KTM Duke 690 Track

 

Berdasarkan kejayaan KTM 2012 Junior European Cup (EJC) KTM telah melancarkan KTM 690 Duke Track. Tidak akan di jual untuk kegunaan harian, ia diledakkan dengan pengurangan berat kering sebanyak 10 kilo berbanding versi terdahulu dan mampu menjanakan extra 5hp bagi sebuah bike yang menggunakan single silinder,ia merupakan peningkatan yang cukup mendadak . Dilengkapi Power Parts by KTM dan disertakan full titanium Akrapovic pasti menarik perhatian peminat KTM 690 Duke versi track ini. 

Bike ini menggunakan 'slim chassis and lightweight subframe'  dan tidak mengunakan sistem ABS dan digantikan bersama 'four-pad radial Brembo caliper and master cylinder ' untuk mendapatkan lebih cengkaman ketika berada di atas track .

Personally, aku tak rasa pun bike ni akan masuk pasaran Malaysia due to its limitation of production .Just wait and see whether ada permintaan dan minat KTM Malaysia untuk mengimport bike ni.Tambah-tambah pakai atas track je naked bike macam ni,lagi lah .

Yamaha XJ6 Malaysia (CKD) Introduction

Hola !

Today nak bercerita psl latest Yamaha XJ6 yang sekarang semakin medapat tempat di kalangan peminat motosikal berkuasa tinggi di Malaysia ni. Motor ni boleh dikatakan rival untuk Kawasaki ER6 lah sbb berada dlm kategori yg hampir sama , middle sport naked bike dan kedua-dua nya telah di CKD kan utk market Malaysia ni. Berbeza dengan strategi Kawasaki yg mengeluarkan both naked dan fairing version tetapi utk XJ6 ni Hong Leong sebagai joint venturer dlm Hong Leong Yamaha hanya mengeluarkan version with fairing iaitu XJ6 Diversion . Yang aku tahu, rata-rata peminat XJ6 ni prefer version naked , nampak lebih jantan katanya . Aku pun berpendapat sedemikian sebenarnya , and based on local XJ6 forum ada yang sanggup nak turun ke Singapore semata-mata nak convertkan Diversion (Half Fairing) mereka kepada Naked version .Woaahhhhh! Semangat! XJ6 ni didatangkan dengan enjin berkuasa 76 kuasa kuda yang mengunakan inline 4 sebagai enjin nya. Kalau nak di-ikutkan berdasarkan enjin type , mmg merdu lah bunyi ekzos yang boleh dipadankan dengan motor ni , untungla dapat merasa inline 4 pada harga yang sangat berpatutan dan ia merupakan 600cc bikes . Kalau dipadankan dengan aftermarket exhaust macam Akrapovic , Leo Vince , Arrow , dan lain-lain lagi mesti best bunyinya tapi sayang pula boleh void warrantynya . Motor ni juga nampak sesuai untuk dipadankan dengan tong kiri kanan , campur bracket and tong jenama Givi ada lah dalam RM3,600++ . Boleh buat touring naik Siam as trending bikers Malaysia masa kini .

Bike ni boleh dimiliki pada harga RM42,000 ++ on the road . Depends pada dealer lah , ada yang dpt package macam-macam . Tepuk dada , tanya selera but personally ini plg termurah dah utk inline 4 kat Malaysia ni . Ini saja yang mampu aku nukilkan untuk hari ni , mood pon tarak . 

What does your bike say about you?

Fun post .

MotoGP Sepang Test, Malaysia Testing Results - 01/03/12

 Sources : MotoGP

Semalam marks the end of the 3rd Session MotoGP Sepang . As the 1st winter test, take place last month , Repsol Honda mendominasi the fastest lap in Sepang with their rider , Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa eventhough Pedrosa unable to ride on the 2nd day of the Pre-test.  Ternyata jentera Repsol Honda mendominasi catatan masa terbaik untuk pre-test kali ini despite the poor and bad weather on Tuesday and Wednesday . The most interesting part to get to know is 1000cc bikes is quite hard to control , it is like a beast on the track . Even though we may see it as super power machines on track but it is not that easy to tame such beast with high tork power that just easily rip off and shred the tires  quickly on the track as what Jorge Lorenzo said . So here is the yesterday result for your reference . Personal Analysis may come in later .

Pos Rider Team Fastest lap Prev. Gap Lead. Gap Laps 1 Casey Stoner Repsol Honda Team 2:00.473 - - 34 2 Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda Team 2:00.648 +0.175 +0.175 40 3 Andrea Dovizioso Monster Yamaha Tech 3 2:00.802 +0.154 +0.329 54 4 Jorge Lorenzo Yamaha Factory Racing 2:00.877 +0.075 +0.404 51 5 Cal Crutchlow Monster Yamaha Tech 3 2:00.986 +0.109 +0.513 54 6 Hector Barbera Pramac Racing Team 2:01.231 +0.245 +0.758 66 7 Alvaro Bautista San Carlo Honda Gresini 2:01.275 +0.044 +0.802 51 8 Ben Spies Yamaha Factory Racing 2:01.432 +0.157 +0.959 28 9 Stefan Bradl LCR Honda 2:01.492 +0.060 +1.019 54 10 Valentino Rossi Ducati Team 2:01.550 +0.058 +1.077 57 11 Nicky Hayden Ducati Team 2:01.609 +0.059 +1.136 44 12 Franco Battaini Cardion AB Motoracing 2:03.490 +1.881 +3.017 39 13 Colin Edwards NGM Mobile Forward Racing 2:03.681 +0.191 +3.208 43 14 Yonny Hernandez Avintia Racing 2:06.632 +2.951 +6.159 48 15 Ivan Silva Avintia Racing 2:06.785 +0.153 +6.312 53
