Better Power-Down Noise for NOW! Crack-down on Loud Exhaust in Malaysia


i-moto.my

The Special Action Unit (UTK) is a special team of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) elite that has specialized expertise as a tactical assault team. Now the motorcycle special team known as Unit Tindak Khas (UTK) or Rapid Assault Team (RAT) has received 24 units of BMW 1250GS . The German-made adventure motorcycle is the latest asset of the PDRM with the ability to coordinate operational skills. It certainly meets the criteria required by the RAT who is indeed specially trained in the tactical handling of two-wheeled vehicles in any situation.

These team members are also selected based on their abilities and skills in accordance with their assignment as a fastmoving assault team, especially in the builtup area scenario. PDRM targets the RAT as a force multiplier on existing 'special operations' capabilities to address the threat of terrorism and high-profile serious criminal activities.

T

he Harley-Davidson FXDR 114

has a massive 240mm Michelin Scorcher II. This is the biggest production size tyre you can get on a production motorcycle. Together with the largest tyre you also get a sleek style street motorcycle that pump 119 ft-lbs of torque at 3500 rpm that makes the beast just fly away when the lights turn green. Modern styling and plenty of get-upand-go acceleration will give the riders enjoyable time when ripping the pavement. This FXDR has a touch of Rizoma, and enhances the style of the H-D street cruiser. The up-to-date features such as ABS and an assist-and-slipper clutch for the six-speed transmission make the FXDR a truly unique riding experience motorcycle.

FXDR

But the FXDR 114 still doesn’t have enough cornering clearance to fun in the twisties. The front suspensions are quite stiff, so will get the occasional front lift while negotiating bumpy corners.

Only what I didn’t like is the front brakes trail braking bite, I was trail braking halfway then suddenly get a sudden bigger bite at the front, maybe to use to Brembo’s trail braking bite. Like I said it’s not perfect but the plus point here is very Rusty Rider-Friendly! Whatever you casually throw at it the S1000RR is seamless and obey your every command and sometimes the DTC will interfere with your throttle control.

For most riders should quickly get riding the S1000RR a snap, as the electronics are more adaptive, I rode the M Package S1000RR variant, loaded with Akrapovič slip-on, Carbon Rims, Pro-Ride mode and active suspension to name a few juicy stuff with M Packaged together out of the showroom.

REST IN PEACE FAUSTO GRESINI

With the first of two winter tests done, MotoGP's early 2021 pacesetters look clear and there are some surprises among them with a two-day gap now before teams are back on track for final preparations in Qatar. Some teams and riders already look like they’re in great shape. Others are trying to play it cool despite languishing down the order. We’ve already looked at Valentino Rossi’s concerns that Yamaha’s latest bike has more in common with its poor 2020 machine

HRC test rider Stefan Bradl finished top of the pile at the Qatar Shakedown Test as windy conditions made it difficult for the riders to get a decent amount of running in. Two Yamaha test bikes were inside the top three on the timesheets but the pace was a considerable amount away from where we’d normally see them, nevertheless though, it was sensational to see MotoGP™ bikes back on track. Heavy winds nearing 40km/h at the Losail International Circuit heavily affected the opening few hours of track time, with fastest man Bradl some four seconds shy of Maverick Viñales’ (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) best time from the 2020 Qatar Test in the opening exchanges. He did go on to improve his pace throughout the day, his fastest being a 1:55.614 – 1.2 seconds ahead of anyone else and a couple of seconds down on the all-time lap record. Bradl was riding with a carbon inserted chassis, the same one he finished the season so brilliantly on in 2020.

Just three months after the commercial launch of the Aprilia RS 660, the single-brand competition dedicated to the new medium-size sport bike from Noale is born: The Aprilia Racing RS 660 Trophy. The idea of the RS 660 Trophy stems from the simple observation that the new twin-cylinder, one of the most highly anticipated bikes in recent years, capable of revolutionizing the concept of sportiness, is so lightweight and effective on the corners that, although conceived for daily street use, it is fully capable of transforming into an extremely fast and fun bike on the track with just a few modifications. Bolstered by the positive experience a year ago with the Aprilia Sport Production project, established to take very young riders to the track, as young as 11 years old, astride the “small” RS 250 SP, Aprilia Racing, along with the Federazione Motociclistica Italiana (Italian Motorcycling Federation), organizes what can be defined as the second important step in the reborn Aprilia “School of Champions”.

RS 250 SP

“The idea of this Trophy came about in a rather natural way” , confirms Massimo Rivola, Aprilia Racing CEO, “as soon as we realised now much the RS 660 is not just nice to look at, but also great fun to ride.


i-moto.my APRILIA RS 660 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS • Power 105 HP • Dry weight of the bike 153 kg • Front fork modified Andreani • Rear fork Öhlins • Brakes Brembo • Exhaust SC Project • Tyres Pirelli Supercorsa V3 SC1 Front 120/70-17 Rear 180/60-17 • Fairing Cruciata Racing in fibreglass • Racing components Spider Racing • Electronic Aprilia Racing Button • cluster and killswitch Jet prime • Air filter Sprint Filter P08 F1-85 • Paintwork Zanasi Group • Bike stands Bike-Lift


i-moto.my It is a bike with an outstanding dynamic balance and here at Aprilia Racing we decided to use it and move it straight away into a track competition that falls perfectly in line with our commitment to draw young riders into racing. Last year, the small Sport Production championship made its début. Now we want to create a consistent path of growth which, starting from the RS 250 SP, can move on to the RS 660 Trophy, intended for ambitious young people who always have the MotoGP dream in mind.”
