I need to get a moped to commute to work. Was using the original Modenas Krisfor 9 years-with only foot starter, sold it after 9 years. 3 years in, changed sports rim to use tubeless tyres.

So specs I am looking in a moped are:
- < 150 cc. No hand clutch better-easier to maintain. Same power with the Kriss (110 cc fine with me. Anything lower than that not interested/underpowered)
- Don't mind disc/drum brake
- Must be able to put that front basket/raga. Good storage under seat is a plus.
- Must come with sports rim and tubeless. Willing to get any other moped and put tubeless and sports rim. Total price of conversion of both (tubeless and sport rim) must not exceed price of other moped that already comes with tubeless and sport rim.
- Budget max RM7k. Usage for work, not interested in racing, but must able to carry stuff on moped and easy to ciluk traffic
- Brand: No preference though I like Honda and Yamaha-need to be reliable. Modenas is fine too.

I found this bike from Yamaha (135LC ES): http://www.yamaha-motor.com.my/product.asp...=6§ion=feat
mostly fit the bill but comes with hand clutch. If anyone know any other alternatives better.That basket will ask the motor salesman to put.

Thanks for the recommendations

Yamaha LC is the best <150cc motorbike for me now. It's already have sport rim and tubeless. Riding are quite fun and smooth too. The pick up are really good for ciluk2. However, there are two type of LC in the market IINM. With clutch and without clutch. Can't remember the price different.

IMO, for city driving without clutch is better because sometime at traffic jam, it's tiring to press the clutch over and over. But the seat for 2nd person are small and for someone with big butt like me, it's uncomfortable than riding a Kriss.

Another bike in mind is Lagenda. Both are Yamaha and hotcake for bike thief. You definitely need extra security for them. If I were you, I'll pick LC...

Honda future, big compartment underneath and claim to be fuel efficient too

fz150?

That is why I want without clutch. That Yamaha I posted got clutch. Which Yamaha is this?

Honda future is great too. Already got sport rim, remove tube can go tubeless. Easy.

cannot put basket...

givi box?

Have you tried riding that bike with box at the back with full load? Balance lari, no longer centre like basket, also when you ciluk box can hit high vehicle like lori when you want to turn after ciluk. Also putting box at the back makes the bike longer, hence harder to ciluk.

At Sarawak, there is two type of LC. With clutch and without clutch. Without clutch are cheaper.

Been using it for years, no issue taking stroll daily on morning kl road? Mine 35 litre box, slightly larger than normal

I see. Only me not used to it then

yeah its up to personal preference actually, i too had skepticism towards clutch laden bike at first but get used to it already. rode moped before fz150

125cc and below moped has deeper basket to put more things, compared to LC and Belang basket if you don't wanna put givi box. FYI. For me putting a Givi box make my life easier since i don't have to carry my helmet and raincoat around. Unless you go for Honda Future.

LC is ur best option.. but make sure u have enough protection while parking.. bikes thieve really look into this kind of bikes just in case u didnt know... the key entry is easily to break also. if u think its too risky to handle, u might wanna go for modenas gt128.. about 2k cheaper than LC... front and rear disc brake comes factory fitted. but engine is so so only.. not a liquid cooler.. normal bikes la with vibration here and there but the fc is gooding yooo...

tested for weather and endurance and has traveled from malaysia to london if you follow hadi's solo ride
