I stay in Kuala Lumpur. I am male.
I intend to buy a Suzuki Address scooter.

I choose scooter because it is fuel effiency.


Any commends?

Suzuki has ceased assembly operations in Malaysia with the shutting down of its assembly plant in Prai, Penang. The plant assembled scooters and kapchais, including the Suzuki Address, Nex, Axelo and Belang, amongst other sub-150 cc models.

With the shutting down of the plant, Suzuki Assemblers Malaysia will concentrate on the large-displacement motorcycle market, with units imported from Japan. According to industry sources, Suzuki intends to maintain a presence in Malaysia for the foreseeable future.

Yes I got this one can go 200km per tankful. Still I suggest the usual honda/yamaha ones.

Why you still think another one?

Fuel efficiency is a good point.
How many years of warranty do your motorcycle dealer give you? One year or two years?

Thank you

the only thing that i dislike about scooter is the absence of basket
i am so used to having one on kapcai, it's rather an inconvenience when riding a scooter without one

Can place one in front of the light but don't know Malaysia have such accessories or not?
Compare to the kapcai and Suzuki Address, which is more powerful?

Yours is FI or carburetor?
Carburetor is sure eat oil. On the other hand, FI save oil but more expensive in both kapcai and scooter.
200+km every full tank can or not?

Why? 113cc equal to 125cc. This is what the Internet forum or others mentioned this figure.
I make a decision already, that is Suzuki Address.

Any other comments?

almost there....scooter is better but not suzuki, they already pulled out from malaysia market, it would be difficult to source parts, warranty n service

i would recommend
<150cc = yamaha nmax 155cc or for sportier looks yamaha nvx/aerox next year
>150cc = new modenas elegan 250cc
>250cc = kymco xciting 400cc
>400c = yamaha tmax 500cc, aprilia srv 850cc

I would suggest you don't get suzuki models as suzuki has announced to retreat from m'sia market... you may expose the risk of getting spare parts with expensive price or even hard to get the spare parts...

I am living in KL as well... tend to change my 20-year-old modernas kriss 110 recently...

I am thinking to get 250cc big bike or scooter... but feeling hard to move around super jammed KL city center...

Hence, I am start to look for smaller cc scooter with bigger fuel tank... currently looking for honda pcx150 and yamaha nmax 155... the coming yamaha nvx 155 even look nicer in term of the look but smaller fuel tank compare to yamaha nmax 155...

I would like to share with you... I like pcx150 more because:
- pcx150 having 8 liter ++ fuel tank but nmax155 just 6 liter ++
- pcx150 engine capacity 149cc just right below 150cc no need pay roadtax but nmax have to pay roadtax
- pcx150 has bigger underseat storage
- pcx150 chromed handlebar and meter looks awesome compare to nmax155

Unfortunately, I have not gone for test ride yet... I am doubt is there any shop in KL offer test ride for pcx150 and nmax155 or not...

Nmax roadtax is RM30 yearly, while PCX v3 is RM2 only.

I used in dilemma also last time, to choose between Pcx and Nmax. As for me, the petrol tank is really the upper hand and big advantage compared to Nmax. Plus the idling start stop, Pcx easily can achieve early 300KM per tank, very good deal tak penah nak asyik stop isi minyak.

But at the end, I choose Nmax mainly because of the selling price.
