PDRM(Malaysian Royal Police) New Mitsubishi Evolution X

I was surfing to read about car at paultan.org and stumble upon this post. I guess this car is going to be used to chase illegal racer and mat rempits around Malaysia. So, be careful and race in track only.
Actually this car is going to be used to guide VVIP and may also likely to be used in high speed highway chase.
This car has been exempted from tax so it is well worth the money to buy it.
Maybe the next car for PDRM is Nissan GTR?

Honda Wave 110i (PGM-Fi)

Yamaha Mio MX (a.k.a Yamaha Ego in Malaysia)

Two new bikes has been recently launched in Thailand. Expect these bikes to come to Malaysia soon.
I guess Yamaha Mio MX (a.k.a Yamaha Ego) will definitely makes it entry to Malaysia. Yamaha Mio MX is the new version of previous Yamaha Ego S (Yamaha Mio Soul anywhere else) here in Malaysia. Maybe the name in Malaysia is Yamaha Ego MX?
Also, Thailand have another Fi bike that is Honda Wave 110i. Previously, Honda have introduced Honda Wave 125i with Fi which is the first Fi cub bike. I also think this bike will make it to Malaysia since the Boon Siew Sdn Bhd is taken by Japanese entity that is Honda Motor Co. The new company is named Boon Siew Honda Sdn Bhd.
I really hope we can see lots of changes in motorbike environment in Malaysia since we are really way behind our neighbouring country like Thailand.
Some says that Malaysia motor market is not big, that’s why most manufacturer tends to focus their new model on country that have much larger market like Vietnam, Thailand, Philippine and Indonesia.
Some burning question here, will the price of the Fi bike higher than carburetted bike? What about repair, will it cost much higher?

1997 6-Speed RX-Z Restoration Project

Do you still remember the picture above? It is about a Yamaha RX-Z bike that I bought for RM500+ that I’m going to restore sometime in May 2008.
Now, the restoration has finished. Enjoy the picture below and look for the original look for the bike before any restoration has been done.

Newly painted engine cover but the kick starter has not been replaced yet since there is no stock for the original one

Carburetor is new since the old one is very dirty and hard to clean

New rims, tyre, hub, rear footrest but old exhaust painted to black

Definitely restored to full glory 

Nicely done in black with green stripe

There is nothing more satisfying other than looking at the bike that once is hedious and teribble but now looking like new and full of spirit.
Remember to read the previous look of this bike here!

Honda Air Blade-i

Honda CBR-125i

Honda Click AT-i

Honda CZ-i 110

Yamaha Spark 135i

Suzuki Shogun 125 Fi

Honda Wave 125S PGM-Fi (the first cub to have Fi)

I hate to write about this post because it made me feel that we in Malaysia live in old time. People in Thailand got all the bike featured here, but none of them is available in Malaysia. Why? What is wrong with Fi bike in accordance with the rules and regulation here in Malaysia?
But, there is one thing that make me happy for using carburetor type cub bike, look at the Honda Wave specification below:

Specifications Honda Wave 125
* Engine type: SOHC 2-valve 4-stroke air-cooled 124cc engine
* Displacement: 124.9 cc
* Bore x Stroke: 52.4 x 57.9 mm
* Compression Ratio: 9,3:1
* Max Power: 9.3 PS @ 7,500 rpm (carburetor type),
9,18 PS @ 7.500 rpm(Fi)
* Max Torque: 1.03 kgf.m @ 4,000 rpm (carburetor type),
0,99 kgf.m /5.000 rpm(Fi)
* Max speed: 115 km/h
* Transmission: 4-speed
* Clutch: Wet multi-plate centrifugal
* Starter: Kick and electric starter
* Frame Type: Underbone steel tube
* Suspension (F): Telescopic
* Suspension (R): Swingarm
* Brake (F): Disc/Mechanically actuated drum
* Brake (R): Leading trailing drum/Disc
* Fuel tank capacity: 3.7 L

Read the one with bold font. As you can see the carburetor-type Honda Wave 125 is more powerful and torquey than Fi sibling. Also, the maintainance is low and easy to repair compared to Fi which used ECU. Still, we in Malaysia should have Fi bikes(we have one actually, that is Yamaha FZ-150i).
The special thing about Fi is about fuel efficiency. This is proven by the review of FZ-150i by Roda-Roda magazine in Malaysia September issue.
Self modification to fit your bike with Fi is actually possible but I think it is not worth the effort.
