• Spanco sponsors 55 bikes for Putra Heights victims

  In Bikes, Local Bike News, Local News / By Jonathan James Tan / 10 April 2025 4:05 pm / 5 comments

  

  Fleet management company Spanco has sponsored 55 Yamaha Ego Avantiz scooters for Putra Heights gas pipeline fire victims as well as road tax and insurance for the first year, reports Bernama, with transport minister Anthony Loke saying Hong Leong Yamaha Motor agreed to reduce the unit price to RM5,000 from the RM5,800 retail.

  “In the geran (Vehicle Ownership Certificate), their names are already registered as the owners. So they don’t have to pay anything,” he said, adding that the recipients were mostly residents of Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru, where many motorcycles were damaged.

  

  

  “Of course this helps them because motorcycles are not only their mode of transportation as some people also need motorcycles to earn a living. So this is another way for us to help them return to normal life as soon as possible,” he said at the recent handover ceremony held at Putra Heights LRT station.

  Besides facilitating registrations of the bikes, which all wear MADANI plates, the road transport department (JPJ) distributed free helmets to the recipients.

• 2026 BMW Motorrad R1300 R naked to debut April 10

  In Bikes, BMW Motorrad, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 4 April 2025 1:23 pm / 0 comment

  

  Set to debut April 10 is the 2026 BMW Motorrad R1300 R naked sports, or ‘roadster’ in BMW parlance. Joining the BMW Motorrad R1300 GS (priced at RM138,500 in Malaysia), the R1300 R is expected to be joined by the R1300 RS sports-tourer and R1300 RT tourer.

  Like the previous generation R1200 R and R1250 R (RM114,500 in Malaysia), the R1300 R will come with BMW Motorrad’s signature boxer-twin engine, taken off the R1300 GS. Expect power output from the air- and oil-cooled engine to be close to the adventure-tourer, with 145 hp at 7,500 rpm and 149 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.

  Also expect to see BMW Motorrad’s technical expertise applied to the R1300 R, notably Automated Shift Assistant which might be a factory-fitted option. The system allows for clutch-less operation of the gear lever, using an electro-mechanical servo operated clutch, somewhat similar to the system used on the Honda CB650.

  

  2024 BMW Motorrad R1250 R

  The teaser image shown on BMW Motorrad’s Youtube channel also shows a new LED DRL arrangement with two downward pointing elements, as opposed to the ‘X’ LED DRL arrangement on the R1300 GS. Electronically controlled semi-active suspension is likely to be standard equipment, following BMW Motorrad’s practice of reserving this for its top-of-the-line motorcycles.

  Since the new 1,300 cc boxer engine is lighter than its predecessor, the R1300 R will presumably weigh less than the 239 kg fully-fuelled weight of the R1250 R. As for pricing, the R1300 R is not expected to deviate much from the price level of the current R1250 R, give or take a few thousand Ringgit.

• 2025 Ducati Desmo450 MX is Borgo Panigale’s first motocross motorcycle, world-wide sale year-end

  In Bikes, Ducati, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 4 April 2025 12:00 pm / 0 comment

  

  A first for the Italian bike maker is the 2025 Ducati Desmo450 MX motocross motorcycle. After undergoing extensive testing in real-life competition – winning in the Italian motocross championship in the process – the Desmo450 MX will go on sale in Europe from June, then North America in July and the rest of the world.

  At the heart of the Desmo450 MX is a 449.6 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder, with Desmodromic valve actuation. Power is rated at 63.5 hp at 9,400 rpm, and maximum torque at 53.5 Nm at 7,500 rpm, with the engine revving to 11,900 rpm, a new benchmark for the category.

  70% of the mill’s maximum torque is available at 4,200 rpm, making the Desmo450 MX less demanding and tiring to ride than a traditional 450. Desmodromic valve actuation works on 40 mm intake valves and 33 mm exhaust valves, reducing the amount of energy needed for valve operation and allowing for more aggressive cam profiles.

  

  Radiators are rhomboid-shaped to give 6.5% more cooling area than traditional units, improving engine cooling while keeping the Desmo450 MX compact. This allows the rider more freedom of movement in terms of body position, aiding in bike handling.

  An aluminium perimeter frame composed of cast, forged and extruded elements cradles the engine made up from 11 segments, half the number of pieces usually required. Welding is kept to a minimum with the head stock to upper shock absorber mount beam using a single cast piece.

  The (spring, not air) fork is fully adjustable, with 49 mm inverted stems, 310 mm travel and Kashima Coating treatment on the stanchions. The shock absorber is also fully adjustable, with 301 mm of wheel travel.

  

  

  

  

  Braking is done by Brembo, with a two-piston floating caliper at the front, and a single-piston caliper at the rear. Galfer brake discs are 260 mm diameter at the front and 240 mm at the rear while tyre sizing is 21 x 1.60 inches and 19 x 2.15 inches, fitted to Takasago Excel aluminium rims.

  As can be expected, Ducati loads the Desmo450 MX with electronic riding tech, drawing on its experience in MotoGP and Superbike racing. This includes Ducati Traction Control (DTC) cuts power based on actual rear wheel slippage and inertial measurements of the vehicle dynamics while remaining dormant during situations where it is not required, such as jumps.

  

  Should the rider require full engine power regardless of traction available, the system is temporarily disabled with light pressure on the clutch lever, returning a few moments later. Traction control is set to one of four levels of intervention.

  The electronic equipment also includes Launch Control and Engine Brake Control, which, like DTC, can be configured on different levels of intervention and associated with two Riding Modes, configurable via the accessory X-Link app. Included in the riding aids is a quick shifter-equipped gearbox while engine service interval is 45 hours, as is piston replacement.

• Honda Europe offers six-year motorcycle warranty

  In Bikes, Honda Motorcycles, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 3 April 2025 5:21 pm / 0 comment

  

  Banking on its reputation for reliability, Honda Motor Europe is introducing a new six-year service-activated warranty (SAWA) programme. Effective April 2025, the warranty applies to all new motorcycles sold by Honda Motor Europe dealers, from the smallest scooter to the Honda Gold Wing GL1800 (RM212,800 in Malaysia) touring motorcycle.

  To take advantage of the six-year comprehensive warranty, customers are simply required to follow the scheduled service and maintenance plan, using authorised Honda Dealers and service parts. In doing so, the original two-year warranty is automatically extended by a further twelve month period, up to a maximum of six years.

  The warranty follows the motorcycle rather than the owner, meaning that should the motorcycle be sold on to a new owner, the warranty is transferable provided all conditions are met. The warranty is valid at over 800 dealers in 14 European countries as well as the uK.

• BMW Motorrad launches R12 G/S dual-purpose

  In Bikes, BMW Motorrad, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 28 March 2025 3:05 pm / 0 comment

  

  A throwback to the days of the first “real” dual-purpose adventure-touring motorcycle is the BMW Motorrad R12 G/S. Following on the road oriented BMW Motorrad R12 (priced at RM123,000 in Malaysia), the R12 G/S carries the Gelände/Straße (Off-road/Street) moniker first used on the legendary R80 G/S from the 1980s, not the ‘GS’ appellation currently used on the Munich firm’s adventure-touring machines.

  Indicating the true dual-purpose intentions of the R12 G/S, two variants are offered, the Standard and the Enduro Pro package. The Standard is fitted with 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel while the Enduro gets an 18-inch rear wheel.

  Riding modes are “Rain”, “Road” and “Enduro” while opting for the Enduro Pro gives an additional “Enduro Pro” riding mode. Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and engine drag torque (MSR) control is standard I the electronic riding suite, with DTC switchable for off-road duty.

  

  Selecting the Enduro package also gives the enduro footrest system with three rows of spikes for maximum boot grip in off-road riding conditions. The package also includes a 20 mm handlebar riser while there are three seat options – standard at 860 mm and the Enduro Pro with 18-inch rear wheel raises that to 875 mm, while the Rally seat option raises that by another 20 mm.

  Power for the R12 G/S comes from BMW Motorrad’s classic boxer-twin, displacing 1,170 cc. Power is rated at 109 hp at 7,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 115 Nm at 6,500 rpm with the left-hand exhaust system with high-mounted rear silencers in the classic enduro style.

  Suspension is done with fully adjustable upside-down telescopic forks at the front and Paralever swingarm with angled, also fully adjustable rear shock absorber featuring long suspension travel for riding off-road. For braking, twin 310 mm diameter discs are paired with two axial-mount two-piston floating calipers while a two-piston floating caliper and 265 mm diameter disc is used on the rear wheel, and BMW Motorrad ABS Pro is standard.

  

  In keeping with the R12 G/S’ looks, a compact LED round headlight with a diameter of five-and-three-quarter inches and LED DRL in the shape of an “X” is fitted. Complementing the headlight, a classic round instrument panel and 12 Volt power socket is fitted and a digital display is available as optional equipment.

  Other riding conveniences include keyless start while adaptive headlight, part of the Headlight Pro package, is San option. There are three colour options for the R12 G/S – Night black matt paint with black seat, Light white with red seat and Sandrover matt paint/Racing red matt paint/Mineral grey metallic matt with matching seat.

• Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia unveiled, 163 units

  In Bikes, Ducati, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 24 March 2025 5:42 pm / 0 comment

  

  A limited edition motorcycle from the boys Bologna, the Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia. Celebrating the the Azzurro livery of Italian National sports teams, the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia comes in a limited edition run of 163 units, made in the Ducati works in Borgo Panigale, Italy.

  The livery is similar to the one on the Ducati Desmosedici with which Francesco Bagnaia and the Ducati Lenovo Team triumphed at Mugello in the 2024 Italian Grand Prix. As befits a limited edition, special Panigale, this marks the first time a production motorcycle available to the public will be fitted with Brembo GP4 Sport Production calipers and 338.5 mm discs, as used on World Superbike Championship (WSBK) racing machines.

  Making the Tricolore even more unique is the provision of five-spoke carbon-fibre wheels, replacing the forged alloy units on the Panigale V4. Almost a kilogram lighter than the standard wheels, the carbon-fibre wheels reduce the moment of inertia by 12% at the front and 19% at the rear, aiding agility and handling.

  

  

  

  

  Other special equipment on the Tricolore Italia includes a dry clutch, adjustable footpegs in solid aluminium, and a GPS module. For race track use, a racing tank cap in solid aluminium, brake caliper air conveyors, an open clutch cover in carbon fibre and a license plate holder delete kit is provided.

  In addition, each Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is signed by twice MotoGP world champion Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia on the tank and will be delivered in an exclusive personalized wooden crate. A plate machined from solid aluminium with the bike name, edition number, outline of the circuit and inscription celebrating Pecco’s lap record is attached to the triple clamp.

  

  The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia also comes with a certificate of authenticity and dedicated motorcycle cover, delivered in a special customised box created to match the livery. The unit number is also shown on the aluminium badge on the ignition key.

  On top of everything else, owners have the option of acquiring a limited edition professional suit, made of fine kangaroo leather, featuring a colour scheme that matches that of the bike. The bad news is, if you want one, all 163 units of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia have been spoken for while the Ducati Paingale V4 in Malaysia is priced from RM182,900,
