The Corsacorta 50.9mm short stroke with oversquare bore at 79.0mm engine has pushed the power to 200hp (real conversion from 147.7kW is actually 198hp) up from 180hp of the original F4 version. This F4 RR Corsacorta comes with new colour that is matt pearl white which is in my humble opinion, the perfect colour for this 200hp machine.

Read the official release below:

RR, the magical acronym that immediately brings to mind the world of competition. The bike for special individuals who demand the most exhilarating riding experience. Created using the most exotic materials, ultra-sophisticated suspension and the new 1000cc short-stroke engine make the MV Agusta F4 RR the most advanced and powerful superbike in the world.

When the most sophisticated chassis design is joined with the new MV short stroke engine, the result can only be an extraordinary machine. The MV Agusta F4 RR is the perfect tool for riders who demand the utmost performance. Evolved, exotic, and even further refined, the F4 RR is currently the best that technology can offer to the motorcycling world. To already refined MV Agusta F4, you add even more exotic materials, reduced weight, and, above all, a 201 hp four-cylinder engine  which makes the F4 RR the most powerful superbike ever built. All “packaged” with the advanced design that makes the MV Agusta F4 RR unique and unmistakable.
A project for  those who demand the ultimate riding experience.

VN-II gives an impression that is much bigger than what it actually is and that is exactly what the designer want us to think when we look at it. The design and stance are carried from its larger siblings that is the Vulcan 750, while it itself is only fitted with 250cc of displacement. That’s why I’m calling this bike ‘the big small bike’. It looks big, but small in displacement. With the displacement is only at 250cc, we can get good fuel economy with great low-to-mid torque. Also, the maintainance it much lower compared to other big bikes.

2009 Kawasaki VN-II is price at RM25,989 (excluding road tax, insurance and registration)

This is actually the first bike that caught my attention while I was at the Modenas carnival at GTMax in Shah Alam. This GT128 a.k.a GT135 in Greece is draped a lot of carbon fibre coversets with black overall colour. The wheel are clever as it uses stainless steel wheel which is different that the stock GT128 which comes in COM* (Comstar) cast alloy wheel.

The front look of the GT128 looks like an owl already with the double lamp headlight, but with the addition of HID (high intensity discharge) light, it adds much meaner look and more ‘life’ to it. This HID headlight look very much the same like the one fitted to 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1. The reason this headlight is choosen is because it is compact and can save in weight.  (more…)

Modenas has organized a carnival at GTMax on Sat and Sun last week. I met with many Modenas supporter there from GT128riders.com, CTBikerz.com, GT128-Xtreme and many more.

One of the most special thing about this mod is actually not from the engine, but the seat cover in diamond web fabric.

Modenas has setup this nice CT100 bike in orange with few yellow and black accent. My eyes are attracted the left clutch lever that mean this bike is equipped with manual clutch kit. Some of the coverset are replaced with the one in carbon fibre design which adds nice touch when viewed up close.
