• Proposal to limit motorcycle access to Malaysian highways needs to be carefully studied says Loke

  In Bikes, Local Bike News, Local News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 28 January 2026 6:09 pm / 57 comments

  

  Any proposal to limit motorcycle access to Malaysian highways needs to be carefully studied. This was said by Transport Minister Anthony Loke, with examination of any proposal’s impact and effectiveness.

  Loke said any proposal may be forwarded but carefully studied for its feasibility and real-world impact, reports the New Straits Times. “There are various proposals being submitted, including from highway operators such as PLUS Malaysia Berhad but whether they are practical or not needs to be assessed,” he said at a press conference here today after attending the Transport Ministry’s 2026 New Year Address.

  Suggestions have been forwarded to limit motorcycles on highways during specific time periods or capacity levels to reduce conflict with other vehicles, especially during peak periods. This follows a sharp rise in road fatalities involving motorcyclists over the last three years.

  

  “Among the factors to be considered is whether such proposals would affect other road users who genuinely need to use highways to reach their destinations,” said Loke. Loke added, “We know there may be benefits from a safety perspective, particularly in preventing highways from becoming venues for illegal racing.”

  Police statistics attributed speeding, reckless riding and violations of traffic regulations amongst the main factors contributing to yearly increase in road deaths. Loke clarified the matter does not fall entirely under the Transport ministry’s jurisdiction, as it also involves the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA), the Works Ministry and highway concessionaires.

• AFAZ to launch a 150 cc super moped by Q2 2026

  In AFAZ, Bikes, Local Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 26 January 2026 5:36 pm / 3 comments

  

  In a special media preview in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysian motorcycle manufacturer AFAZ revealed a prototype 150 cc super moped. With assembled media denied use of smartphones, cameras and other recording devices, this article will not being showing you ay photos or videos of the new AFAZ super moped.

  It doesn’t have an official market name as yet, but does have the working title “A03”. This means it will be the third product AFAZ will produce, as a local manufacturer, using AFAZ designed components mated to a Suzuki GSX-R 150 engine.

  In case you’re wondering where “A02” is, it is currently in development, and containing greater local content than the AFAZ Kencana Sport 115, which is, logically “A01” in the AFAZ product development programme. Tasking for development and engineering is given over to AMITec Technology, a wholly owned AMI subsidiary.

  This means the rolling chassis and frame design of A03 are wholly the brain child of AMITec, with a view of entering local and perhaps regional competition. What sets A03 apart from its super moped competition in Malaysia is its frame, a welded trellis frame assembly that harks back to the Ducati 851/888 racers, and holding the GSX-R 150 engine as a stressed member.

  Keeping the silhouette of a moped, or kapchai, A03 packs things in tight, and there is no wasted space. When advised fuel tank capacity was around 5-litres, and asked if there was a possibility of a bigger tank, the reply we got was, “it will be very difficult,” with the engineer pointing to the lack of clearance between the frame rails, as well as the location of the monoshock, rather longer than normal to allow for more suspension movement and ground clearance.

  The swingarm is a massive unit, a mix of cast, machined and extruded sections by kapchai standards(though this may change as the A03 approaches production) belying the racing intentions of the A03. The wheelbase is short, making the A03 more of a sportsbike than a Grab rider’s steed.

  In any case, the AO3 is a classic case of taking an engine, and shoe horning it into a frame it was not meant to fit, a time and tested hot rodder’s method. We have been promised by AFAZ that more information on developments will be released as A03 nears its production date in six months.

• 2026 Indian Chief Vintage is a throwback to 1940s US

  In Bikes, Indian Motorcycle, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 23 January 2026 1:50 pm / 2 comments

  

  A throwback to the 1940s and postwar American motorcycles is the 2026 Indian Chief Vintage. Classically styled, the Chief Vintage with its flowing valanced fenders and silhouette pay tribute to Indian Motorcycle’s roots in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the brand originated.

  Harking back to what is sometimes referred to as the “Golden Age” of American motorcycles, the Chief Vintage also celebrates 125 years of Indian Motorcycles. The heritage looks of the Chief Vintage is found in details such as the non-machined black cylinders and silver-painted cylinder heads and pushrod tubes.

  Done deliberately, this reflects the engineering processes in use in the US at the time. The painted components and non-machined engine fins pay tribute to the raw aluminium finishes found on the original Chief models.

  

  

  

  

  This is combined with a vintage-style solo seat, handlebars and wire spoked wheels to present a classic Indian Motorcycle with modern day riding requirements. There are two colour options available for the Chief Vintage – Indian Motorcycle Red and Black Metallic.

  This can be matched with black handlebars and headlight, or chromed versions thereof. Coming standard with a classic solo seat, a passenger pillion seat and backrest pad can be installed as an optional accessory, along with a full-sized saddle seat if desired.

  

  Also optional are front highway bars for low-speed tip-over protection and bar lower closeouts to reduce wind buffeting and shield against road debris. There is also a 450 mm tall quick-release windshield for added wind protection.

  Power for the Chief Vintage comes from Indian Motorcycle’s Thunderstroke 116 V-twin, displacing 1,890 cc, and producing 156 Nm of torque at 2,900 rpm. The Chief Vintage weighs in at 327 kg wet, with 15-litres of fuel in the tank, while seat height is set at 686 mm.

• 2026 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited tourers debut with upgrades

  In Bikes, Harley-Davidson, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 20 January 2026 5:25 pm / 1 comment

  

  FLHXL Street Glide Limited

  Improvements and updates to the 2026 Harley-Davidson (H-D) Street Glide Limited and Road Glide Limited touring motorcycles. Design changes were made to specific components to make the big touring rigs easier to ride and manage.

  For the Street Glide Limited, a new H-D “Batwing” fairing features an updated design for improved aerodynamic efficiency and more comfort compared to the previous Ultra Limited fairing. This is aided by a new clear windshield 100 mm taller than the standard Street Glide model windscreen and shaped to provide aero comfort and protection.

  The Street Glide Limited has also gone on a diet, now weighing 10.9 kg less than the previous 2024 Ultra Limited tourer. Weight was reduced where ever possible, making the Street Glide Limited easier to lift off the side stand, and making it easier to balance at a stop.

  

  MY26 Web 360. FLHXL Street Glide Limited

  

  A new wheel design features a 10-spoke wheel – 19-inches in front and 18-inches at the rear – that splits to 20-spokes at the rim. The cast aluminum wheels feature black inner spokes and contrasting bright machine-finished spoke edges and rims.

  There is also new accessories for the Street Glide Limited with rider footboards, passenger footboards, brake pedal pad, and highway pegs, inspired by the art-deco designs of the Streamliner era of the 1930s. Colour options for the Street Glide Limited in 2026 are Dark Billiard Gray (base), Vivid Black, White Onyx Pearl, Iron Horse Metallic, Brilliant Red, while Olive Steel Metallic/Vivid Black and Purple Abyss/Vivid Black are new options, all available in either chrome or black trim.

  

  FLTRXL Road Glide Limited

  Meanwhile, the Road Glide Limited comes with a twin element headlight instead of the Street Glide’s single road LED unit, covered by a redesigned H-D “Sharknose” fairing. The fairing is mounted directly to the Road Glide’s frame, reducing steering effort in tight maneuvers at low speed and comes with a windshield 100 mm taller.

  Weight has been reduced by 5.9 kg while other improvements are identical to the Street Glide Limited.

  Several markets recorded their best ever sales last year, including Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia, Portugal, Canada, Malaysia and the Netherlands.

  As was expected, the new generation ‘R’ bikes lead BMW Motorrad’s sales charge, with the R 1300 RT, R 1300 R and R 1300 RS seeing good reception from the riding public. However, the jewel in BMW Motorrad’s 2025 sales crown was the latest iteration of the legendary ‘GS’ motorcycle, the R 1300 GS and R 1300 GS Adventure.

  

  In terms of number of units, the uber overlander, the R 1300 GS Adventure, saw 33,570 units out the showroom door, while the R 1300 GS with its smaller fuel tank seeing 32,555 units sold. These were followed by BMW Motorrad’s high performance four-cylinder superbike, the S 1000 RR, with 11,643 bikes hitting the highways and racetracks.

  The four-cylinder models in BMW Motorrad’s line-up saw 20,859 units sold in 2025, with a further 7,549 units from the performance driven ‘M’-series, M 1000 R, M 1000 RR, and M 1000 XR, driving sales to 28,408 four-cylinder bikes sold overall. BMW Motorrad also saw strong sales performance from the middleweight segment, with the F 800 GS, the F 900 R, and the F 900 GS, while the scooters – C 400 GT, C 400 X, and the CE02 and CE04 electric scooters – saw 18,400 units sold.
