REVIEW Nimota Ranger X7 Off Road Design Urban Use

   Hello~~ Welcome to March! Happy Working everyone! What? Aren't you excited about Working? Hahaha. I know how you feel bro. but its okay. This is the first post for this month. And the post is about REVIEW! Its been a while since my last review.

(This is him. His name is Azhari a.k.a Midun)

       So today I'm gonna give a review for my cousin's motard bike. Which is Nimota Ranger X7! But first, do you know what is the difference between motard and scrambler? I mean both look alike right. So lets me give you a quick explanations here.

    Scrambler as we know is for off road. She has soft spring on her absorber. Means this scrambler can absorb much shock than any other bike. Most scrambler still using 2 stroke engine system. Yeah, they gonna need much power to climb hills or ride in off roads. Of course the scrambler much faster than the motard since scrambler designed to have more accelerations for them to ride in off road or hills.

(Motard. Same design as scrambler but 100% for city ride)

  That is the quick explanation for scrambler. Now what about motard? Motard is the bike that has 100% body design like scrambler, but the functions is totally for urban use. These kind of bikes are for them who loves scrambler design but wanna use it on the city road. Motard commonly used for daily ride. All motard is using 4 stroke engine system. And the speed has slower than scrambler but can beat scrambler when it comes to top speed.

   Okey. Now my cousin Motard is Nimota Ranger X7, I don't really know about X7, because since Nimota Ranger X1, there are no Nimota Ranger X2, X3, X4, X5, X6 and suddenly there is X7? That's so funny man. But what do we know about this bike?

   Nimota originally from China but Nimota Ranger X7 is totally built in Malaysia. The main factory are here so don't even worry about spare parts. Nimota Ranger X7 is one from four main Motards that produced by Nimota.

   Houw about the spec? Well until today there is no full specifications given by the internet. Even the official website of Nimota doesn't have the spec. But they give us the quick speck. So here some I share to you. The Nimota Ranger X7 is using 4 stroke engine. The displacement is 150 cc, and using air cooling system.But the fork are upside down. Means totally different from some others bike. Dry weight is 130 kg.

     I have been riding this bike for few hours. There is a night where we even change each other bike for a moment, to test the bike. So here are my review about Nimota Ranger X 7

PRO

1. Good height
           This bike is awesome for tall guy, like me and him. This heightness also good for off road surfaces. 
2. Fuel Save
          Ya, this 150 cc sure not consume too much fuel. The 12 litters tank can hold up to a week if you use this bike everyday. A full tank can go to 250-300 km. I know this via the trip meter.
3. Low Maintenance
           Of course, this motard cost you less money on spare parts also the maintenance. For example, I saw on their official website, the cost for head lamp only RM 58, where other brank like Kawasaki could cost you RM 700 to RM 1200. Could be more! So you lucky to have this bike if you looking for easy maintain bike.

CONS

1. Not for extreme off road use.
      As you know there are difference between motard and scrambler. This bike even has off road bike design but its always for urban use. The tyre are not for off road. The suspension are not for off road use and most of all, the engine system are really not for off road. Taking this bike to extreme off road surface could lead you to disaster. If you wish to take off road, go to the road that has not much adventure so your bike wont damage much.
2. Slow
      Cannot blame this bike. Its not super bike. But among 150 cc of bike, this is the slowest among them. The rivals, Kawasaki KLX 150, Honda CBF 150 is much faster than this bike, in off road or city road.

       Okey, that's all my review for today. I hope this review helps you a lot if you try to deciding which bike you wanna ride. Okey, Thanks for reading. Oh yeah! Its been long time but I haven't post any girls with bike like I always do right? Hahaha. Here you go. This is all I got.

REVIEW Virago 750: The Ghost Rider

     Holaaa. how was you been? And oh, by the way, I wish all of you Happy Chinese New Year. Hahaha. Gotta lot of ang pow this year. So for the Chinese New Year, I give you my next review, the Yamaha Virago 750.

         This is Yamaha Virago 750. It also known as Yamaha XV750. This cruising bike is belongs to Mr. Hazizul Budin Al-Zaifah. He lives in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. He is the member of Kinabalu Leperianz and KZMC. He owns this Virago for a long time, so I decided to ask him sharing his experiences and knowledge about this bike and thanks to him to agree allow me to review his bike.

(This is Mr Hazizul Budin, The Ghost Rider)

    About Yamaha Virago 750, its a cruiser bike that using Yamaha V-Twin engine system. This bike's production is from 1981 before ended at 1998. This Virago 750 is one of Yamaha Crusier bike. From the internet all they said that Virago 750 can easily reach 110 mph, or 180 kph. The Yamaha Virago is the  first  Yamaha Cruiser with V-Twin system and share the body frame and most of her component parts with bigger Yamaha Virago, which one of its is Yamaha XV1100. Here some quick spec about Yamaha Virago 750.

(And this is the first chassis of Yamaha Virago when its first introduced.)

      About the review, this pro and cons are came direct from the owner, Mr. Hazizul and me as well.Riding the bike for fisrt time is so cool. Riding its forever makes you the true ghost rider. Haha! So he the pro and cons about Yamaha Virago 750.

PRO

1. ACCELERATION
      This Virago has good torque. Your hand must be fit to handle the Yamaha Virago. Acceleration is quite good. You can feel the vibrations that come from the engine.
      During convoy and riding long distant, Yamaha Virago has no problem keeping along others Four-Inline Super Bike.
      The V-Twin Engine System gives more power, since the power delivery are separated for every Piston Block. This much different than 4-inline superbike engine where they are sharing four pistons in one block.
   
2. COMFORTABLE
         What can I say, all cruiser are comfortable for long distance. They are designed for that anyway. But the Yamaha Virago 750 good for both relaxed ride or fast ride.
   
3. GOOD CONTROL
          Yamaha Virago has good weight to keep this cruiser stable and sticks on the road, either while taking cornering or closing the top speed.

CONS

1. OLD DESIGN
        Yeah. Even the owner said this. The Yamaha Virago's design is too old from its time. Even the production is from 1981 until 1998, the Virago 750 still using the 70's cruiser motorcycle's design.
   
2. NOT MUCH TO CUSTOMIZE
        The handle are too small makes the owner having hard time to upgrade it to higher handle. Changing to higher handle makes it less durability. If you still wish to change to higher handle, you gonna need to change a lot of parts. You have to change the stater bowl switch,signal lamp, brake pump and clutch lever to bigger. Its gonna cost you some money here.

     That's all about the review. To me, this Yamaha Virago has her own legendary. Everyone knows Yamaha Virago. To the owner, Hazizul, VIrago is like his lifetime partner. He even share his experiences to us with his Virago 750.

(You can say this Virago has round whole Sabah)

(Guess what, Yamaha Virago also can perform sharp corner. We call it here is 'meleper')

       So that's all for today. Again big thanks to brother Hazizul for allow me to review his Yamaha Virago. Until we meet again, have a nice day~

WAIT!  What? No... No... There is no hot girls with bike today. Hahahaha.

And this review also came from his experience with his own Kawasaki Ninja 250r.

    Before we begins, here a little bit information about Kawasaki Ninja 250r. First of all, we all know that this is the bike that top seller of 250cc in Malaysia, and most of another countries. Kawasaki Ninja is made in Japan but the factory are based on Indonesia and Thailand. There is no factory in Malaysia but we do have a lot of Kawasaki Service Center. 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

     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!
