Braking is done with single hydraulic discs front and rear, with two-channel ABS as standard equipment. For suspension, also no changes, with non-adjustable upside-down forks in front and a preload-adjustable mono shock at the back.
LED lighting is used throughout, with headlight styling mimicking the design of the YZF-R1 superbike. Riding information is displayed on a monochrome LCD screen with Y-Connect to the rider’s smartphone.
JPJ should revamp the draconian and dated test SOP for motorbike riding license. One of the nonsense is learners still and must using hand signals that is only suits scooters era in 50’s which were yet to be equipped with turn indicators.
Another rule of the test is leaners must park their bike in a double stands position at the end of the test. If they forgot to do just that by parked in a single stand position instead they will fail the test. I was one of the learners who got failed by a JPJ tester some 30 years ago because of the rule.
People question is, in the real world why JPJ or JSPT never issues ticket to bikers parking their bikes in a single stands if parking in double stands is mandatory and very important that bikers must obey? Is double stands park makes bikers safer? Or will it prevent bikes from thieves?
Those example of the comedian acts of the riding test are one of the reason why people especially youngsters won’t go to driving school to learn and sit the test to obtain B2/B1/B license.
A lot of bikes don’t even come with a center stand. What is this comment lol
If so why learners have to park in center stand position during the test? Go check bikes JPJ use in the test before comment.
i just took my test last year. No such requirement for B Full
while china bikes have come with traction control, quickshifter and some even 4 cylinder, this R25 features are outdated. after losing significant market share, then these Japanese manufacturers only start to cry foul that Chinese manufacturers started the price war when in fact they didn’t take early measures to improve their product features.
clear old stock with new livery
Japanese motorcycle brand is suffering great threat from China motorcycle brand
