    On the 21st of September 2021, J's Auto, via their official Facebook page, posted a statement that an employee has been arrested by the Singapore Police Force for act(s) of Criminal Breach of Trust. Simply put, in the eyes or the law, there was a case or case(s) of cheating, scamming, or misappropriation.

    CBT is governed by sections 405 to 409 of the Penal Code of Singapore, and is generally defined as the dishonest misuse of funds or property by someone who has been entrusted with dominion over that property. The person must have either:
    Dishonestly misappropriated or converted the property for his own use; Dishonestly used or disposed of that property in violation of any law or contract; or Intentionally allowed another person to commit the above. This act of CBT, was allegedly committed by one of the employees at J's Auto - by a certain Mr Loh Chee Peng, who otherwise go by the alias Eric, Dennis, or Chris. Beats us why one person would require so many aliases but i guess we will find out as the case progresses on.
    If found guilty of committing regular CBT, the punishment can include up to 7 years of imprisonment and/or a fine, which the court will decide the amount for. It is pertinent that we state and acknowledge in this article that investigations have not been concluded and this is only alleged at this point in time.
    J's Auto is one of the more popular workshops for modifying and accessorising your motorcycle located at Woodlands. The exact extend to the fallout from this situation is yet to be determined, but point to note is that J's does not only sell aftermarket accessories and general servicing, but also partake in the selling, financing, and buying of entire motorcycles. This might cause the quantum to be significantly larger than what it would otherwise be.

    Some motorcycles awaiting modifications at J's Auto
    If you've recently dealt with Mr Loh Chee Peng, having provided a deposit/payment to him for goods or services that have yet to been rendered, here's how you start the process for getting your money back. The owner of J's Auto - Pierre, has stated that he would try his best to make good those that have been cheated (Kudos to Pierre!!)
    Gather your deposit slips, receipts, screenshot of messages of your dealing with Mr Loh Chee Peng Contact Pierre (J's Auto) @ 92744999 detailing the situation and any evidence that you have currently Be patient and give J's Auto some time to sort out the situation and issue As this is now officially a police matter, we would imagine that there might be certain delays and compliance to jump through.
    For future reference, here's how to avoid falling victim to a scam and how to protect your hard earned money:
    Always insist on a receipt or invoice for deposit or monies paid Whenever possible, try to go for shops that have "ready stock" for the items you are looking for Make sure when making payment, it is made out to the actual company/shop instead of a 3rd party or individual Visit the shop to make sure that the manager or owner is aware of your business dealings, it is harder to "scam" when there are multiple people and staff involved Check the review of the person(s) or shop that you are patronising to ensure they have a good track record So there you go! If you are a victim of this situation at J's Auto, do reach out to Pierre at your earliest convenience so that he is able to get a grasp on the extend of the situation. Do give him some time and understanding however, and trust that all support and cooperation will be given to the police to solve this case.
    If you are victim and require assistance, please do state in the comments section below and/or reach out to us via the Contact Us form so that we can assist.

    Lee Morrison, No Time To Die stunt coordinator: “The Tiger 900 is the most confidence-inspiring bike, it allows you to really push the ride as far as you want, you can take as many liberties as you want; stand up sideways drifting in third gear, slow wheelie it, slide it Supermoto-style.  I honestly think it’s one of the best bikes I’ve ever ridden, it’s fantastic.”

    Each motorcycle also comes with a premium, billet machined handlebar clamp, with the bike’s unique limited edition number.
    Finally with the unique styling details, the Tiger 900 Bond Edition includes premium ‘blacked out’ detailing throughout. The frame, headlight finishers, side panels, sump guard, pillion footrest hangers, auxiliary lamp shrouds and engine guards all have a premium, black finish.

    Premium detailing and equipment
    Enhancing the Bond Edition theme, the new limited edition Tiger 900 features an exciting bespoke 007TM start up screen animation and heated rider and pillion seat, crafted with unique Bond Edition branding.

    Triumph has recently expanded its popular Speed Triple range with the introduction of the 1200 RR - which was unveiled to journalist just 2 weeks ago. What Triumph brought to the fair was hands down on of the most impression launches in recent times - with a big part of that awe coming from just how jaw-dropping the 2022 Triumph Street Triple 1200 RR looked. Dare we say, this could be one of the most beautiful cafe racers to ever grace our eyes in recent times but without all the traditional niggles and problems of yesteryear motorcycles?

    TRIUMPH Motorcycles are distributed exclusively in Singapore by:

    Mah Pte Ltd
    www.mah.com.sg
    Address: 1179 Serangoon Rd, Singapore 328232
    Phone: 6295 6393
    Contact them today for special deal for SingaporeBikes.com members!
    Bringing a retro feel, the 1200 RR is based upon the Speed Triple 1200 RS which was released earlier in the year. The two share the same 178bhp 1160cc triple engine, but the RR takes a slightly more cafe racer-style approach to looks.
    The most noticeable change between the two motorcycles is the fitment of a single round headlamp, which replaces the twin headlamps on the RS. This is joined by clip-on handlebars, while the footpegs have been moved backwards. Combined, they give a more forward-leaning riding position.

    The RR incorporates Brembo brakes with 320mm discs, as well as lean-sensitive ABS. Adjustable Ohlins suspension is fitted as standard, too. They’re semi-active units, too, which means that they can be adjusted depending on the kind of riding you’re doing. Metzeler Racetec RR K3 tyres are fitted as well.
    All bikes get a full-colour five-inch TFT screen, while Triumph shift assist with up and down quickshifter comes as standard too.

    Here are 10 quick facts to get you antiquated with this latest offering from the British brand:
    1. The big news from a performance perspective is the new semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension with OBTi (Objective Based Tuning Interface) software. Servo motors for the damping adjustment controlled by constant computer monitoring give the 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR the pinnacle of street suspension technology. The suspension is adjustable on the fly, and Triumph describes it as “track-derived” with the “performance of a supersport bike.”

    2. The Speed Triple line has been known as a naked upright, but that doesn’t apply to the RR. The RR breaks with tradition, being a faired sportbike with clip-ons. It is a pure café racer.
    3. Even a cursory look tells you that the RR has its own ergonomics. The grips are down a stunning 5.3 inches compared to the naked, upright RS, and moved forward nearly two inches—a huge difference. Triumph also moved the footpegs up and back slightly. It’s a seating position built for speed rather than comfort.

    4. The fairing is upper-only, and is proudly led by a traditional round headlight. It’s not quite as retro and the MV Agusta Superveloce, being wider and more angular at the leading edge.
    5. Although the motor is unchanged, the RR gets higher-spec tires. Triumph is mounting up Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires on the RR’s cast-aluminum wheels, with Supercorsa SC2 V3 rubber available as an option. That will help harness the 177 horses produced at 10,750 rpm by the DOHC triple, as well as the brutish 92 ft-lbs of torque at 9000 rpm.

    6. Carbon fiber is part of the RR’s upgraded package. The lightweight black stuff is used for various infills—tank, fairing, cockpit—plus the side panels and front fender.
    7. Triumph is using “ultra-premium high-quality” candy paint for the Speed Triple RR. The Red Hopper & Strom Gray is the flashy choice, with the Crystal White & Storm Grey appealing to the sophisticated buyer who will appreciate its gold detailing and pinstriping.
    2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS First Look: Specs

    8. There are a few other RR-specific upgrades worth mentioning. The handlebar clamp is branded Speed Triple. Additionally, the belly pan and seat cowling are color-matched. Don’t worry if you want to ride two-up—the RR included a pillion seat that you can install instead of the seat cowling.

    9. Triumph did a complete reboot of the Speed Triple this year. You will want to know about the Brembo braking system, highly customizable rider modes, the up/down quickshifter, and the full electronics suite (including the My Triumph connectivity system for your smartphone, developed in cooperation with Google and GoPro).

    10. The Speed Triple RR can be fitted with a variety of Triumph accessories. There’s everything from machined billet-aluminum goodies to an anti-theft system to luggage. Oh, and to keep the RR looking good, there are frame and fork protectors, plus a rubber tank pad.

    If your heart is fluttering as are ours, you’ll have to wait until January to take delivery on a 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR. Triumph Motorcycles are distributed in Singapore exclusively by Mah Pte Ltd. Do reach out to them to arrange for a test ride and let them know SingaporeBikes.com sent you - They'll take really good care of you.

    MID-YEAR TRAFFIC SITUATION 2021 FROM TRAFFIC POLICE
    Motorcycle Statistics (1st Jan 2021 to 30th June 2021):
    Motorcyclist or pillions involved in traffic accident: 56.8% Motorcyclist or pillions involved in fatalities: 44.8% Accidents involving motorcyclist: 1,702 (vs 1,546 in 2020) - Increase of 10.1% Fatalities involving motorcyclist or pillion: 26 (vs 31 in 2020) - Decrease of 16.1% Injured person(s) from motorcycle: 1,803 (vs 1,631 in 2020) - Increase of 10.5%

    Traffic accidents resulting in fatalities and injuries in the first half of 2021 increased when compared to the same period in 2020, partly due to the increased number of road users and vehicles. Drink-driving and speeding-related accidents increased, while the number of red-light running accidents and accidents involving elderly pedestrians decreased. The number of traffic accidents and violations was however still generally lower than the pre-COVID period, due to the lighter traffic volume on the roads as a result of more people staying at home.
    While the number of fatal accidents involving elderly pedestrians and motorcyclists has decreased, such accidents remain key concerns as they continue to account for a disproportionate number of traffic accidents resulting in injuries or death.
    Road safety is a shared responsibility. All road users must play their part if we are to keep our roads safe. The Traffic Police (TP), together with the Singapore Road Safety Council and other stakeholders, will continue its public education efforts to raise awareness of road safety and encourage road users to play their part in keeping our roads safe. TP will continue to take strong enforcement action against errant motorists who violate traffic rules.

    Nearly every small-displacement entry-level sportbike echoes MotoGP and World Superbike inspiration in its bodywork. But few hold their place as premium lightweight machines; the aggressive styling cues often hide budget components, meaning these machines are more basic-spec commuters than miniature racing contenders. That is why you will find that there is an exponential jump in price going from a Class 2B mid-category sports bike like the Yamaha R3 up to the Yamaha R6 (or R7 now) and likewise when looking at Honda's offering of the CBR250RR and CBR600RR. KTM wants to do things a little bit differently though and have put out the long-awaited RC 390 to prove this point.

    The KTM RC 390 bucked the trend somewhat when it first launched in 2014. Now the bike looks to take the lightweight supersport class to the next level. Its intent is clear. Aside from fresh aerodynamic bodywork inspired by the Orange Brigade’s RC16 MotoGP machine, the all-new 2022 KTM RC 390 features premium updates focusing on function over form: a three-directional IMU, to support first-in-class lean-angle-sensitive traction control and ABS; a revised and lighter chassis; up-spec’d and adjustable WP Apex suspension; and sticky Continental tires, among others.

    However, KTM left the RC’s liquid-cooled DOHC 373cc single-cylinder engine relatively unchanged to sustain European A2 license eligibility, implementing a short list of improvements to meet new, stricter Euro 5 standards. The RC 390 gets an all-new exhaust system, revised fueling, and a 40-percent-larger airbox. The result is a slight 1.5-pound-foot boost in torque, to 27.3 pound-feet at 7,000 rpm.
    Most of the RC 390′s updates focus on handling. KTM optimized the lateral rigidity of the RC’s steel trellis frame and bolt-on subframe, saving 3.3 pounds in the process. More weight savings comes in the form of trick lightweight “open hub” wheels, which are 7.5 pounds (30 percent) lighter than before, for a big reduction of unsprung weight. The 390 is also upgraded with a new fork from KTM-owned WP, featuring compression and rebound damping adjustment. The Apex shock is adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping, rare luxuries indeed for the lightweight segment.

    The KTM RC 390 and all its updates come to a halt thanks to a new radial-mounted four-piston ByeBre caliper and 320mm disc up front plus a single-piston caliper clamping a 230mm disc at the rear. The RC features lean-angle-sensitive cornering ABS, a feature unique to its category. The system is switchable with KTM’s Supermoto ABS, which allows for rear-end lockup. The new braking system shaves an additional 2 pounds off the RC 390.
    Revised MotoGP-inspired bodywork is claimed to have increased the top speed by approximately 7 mph, despite only minor engine tweaks. The clip-on handlebars have a 10mm height adjustment; significantly, there’s also a new full-color TFT dashboard with Bluetooth connectivity to KTM’s My Ride app directly in front of them. The fuel tank’s capacity increases to 3.6 gallons.

    The 2022 KTM RC 390′s powerplant impressed with its friendly character during test rides in northern Italy, even if the lightweight supersport sounded a bit strangled at low revs through the factory exhaust system. Below 6,000 rpm, the single-cylinder pulls easily and fueled cleanly, and the feel of connection through its ride-by-wire throttle response is centuries ahead of single-cylinder engines of the past.
    Keeping it spinning above the 6,000-rpm threshold and you’re rewarded with serious fun; at that point the exhaust finally warms to its task with a more aggressive note. When cruising at 75 mph, the rev counter hovers around 7,000 rpm with plenty of revs left to use. The RC happily pulls toward its redline in every gear, and despite the minimal engine changes, managed to reach an indicated 111 mph with some left in reserve.

    True, the RC 390 doesn’t pack a huge amount of power to play with. But that’s exactly what makes it so dang entertaining: It’s pure and simple to ride fast without the worry of doubling the speed limit and the consequences that come with. Riding this bike is all about corner speed. Focus on your brake point, smash apexes, feel the mechanical grip and feedback from the chassis, open the throttle early, and you’re off to the races. Ask for too much and the new traction control system will lend you an added degree of safety. As the saying goes, it’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow.

    The superb ride quality and feel from the WP Apex suspension makes for a plush ride on the road, even if it is slightly soft at the rear when carrying my 174 pounds at a spirited pace. Damping and preload adjustments are quick and easy thanks to the provided tools underneath the seat and take a few seconds on the side of the road. Those adjustments are immediately apparent and representative of the high-quality components fitted to the RC; this isn’t something typical of budget-conscious machines. The RC 390 also proved agile while ripping the streets of Modena. Only minimal input is required to make steering corrections and dart through traffic as needed.

    Unlike some of its competitors, the RC 390′s premium build quality and components let it thrive under the tough demands of the racetrack even in its standard trim. After six sessions of all-out lapping, I had to remind myself that this KTM is intended to be a beginner-friendly machine.
    Chassis composure was a highlight of track testing. The suspension action of the WP components is controlled and confidence-inspiring, while adequate ground clearance and the OE-fitted Continental tires allow you to deck the RC 390 on its side in search for maximum corner speed. Performance only faded toward the closing stages of a 20-minute session, but in fairness that’s to be expected in the 30-degree-celcius heat.

    The increased stopping power of the ByBre components is welcomed at the racetrack, where the brakes delivered good feel and consistent performance throughout testing. The ABS of the new system is exceptional, only intervening when needed. Supermoto ABS, which allows for rear-wheel lift, is the preferred setting at the track.
    Serious trackday enthusiasts will take note of the full line of accessories offered in KTM’s Powerparts catalog, including the race-spec muffler equipped to our test unit. Other available accessories include paddock stands, brake lever guards, race-spec chains, and more.
    The all-new RC 390 emphatically sets a new benchmark for the lightweight supersport class. Precise, confident handling aided by top-shelf components is the highlight of its performance on both road and track, while added electronic rider aids place it in a league of its own. Pair that with MotoGP-inspired bodywork and the premium build quality we expect of KTM, and it’s hard to argue with how impressive the RC 390 is.

    While no retail price has been set for the 2022 KTM RC 390, thus we will not be able to advise on the OTR price here in Singapore, the upgrades and high-spec parts suggest it won’t be cheap, especially for its class. Still, we can’t wait to get a test unit here to ride on the roads of Singapore.

    Vibrations from a motorcycle could damage the image balancing software in an iPhone as Apple warns bikers not to fix the device to motorcycles. This new advisory came as there has been an increasing number of delivery riders on the roads from services such as Grab, FoodPanda, Deliveroo, Air Asia, and more! During this pandemic, as more people work from home, this has cause there to be an exponential rise in the demand for home delivery services and with that, delivery riders. Especially if you are displaced from your current job, joining one of the various platforms can be a good way to earn a living.

    The low cost to entry, also means that with just a simple mode of transport (such as a motorcycle) and a handphone which most people have anyway, you are able to get started almost right away! We've also seen in recent news report of how some delivery riders are making very decent income even after subtracting their cost for petrol, insurance, depreciation and the likes. However, a new hidden cost has been becoming more apparent and that is the cost of replacing your mobile phone when it breaks due to prolong use. We're not talking about the phone breaking due to old age or wear and tear, but more specifically, because of how phones are designed nowadays, there are thousands of moving parts within them and being attached via a handphone holder to your motorcycle, riding upwards of 100km everyday on the bumps and potholes of our roads, the minute parts and motors within will fail eventually.

    This is what has triggered Apple to issue an advisory warning to its owners just recently, to avoid prolong use while attached to a motorcycle. This does not just apply to Apple phones however, as we've seen and heard reports from many other delivery riders that phones from Xiaomi, Samsung, and other brands are also facing the same issue.
    So, if you are a delivery rider, and to minimise your cost of running your business, we've come up with 3 simple tips to help you save some money and ensure that your latest new shiny flagship device last for a long time, even while you spend hours tolling the roads doing your delivery services!
    1) Get a soft-material phone case for your phone
    There are 3 key points in which the vibrations from the roads are passed onto your mobile device. The first being the roads onto your motorcycle via the tyres. The second become from the motorcycle to the handphone holder, and finally, from the handphone holder to the handphone.

    We can try to minimise the impact of these vibrations by placing the phone in a soft-shell, TPU or rubber casing to absorb some of these vibrations to ensure that your phone is not subjected to every single bump nook and cranny from the roads! We would also suggest avoiding hard plastic or acrylic cases, and to try and stick with something that is softer to reduce the harshness that is transferred.
    Another plus point of these softer rubber cases are that they are usually cheaper to purchase as well! There you go! Saving you time AND money!
    2) Allowing more free play on your phone mount
    We all like a good solid mount as that is usually a sign that the product is well made, correct? Well yes and no. While in a car or other vehicles, having a solid mount would allow us to better visualise what is on the screen and gives us a better line of sight, allowing for no free play on the phone mount would actually cause more NVH (that's noise, vibration and harshness) to be transferred from the roads onto our phone.

    The difficult part here is actually finding a nice balance between allowing for some motion on the phone mount, and making sure that the mount is not swinging all over the place, rendering it useless as you are not able to see anything that is on the screen clearly! Using the very common X-Grip mount for example - What you could do would be to tighten the mount and clamp just to the point that it doesn't wiggle and shake about, but at the same time, not to over-tighten it to the point whereby there is no free play at all.
    This simple tip and trick might cause the mount to go loose over some time, but it definitely is a cheaper option as compared to replacing that brand spanking new iPhone 13 Pro Max that you have just bought for your birthday!
    3) Getting a beater phone for your delivery jobs
    Last but not least, if point 1 and 2 weren't your cup of tea, the next best (but no cheapest option) would be to buy a beater phone to use for your Deliveroo and FoodPanda jobs. With the advancement of technology, older phones have become so cheap to a point that you'd find a dime and dozen of them on classified platforms like Carousell going for $80 or less.

    Take this cost as part of running your own 'business' and if it breaks, you can simply replace it for not a lot of money! The only thing to take note of is that certain apps require certain updates to run so when buying a used Android or Apple phone, make sure that it is able to support the delivery platform that you are going to use!

    With that, we hope that these simple 'hacks' will help you save some money in the longer term and be sure to share this with your fellow delivery riders! Stay safe on the roads and don't stop hustling!

    The Kymco KRV 180’s debut at the Beijing Auto Show 2021 seems to be the first bit of inspiring news to come out of the automaker in the last year and a half. Now this scooter is a bit of a departure from the company’s better known X-Town line of maxi scooters, instead taking inspiration from the Taiwanese company’s largest twin-cylinder offering, the AK 550. What you get with the brand new Kymco KRV 180 is a mean-looking, sporty, underslung body with one of the most powerful Class 2B engines around.

    If you've been riding for the past 10 years or so, you would undoubtedly recognise the Gilera Runner ST200 as one of the most popular Class 2B scooters around. There is reason behind it's immense popularity though, that being, it packaged a very powerful engine, into an easy to maintain, small body which is nimble enough to be used on the roads of Singapore. As the years passed on however, the Gilera became less commonplace on the roads as there were no new models launched and if you look at the context of the Class 2B scooter market today, the reigning king would definitely be the Yamaha NMax 155 followed by the Honda PCX 150.

    Kymco Singapore, through their exclusive distributor Motor Sport Pte Ltd - are now looking to this specific market segment and have thrown their hats into the ring with the all new Kymco KRV 180. Taking the DNA from the larger scooters from Kymco's already very well-established range, the KRV 180 does have all the makings required for it to be a runaway success here in our local context.

    Some of the design cues borrowed from the AK 550, such as the sharp, split LED headlights with LED DRLs and edgy body panels, are obvious. But the similarities extend under the skin as well. Unlike traditional scooters, there’s no underbone chassis here. Instead, just like the AK, the KRV uses a lightweight twin-spar frame along with a motorcycle-like swingarm, and the engine mounted in the centre, sending drive to the rear wheel through an exposed belt drive.
    This should really help with overall weight distribution as well as reduce unsprung mass, which combined with its right-side-up front fork, rear monoshock and 13-inch wheels shod with 110/70-13 rubber at the front and 130/70-13 at the rear, should really make for a compelling handling package.

    The motor itself is a 175cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve, single-cylinder mill putting out about 17PS @ 8000rpm and 15.5Nm @ 6500rpm. To put that into context, that's more power and torque than you currently get from the Yamaha NMax and Honda PCX. More interestingly, it also gets switchable traction control as an option.
    What makes this KRV 180 really stand apart from the more conventional maxi scooters is its flat footboard; stepped, but not split, seat; exposed handlebar and the lack of a large windshield. To be honest, this sort of design is right up our alley and lends the KRV a distinctly sporty style compared to other maxi scooters.
    It’s a fairly featured packed scooter as well, equipped with disc brakes at both ends with ABS, LED lighting all around, fully digital instrument cluster, dual USB charging ports and a keyless start system that gets a central knob for locking/unlocking the scooter, underseat storage as well as the external fuel filler cap. And speaking of the underseat storage, it looks fairly cavernous and should swallow a proper full-face helmet whole.

    The Kymco KRV 180 is now available for booking from local distributor - Motor Sport Pte Ltd (Kymco Singapore). With enough traction, you'd soon be seeing many of these on the roads as one of the most bang for your buck scooters there is available!
