With the recent launch of the 2024 Yamaha PG-1 in Malaysia, priced at RM6,998 recommended retail, distributor Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) has issued a delivery update. Stocks of the PG-1 is expected in HLYM authorised dealer showrooms at the end of September 2024.
Dubbed an “Explorer Bike” bike by Yamaha, the PG-1 underbone, or kapchai, motorcycle features off-road styling. There are two colour options available – Casual Beige and Forest Green.
Power for the PG-1 comes from a 115 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled mill, fed by EFI. Mated to a four-speed centrifugal clutch gearbox, the PG-1 gets 9.0 PS at 7,000 rpm with 9.5 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm which are typical numbers for this class of motorcycle.
Fitted with 16-inch wheels front and rear, the PG-1 gets 90/100 tyres. Braking is done with a single hydraulic disc in front and mechanical drum brake at the back, while ABS is omitted.
Suspension uses telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers in the rear. Weight for the PG-1 is listed at 107 kg, with 5.1-liters of fuel in the tank while seat height is set at 780 mm.
For those wanting to customise their PG-1, there are two official optional accessory packages available from HLYM. These are the Givi Explorer luggage pack with bracket and rack, priced at RM700, and the Yamaha Expedition pack with front and rear luggage carriers, sub frame bracket, hand and leg guards, with a RM1,200 price tag.
too expensive for 115cc with no bells and whistles.
Indeed. & This is just recommended retails.
Shops gonna add another thousand on top of that
Mana Yamaha XSR150 or XSR250?
price point, I think modenas or ex5 still better… the design special, but not my cup of tea (ugly IMO)
weird comment considering the target market is for those gonna use this off road or trails just like why people buy the Aveta Ranger Max.
End up almost RM10k when u buy at the dealers.
Definitely 9k-10k on showroom. Boleh tukar nama Yamaha ke Yamahal
one penang star dealer selling 8K otr with insurance
tempting!… for a rider with limited time on the road and without experience with manual clutch, this seems a good option. at 115cc maybe kinda small but since i m not into high speed ride, say 60-80kmh perhaps, this should do it… for fun ride on weekends…
people talking about “baik beli” other model , you are literally not the target market just like the Aveta Ranger is also not for the common road users
