Walk in to kawasaki dealership today.

Asking about z900. All was fine until i said about down payment.
The kawasaki uncle said to me.

"No we dont have anymore z900. Some other model already sold out too. And KMM not going to import anymore bike. They gave all the rights to DRB hi-com and probably change business or change to other brands"

I ask about the kawasaki dealership and the spare parts for kawasaki ports.
He said he dont know.
The spare parts and after sale service probably effected to since those are directly under KMM. So we just wait if drb want them or not.
Probably not.

All this is kawasaki japan decisions. All the 30 years of work kawasaki malaysia has done all goes down to drain.
Let's hope modenas doing a better job.

So yeah. We probably not gonna see anymore big bike from kawasaki after this.

And i do hope everyone take this with a grain of salt. Since we dont really know the validity of this info.

Should be posted in the 'casual bike talk' thread instead of opening a new one, then? Posting new topic like this will cause alarm.

Just a suggestion. notworthy.gif

I'd like to know as well. Sounds pretty aggressive statement for a dealer to make.

When I asked the dealer I bought my bike at (an official Kawasaki Exclusive Service Centre) about this, they said it won't affect anything above 250cc for now. Existing Kawi customers also no need to worry, as KMM is here to stay and parts are still being distributed.

He also said that they are still in the process of finalizing the deal, which was put on hold due to Covid-19. That's why the imports of new bigger cc bikes are suspended for the time being.

That's it then. I'll look forward to the Benelli TRK800 instead.


Which dealership are you talking about, BTW? Name the place so that someone else can go & verify.
