Was just at Welly Team Cycle Subang, sadly the Rebel not in yet, but they will be doing a demo ride either end September or October near their shop, which they said they'd announce via their FB 2 weeks in advance. The model is a 500cc, comes with ABS tagged at RM 31k+

Also sat on the MSX125 (new colours are blue and purplish). Between the Honda Grom, Kawa Z125 and Benelli's TNT135, I'd still vouch for the TNT135 mainly due to it's design ergonomics which feels closest to a full size naked.

At 6ft, it might be a bit uncomfortable, anyway, I'm waiting for a test ride. thumbup.gif

6 months ago, I went and checked out these, and one more, Benelli's TNT135. I bought the latter, and it's now got almost 6000km on the clock. Ride to work almost daily (near only, 3km). The high mileage is from taking it for spins after work as I used the bike for practice for bike license. It's my first ever motorcycle, and no problems so far, touchwood.

Why I chose the TNT135 over the MSX and Z125?

1. The handlebar clearance over the knee. I'm 178cm tall, need the clearance to avoid hitting the knee.
2. The number of gears, the TNT135 has 5, the others only 4.
3. Price - TNT 8k, Kawa 9k+, Grom 11k.
4. Looks - this one personal preference, but I especially liked the tail hugger and twin pipes on the TNT. Also, the white colour option highlights the red trellis frame prominently.
5. Displacement - 135cc vs 125cc on the rest.
6. Adjustable rear shocks.
7. Fuel tank 7.2l (250km)

As for max speed, 115kmh tops, then speed limiter kicks in. But vibration on handlebars starts around 100kmh. Drivability wise, I have no previous experience on bikes so I can't compare, but I can say it's hell of a fun bike on its own merits.

As for parts, can order from Segambut KL or Penang (HQ) - SYM M-Force. Original or aftermarket mods can order from Taobao thru local agent but not cheap. Just go to taobao site.

Happy hunting!

If you are worrying about the clearance between knee and handle bar just change the handle bar and you are good to go. I changed mine and it felt so different, in a good way.

I am 178cm

How about KTNS Rhino 125 (Razkull in other markets outside of Malaysia)?
I recently kena poisoned on fun bike and coincidentally I am thinking of getting a Motorcycle license. I am 178 cm, 75 kg. Would look odd to be on fun bike? Thinking of daily driving this to work.

hahaha...dang. then have to go with kapchai liao


KTNS looks bulkier than the other bikes though.
And at a lower price. Along the 7-8k range.
I think there is an even cheaper alternative, Demak Sprinter....but lol...Demak has shut down.

So I went to see the KTNS rhino...my friend said the bike doesn't seem as small as expected for my size.
