i think BS honda will have difficulty putting this rebel against the vulcan S.

vulcan CC higher, and the price after GST is already less than RM30K.

second hand vulcan can get at RM20k cash already.

unless one is a die hard fan of this bike's look....

i think this rebel design is really weird....

can u cruise in traffic jam?

apart from the naza blade 650,

the er6n was the first? affordable CKD middle weight bike in msia...

Some do like cruisers, especially short ppl. My fiancee is drooling over the Vulcan S right now. Heck, in the early 90s, almost EVERYBODY rode the XV535 cruiser to get their B licence.

Who says Msians don't like cruisers?

I think the Rebel looks pretty much like a Bolt in profile. Meaning a shorter looking bike from front wheel to back as compared to the longish looking Vulcan



Attached thumbnail(s)

ymh bolt has the classic look,

honda rebel the "hump" is too high

people used to praise the ER6N for being very "torquey"

and now they call the mt07 master of torque,

MT07 torque starts to exceed 40lbft @ ~ 3k rpm.

versys 650, vstrom 650




Hyosung/naza blade 650




vs Duke 690, sv650






vs honda CBR650







z650 improved the midrange of ER6N at the expense of few top end horse power...

Cycle World

Cycle World did a test between MT-07 & Z650. got suzus as well.

they let u ride at the stadium car park? ??

like practise jpj B lesen

i dunno.. never been to any of their event before.

maybe they just let u get the feel of it, not a full ride outside the compound.

Vulcan S too long. Test ride it before. But for truly long distance


Sadly no.

No rumours at all. As usual, BS too slow to bring in anything 'good'

I'll still go for Rebel 500 Lighter.


I do... Virago 535? Shaft driven

quote from bikes republic website...

" KMSB will be setting up a specially arranged course designed to allow riders to feel the agility, maneuverability, versatility and light-weight handling of all the new Kawasakis. "

new ducati monster 797 air cooled.

they lowest priced monster to date.....

I use my Vulcan as my daily ride to work in KL. No issues.... Even with the side boxes.

Agree, Vulcan S best for beginner bike.. specially for those who are Heavy Weight

how much?

air cooled - traffic jam time will overheat or not?

Yay.

Oh The Virago.
