Two versions of the Africa Twin will be brought into Malaysia, the base model CRF1000L and the Adventure Sports with long-range fuel tank, both of which will have the standard six-speed gearbox as well as the DCT version as an option. Tipping the scales at 232 kg, with fuel carried in a 18-litre tank in standard, the Africa Twin now comes with four ride modes and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with seven settings.

Prices are exorbitant compared to the cost of living in Malaysia and the low pay packet most Malaysians receive.
Government of Malaysia should think about dropping GST on bikes and cars. After all, we have the most expensive bike and car prices in the world without the GST implemented. Now with GST, it is even higher!
Without GST, where would you think the Gov got money to gip BR1M? Gip research grant to UiTM? ‘Borrow’ money to Proton?
As long as the current Gov is in power, price will be the same
Being a cbu unit, the exhorbitant price is not just the gst. More than that it is the excessive import duties and excise duties. No PMs have made any effort to reduce them. Prior to gst was the sst. So the choice is yours.
