hi guys, need some opinion bout this moped : GT128

i was going to buy this bike next month, i like de design and the meter design is really cool.

but just now, when i chat bout it with my trainer when i was waiting my turn for the bike training......

"Modenas tak boleh punya la ... motor byk problem...."

"yang you boleh pilih 2 brand je : honda dan yamaha............"

"ini bagus (flipping a bike magazine)....(point) honda CBR 150" <---that's way out my budget, mine around 5k only.......

i heard bout the quality of our m'sia made bike, but izzit really that bad ? i mean, i do think they are really familiar with the bikes, but gosh the way how he talk bout modenas bike is like total bulk of rubbish and suggest me better go for other brand such as Yamaha and Honda..........


what you guys think bout this ? plz give some opinion.... i really have 0% knowledge bout bikes, any suggestion and opinion are highly appreciated.......

just get 110ZR la..

that means you also agree that the modenas bike are really not tat good ?

dunno about gt128 as its a new bike
but for kriss family, damn tahan
modenas is not the correct bike if u want power and good fc but really good in highway
its reliability even though not as tough as ex5 but at least better than yamaha or suzuki
even the new gen of ex5, coming from taiwan is not good as previous gen.
i'm using ct110 now and i like the power. better than wave 110S

no i dun really look for power and yes, fc is what most important here cuz i'm using it for work pergi balik.....

ya correct2. he quite demanding. u see he just said yamaha/honda. then point out cbr150. yamaha/honda dont have smaller bike meh?

haha...yup it is......just that the design is a bit ah pek only....

Added on April 24, 2010, 1:19 pmyup, he just mention that 2 brand...

so at that time, i was like "oh my, msia people also dun really support msia made motor ehh.........this mean the motor must be really not that good?"

mayb they ride motor for a longer period, so smaller cc bike doesnt really meet their need.....

I'm on 1st generation of modenas gt128. So far what I can say about this bike is very good, not so bad fc, cool meter panel, good pickup, with good tuning I bet can play with lc. Ron 97 rm 6 full tank and can go till 100-120km. By the way I'm using iridium spark plug. Hehe.

my modenas kriss 110 stayed with the family for 8-9 years before it's sold off, without any major repair... and i really do thrash and abuse the bike alot.. maxing the throttle most of the time when i cruise on highway.. i would say it's a good and very reliable bike, the only reason it's being sold is cause no one is using the bike anymore..

ur trainer is anti m'sia product lorr .... everything from here is not good for him ... including himself.

i own kriss II for almost 11 yrs ..... still in condition, can speed up to 120kmh. Never overhaul yet eventhough milleage almost 65,000km

my father's kriss1 now aged 17yrs edi ('93).. engine never jam, never need overhaul at all (at least not yet).. just jaga the oil, chain, sprocket, tayar etc a.k.a normal wear & tear parts.. i usually full throttle it as im quite a speed-freak during my teenage era.. now the bike passed to my bro he's using it for ride to work everyday 60km no problem until today.. where got modenas bike no quality 1?? kawasaki technology maa..

thx guys.... i'll go for GT !

i bought a gt128 around 3 months ago
the only thing i don't like abt it is the hard start
other than that it's a nice bike
fc Ron 95 RM5 can go around 110km or so(40km/L), that's not bad at all
speed the far i went was 145km/h then slowed down because it's dangerous
it's also more stable on the road than the other bikes around the same price
i like the digital clock and the rpm meter that it has

gt128 is not bad at all...but...who can fight my RC110 that been used from 1980 untill now i'm using it...haha~ no major prob, speed can go until 130kmph or above sometimes...

These days, don't look too much into the brand. Depends on certain model, Modenas does have some reliable bikes. GT128 is one of the hot favourites these days due to the trendy design, the 128CC and the popularity that came with Adnan Sempit. Bare in mind though, its a hot choice for thieves as well.

I think you can't go wrong with GT128. I'm a Lagenda user btw.

actually modenas is not that bad...the reason why more ppl goes for yamaha and honda is because it is easier to modified since all the racing parts and other third party spare parts is very much available in the market... but for modenas, its a bit difficult for modification, but if you are not going to modified your bike, then there should be no problem with modenas... (i know this from a very2 reliable source)

my kriss and elegan quite good, no major issues. as a owner i can vouch that elegan is much durable than suzuki vs125

ya la...
GT128 is good bro...
if not...adnan sempit also don't ride that bike...

thx for the info guys, now i'm a proud owner of gt128 ~~!!

btw, its titanium grey colour ^.^

it's typical msian lah..anything got H logo (for cars n bikes) or Y name (for bikes) should be better than others. im not really a biker..but modenas is a good brand. the bike a bit underrated.

true... after using the modenas 128, i seriously dont felt its really as bad as what they mention... really like this bike now !!

huhu...GT128 owner here...what can i say...good FC, 60km=1L (ron95),very reliable...no major issues so far..

add some extra hundreds and get Y135LC.. this is way better, faster and more powerful than those 125 or 110 or even this 128cc crap.

and add some extra bucks for all the locks needed to guard your lc, or prepare a spare bike for work when your lc got stolen

gt128 rocks for its specs and not-so-panas status

this one very true... at least can park the bike without have to worry to much. and seriously 128 is very solid build compare to other bike

which 125 u are referring to? Z?

128GT most stable bike on their line.. no problem at all.. start issue -- used choke.. when engine hot.. release choke.. no problem at all..

can go 145 - 150 km/h
stable
nice design
disk brake (front and back)
no radiator (no need to put water )

i think modenas motor issue is only the kick start..

i own one.. first batch one (during AF era) with vibration issues.. solve already..
so far no problem except the fuel gauge is sometimes show wrong level .. it is electronic..

other thing.. it superb...

yup.. agreed with most of the people here.. no problem with the gt.. i bought this bike just a week before chinese new year.. the handling is good.. fc is very good.. the problem is just the fuel gauge... i couldnt find a suitable time to go to the service center to get a replacement for the parts yet..

bro i think mine got the vibration issue as well, how you solve it?

err i think the main reason why old kriss model very tahan is that it use engine made by kawasaki (if not mistaken), dulu2 modenas takda kilang lagi. think so la. nowadays i see kriss very fragile one.. better buy demak dirt bike. hahah

i owned kriss 1 been using it for 13 years oredi.... damn tahan.... can go 110 -120kmh easily with no problem... using it ganaz2 to work carrying my wife maa...

modenas ok laaa... Dulu i pakai yamaha ss2, hancuq... Now using elegan, 3.5 years no major prob, lampu semua tak pernah terbakaq, bateri tak kong lagi, press starter only once terus hidup, cuma absorber je dah reput. Parking tmpt gelap pun takde org minat, seat lebaq pungkoq tak kebas, handle pjg lengan tak lenguh. Mmg far away diff la dn ss2... If i jual my motor, i'll buy elegan again...
