Hears the news way back when i go into kawasaki dealership.
And on july a statement way release from suzuki that they stopped all bike purchase and cancel all order from customers. They also said a new agents will takeover. It's probably KMM.

Man now sv650 is back on my radar

Suzuki moped problem is branding. many motor dealer don't sell or recommended  suzuki bike.
Kawasaki Motors Malaysia (KMM) must deal with this bike taiko else new suzuki just like old suzuki.

But suzuki bike are insanely good and reliable. My late father suzuki still running. A few friends still using them for work daily.

Why dealer dont sell them?

Was holding my purchases since covid.
Everything went wrong.
Don't know if I ever get the chance to buy one anytime soon.

And yes gsx s750 price was insanely high back then.

GC Ann guy got back to me today, confirming that the V-strom he mentioned months ago turned out to be CBU.

Long story cut short, I was offered rock bottom RM38,500 OTR (3rd pty insurance) cash price, minus the freebies.

I'm like DAAAAAAAAAMMMNNNN.... people were trying to sell their 2-3 year old V-stroms for that price in the used market!
But it left me wondering... if Suzuki can flog this bike CBU at under RM40k and still make a profit (pretty sure they're not doing it for charity at this point), imagine the profit margin they were raking in when they were selling it at RM45k previously!

Yeah the new bike all cbu from Japan.
Before every suzuki bike is overpriced.

I think KMM already have the infrastructure to do mass import and cut price to suit Malaysian Market.

They did this with kawasaki. So they pretty much know what to do already. And they already got the plan and infrastructure lay out. All KMM had to do is bring in the bike in large number

So what happens to the Versys 650? Will they cut price to match?

Pandemic notwithstanding, at least now I got something to really look forward to in Q1 next year. Need to see the CFmoto 800MT in the flesh, see if I can handle the seat height and decide. Admittedly, although looking rather old fashioned by now, the V-strom does actually fulfil my needs to tour 2-up comfortably with the wife... and it does so with proven bulletproof reliability & at a significantly lower price. The pricier 800MT comes with the twin seduction of more power & more modern specs.

Kawa versys is always more expensive then V-strom.
But both are proven a reliable bike.

But kawasaki 650 is more of a road going bike.
And V-strom is a very capable off road motorcycle due to its better ground clearance.

At the end of the day. Pick the right bike for the thing you planned to do

Yeah, that's why the GSXS750 is sold out in many places. New stock only arriving at month end (told by eang chun).

No joke. 40k is a bargain for a new bike with that spec. (In Malaysia)
I want In-line 4 bike. And cb650r was on my top list.
Since kawa basically dead now.
Now gsx s750 show up.
