2017 Ducati Multistrada 950 (RM85,900)


   

        July. A month for Ducati releasing her 2017 bikes. Like it said on 24-28 March at One Utama shopping mall, Ducati will be lunching Multisrada (950cc),M and Monster (787cc). Previously. the Multistrada is the latest addition to Ducati’s dual-purpose sport-touring range, the Multistrada 1200, priced from RM114,999.



         Launched at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy, in 2016, the Multistrada 950 carries a 937 cc Testastretta 11, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine that produces 113 hp at 9,000 rpm and 96.2 Nm of torque at 7,750 rpm. Following the design of the Multistrada 1200 closely, the Multistrada 950 is lighter than its big sister at 229 kg compared to 239 kg.



        It also comes with an 840 mm seat height, with 820 and 860 mm seats available as options, compared to the standard 825 to 845 mm adjustable unit on the 1200. Standard on the 950 is power and riding modes, and the Ducati Safety Pack which provides ABS and traction control.


      Similar to the Multistrada 1200, the Multistrada 950 gets a KYB 48 mm fully adjustable upside-down fork in front, and a fully adjustable Sachs monoshock unit at the back with remote spring preload adjustment. Omitted from the 950 is cornering ABS, with braking done with a pair of 320 mm semi-floating discs in front clamped by Brembo Monobloc four-piston callipers and a single 265 mm disc at the back.


             Rolling on a 19-inch hoop in front, and a 17-incher in the rear, the Multistrada 950 is designed with long-range touring in mind. This is borne out by the 20-litre fuel tank, and 170 mm of suspension travel with a ground clearance of 183.5 mm.

 
         Additionally, the 2017 Ducati Monster 797, a return to the Monster’s roots of an air-cooled, V-twin hooligan street bike, will be on display at the Ducati Malaysia showroom at Naza World Automall in Petaling Jaya. The Monster 797 is priced between RM55,900 for the red and black colour schemes, while the white version will set you back RM56,900.


       All prices for the 2017 Ducati Multistrada 950 and Ducati Monster 797 include GST, but exclude registration, insurance and road tax. The Ducati Smart Service two-year parts service and lubricants package is included in the purchase price of every 2017 model Ducati.

     It's been April f 2017, but there are multiple of Motorcycle Launching around the country. But is there is a bike for you? It's time to find out. Check out our Top 5 Malaysia new superbike that introduce in 2017!

  1. Kawasaki Versys X-250

        During the 2017 Kawasaki Road Safety Campaign launch at the Sungai Besi toll plaza today, it was strongly hinted that the 2017 Kawasaki Versys X 250 would be launched in Malaysia by the end of this month. The quarter-litre class dual-purpose tourer is expected to be in Kawasaki dealer showrooms by March or April, pending Customs clearance.

         No details were forthcoming about likely pricing for the Versys-X 250, which is expected to open a new segment for Kawasaki in the road-going 250 cc arena. Quietly launched in November last year, the Versys-X 250 carries a 249 cc liquid-cooled parallel twin with DOHC and eight-valves.

         Said to be based on the engine from the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, it is surmised that the Versys-X 250’s engine will produce somewhere about 29.9 hp at 10,500 rpm and 21.7 Nm torque at 10,000 rpm. Driving a six-speed gearbox, the Versys-X uses EFI, which feeds twin-throttle bodies equipped with dual throttle valves.

         Fuel is carried in a 17-litre tank, and braking is with single discs, 290 mm front and 220 mm rear, clamped by Nissin calipers. A 41 mm telescopic fork props up the front 19-inch wheel, with Kawasaki’s Uni-Trak single gas-charged absorber at the 17-inch rear.

        There are two versions of the Versys-X 250 – City and Tourer. The Tourer comes with a brush guard, twin auxiliary driving lights, hand guards and rear panniers, while the City version does without.

        No official word on pricing at the moment, but in Indonesia, the 2017 Kawasaki Versys-X 250 retails for 61,900,000 rupiah (RM20,756) for the City and 72,700,000 rupiah (RM24,377) for the Tourer. Two colour options are shown on Kawasaki’s Indonesian website for the Versys-X 250 – Candy Lime Green/Metallic Graphite Gray and Candy Burnt Orange/Metallic Graphite Gray for the Tourer, while the City gets Candy Lime Green/Metallic Graphite Gray and Metallic Graphite Gray/Flat Ebony.

    Price? The 2017 Kawasaki Z650 naked sportsbike retails for RM35,609. Quite a bit more expensive than ER6N but she sure gives you more passion while riding..

  3. Kawasaki Ninja 650R


             Hot on the heels of the price announcement for the 2017 Kawasaki Z650 ABS is the Malaysia price for the full-fairing Ninja 650 ABS, at RM37,189 including GST. Also released is the price for the Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS Special Edition, which retails for RM38,189, including GST.

          Carrying the same 649 cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin that puts out 67.3 hp at 8,000 rpm and 65.7 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm as the Z650, the Ninja 650 carries Kawasaki’s middleweight supersports mantle, along with an illustrious model name that first appeared back in 1983, with the GPz900R.

          Like its sibling, Bosch 9.1M ABS is now standard for this pair of Kawasaki middle-weights, a welcome inclusion to the spec-sheet, as is an assist and slipper clutch. Both machines also have a low seat height of 790 mm, making them easy to ride and accessible for all rider types.

          Fuel for the Ninja 650 is carried in a 15-litre tank, and wet weight is claimed to be 193 kg. A new trellis frame ties everything together, and wheelbase is stated as 1,410 mm, which should make handling sporty.

           The Special Edition version of the 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650 ABS- which goes for RM1,000 more – comes with a single-seat cover, smoked windshield, radiator cover and rim pin striping. Colour options for the Ninja 650 are Candy Burnt Orange for the base model, while the Special Edition comes in Kawasaki Green.

            Both the 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650 and the Z650 – both of which are only available with ABS – will be in GT World Ninja, Ninja Shops and Kawasaki authorised premium dealers by March 8.

  4. Kawasaki Z900



           The official Malaysian price for the 2017 Kawasaki Z900 ABS has been released, and it has been set at RM49,158, including GST. Joining the Z900 ABS is the 2017 Kawasaki Z900 ABS Special Edition, which goes for RM50,959, including GST.

              As the replacement for the Kawasaki Z800, the Z900 ABS is an all-new machine, which shares little with its predecessor except for general styling. The Z900 carries a 948 cc liquid-cooled, inline-four engine that puts out 124 hp at 9,500 rpm 98.6 Nm of torque at 7,700 rpm – 13 more hp than the Z800.

             Adding to the improvements made to the previous generation Z800, the Z900 now comes standard with a slipper clutch that stops wheel hop and chatter during hard downshifts. The instrument panel is now an LCD screen that shows the three ride modes, along with a shift-light incorporated into the tachometer.

          The base model of the Z900 comes in Grey, while the Special Edition is available in Blue. The Special Edition Z900 ABS comes equipped with a single seat cover, meter cover, DC outlet, radiator screen, sliders, engine covers, front-axle sliders and special graphics.

           Also included in the special edition version are OEM Kawasaki tank pad and knee pads. The 2017 Kawasaki Z900 ABS will be available at GT World Ninja, Ninja Shops and Kawasaki authorized premium dealers on April 8.

  5. Yamaha R25A (with ABS)
       In 2017, Yamaha recently introduced the Yamaha R25 with ABS, also known as Yamaha R25A in Indonesia. The price has not yet stated, but the non-ABS Yamaha R25 still Rm19,783 OTR. Almost same spec with non ABS R25, but with RM1-2K, you will get extra accessories and ABS. The color available for R25 ABS in Malaysia are just Black Matte and Blue Silver, as they discontinue the Red White color in 2016.


TRIVIA
  1. Even with Kawasaki Ninja 650R and Kawasaki Z650 launched, there is no official words that Kawasaki will discontinue selling Kawasaki Er6F and ER6N. 
  2. Yamaha R25 has introduced ABS version in 2016, only available in Malaysia at 2017.
  3. Kawasaki Z900 is almost same price with Kawasaki Z800. Also 25 kg lighter than Z800. Think twice before you purchase any.
  4. Kawasaki Versys X-250 is the smallest touring bike from Kawasaki. It's also the smallest bike in it's class that include side boxes.
  5. Kawasaki Ninja 650R has same facelift as Kawasaki 250R and 300R. Unlike Kawasaki Z650 that has her own facelift.

2017 Honda CBR 250RR




Overview
Honda has come up with its lightweight, highly efficient, twin cylinder bike named as 'CBR250RR'. The ‘Light Weight Super Sport Concept’ (CBR250RR) was unveiled earlier at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The production model has now been unveiled in Indonesia on July 25. Although still no news about launching in Malaysia, but if launched it is expected to sweep away its rivals with its high performance figures, design and much more. The key rivals of CBR250RR in Malaysia would be Kawasaki Ninja 250RR and Yamaha R25.


Design and Style
It has Robocop's superbike looks to me. Well, since the 250RR comes from the CBR series, so undoubtedly it is going to have a head turning design. It features some of the sharpest curves for cheating the wind over its passage.. On the exterior, the bike features matte-black-based low-contrast graphics which adds more to its beauty of the beast.

The 2017 Honda CBR250RR is based on a newly developed steel truss frame, with aluminium type swing arm. The right-side swing arm has been shaped to reduce exhaust pipe extrusion which makes the bike look slimmer while retaining the bank angle. The CBR250RR has got a similar front face as that of the CBR series. To add on its beauty, the bike has dual-LED headlights, sharp wedge-shape, long nose, acute tail, sharp body lines, sculpted fuel tank and chiselled tail section. It features conventional single side exhaust muffler which is supposed to be a 2-1-2 system that is compatible with the overall bike design.





Dimensions and Fuel Capacity
Honda CBR250RR is a big step by the Honda in terms of design and styling. The bike has got an overall length of 2060 mm, overall width of 724 mm and overall height of 1098 mm. The seat height is 790 mm and the wheelbase is 1389 mm. The bike has got a 145 mm ground clearance. The fuel tank capacity of the bike is 14.5 L with 1.9 L oil tank capacity.


Engine and Gearbox
Honda CBR250RR will get its power from the twin cylinder, 249.7 cc, 4-stroke, 8-valve, liquid cooled engine which generates 38.2 Bhp @ 12,500 rpm of maximum power and 23.3 NM @ 11,000 rpm of maximum torque. Has 6 gears of transmission,with multiple wet clutch with coil spring, she is clearly a rival for Ninja 250rr and R25.



Others
CBR250RR has ABS on her braking system.The braking jobs are performed by 310 mm front and 240 mm rear disc brakes. Could feel safer that way. This bike expected to reach 180 kph easily. Don't worry. This is a fast bike for 250cc. 

CBR250RR has got a fully digital instrument console which includes digital speedometer, trip meter, tachometer, odometer, clock and fuel gauge. The instrument panel also includes ABS light, gear indicator, service reminder, low oil indicator, low battery indicator and rev limiter indicator.

Many people said this Skyline is a duplicate from a combination Kawasaki Z800 and Ducati Paniegale, but now we know there is originality on this Skyline. People don't call it Kawasaki anymore. They know that this is Skyline.More people know about this brand.

    To me,this is one of the best bike for starter. You can use it for both weekend ride or daily use. The maintenance are goo, fuel consumption not good as Yamaha Fz 150 / M-Slaz 150.
