I knew Naza 650 cruiser launched few years back which didnt sell well in Malaysia. What most didnt know is that this cruiser bike is a Harley Davidson Vrod ripoff!! Of course Naza bikes are mostly from rebadge Hyosung a korean company but copypaste from suzuki motors. I can only imagine if Naza allow you to do the review, sells MALATUP! So like i said, they lost... Well their lost Paul. I knew Naza 650 cruiser launched few years back which didnt sell well in Malaysia.

WOW..NICE sound…always dream my saga will scream like that..huhuhuhu can somebody tell me what different 1000cc superbike with 1000cc viva ?? both are 1000cc but horse power too much different

————————————————————-

for the cc i think superbike could generate over 150hp at high rpm but i doubt viva engine could go more than 70hp. anyone know?

superbike engine has lighter parts compare to normal car engine.

thus, making it a 'high-rev'er compare to normal car engine.

the HP is high for but the torque is low.

low torquey engine is OK with motorbikes but not heavy cars (btw, fortwo is light). please correct me if I'm wrong.

in reality, of course la the superbike engine alone will cost bomb compare to ah beng engine mod / upgrade. :p cheers!

While ST will be migrating to ST1500 (1500cc) putting itself in front of Kawasaki GTR1400 Concours, a whole new sport tourer region. dual clutch system means producing power/speed output faster than single clutch. Hmm this is very interesting. Honda VFR 1200, dual-clutch plus vtech system. hopefully its shaft drive...pergh...we are looking at RM110K region otr.

But the viva isnt tuned for high speed, thus giving you better fuel consumption. A 1000 superbike fits its name, SUPERbike. the engine tuned so that it produces much more power and revs much harder (12000 rpm) fuel consumption quite high too. lmst:

I dont mean those small cc "Mak Rempit" (my neighbour said mom's bike) type. I am talking about higher cc bike like latest Honda Fury, Kawasaki Vulcan etc. Nowadays motorcycles are SO AWESOME especially cruiser type. Paul, can you carry article on motorcycle too?
