REVIEW Modenas Jaguh : The Malaysian First Cruiser Bike

    Hello. Here we come with another review. But this time, I review my own cousin's bike. The Modenas Jaguh. It was a Malaysian first Cruiser bike. Well, let's jump to quick spec first. He got this bike from GAKEPS.

Now we go to the pro and cons about this bike:

PROs:

1. Cheaper than other brands compared to Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki. China bike seems cheaper anyway, but you won't need that kind of bikes.
2. Original spare parts are ready stock and also, cheaper. 
3. Nice looking bike and very easy to custom. I saw some kind of Harley Davidson Malaysia made by Jaguh's riders.
4. Good fuel consumption. A 175 cc won't cost you much fuel to ride long distance or for city use.

CONs:

1. Pick up a bit slower. Acceleration rate from 1 to 10? I give 4.
2. Low market value. If your bike is stolen, the insurance will pay you very very low price. Reselling your bike won't give you much money.
3. Top speed also very week. Cannot ride more than 130 kph. You can try, but I can't get that speed.

     So, I guess that only REVIEW that I may give you. Hope can help you if you considering to purchase this kind of bike. Thanks.

(See you next ride)
