Yah, I've been to 3 Kawa test ride already. Tempted to get Z650  drool.gif  but I don't ride fast-fast anymore (not that young anymore). Leisure ride would suits me more - Vulcan S (too heavy and big) or Rebel 500 (just nice, sits on it at Arts of Speed  thumbup.gif ) are the options  whistling.gif .

As for Honda, I've been trying to get a test ride for Rebel 500 for ages. Had been calling Welly Subang many times. The bike still not ready for test ride. Yet Honda brag in their FB that it's available for test ride from 1st Sept  bangwall.gif Going to pay cash also they don't want  puke.gif

have u seen youtube moto vlogger called "The Sighbored"?

He actually got a custom box on his ZX6R..and it is located on top of the pillion seat. well, it's a dummy pillion seat anyway. Much better looking than having extended rack..but side box is something else..get a proper one and your bike will look like a big touring Kawa GTR1400

wht the sighbored done is a very economical way to bolt base plate to an extra pillion seat, then put on a box,

this is useful for bikes with separate seats, and if u can buy cheap replacement seats from china.

many riders have been doing this for quite sometime, in msia ppl still kinda "havent seen it"

bcos not many use a bike as single rider only, but with this mod, u can easily swap the seat with the ori one and done.

the only thing tht needs to pay attention is...

the pillion seat is not bolted on to the subframe, it is merely placed there and with a simple locking mechanism to hold it in place..

so u dont go carry heavy stuff and went to pek corner.. the seat might tercabut...

hepco becker have been making these " sportrack " for quite some time already for most bikes with separate seat

and of cos it is mahal la for RM... $$$$

diy mod like this cheaper...

idk if the brand perception or the factory here is bad.

quite a numbers of Benelli RFS 150i (only for sale in Malaysia) are at the SYM Segambut. From the talk, there are a lot of unsolved problem.

Ive been riding Benelli TNT135 for close to 7 months now..so far I got:

- meter panel broken after 1 day out of shop - settled for warranty (2 weeks at SYM Segambut)
- just recently, my handle crown/bearing worn out! Not reach 1 year pun..malas settle warranty just ask kedai to buy sparepart to replace.

And to think that MForce has the audacity to add a couple of other brands to be under their wing here in Malaysia, it baffles me. They should focused on the current mass market that they have sold first, such as SYM and Benelli, improve after sales etc, before testing new market.

What do you guys think?

anyone using benelli or any mforce brands' bike?

do you guys feel that mforce is neglecting any improvement on after sales but keep pushing new bikes (or even new brands) here?
