yamaha Vietnam website. This is what I love about Japanese bike manufacturers. Even though they manage to sell a lot of their products, they still have the passion to upgrade it to better version or even just introduce a small facelift to their popular products. This new Yamaha Nouvo LX a.k.a Nouvo LC in Malaysia has shown that you can make good thing to become better. I love how the meter cluster looks in this new Nouvo LX. It looks much more superbike meter cluster that usually have the RPM meter and digital speedometer display (but I’m not sure whether that is RPM meter on the Nouvo LX).  (more…)

The internal combustion engine works by the combustion of the gas inside the cylinder that expands to move the piston and therefore, the crankshaft.

This Honda Dax is one of the rare bikes that is not easy to find on the road everyday. You need to look hard and you’ll be rewarded. This time, my friend, Charles from USA, has send me the link of this mini monster with CBR150R engine fitted.  I’m seeing one of the cleanest execution made for this Dax to install a new heart for it. It looks like it mean to be there. (more…)

One of my favourite Honda 2-stroke bike of all time, the Honda NSR250. I like every series of the NSR actually, but this one is pure desirable. The rectangle headlight looks simple and modern at the same time. Every shape and curves fits the bike perfectly and with 250cc 2-stroke engine, it could be the only machine you need.  (more…)
