MZ 1000st Motorcycle Handover At The Prime Minister Office
On 17th May 2005, MZ Germany presented a sample of the MZ 1000ST Police Bike to the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi during his visit to Germany.
Today, MZ completed the handover at the Prime Minister Office, Putra Perdana, witnessed by Dato’ Mohamed Thajudeen, Chief Private Secretary to the Prime Minister and Dato’ Ahmad Nazri, Assistant Chief Private Secretary to the PM.
The 1000 superbike was handed over personally by MZ Motorrad Managing Director, Mr. Quah T K. Also present during the ceremony was MZ General Manager, Mr. Phua S Y.
The last 40 km journey ride from MZ Motorrad factory in Shah Alam to Putrajaya was quite a breath taking experience. Handled by an experienced superbike rider, MZ Production Manager, Mohamad Huzaini revved the bike at permitted speed of 110kph to reach the destination in just over 15 minutes. The bike allows both top speeds of up to 230 kph for pursuit as well as walking speed for motorcades and patrols.
The MZ 1000ST Police Bike is based on the recently launched MZ 1000 ST SuperTraveller and is powered by the MZ 1000-R2 in-line 2-cylinder engine that is optimum for police use. The comfortable upright seating position enables the rider to keep full view of the surrounding area as well as to exude a certain authority. With a storage system that can carry a payload of 25 kg, the bike offers plenty of space for police equipment and can be customized to the specific need of the police. In addition, the bike is fitted with crash bars, sirens and blue flash lights.
MZ will be very pleased and honoured to be a supplier to the Malaysian police and hopes that the MZ 1000 ST will be positively evaluated by the Malaysian Police and that it would meet their requirements. The MZ 1000ST Police Bike will be used during this year’s Merdeka celebration motorcade for Federal Territory region.
