Are bikes like the following really still available?

It looks to me like something that was last sold maybe 20 or 30 years ago.

Yes, in principle I understand it.

But that thing does not look like retro style. It just looks the kind of old fashioned everybody is happy does not exist anymore.

But then, maybe some people like that "design"...

Lifan and GPX seem absent.

Haven't seen a Lifan all year,

but Mityon has new GPX  showroom

on 3rd road between Klang and north rd.

In their old Xspeed shop,

[which is now at 3rd & Lenkee.]

Very attractive line-up.

Er, every Honda m/c showroom i've walked past the last half a decade has several of these on show in an array of pleasant 60's colours.

Next time, try wearing sunglasses with less of a tint.........

Back to the OP.

Yeah i had a look too on that website.

Sorry not impressed.

Haha, couldn't have picked a worse example. The Honda Super Cub was just re-released with quite a lot of marketing. When I looked for the Monkey, the dealership that has those also had the Super Cub. They built a whole cafe showroom for the Monkey and Super Cub called.... the Cub House. With Cub shirts and what have you. The Super Cub has been wildly successful over the decades and now they are trying to make it their own Vespa-like thing. Personally I think it wont work as they think it would but hey, whatever. At least it's not crazy overpriced like the Monkey and actually useful.

Sort by price, popularity.

Specs & pics

 

Interesting page though some of the data seems a bit off. BMW C 650 for 65k? Gimme. GSX S1000 for 75k? GIMME! Hayabusa for 79k? Mwahaha *evil laughter*

When sorted by popularity

they list the Yamaha Exciter as the fourth most popular model.

I rarely see these.

Are they real popular out in the country?

& the Forza 300 is 5th on the list?

the KTM 390 Superduke is more popular than the Aerox.

Hmmm.

papa sceptable.
