I thought all naked bikes are hot?

thatrs coz R25 is a parallel twin which has less vibration of the KTM's single cylinder.


most of the complaints ive heard is more during traffic jam or traffic lights. coz the radiator fan will be blowing right at ur legs.


ya meh? my z250 has good airflow so my balls feels coooooooooolll while riding ahahahahha

i won't recommend u wearing shorts for the ride even if its for a short ride. thou when riding should be ok, its when u stop and the heat can dry ur wet jeans in matter or minutes lol.

i can coupe with the vibration from other kapchais, even scooters (i did a couple of long distance ride with kapchais and scooters back on my younger days lol) and the vibration is still tolerable. not on ktm dukes lol.

gotta agree with u about kapchais though.. though single cylinder, the vibrations is really very low.

Kapchais vibration not so much maybe because the piston & bore relatively small and lighter.

On 7-8th July Kelantan International Bike Week will be held at Stadium Sultan Muhammad IV, Kota Bharu. Registration will be opened at 3pm Sorry for the late info but I think bikers group may already know about this.

suzuki test day @ sepang...


n wht is this 300cc bike ?

Well i rather buy 600cc 2nd hand if that is the case thou

Original chain knackered after 20,000km.

Surprisingly, the front sprocket is still in good nick... the rear, however, hv just started to hook. Nonetheless, both outlasted the stock factory Benelli chain.

Replaced the chain to a DID one, which costed RM350 at Ah Hong. Took the opportunity to swap out the old 14T/46T sprocket setup to a 15T/46T setup (which gives a much larger ratio difference compared to a 14T/45T).

Result? My bike now cruises at 150km/h on the speedo at 7000rpm in 6th gear on my ride to work today. That's a much more relaxed ride, instead of having to whip the hell out of the engine to cruise above the speed limit. Running on fresh Michelin Pilot Road 4 rubbers.

There's less torque, but I'm not the type to blast away from the traffic lights anyway.

New chain & sprockets made the bike feel new again. Lol...

tnt600?

Yes, it's my daily ride-to-work workhorse.

u own frm new? how many years already?

It's a 2013 bike, first owned by some chap out in the sticks in Sekinchan who rode it for like 5000km before storing it in his barn & forgetting about it for over a year.

I paid him RM23k for it in 2015 & been riding it to work (Bt Antarabangsa-Bt Bintang) ever since.

A lot of ppl say shit about this bike because of its QJ origins... barang China tak glamer la katakan... but for a 4 cylinder middleweight bike it's cheap enough to buy cash & cheap to insure, it's plenty fast and it roars to life reliably every morning and every afternoon. With a bit of spit & polish that gleaming red paint & red trellis still make it a helluva looker...

so tmrow launch "ASEAN BEST SPORTY SCOOTER"...

for this region, have to got style, looks good then sure can sell... ...

for scooter rider suppose don't have to angkat kaki to sit... but this...

and also rear drum brake n double rear sus isnt that not sporty enough??

seems the cost went into the mega plastic front fairing...




it seems the spec and design of yamaha force 155 is more practical...

but for this region its not sporty enough... its for taiwan market..

more legroom, bigger tank 7.4L, rear disc, mono shock, front compartment with hook for tapau makan, botol minum... lol...

Bring earplugs to go to bike events. Always.

Here kapchai rules but yea scooters are becoming more popular. I cannot brain scooter so maybe with bigger cc there's more torque so I think this one might get it.

tak habis2 with scooter...

yah la... launch trow mar...

with cvt, the acceleration is just nice...try catch scooters after traffic light turn green
