    Ducati have updated the Panigale V4 range for 2021, including a new track-focused SP (Sport Production) model. The numbered special comes with a host of updates to make it even more capable on track and a new paintjob that takes inspiration from Ducati’s factory racing teams’ winter testing liveries. This will be the 5th Ducati Panigale V4 edition, after the Panigale V4, Panigale V4S, Panigale V4R and of course the top-dog the Panigale Superleggera V4. This Panigale V4SP will be priced just slightly below the V4R.

    The RRP of the new Panigale V4SP costs £32,295 (S$58,330) which puts it much closer to a V4R at £34,995 (S$63,206) than a V4S costing £24,795 (S$44,784). It's also more expensive than BMW's latest racing creation, the carbon clad M1000RR, which costs £30,930 (S$55,964) in standard trim. The price quoted here however are for the European markets and as we all know, with the COE, ARF, and many other fees applicable to motorcycles registered in Singapore, we expect the price for the Ducati Panigale V4SP to be north of S$100,000. Shocking, yes we know.
    The Ducati Panigale V4SP comes finished in matte black with luminous red accents and a brushed aluminium fuel tank like that on the V4R homologation special.
    Despite being a road-going V4S under all the bling, Ducati say the SP is for the track. It comes with a race kit that includes the Ducati Data Analyzer plus with GPS module, blanked off mirrors and numberplate hanger and fully adjustable Rizoma anodized aluminium footpegs, but that’s not where the track-going intent ends.
    The SP uses upgraded Brembo Stylema R calipers paired with an MCS master cylinder complete with remote adjuster that means the rider can change every aspect of braking feel at the lever. An SDM superbike open dry clutch means improved track performance on aggressive downshifts, too.
    These brakes and clutch as well as a thinner 520 chain have been lifted direct from the brand’s ultra-exclusive Superleggera V4, as have the carbon-fibre wheels that shave 1.4kg of unsprung weight.
    All of the Panigale V4 range has undergone an electronics update that splits the Race riding mode in two; Race A and Race B, for even greater customisation. The whole family is also now Euro5 compliant.

    The Panigale V4 and V4 S will be available in Ducati dealers starting from December, with the Panigale V4SP from March 2021. We'll check in with Wernes to see if any allocation will be coming to Singapore and what the price will be. Don't expect it to be cheap however, and will probably cost more than a economical Japanese family sedan.

    OTR Price at time of editorial - S$12,870 including COE, excluding insurance
    The staple bike amongst many South-East Asian countries that have soared to popularity over the many years it was offered due to its cheap cost to purchase (not in Singapore though!), low maintenance costs, reliability, and ease of use have finally gotten a refresh - we are of course talking about the Yamaha Sniper 155, which has been heavily updated for 2021. (155 you say? That must be a typo! No it's not, the Sniper receives an all-new engine for 2021)

    The Yamaha Sniper, which previously carried the Yamaha Sniper 150 brand name due to its 150cc engine, has now been fitted with an all-new 155 engine from its sibling the Yamaha R15 - thus now carrying the name Yamaha Sniper 155. The Yamaha is known by many different names in the different markets around the region such as the Yamaha Sniper for Singapore and Philippines, the Yamaha Exciter in Thailand and Vietnam, the Yamaha Jupiter in Indonesia, and lastly the Yamaha Y15 in Malaysia.

    This all-new bike is first launched in the Vietnamese market - which is why you will see the "Exciter 155" branding in the pictures, but we except all other SEA markets to start receiving the revised models soon as well. This new update brings quite a big change to the outlook of the motorcycle as it adopts headlight designed which is very similar to the 2021 Aerox, and according to press releases, is designed and have cues taken from the flagship within Yamaha's range, the Yamaha R1. You will notice striking resemblance of the Sniper's rear tail lights and those from the superfast Yamaha R1.

    Yamaha Motor Vietnam officially introduced the all-new Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA with the message ′"Ride the Next Level". With a new engine and almost completely revised outlooks, we'd say this is a fitting statement.

    As mentioned, the all new Yamaha Sniper was developed as a ′′little YZF-R1", introduced in Southeast Asia market with Vietnam as the first country to launch the product.
    New technology that is feature on the Yamaha Sniper 2021:
    Slipper and Assist clutch similar to that of the YZF-R1 4 customized riding map to choose from similar to that of the YZF-R1 Diamond carbon coating technology within the engine Increase spraying efficiency and combustion within the engine
    New 155cc Engine for 2021 Yamaha Sniper:
    155cc VVA Engine Developed on Yamaha R15 Platform 17% Power Increase Over Previous 150cc Engine 155cc Engine, 4 Valve, SOHC, Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), Liquid-Cooled Diameter/Piston: 58.0 x 58.7mm Compression Ratio: 10.5:1 17.7 Hp at 9,500rpm Torque 14.4 Nm at 8,000rpm
    What do you think of this workhorse from Yamaha? Would this make the perfect bike for a delivery rider due to it's amazing fuel economy and ease of maintenance? Let us know in the comments section below!

    The latest news to hit our shores in the past days would definitely be the fact that we are going to have a new locally manufactured motorcycle that is made in Singapore - and it's electric only to boot! Presenting.. The Scorpio X!
    Mr Melvin Goh - of Eurosports Auto (who is also the local distributor and agent for Lamborghini) has embarked on his next journey, and unlike its petrol-powered high performance cars, it is looking towards EV and the future, producing EV 2-wheel scooters for our local roads.

    Scorpio Electric (which the company is called) recently raised US$6.3M in its latest fund-raising round to fund this venture and it's looking towards demand for electrification and greener modes of transportation to justify its business model.
    Mr Goh also mentioned that the price of the scooter when launched in 2022, is expected to cost between S$25,000 and S$30,000 including COE. Power-wise, it is comparable to a Class 2B scooter and the motorcycle will have a range of around 200km, which we reckon is sufficient for Singapore's roads.
    While that might seem like a high price to pay for a Class 2B scooter, Mr Goh did mention that they are targeting the premium market and will not seek to compete with bargain-basement priced Japanese scooters. Another point to consider will be the charging infrastructure available in Singapore and this would make or break their forecasted demand numbers.

    While electric cars in Singapore are slowly taking off as owners are able to install such charging stations within their home compound if they are living in a landed property, buyers of scooters are usually staying in public housing and thus would not have access to the same infrastructure available to them.
    With 2 more years to go before the Scorpio X will be available to the public, we're hoping this is enough time for them to sort out the teething issues present. We are always for a cleaner environment, greener technology, but are also realistic to the fact that market forces of demand, supply, pricing, and viability will take precedence over saving the earth, especially for the end users.

    What do you think? Will this business and motorcycle be a hit or miss here in Singapore and around the region? A local manufacturer also tried to produce motorcycles in Singapore many years ago but folded due to the high cost. Will Mr Goh be able to do things differently? We'll find out soon enough.

    The ADV world came alive with the introduction of the all new KTM 390 Adventure for 2020 as it went up against the also recently launch BMW G 310 GS. While the take-off rate of the baby GS did not live up to expectation as what BMW would have hoped, KTM is bringing a very different proposition to the table and die-hard ADV fans are actually very much looking forward to what is coming from the Austria-based manufacturer.

    If you are looking for an adventure bike that is easier to manage that the KTM 1290 Adventure or the ever-popular BMW G1250 Adventure, this Class 2A license friendly bike might just be your ticket to the adventure and touring world. We've come to realise also that smaller displacement and lighter adventure bikes might also have an advantage over its larger siblings in regions like South-East Asia - with parts, replacements, and maintenance being more affordable as well.

    Slotting itself between the street-going 390 Duke and enduro-ready 350 EXC-F, the 2020 KTM 390 Adventure is a fascinating motorcycle that is impressively versatile. In the wake of the successful 790 Adventure, KTM continues to downsize the ADV experience, and the new 390 Adventure is undoubtedly the most attractive of its Adventure line to those new to the genre. However, the experienced rider will also discover that good things come in small packages.

    Although the 2020 KTM 390 Adventure is off-road capable, its prowess remains road-focused, be it paved or dirt. Keep in mind that this is not an R model. The 390 Adventure has diecast aluminum wheels in a 19-/17-inch pairing, shod with street-oriented Continental TKC 70 tires. Plus, the suspension travel is less than seven inches at each end, and the curb weight is 379 pounds. This is a motorcycle that excels on the street, yet is still capable on the dirt. Yes, it is an ADV motorcycle rather than a dirt bike—no surprise.

    Powering the 390 Adventure is the same muscular single used in the 390 Duke and RC 390. It’s a ride-by-wire short-stroke DOHC mill that loves to rev, with the redline coming at 10,000 rpm. The power comes on extremely smoothly, and without any hits in the powerband. That makes the delivery fully manageable on the dirt, as well as persistent on pavement. The six-speed transmission is matched to an assist-and-slipper clutch, and our test unit had KTM’s optional up/down quickshifter—an essential KTM PowerPart.

    Per KTM custom, the 390 has a steel trellis frame and subframe, along with a lattice swingarm. It all works together to give the 390 Adventure good feel while keeping down the weight. With 26.5 degrees of rake, the motorcycle is stable in all situations, yet the handling is not remotely lethargic. The seat height is a very manageable 33.6 inches, helping the 390 Adventure work well in the dirt, while providing an advantageous view of traffic and scenery on the pavement.

    The ergonomics are pure scaled-down ADV. It’s wider than a dirt bike, but much narrower than larger adventure motorcycles. The seating position works great in all conditions, though the bars feel a tad low when standing—a purely personal preference. Transitions between sitting and standing are occasionally interrupted by the stepped seat hitting the rider in the butt when trying to get back for traction. Other than that, the KTM 390 Adventure does not get in the pilot’s way, and you feel like you dominate the motorcycle, rather than the other way around. Oh, and speaking of standing, the footpegs—with removable rubber inserts—are excellent platforms.
    KTM puts the 2020 390 Adventure in the Travel category, so let’s look at that aspect first. As a lightweight touring motorcycle, the 390 Adventure is impressively competent. Vibration is less than you would expect from a single, and the 390 is fully willing to cruise along at 70 mph with no encumbrances. Should you hit windy areas head-on, or significant grades, the 373cc motor will start to struggle to maintain freeway speeds. Downshifting is the only option, and with it comes noticeable vibration. The 390 Adventure is a compact motorcycle, so it sacrifices full freeway capability. The windshield helps keep the blast off the rider, and it has two positions—but you need a T25 Torx key to move between them.

    Once you find yourself on twisting back roads, the 390 Adventure comes into its own. Continental describes TKC 70 tires as “positioned for light to medium off-road use with extraordinary street performance.” I have no beef with that, as the TKC 70s did everything I asked of them on the pavement, and that included some wet riding. It is a dual-compound tire with more grip on the shoulders, so the 390 holds its own in corners. With light weight, moderate power, traction control, and corner-aware ABS, the demands on the TKC 70s aren’t extraordinary, so the performance is impressive. Handling is intuitive, and whenever a line-change is essential due to debris on the road, the 390 responds without hesitation. Yet, it has no problem holding a line through a corner should that be your desire. This is a low-fatigue travel motorcycle.
    The 3.8-gallon (14.38 litres) fuel tank isn’t obtrusive, and KTM says the 390 Adventure has a range of 267 miles (430 km). That’s a long way, and the predictive range in the dash backs that up. Given the current riding restrictions, we haven’t had a chance to test that yet. Really, the range is going to vary widely, depending on how and where the 390 is ridden. You should be able to ride all the way past Kuala Lumpur and take a stop north of Malaysia's capital city if you are not pushing it and less fuel stops also means that you will be able to reach your destination quicker!
    When  on an adventure motorcycle, the rider’s fancy inevitably turns to dirt. You will probably want to stop when you transition off pavement on the KTM 390 Adventure. Using the no-instructions-needed five-inch TFT display and button array on the left handlebar, you will scroll through the menu to turn off traction control and transition to Offroad ABS (front wheel only). Switching to ABS doesn’t require a stop, but you have to have the throttle off and hold down a button for a seemingly long time to get the traction control to disengage—a light on the dash will remind you. The system will stay in Offroad ABS if you turn the power off, but traction control resets to active when turning the key back to the on position.
    You will quickly be reminded in the dirt that you are on an ADV motorcycle. Those TKC 70s that were so great on the pavement, are just decent in the dirt. Mud and sand don’t do them any favors, though they are perfectly adequate on gravel and recently moisturized dirt. The rear tire is fine, so the front sets the limits of confidence. Also, the wide seat is about ADV riding, not off-road performance. It’s not bad, though you have to be brave to replicate the off-road riding shown in KTM’s promotional material. You will start to notice the weight—light for an ADV motorcycle, certainly, but more substantial than a dual-sport machine. Happiness is knowing your limits, along with the 390’s. In my case, KTM installed the optional engine protection bars, so that was one less thing to worry about.
    The smooth power delivery does help get the 2020 KTM 390 Adventure where you want it to be. Nothing happens quickly on the 390, and that makes it easier to plot and execute moves. I did a bit of smooth single-track riding, and it was fine as long as the smaller-diameter wheels and tires weren’t being tested. With traction control off, you can spin up the rear tire with a hard twist of the throttle, so steering through fire road corners with the back end is front-and-center on the to-do list. The better you get a sense of its limits, the more you can enjoy exploiting them off-road.
    The mostly adjustable WP Apex suspension worked great on the street, but isn’t particularly compliant off-road. The fork has full damping adjustment, but spring-preload is fixed. The shock’s spring-preload can be fine-tuned—most likely if you have a passenger—but it only has rebound-damping adjustability. There is no electronic adjustment, naturally at this price, so any changes between dirt and street are time-consuming. Going with the standard settings that work perfectly well on the street, the suspension does not reward fast off-road riding. G-outs run through the sub-seven-inch travel, and you have to stand up when hitting perpendicular ruts, unless you like to be jarred. As long as it’s not challenged, the suspension action is friendly, so ride within its capabilities.
    The brakes work well in all situations. The radially mounted Bybre caliper and 320mm disc are great for the street, yet not overpowering in the dirt. The Bosch 9.1MP two-channel ABS does a fantastic job of watching over you without being overbearing. I kept waiting for it to annoy me in the dirt in the Offroad ABS mode, but the front wheel never complained—maybe I’m just a smooth braker. On the pavement, it is transparent, as is the traction control, and I was glad to have all those assistants in the rain, even though I never sensed they were active. The rear brake works great, and you get to lock it up in Offroad ABS mode, should the mood direct you. Happily, feel on the rear is great, so it only skids when you want it to.

    A secret weapon in the KTM 390 Adventure’s arsenal is that it is an awesome commuter and urban motorcycle. With the upright seating position and some wind protection, the ergos on the 390 Adventure are perfectly suited to city riding. The 19-inch front wheel and semi-long travel suspension that is just adequate in the dirt, does a great job of minimalizing potholes and dips in the roads. If I’m an urban rider, the 390 Adventure beats the 390 Duke in every category but agility. The Duke excels in the canyons thanks to its shorter suspension, 17-inch wheels, and superior road tires.
    There are plenty of nice touches to the 390 Adventure. In addition to the full-featured TFT display, there’s a 12-volt plug on the dash, and very cool LED lighting. It may be an entry-level ADV motorcycle, but its looks don’t betray that.

    The 2020 KTM 390 Adventure is a versatile motorcycle that rewards owners who are good with boundaries. There are always compromises on ADV motorcycles, and small-displacement motors have their limitations. KTM managed to give the 390 Adventure a strong pavement presence, and enough off-roadability to satisfy most of the buyers. The balance of skills is impressive, and for everyone except the hardcore off-roader, who will have to wait for the 390 Adventure R, the 2020 KTM 390 Adventure satisfies new riders and longtime adventurists alike.

    Yet another limited edition involving the MV Agusta motorcycle brand, this time the RO-NI RMV MV Agusta wristwatch, celebrating MV Agusta’s 75th Anniversary. To be produced in a limited run of 75 units, the RMV is priced at 56,000 euro (SGD91,405) and complements the recently released (and sold out) limited edition 2021 MV Agusta Superveloce 800 Alpine.

    Made from materials used in the production of MV Agusta motorcycles, the RMV uses titanium, 7075 aluminium, carbon-fibre and steel complemented by the use of leather, Alcantara and sapphire to create wearable art. Each hand-made RMV, assembled by a single master horologist, is numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authentication.

    The case for the RMV measures between 44.5 mm to 44.0 mm and is 10.28 mm thick, made from 7075 aluminium alloy which is water resistant to five atmospheres. The same aluminium alloy is also used for the case back and bezel, with a sapphire crystal watch face, giving the RMV a claimed weight of 49 grams.

    For the automatic winding movement, 30.60 mm in diameter with a thickness of 3.9 mm, and assembled out of 144 components and 27 jewels, the power reserve is listed as 48 hours. The dial is made from carbon-fibre with Superluminova hand-finished and engraved indexes with the same composite material used in the suspensions and front-dampers.

    “The RMV may not be for all, as it possibly represents the ultimate luxury in terms of watches, but it perfectly interprets our spirit of excellence and perfection expressed through craftsmanship, beauty and unequalled performance. The lucky few who will own it will possess a piece of our history and of our soul. Forever,” says Timur Sardarov, chief executive officer of MV Agusta.

    Another day, and another incident which could have been avoided. Unfortunately in this case, 2 motorcyclists were involved in this accident which occurred on the 22nd of December 2020 at approximately 1740 hours. The incident happened along the AYE going towards the city just after Corporation Road.

    According to reports on the incident, it was raining at that time and the roads were slippery and due to the rain visibility was also being hampered. Due to traffic building up in front, a motorcyclist was unable to avoid a car due the above situation and unfortunately rear-ended the car in question.
    That was not the end of the situation however, as another biker was coming from behind and due to the accident that just happened seconds before, tried his best to avoid the fallen motorcycle and swerved to his left but stuck the fallen motorcyclist instead.
    The second motorcyclist then ran over the first one and this propelled him and his machine onto the ground. We are unable to see from the video if they are physically okay immediately but we are all praying that our fallen comrades will recover quickly.
    We are sharing this video not to shame the bikers and/or to pinpoint the fault being anyone's, but rather to remind all motorcyclists and bikers to ride safe at all times and to practice defensive riding and be very well aware of your surroundings. Especially towards the end of the year when Singapore enters into the monsoon period and rains are a common sight, it is especially important to maintain a safe following distance and to reduce our speed.
    We will check back in with the involved bikers family and update once we hear back on the situation. The silver lining is that both bikers seem to be wearing full protective gear and hopefully this has gone a long way into ensure their injuries (if any) are kept to a minimum.
    After watching the video below, what do you think about the situation? Could the accident have been avoided by the second motorcyclist? Or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time?

    Hot on the heels of Yamaha launching their Yamaha Motorcycle Connect (Y-Connect) app for the latest models from the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer - Honda has also recently announced their very own version of an app-enabled motorcycle which will allow owners to pair their smartphone to their motorbikes to show information such as messaging, calls, navigation, and even to play music!

    Smartphone connectivity comes to Honda motorcycles in 2021 with the introduction of Honda RoadSync, working with its Smartphone Voice Control Bluetooth module. Like other such applications in the market, such as BMW Motorrad’s ConnectedRide, RoadSync allows communication between the rider’s smartphone and the motorcycle, controlling functions such as phone calls, messaging, navigation and music.

    RoadSync functionality will be available for the Honda X-Adv, CB1000R as well as the Forza 750 in 2021, while the Forza 350 will have it as an extra cost option. Use of RoadSync is via a switch on the handlebar pod and microphone and speakers in the rider’s helmet.
    There are four main functions controlled by RoadSync – navigation, phone calls, messages and music. Each of these functions will be repeated on the instrument panel while in operation.

    For Voice Control, commands will depend on the function selected, such as setting a destination for navigation, though this requires presenting a maximum of five destinations beforehand. This also applies to calls and messages, with five favourite numbers or preset messages entered into the system ahead of time.
    Aside from navigation, RoadSync also displays the weather forecast up to five hours ahead and current weather for the intended destination. Honda’s intent for the RoadSync system is to allow the rider to focus on the ride while still enjoying the functions of smartphone connectivity.

    Let's hope that the Honda version of the app will be available on the Apple Store or Android's Play Store and does not require sideloading an APK like what you need to do for Yamaha's Y-Connect app. Do you think such technology coming to motorbikes is a good sign for the future?

    The Straits Times have launched a dedicated page on their website for motorists love driving and riding but due to the Circuit Breaker restrictions and borders being generally closed, to still be able to enjoy the perks of riding in tiny Singapore. You can visit the Straits Times special page here.

    Riders even more so, are fustrated with the lock down due to our passion for overlanding rides, experience the sights and colours of our neighbours up north in Malaysia and Thailand and in recent weeks, we've seen more and more riders taking to social media to share their "overlanding" trips within Singapore itself.
    Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad famously said this to Singapore drivers in January 2003 when he was Malaysian Prime Minister: “If you like, drive on our roads, which are quite long, in Ferraris – they have Ferraris, you know – because in Singapore, you can’t drive very far.”
    While Singapore’s expressways may not be as long as Malaysia’s, there is more than enough asphalt here to keep both keen and casual drivers happy.
    To share with you just an example of what some local bikers have done, we have a post from Mr Ridhwan Salleh on his trip around Singapore that took him to many local areas which we otherwise might not visit during our daily lives. His mighty Yamaha MT-09 is not just the perfect touring machine for going up north, but even for touring in Singapore as well!

    From Ridhwan himself:
    Check out more of his pictures below and do share with us your overlanding journey in our forums.
