it’s gonna be the case if you use dealers as intermediaries for sale.

best is for manufacturers to sell them directly, but they dun have the vast network of stores for retail purposes.

dilemma.

Cost to set up own branches is high (staffing, parts, aftersales service, warranties, B&P, ec.) and most bike companies are small operators compared to their car counterparts. That's why they need to depend on dealers. It is a no-win situation for them and unfortunately, we are the ones that drive the dealers bargaining power

Blame MiTi and Rafidah for AP system, even the manufacturer can't set a foot in Malaysia and have to go through.. you name it.. Naza, Boon Siew, Sunrock, Hong Leong and Leon (for suzuki)..

Malaysia is not consider a big market for small capacity motorcycle manufacturer as they need to sell in mass volume compare to car industries....

What I see is.. there's a trend big motorcycle brand appoint an exclusive dealership for their bikes.. example like Triumph with Fast bikes, BMW with several Re-seller like AB, Chear and others, then Honda see this trend with their big wing franchises...

Because compare to SG and Th, even Indon down south, Malaysia big bike market biggest in ASEAN...

And profit margin for big bikes is BIG ..hehehe

Just knew that Victory motorcycle was stopped by Polaris. I kinda fancy Victory Octane really. Because of the liquid cooling. But these are ...

Anyone here have any experience with the CMC XY400?

There's a fully cafe'd version which is sexy as hell. What are the odds of it being sold here in Malaysia?

Too bad la such a good brand really but I think you still can buy one since they're willing to offer support at most 10 years from now. One review says only 30% of component are from Indian like the lowercase is almost identical but there rest are Victory's magic. It's an upgrade for Vulcan S really.

did u check out naza? looks like they r still selling victory... old stock need to clear?

Keyword NAZA.... many good brand but turns sour under them... look at what happen with Harley?

wats this ??

pipu begging for cbr250rr now they wana sell this ??

Naked bikes are 'ín' mah now. I don't think they will bother with sport or supersport bikes with fairing for now cos the market trend shows most people preferring nakeds over fully faired bikes. I personally prefer a fully faired bike and I think only Kawasaki offers both versions of their bikes - naked and full fairing.

Single cylinder... is it?

CBR250RR Only if government allows us commoners to import direct.

Haha. Naza pulled two strings at a time selling recond and new which is very conflicting.

I think what NAZA did was biting more than it could chew. One too many brands under the roof. Indian and HD doesn't get along well too as they're competitor.

Haha yup, I don't like the regular CMC XY400 but the cafe version really manages to look like a premium product.

tht cafe is the MASH version, they use the shineray 400 bike, but the styling is by mash, they ask china factory to do it for them

cmc is selling cmc version of shineray, so u will not get the mash cafe here... unless u can find the parts in china.

And we have yet to see the rumored 175cc moped. I dont need a clutch for my kapchai.

u mean the sim super 175i?

launch oredi, but mforce is kinda like not enough manpower..

i tot its on sale already? my friend found it on bike shop, but not sure where.
sym vf3i, 183cc
price around rm8500

if u dont need clutch, then there is no such things, unless u take less cc bike like lc135 or wave etc.

or u can take scooter
