Yamaha Nouvo LC

Is has been quite a while since it's launching. But surprisingly, not many on the road. Why?

I say it is expensive. Almost 7k. To expensive compare to other models even compare to older Nouvo S or Ego. Worst if you compare them to Modenas Elite and Passion or Suzuki Step.

Being a scooter, the target audience are commuters. Commuting from office to home. But having a liquid cooled engine, it should also impressed long distance rider. But can it perform on long journey?

I think this is where Nouvo LC is  very week. Fuel tanks is too small and top speed is just insufficient for long distance riding. Just imagine a 3.8 liters fuel tank which require fill up at every 120km and a top speed just around 110km/h. Surely you can't push it 100% all the time.

So, we are talking about a crusing speed of about 80-90km per hour on a long jurney and a lot of worrying about drying the tank in the middle of no where on the highway.

BKZ Motorcyckes

Feel like wondering around today, so I went to one of the BKZ outlet. I was greeted by one of their staff.

There are two new models in their show room. The BKZ TT160 and a RR110.

TT160 is a scrambler. This model is based on the Hyosung off road bike. Selling at around RM7-8000. I was told that it was the on and only scrambler in the Malaysian market now.


The RR110 is a moped aka kapcai. 110cc base on Honda Class 1. Only that it is selling at a much lower price. OTR RM3500 cash. Very cheap 110cc moped. Could it be as durable as the Honda counterpart. May be an owner of this mechine can give a comment.

Wave 125X and Kriss 120

It has been very long since I last update this blog. Now, more small bikes in the market. Latest by Honda is Wave 125X. It is beautiful. You should have a look at it.

The Kriss 120 is another hot item. Many said it has a very powerfull acceleration. Looks like the old Kriss but with new paint design and stickers.

Elegan of Modenas also come out with new paint works. But most interesting is the new speedo meter and RPM meter.
