A Short Test Ride - GT128

I like the exhaust sound, very distinctive. The long stroke made the sound unique.

It was a very short test ride. Around 10km around Precinct 14 and 15 of Putrajaya. After 1st gear engaged, I gave it some throttle. Surprisingly, it was rather slow in acceleration. I prefer the Wave 125 launching. More energetic.

After reaching 100km/h, it feels better. But the small original tires were not very suitable for the rather 'big' kapcai. When you are in a corner, it feels like swaying to much. I think, if we fit a bigger rear tires, it could improve.

The engine was rather noisy. But I can live with it. 

What impressed me was the design. Personally I say it is perfect. I like it very much.
