the prices were announced already... it is in today's berita harian auto section. darn, somebody pinched the company paper! will post the prices once i find the papers. but there are 2 variants. one is standard while the other is with ABS. both rather affordable for a 250cc single cylinder bike.
better still, i got the link for the story!

it costs RM18,799 and the ABS model retailing for an extra RM3,000

ok...yesterday just tested the bike at sepang circuit....
overall look...more like a touring bike...
size...looks big...but when u were sitting on it then u'll realize that it was a bit small but doesn't hurt comfort ergonomic seating position in fact the seating position was very nice...seat also really comfy...unlike some other 250cc bike which has hard seat and "long arm man" handle reach...
power wise.....delivery was smooth....not that racy feeling even u got 23hp on tap....the most amazing was the torque....coming out of Turn4 of SIC going uphill on 4th gear was easy....topped on mainstraight 155km/h++ (if on open road can do more).....plenty of torque from 3000rpm until the needle past 9500rpm before the rev limiter do its job at 10500rpm....gear evenly spreaded to suits touring/long journey....unlike its smaller sibling cbr150 which has racy effect close ratio gearbox which can be quite tiring on long journey...
handling...the factory fitted IRC tyre was exactly the same tyre available on ninja250...since this bike was merely 165kg...it was very nimble...really stable on cornering....flipping the bike at Turn1+Turn2 of SIC somehow as easy as riding yamaha rxz......front fork...a bit firm...but not as hard brick...still good for comfort....rear monoshock was decent....expect to be a bit on softer side when rider's weights more than 80kilos.....
braking....this was the best part...awesome....especially on ABS version....coming downhill of Turn6+Turn7 of SIC north track and leaning with hard braking using REAR BRAKE only did nothing to unsettle the bike....instead the abs work perfectly with maximum braking capability....and left me without any skids mark as i was intended to create some....expect braking stability in wet weather condition which is commonly haunting riders in wet or slippery condition...
about meter...analog rpm counter with digital speedo was easy to read...along with digital temp. meter....and quite refreshing apart from old trusworthy full analog previously on its smaller sibling cbr150r....
on overall appearance...this can be a bit hard to decide..its up to a person wheter to live it or hate it....but the design really stands up from the rest.....
in my opinion.this bike was designed for daily use in mind...but once in a while if the rider decide to do some corner attack,nothing comes better than this (in 250cc and below category)...with fuel injection translates to smooth power delivery with fuel saving...this bike would be a perfect daily workhorse.....and even better for beginner..as this bike was easy to handle and lightweight....especially for those who was looking for something better than kapcai's and without 2t smokes lurking around even after the engine switched off....

Can't wait to see the bike in flesh. How come there's no test bike at the bike shops? Even if you're getting yourself a Saga FL, you still need to test drive it right? Should be same with the bikes and this ain't RM5k cupchai.
