Best bang for buck!
Bought this motorcycle back in 2017 (The first model). Of course, being non-Japanese made will make some Malaysian skeptical with the brand but fret not; it was better than my earlier expectation. Let's start with the pros; I) The starting price is just around RM7k; with that budget, the alternative you can get is 135LC or lethargic Dash/Wave. So you get more with something less. II) You get USD fork, something unheard for this category. The handling of the moped is good. III) Good fuel consumption, with some caveat, the three spark plug system only triggers when the RPM is below 7k; therefore, you need to control your throttle to get the best FC. my record is 57km/L, translated into 240km per tank. IV) not a thief magnet. Worry-free when parking anywhere. V) durable rear signal compared to the Japanese brand. VI) Very minimal vibration Cons; I. To get the best FC, they have designed the exhaust system backpressure. Therefore the top speed might not be as good as its peers. II. Some parts like the master pump aren't that good. Better off with the third party. No problem since then III. Not so refined engine. The engine tends to be rough at low RPM. You can lessen the effect with different engine oil. IV. Not so many aftermarket accessories/parts. Not a bummer for me. Overall ownership, I am satisfied as it ticks my expectation (handling, FC). To those with rempit minded might want to stay away from this brand
