yeah, heard this few weeks back. local bike scene be like Japan vs China.
Sincerely, I hope kawa will sustain, and Modenas with it, too.

ZZR-Pilotbeen to anywhere lately?

wow nice.
D400 works, I wonder why? I'm looking for a tourer as another bike, too. Dare not venture up Genting or Cameron since I'd be driving instead.
Pantai Remis coconut is nice, I heard. Is that where you heard about the Suzuki/Kawasaki thing?

you mean, that persatuan determined which brand to get more market share and distribution?

I see... some manipulation at play here.

That's a buyer from Vietnam.

Boleh na... GSXS150 right?

K5 engine, need to ask those GSXR750 owners. should be no problem lah...

Kawa 650 engine is vibrate, and different from 1 bike to another.
Some owner complain, some not.
Some vibrate at certain RPM, some don't.

See how much rubber mounting is used on the KLR650... footpegs, handlebars, and seat mount.

The Suzuki situation reminds me of when ER6 first came, CBU then slowly CKD. Quality can see difference, but after many years CBU become lackluster and only manage to hold little value.

The road will be flooded with these price friendly bikes.

Hopefully this time around, Suzuki brand is managed better, and supply chain properly looked after. Otherwise it's just another Japanese brand with foul aftertaste.

Compare MSRP
GSXS - $8499 - 35k
CBR - $9699 - 40k

Compare MSRP
GSXS - $8499 - 35k
CBR - $9699 - 40k (here is $46k)
MT09 - $9399 - 39k (here is $54k)
Z900 - $9099 - 38k (here is $48k)

some models are sold more expensive than others...

haha, of course not

Kawa has a power gap in the middle range roadbike series, and it's always that twin 650cc engine since long time ago.

MT07 is the new benchmark, then a powerful triple MT09 or Triumph.

Honda seeing success with 650cc 4 cylinder and selling like hot cakes.
Triple engines also have good success.

Suzuki SV and the 750 is very overlapping to compete with all these, so is a smart move for Kawa Malaysia to revive Suzuki brand in Malaysia.

Almost jump gun for this bike too... very sui des.

Very good. Even the forefoot looks to have better reach to the floor.

At least have ABS as an option.
But, I prefer without. Then again, it hampers the resale value. Can get 1 first, bypass it, then fix back when selling.

Which one u prefer?

one can of softdrinks, and a lot of ice

above headlamp better

yeah man, surprised to hear this... lol

No number plate one.

Belang has been like that, kena lutut for taller riders one
veli fast, my RGV cannot keep up
