War of the brand!

All manufacturers are fighting for popularity. Everybody knows one is better than the other. Who is actually winning? It is not easy to determine. Every manufacturer has their own strategy.

Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Modenas. They are all main player in the industry in Malaysia. Kawasaki is not included because it has not been much good with small bikes. They tried some years ago, but did not get far.

From all these players, Yamaha seems to be able to influence more buyers especially from the younger generation. They have manage to conquer a bigger portion of the market. Why have they been that successful? Personally, I say, sentiment!

Honda is also doing quite well but it's market is mainly to the older generation whom has been praising Honda quality and durability.

Modenas and Suzuki are not far behind, Modenas is more popular to those with smaller budget while Suzuki has its loyal followers.

But recently, these major player was attacked by newer brands like Demak and SYM. They may be new to the market but they came in with a very interesting facts. They are either cheaper, more recent design and more durable.

But, which ever you choose, you won't be wrong. If you are willing to stay within their performance and ability limit, they will be worth every RM you spent!

Keep on riding............................

Suzuki ... a come back!

Yamaha is having a good time with it's new 135LC. Even the mighty Honda are not able to show it influence in the traditional Malaysian market.

Suzuki..... well they are introducing the new Shogun named Axelo. It looks like a facelift rather than a new model.

To Suzuki fans, this is a great news. To other out there, this is another option from their list.

With a very competitive price, I think Suzuki will be able to sell a fair numbers of this model.

Two model will be available. The S and the R model price at RM5,208.00 and RM5,388.00. Both are basic unit price (not including insurance and registration).

More details at Suzuki website. Even more details at the suppliers/dealers.

Keep riding everyone..............
