REVIEW Naza Blade GTR 250 TBR

       Alright. Meet my friend's superbike. The Naza Blade 250 GTR. This Blade comes with TBR version is belong to a biker Raflan Ludah. TBR stands for Twin Brother Racing, so this TBR bike comes different decals and accessories. Way more better looks than the normal Blade.

      This Blade originally known as Hyosung 250 GTR, but introduced by Naza in Malaysia. Naza is a well known dealer. Besides Hyosung, Naza also introduced Ferrari, Porsche and others super car. Naza also focusing not just selling, but sales after service. So no worries about spare parts. Now you can have it in any authorized dealer. 

(So, let's begins the REVIEW!)

Going out!

And.. DONE!

      So, after a 10 minutes plus riding, here my review:

PRO:

1. Big Chassis
          Well, if you are 175 cm and above, this is your bike. This chassis is really close to 600 cc size. The fuel tank is 18L capacity, make its the biggest bike for 250cc sportbike. 
2. Good Accelaration
           V-Twin really not dissapoint whoever seeking for speed. Even though this bike is heavy, but the weight doesn't slow the accelaration!
3. Good Riding Position
         Handle of the bike is at the good position, so riding doesn't make you tired, no matter long ride or city ride. It's just confortable to ride around.
4. Stable At High Speed
         When I reach 100 kmh, the bike still stable. No vibration, no sight of lossing control. But I just manage to ride up to 135 kmh, since highway at Kota Kinabalu is not so long. But this Blade can goes more than 135 kmh.
5. Best Price
       What I can say more? Look at mudah.my.. They offer Naza Blade for RM16,000.00, and Rm21.000.00 for Blade 650. The TBR version a bit expensive but still this V-Twin 250 cc is the best price among it's class. 

CON

1. Too Heavy for 250cc
         Ok, for your information, this is the heaviest 250 cc sportbike. 18L of fuel tank does make your bike look nice, but remember, bigger bike can make you tired if you are smaller person.
2. Expensive Parts
        All those spare Parts are original. Easier to get. But the price is somehow expensive than most Kawasaki and Yamaha Parts. For example, the original Oil Filter is costing you RM 70. But, some parts, you can use others brand, as long as it fits on this Blade 250 GTR.

Thanks For Reading. Have A Safe Ride Everyone!

Megelli History

2006 Current off-road products were having a shorter life span within the market place, mainly due to Asian copies. We soon realized that we needed new exciting on-road products, which couldn't be copied easily.

PDQ Get the price, design and quality right and you have a winning formula.

    A creative company with knowledge and experience of the industry was crucial to fulfilling our requirements. A team who believed in our goals, and understood our concept of the final product was selected from the leading European motorcycle designers. Cutting edge C.A.D. technology was used to transfer the original design data into computerized virtual design, breathing new life into the process. The end result could be viewed and analyzed, ensuring compliance with the strict design and engineering criteria, prior to any physical part being produced.

   Key structural components, including frame, sub-frame, swing arm, out-riggers and wheels, were subjected to F.E.A (Finite Element Analysis) ensuring long-term performance and durability.

   Branding was the next step. We needed a name that reflected the product. Around the dinner table that night, my partner explained that she had jokingly been called McGilli because of her surname, and over the next few weeks we eventually changed it to Megelli. Checking the name out on the Internet there were only five results all relating to a small village in Italy, perfect!

2007

1. My Taiwanese business partner brought together manufacturing companies in China to produce tooling for our Motorcycles. 
2. September, gained Type approval, 
3. October, achieved DOT approval.
4. October, production of Megelli Motard 125M
5. November, Product launch Milan EICMA show, 

2008 

1. March, product launch Canton Fair China.
2. May Homologation with SYM engines
3. September production Megelli Naked 125S & Megelli Sport 125R 
4. September ADR approval (Australia)

2009 

1. CE approval Motard 250M, Naked 250S and Sport 250R models
2. June Homologation with 250cc engines

2010 

1. EPA approval USA
2. Megelli had grown into a global brand, which is a credit to our loyal distributors and end users. Like the designs, the demand was strong.
3. We needed a stronger partner; this was to prove the greatest challenge.

2012 

Restyling of Megelli Naked S and Sport R models to incorporate larger airbox, fuel injection and packaging of components.

2013 

Still looking for the right partner.

2014

Megelli distribution partner in Malaysia, were stronger and more experienced in producing motorcycles, so the decision to transfer ownership was made, creating a stronger future for Megelli Motorcycles.

2015

1. Forming of new Megelli global distribution company, Megelli Limited.
2. We can now focus on designing new products for you, our potential customer.

REVIEW Yamaha YZF R25: The Everyday Superbike

 

   You know, it is very rare to see any Yamaha R25 in my place, Sabah. Maybe it is a brand new brand. But there are many riders asking about how good this bike is.  have been searching the bike since few weeks ago and still din't catch any.

  So when they ask me about it, I can't give any pro and cons based on my experience, but I still can give info about it when I do the research via internet.  So here we go.

   Yamaha YZF R25: The Everyday Super Bike. That is official tag line for this bike. It means you can use ii in daily ride, to go work, and city ride where there are a lot of traffic jammed. She also comes with three different colours; Red, Blue and Black

Technical Spec:

• Engine Displacement: 250 cc
• Engine Type : Twin Parallel Cylinders, & valves DOHC Four Stroke, Liquid Cooling.
• Maximum Power: 32.5 Horse power
• Maximum Torque: 22.1 NM
• Top Speed: 171 KPH (Claimed by Yamaha Malaysia)
• Fuel Tank: 14.3 litters
• Kerb Weight: 166 kg
• Transmission: 6 gear manual
• Frame: Diamond Tubular Frame
• Fuel System: EFI 

PROS

1. Powerful
           A 250 cc bike with 35 horse power? Its quite fast to me even it claimed can only reach 171 kph, but I personally think that this Yamaha YZF R25 can go more than 171 kph. This super bike even qualified in Moto GP 3 Racing.
   
2. Good Facelift
          Good speed must comes with good look. This nice facelift is totally different with R15, R6, and R1. She has her own beauty. And one more thing, girls do love it.
   
3. Reliable
          Its Yamaha, man. Yamaha is known to their quality that build for lifetime. And the spare parts are ready stock too. So you don't have to worry about it.
   
4. Good Price
          The price is just RM 19,000.00 OTR. She is much cheaper than Kawasaki Ninja 250R, and same price with Honda CBR 250r and Kawasaki Z250. but compared to these two bikes, Yamaha R25 is much more worthy.
   
5. Super Light
          The new designed lightweight, compact and slim chassis, Yamaha R25 is just 177 kg of kerb weight, makes her among the lightest bike of 250 cc twin cylinders.
   
6. Daily Use
        During the lunching in mid 2005,and asked them what they say about YZF R25, the Yamaha replied "A super bike for everyday." It means this bike designed to handle the traffice jammed's pressure, and can be used everyday to go work.
   
   
   
   (The Yamaha R25 lunching (Left) together with Yamaha R6 (right)
   
   

CONS

1. Poor Accelerations.
       Even she is powerful in top speed, but in acceleration, she's a bit slower compared to her rivals, Kawasaki 250R, and Hyosung /Naza Blade GTR 250,
   
2. Low Brightness
       Her headlamp could be has some problem with the brightness. This is projector headlamp, it suppose to brighter than bulb. I hope Yamaha could fix this.

     So I hope is can help you guys if you gonna purchase this. Remember those info comes from internet. I cannot give you my opions about this since I never ride this yet. But for sure, this is one good bike for starter, or experienced riders too.

Have a nice day, people!

And today, I giving another review for another super bike. Kawasaki Ninja 250r. This super bike is belongs to my friend Nasrun. And this review also came from his experience with his own Kawasaki Ninja 250r.

So no worries about getting your spare parts. Kawasaki Ninja 250r has been arc enemy of Yamaha R25, Honda CBR 250r and Naza Blade 250r. So, here we go to the specifications.

SPEC:

1. Engine:
       Kawasaki Ninja 250r using Twin Parallel Cylinders. Four Stroke Machine and has Liquid Cooling System.  So this kind of engine types suits enough for hot temperature like Malaysia.
       The displacement for the engine is 249cc, and has high horse power, which is 32 HP. So Kawasaki Ninja 250r is the fastest among 250cc super bikes.  Not to forget, Kawasaki Ninja has 6 gears of transmission.
   
2. Dimension:
   -Width : 715 mm
   -Height : 1,400 mm
   -Seat Height: 775 mm

     Enough for simple specifications. Now we go to the Pros and Cons about Kawasaki Ninja 250r. Not to forget this review is came from the owner of the bike, Nassrun, that has ridden this bike for at least two years.

PRO :

1. Fuel Save for 250cc engine. Has bigger tank makes you less worries about long distance of ride.
2. Good cornering. If you looking a bike for fast corner, Kawasaki Ninja 250r should be on your list. You will take corner much faster, much safe and much funner. But again to not taking it recklessly.
3. Spare parts are stock ready. You should not worry if you looking for spare parts. Quiet expensive but the quality also the best!
4. Has nice face lift. Every one knows Kawasaki Ninja. The face lift and design are awesome. If you ridding this in city center, you gonna get a lot and a lot of attentions.
5. Better sound. Well, Its two cylinders bro. You know the sound is better than Honda CBR 250, SYM T2, or others single cylinder bike.

CONS

1. The parts are so expensive. You know a cheap parts are not good. And a good parts are not cheap. SO you do the maths.
2. This bike is quit slow when it comes to convoy or long distance. But still much faster than other 250cc bikes with single cylinders.
3. This is the most expensive bike for 250cc. Even that, the quality are the best so you can use this for another 10 years!
