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............................
