Thanks, this is a great thread! Love the suggestions. I am looking for an easy to maintain bike - no need for speed or power. I have my eyes on the buccaneer which looks amazing. I've seen another cafe racer called the skyteam. What are your thoughts on that?
So the order of preference i have currently for these bikes is:
1. Buccaneer
2. Modena 15
3. KTNS 125
can anyone recommend a good dealer with excellent after sales support in the Damansara or Sg Buloh area?

the buccaneer is way overpriced.. being a locally assembled bike..

if u can afford tht price. u might wana wait for gpx gentleman.. frm thailand, heard it will be assemble by mofaz as well n plan to sell @ rm12kx exclude gst.. which is still considered overpriced by some.. if compared to the bajaj ns200...

Modenas is the cheapest and you may use the cash to get it modified to change to a more cafe racer look

Bucaneer and KTNS both already provide that cafe racer style so not much modification to be done

Sg Buloh there is shop called Heap Hing..never been there..but the salesmans via whatsapp and fb are very friendly and responsive

i have asked around..quite steep the price ley..18xxx OTR for bucaneer.. if gentleman 200 is 12k, a bit like ktns 250 already..the latter is a proper motorcycle while gentleman is mini bike cum modern cafe racer

I might scrap the idea of this cafe racer bike and go for fun bike instead rclxms.gif
