Naza N5R Special Edition Review

    Launched last year, Naza N5R shows great sales of their recent breed, the Naza N5R. N5R and N5R SE considered cheapest full fairing bike for 2016. And today, a review from direct owner, MR. Naqip Ahmad , about his Naza N5R SE, the bike that he just own for few months.


      Based on his own review, he says that this is a bike can suitable for daily use, as it has better fuel consumption and easy to maintain.  But like previous version of Naza, this bike also encounters few sensor problems.
         


         Size of this bike is quite small makes her suitable for petite rider. The black matte stripe red makes her looks more sporty and the dual headlamp makes her looks like classy superbike. The top he can get while riding this is 155 kph.

CON:

  3. He encounters problem switching to N gear. Have to shut down the engine just to free gear. (Solved: Adjusting cable clutch will do)
  4. Can feel vibration while reaching top speed.
  5. Rear signal lamp already has moist.
  6. Brake light won't activate if you hit the brake on foot pedal.
  7. Another problems he encountered recently: When you stopped in first gear,  you have to hold the brake as well even when you are pulling the clutch, otherwise bike will move like the throttle twisted.

Lady's Biker Journal: Z250SL



          A lady rider’s impressions of the newly launched Kawasaki Z250SL entry-level naked bike. Having less than a year of riding experience behind me, the Kawasaki Z250SL was an apt ride.Well suited to beginners, the bike would fit a petite rider like a glove.

Read: Kawasaki Z250SL
Read: 2015 Top 6 Malaysian Beginner Bike 

             With its ingenuous design, the Kawasaki Z250SL was built with the fairer sex in mind: petite, curvaceous yet compact enough that from a distance, it looks as well-stocked as a full-fledged big bike. Despite its genteel appearance, it rides just as fiercely as the toughest looking bike in its league.
Although, one of my few qualms with the bike was I felt it was built too slim for its overall height. From a lady’s perspective, this seemed rather like a lady running in high heels – albeit wickedly fast and nimble!

           And, this slight feel of inadequacy only kicked in when I rode the Kawasaki Z250SL on the highway, between 90 – 100km/h. It dashes very well around tight corners and the city but the fact that it is a smaller bike only sinks in when one takes it sprinting down the wide open road.
A seasoned rider would not mind as much, but the Kawasaki Z250SL’s lack of a gear indicator thwarted my journey quite a bit until I figured out the feel and acoustics of the engine.



           Speaking of engines, I’m no expert, but rest assured that the 250cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine kicks in enough fervour. Whether it is to overtake, or to open up that throttle down the highway, it does the job rather well.
          Although this Kawasaki ‘chick ride’, as I like to call it, is not exactly the number one contender for the meanest and most powerful ride out there, it does make for a fun ride around the city, especially when one is met up with the challenge of heavy city traffic: turning corners is a actually breeze with this bike.

          Furthermore, the engine responds so well that gear shifting is smooth, which would definitely help with new riders. Additionally, the Kawasaki Z250SL’s safety and comfort offered are unbeatable: another added bonus for new riders.

            For those thinking of getting their first bike, the Kawasaki Z250SL is highly recommended. Not only is it tremendously easy to handle, but nothing beats the feeling of learning the basic skills of riding with a machine that is very well put together.


         Kawasaki Z250SL carries a sticker price of RM15,739. Said price includes Kawasaki Malaysia’s offer of a two-year or 20,000km warranty (whichever comes first).

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.

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!

REVIEW Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunderace- LEGENDARY


   Legendary. This is a fine tagline for this Yamaha YZF 1000 Thunder Ace. The owner of this bike is Uncle Bob, and thanks to him, I allowed to do review for this bike. Yamaha YZF Thunder Ace 1000 is a previous version of Yamaha YZF R1. Before there is R1 hits the street, it was Thunder Ace. Thunder Ace last production was at 2001, and that is the first time, Yamaha R1 was introduced.


       This is where my review starts. I am at Kudat Federal Road, located 200 km from Kota Kinabalu. This road has really long line, enable me to ride this bike to her maximum speed. The first rev, I can see the acceleration is quite good. In fact, this bike can go much faster than Ducati 1199 Panigale. 



      And then when top speed was fine to, except this bike only has 5 gears. FIVE! Its looks like this bike can go more speed if it has 6th gear. But beside from that, its all good. The body kit can give you more aerodynamic while you riding closer to top speed. The wind shield is good enough to to give more wind resistant. 


OVERALL REVIEW
  1. Top Speed    
               Top speed was a bit down. Its not that the top speed is lame, but since its just has  gear transmission, so the top speed won't be enough to me.
  2. Acceleration
               Good. Real good. A 1000 cc of bike that can reach 100 kph, just 3.3 seconds.
     
  3. Quality          
              Good Yupz, old bike has best quality. The fairing material, the engine  components, everything is at the fine quality. Trust me.
  4. Price              
         Best. Its just like too little money for too much bike. With spending around Rm 10,000.000 ++, you can get this bike for you.
  5. Maintenance
             Good, Well, you know the risk of purchasing classic bikes right. Always has some risk there. No matter how good the condition when you purchase it, the problem always comes later. But since its using carb, I guess its easier for you to maintain it.



   So remember. Some of older bikes are usually more powerful than modern one. Since they are using carb, which is much faster than using EFI, and the engine setting was very simple for you to tune it. But, with this limited kind of bike, you always know the spare parts are usually not ready stock, especially the engine compartments.
    But far from that, these old bikes like Yamaha Thunder Ace 1000, are fun to ride. With long lines or relaxing ride, the are look beautiful. Even though Yamaha Thunder Ace is not well-known and famous like Yamaha YZF R1, but this bike still has her own legendary to tell those young riders!



See you next ride~

         No doubt, this is the best 2 cylinders sound ever. It has 3 cylinders sound. And with right exhaust, this bike can be same as 4 inline (Except not loud as 4 inline).
  2. RELIABLE BRAND
        This Benelli is the oldest motorcycle company in Italy. Even thought the company is own by  China firm, but the productions and materials are came all the way from Italy.
         Also, this Benelli has good review too. Even from Awie said this bike is quite reliable to riders.
     
  3. PRICE
        This is the part that I love most. RM 18,800.00, this bike is way cheaper than  Kawasaki Z250. Where else you can get 300 cc of of bike with this price?
  4. BOTH CITY AND LONG RIDE
        Built to handle high temp, this bike is suitable for long distant ride, also a city cruising. So, it doesn't matter if you wanted for a weedays ride, or a weekend ride, this bike will do for you.



CONS
  1. SPARE PARTS
         Well, this is the worst part when you need and ASAP parts when your bike in trouble. Not much spare parts here in Malaysia. Even the air filter and oil filter can be use Kawasaki's, but some major parts like engine or electronic stuff require you to order it. You won't get it easily from store, or dealler.
  2. NO GEAR INDICATOR
        This is not a porblem espacially for most experienced riders. But this is 300 cc bike. It means, more newbie beginner riders are using this than the expereinced one. So the gear indicator are might be important to them. Even myself prefer a bike that has gear indicator.
  3. NO ABS
         For most cases, ABS does save lives! ABS makes you able to control your bike when you hit brake hard. Too bad this bike is not featuring ABS. SO to stay safe, don't ride faster than you can stop.
