Are you really going to go for it? May I ask why naked/standard? A lot of people go for naked/standard nowadays instead of sportsbike. I do not understand. Can you explain. Is it the riding position? If it is because of riding position why not cruiser then?

Just drooling drool.gif Not really into big bike anymore. Old time sake. hahaha

But, if the 'itchiness' grows... I'll just get one Z650. sweat.gif I like this one because the riding position. A bit upright. I'm not into fast / speedy ride anymore. Not that young anymore whistling.gif . Leisure weekend ride perhaps. No more scraping kneecap sweat.gif

As for cruiser... IF Honda bring in Rebel 500... guarantee I'll be the first customer to buy it. thumbup.gif Hnnnnngggh

You can select the sissy mode on the handlebar to cut power and let the traction control prevent you from doing anything stupid with the throttle.

actually, a faired bike is still favoured here in msia, also inline4 enjins, that is still the majority of mat motor mentality.

the naza blade 650, used to come in naked and faired. Naza stopped selling the naked version few years ago, permintaan kurang they said.

cruiser position is different, look at the vulcan S. the seat is very low, and your legs/ feet are in forward kangkang position. i personally don't prefer to ride like that biggrin.gif

As for the one-up category MT09, it seems that Yamaha has slapped on an engine that outdoes the body, making it too easy to accidentally pop a wheelie. I've not ridden one but i think I'll give that a miss for now. The MT10 also pretty damn sweet, but at RM115....?! Think not smile.gif
*
that mt09 jerky/snappy throttle ymh hav already updated the mapping,

latest 2017 version they improve the suspension as well.

the mt10 @ ah hong motor sentul, i heard it is just grey import from them,

not official CBU frm HLYM. HLYM never announce any CBU for mt10.


QUOTE(Mikahl @ May 10 2017, 06:26 PM)
On the topic of MT07, i understand the local models don't come equipped with ABS, ....is the ABS really gonna make a big difference? Some researchers in Australia think that ABS makes a 30 percent difference to your chances of an accident on a motorcycle.
*
well if the non abs mt07 is rm1-2k cheaper than z650, then i don't mind.

now no abs but more expensive, in EU they are priced the same, some country its either z650 or mt07 abit more

expensive, but both with ABS.

No, folks going for naked/standard bikes is *NOT* a new phenomenon.

Naked bikes have always had a good following. Of course, the term 'naked' only became widespread in the last 10 or so years. 'Naked' is the original style of motorcycles (classic bikes are all 'naked' bikes until folks started modifying them into cafe racers which evolved into fully faired sportsbikes).

Naked bikes in the form of UJMs were very popular since way back through models like the Kawasaki Zephyrs, the Honda CBs and the Suzuki GS bikes. Those who can't imagine what UJMs look like, all you have to do is imagine the old police bike without the front windshield - those were CB750-P, part of the Honda CB family of UJMs which culminated in the popular CB400 VTEC (loads in SG) and the CB1300.

Of course, fully faired sportsbikes eventually outshined everything else because this genre became the first in line to directly benefit from whatever technology that came out of racing.

That said, even back then there were already lots of people stripping fully faired sportsbikes into naked bikes, and these were known as 'streetfighters' that combined the punch of sportsbikes with the wide bars and upright position of UJMs. The 1990s saw loads of those early watercooled and cradle framed GSXR750/GSXR1100 being converted into stuntable streetfighters (the new Yamaha MTs are a modern interpretation of these classic hooligan wheelie/burnout bikes).

Meanwhile, over in the US 'naked' bikes were already popular in the guise of Harley XR flat trackers made for oval clay racetracks. Harley Sportsters are a direct descendant of these, and those are naked too.

Anyway... custom-made streetfighters eventually gave way to what people call 'naked' bikes today.

A cruiser's riding position is not like that of a naked bike. The former is made for cruising, with low footpegs that let you stretch out your legs for easy laid back riding. The latter's riding position allows for a more nimble bike that's more suited for urban traffic.

naked bike position is the middle ground between cruiser and sport riding position.
nimble enough for spirited riding and relaxed enough for normal riding.

Then another alternative to consider is the Vulcan S650 which is a good bike for easy riding and pack more torgue than Rebel 500. Price wise is almost similar to the Rebel.

No new yet as to whether Boon Siew will be bringing it in or when it will be brought in. The rebel 500 is direct competition to the Vulcan S from Kawasaki.

I understand. Malaysians don't like cruisers because they're to relaxed and laid back? Malaysians don't like to cruise and enjoy? How are these criterias bad?
