    Legendary Ducati rider Paul Smart, 78, has sadly passed away after being involved in a road traffic accident.

    The former British Grand Prix rider was best known for winning the Imola 200 with Ducati, with the Italian marque releasing a special Paul Smart 1000LE in 2006 in honour of Paul’s victory. Paul also enjoyed success with the likes of Suzuki, Triumph, Kawasaki and Yamaha before he retired in 1978.

    Paul’s son, Scott Smart, is FIM Technical Director in WorldSBK and a former British Superbikes race winner.
    A statement from Paul’s family said:
    RIP legend.

    Motorcycle (and scooter) manufacturers are taking their designs and feature cues in their new scooter models further from the norm and putting more power and features packed within a wildly designed bodyshell as they see more riders move into the scooter segment for easier maintenance, lower pricing than their Class 2 counterparts, as well as an automatic transmission for ease of use.

    If you ask anyone what's the wildest and most hyped up scooter they can think of now, they'll probably point you in the direction of the Italjet Dragster, and that's one mean looking beast. The Italjet Dragster has almost no body panels, exposing its trellis frame and shouting "RACE" even when standing still. It is one of the most extreme scooters that we have seen in recent time, and that is exactly who this scooter has been designed for. No corners were cut and top-end parts such as Brembo calipers, Pirelli tires come stock on the Italjet Dragster.

    What's more exciting than that is, very soon, there will be quite a few of these Dragster running around our little sunny island, courtesy of Italjet's exclusive distributor - Scooter Narcotics. We can't wait to get our hands on a test bike and if our intel is correct, the first few models should be homologated soon and be legal for use on our roads.
    The Italian firm revealed the unconventional four-stroke twist-and-go in both 125cc and 200cc guises back in late 2019 and claim to have taken thousands of orders worldwide since.

    Initially due for release last year, a global pandemic and stringent Euro5 emissions rules saw the firm push deliveries back into 2021 – with all bikes now getting a larger 200mm front disc (up from 175mm), ABS (early 125s used combined brakes instead) and suspension components from Paioli.
    There is also a limited edition model which has been completely sold out even before deliveries so you're out of luck if you wanted to get your hands on the limited gold colourway.

    If this scooter is something that tickles your fancy, be sure to reach out to Scooter Narcotics today to book a test ride and your reservation, and do check back on SingaporeBikes.com for our first look and review!

    If there's one motorcycle that we've been excitedly waiting to review for 2021, something that promises to be a game-changer, then the Kymco KRV180 from Taiwanese manufacturer Kymco would be just the scooter that we've been waiting for. Although if you're a biker looking to purchase a new scooter in the Class 2B segment, you would be more than spoilt for choice as they are over 10 models to choose from, and for a brand to differentiate itself from the competitors is no easy feat.

    When we heard about the KRV180 late last year, what got us excited was that the approach that Kymco has taken to launch this brand new model, is to take what was already in the market, replicate the best practices and features that most riders already love, and make it that much better. The uniqueness of the KRV180, from its independent rear swingarm (a first for any Class 2B scooters), to sequential LED indicators front and rear, Bosch ABS all around, and a separated internal and external belting system, were all something that you don't often or never see on a Class 2B scooter. What topped it off was the 175.1cc liquid-cooled FI engine that pushes out 12.3kW of power and 15.68Nm of torque, putting it well above the rest of its competitor in this space.

    Read on more below to find what what we think about the Kymco KRV180, and our initial thoughts and impressions after spending 3 days, 180km, and a whole lot of rainfall while reviewing this scooter.

    Outlooks & Design of the Kymco KRV180
    When we first saw renderings of the KRV180, this is unlike any scooter in the market currently. While most scooters cater to the economical commuter and thus have softer designs, rounded body panels and a more time tested design, we can't help but wonder if designers had their free hand to design a scooter that would appeal to a more motorsports driven scooter, what would it look like? This idea has manifested itself in the Kymco KRV180.

    The bold design, sharper angles and beautiful LED lighting all around have given a look to the KRV180 of one that exudes sportiness, looking fast while being stationary, and when you add the modifications into the mix, you can create a scooter that you truly call your own. Days gone by of when you tell people you ride a boring old scooter are now in the past as if we dare say, this is one menacing looking beast. As the interest in scooters becomes ever more prevalent as commuters look towards more economical ways of travelling, motorcycle brands are now trying to take the design of scooters to the next level and we think the only other one that comes close would be the new and incoming - Italjet Dragster.
    The KRV180 has smart badging all round the scooter to let people know this isn't just any ordinary scooter, the "Type S" badge on its rear quarter shows off the sportiness aspect of the scooter, and the 3 colour options that are available makes certain that there is a KRV180 suitable for everybody. Local agent Motorsport Pte Ltd feels that the Blue option would be the most popular but if we'd have our pick - the Black model with Gold rims is definitely our choice.

     
    The exposed rear half of the scooter also gives a peek into the thought and design that has gone into the technical aspect of the KRV180. Red rear coil springs, an independent rear swingarm like those you find on the Kymco AK550 or Yamaha TMax, and a beautifully crafted exhaust that makes us think there isn't any need to buy an aftermarket one (more on that later). All in all, we think Kymco has designed the KRV180 to be a smart little package, a pocket rocket if you will that will stand out from the rest of the NMaxes and PCXes.
    Engine, Technicals & Power of the KRV180
    When we collected the KRV180 from Motorsport Pte Ltd's showroom, at first twist, we knew this was something quite different from most other scooters we've tested. The 175.1cc 4 valve engine delivered power very smoothly, and instantly you could feel that was a lot of torque and the little rocket was rearing to go. What we like for daily riding (shoutout to our delivery riders) was that there was little to no slack in the throttle controls, and that the powerband was very consistently throughout the whole rev range. You know that hesitation as you move off the line after coming to a stop? It's not there with the KRV180.

    The first modification for any Class 2B motorcycle would usually be a set of bar-end balancers because when you push a 155cc engine above 90km/h, everything starts vibrating and shaking. We found no need for a set of aftermarket bar-end balances on the KRV180 because of its larger displacement resulting in a more balanced and stable right. Power throughout is sufficient, and because of its capacity advantage it has over its rivals, there is definitely more 'omph' versus riding something in the 150-160cc category.
    What really impressed us however, was the stock exhaust system that came on the Kymco KRV180. Starting the scooter for the first time we were pleasantly surprise when the engine came to life as it gave out a deep burble, and had sufficient volume so that you know what you have here is no any run of the mill scooter that you take to the market. We'd go as far as to say that the stock system on the KRV180 sounds even better than some aftermarket exhaust systems on the market. This is another way that you can save some money and use it instead for other modifications.

    Close up look at the exhaust system and the CVT belt-drive system. We like those red touches.
    Kymco has also focus on making sure that the maintenance of the scooter is easy as they come with average service intervals, and the Japanese made belts for both the CVT system and they drive train have a replacement mileage of 20,000km and 50,000km respectively. This is another big different from both scooters as it uses a dual-belt drive system so as to have a longer useful life for the belting systems. It also looks like it means business as you have a hidden belt compartment on the right side of the scooter, and an exposed drivebelt system on the left side of the scooter.
    Handling & Riding Impressions of the Kymco KRV180
    One thing that we noticed right off the bat is the enormous wheelbase of the Kymco KRV180. This is a result of the KRV180 being the first scooter under the 200cc category to employ an independent rear swingarm from the likes of much bigger capacity scooters in the market. This is actually one of the most prominent feature that sets the KRV180 apart from the rest as the changes in the riding dynamics that have resulted from this is very obvious in the day to day riding that we did.

    Check out that wheelbase & the rear independent swingarm!
    You know how the first 'major' modification for most scooter riders would be to change out the rear shock of their scooter as the ride quality from factory is usually very harsh and jarring when going through uneven terrain or potholes? We didn't have any issues here at all. In fact, we specifically tried looking for uneven bumps in the road to test out the suspension to the limit but were unable to replicate any hard knocks as the "Kymco Suspension System (KSS)" just soaked it all up like a magic carpet ride. Although priced at a premium, the Kymco engineers sure knew what they were doing when they decided to put an independent rear swingarm on a 175.1cc scooter. Here's yet another part that you can save money on not having to go the aftermarket route!
    On the handling aspect, the longer wheelbase also translated into smoother and more 'flowing' turns into corners and although the rain did not stop during our test ride, the bike felt very planted without any twitchiness. One offsetting factor of a longer wheelbase however is the turning radius of the scooter. While slightly widest than most, it is still very well acceptable within the range.

    The sidestand is placed close to the front half of the KRV180 with the main stand being towards the rear
    The other area of focus when we put over 180km on the bike was to test the build quality. Most bikers in Singapore has always been very weary of scooters produced outside of Japan, due to its reliability issue, lack of aftermarket parts, as well as build quality. Going through bumps and the general roughness of the road did not rattle anything loose, we were not able to hear any squeaks or rattling, and pushing on the body panels the gaps and tolerances were on par to any top tier brands. This is certainly very impressive as even on the Japanese brands' budget scooters, you'd often hear rattles and have loose panels on their scooters.
    The Kymco KRV180 is completely built and assembled in Taiwan, using the Bosch ABS system and all belting on the bike is from Japan. For a further peace of mind, Motorsport Pte Ltd is giving a full 12 months warranty with any new scooter purchase.

    Check out those brakes! (rotors are aftermarket)
    The one thing that we thought could be improved was that the windscreen (or lack thereof) of the KRV180 is extremely low, similar to the Yamaha Aerox 155. And with the speeds that this scooter can reach, there is a certain amount of wind resistance that could be mitigated with an aftermarket windscreen. This could be another modification to consider if you're going to be taking the KRV180 on long rides or journey up North when the border reopens.
    Technology & Features of the Kymco KRV180
    The last aspect that we focused on, and this was also a big talking point during the KRV180's press release, is the sheer amount of technology being thrown into the mix here. Have you ever wondered in 2021 why some motorcycles still come with Halogen lights? We did. But with the Kymco KRV180, there was really nothing to fault (well ok maybe except it's pricier than other Class 2B scooters).
    Just to give you an idea, here's a full list of tech and features that comes with the KRV180 Type S being imported into Singapore:
    Full LED lighting system all around Sequential LED turn signals front and rear Dual LED screen console on dashboard Bosch ABS front and rear Traction control system Keyless entry and start/stop with security button USB charging port comes standard LED light within underseat storage
    Underseat storage sufficient for 1 helmet, with LED lighting (DVR not included)

    Keyless system, coffee hook, and USB charging unit with a deep usable pocket
    All the features are very intuitive and easy to get to, and we've not had any faults in our 3 days of riding the scooter.
    One standout point for us while testing the KRV180 at night was its headlights. My goodness the sheer clarity, distance, and brightness of the headlights was something we've almost never seen before. The symmetry and cutoffs were sharp and not glaring to other road users. Enough of us talking about this - let us show you the pictures.

    When Honda unveiled the City Adventure concept bike at the 2015 EICMA show in Milan it was frankly confusing—the firm didn’t reveal any specs or information alongside the bike, nor did it try to justify the existence of a machine that attempted to bridge the yawning gap between adventure bikes and scooters.

    So when that concept became a production reality a year later as the 745cc, parallel-twin-powered X-ADV, combining NC750 underpinnings with those urban-adventure looks and a surprisingly high spec and high price, it was even more of a surprise. Now the X-ADV is in its second generation and a success in Europe, despite costing 45 percent more than the NC750X adventure bike that shares the same engine.

    The Honda ADV150, which is a mini ADV750 if you will and competes in the very crowded Class 2B scooter segment, has grown to become on of the most popular scooters here in Singapore due to its rugged good looks, higher ground clearance. Now the Japanese firm is planning to launch a third “ADV” model: the ADV350. Having filed trademark applications for the “ADV350″ name earlier this year, Honda now has model type approval in Europe, and the resulting documents give us the first glimpse of genuine specifications for the bike. We expect the Honda ADV350 to arrive in Singapore soon and it will go up against the likes of the XMax 300, Forza 350 (which it shares a lot of similar parts with), and other middleweight scooters. 

    Mechanically, unsurprisingly, the ADV350 will employ the Forza 350 scooter’s 330cc single and much of the Forza’s chassis. Honda
    has shorten route to production and increased cost efficiencies by using the Honda’s Forza 350 as its base, carrying over the same 330cc single-cylinder engine and twist-and-go transmission. There’s no change in performance in the transplant, with Honda’s documents showing a peak power of 29 hp at 7,500 rpm.

    The chassis, too, appears likely to be borrowed from the Forza 350, as most of the dimensions are close to those of the conventional scooter model. The ADV350′s wheelbase is fractionally longer at 1,520mm (59.9 inches) instead of 1,510mm (59.5 inches), which is likely to be the result of larger, off-road-style wheels and tires instead of the Forza’s 15-inch front, 14-inch rear combo. Weight is similarly up a fraction, going from the Forza’s 406 pounds to 410 pounds. A second version of the ADV350 has also been approved with the same physical dimensions, but a weight of 415 pounds, suggesting it features extra equipment as standard.

    What the Honda ADV350 could look like fully kitted out
    The ADV350′s overall length, at 86.6 inches, is a fraction longer than the 84.5-inch Forza, again probably due to the larger wheels. It’s also wider at 35.2 inches across instead of 29.7 inches, pointing at broader bars, but even though it’s sure to have more ground clearance than the Forza, the ADV350 is lower at the top of its screen, which can be adjusted to give a height range from 51 inches to 56.3 inches. In comparison, the Forza sits 59.3 inches tall.

    Another modified version of the Honda ADV350
    Honda’s strategy with current ADV models is now complete for all the licenses classes in Singapore, with the ADV150 catering to the Class 2B riders, the ADV350 catering to the Class 2A riders, and the X-ADV750 catering to the Class 2 riders. For those of you currently riding the ADV150, will this 330cc single cylinder engine be a worthy upgrade? Let us know in the comments section below!

    SINGAPORE: Electric motorcycle numbers in Singapore look set to increase, though there are still hurdles in making their adoption here more widespread, observers say. 
    A decade ago, there were eight electric motorcycles on the roads here, according to data from the Land Transport Authority (LTA). By 2015, however, this number had dipped to two and remained stagnant for several years. 
    As the country looks set to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040, electric motorcycle numbers are slowly rising once again. 
    Latest LTA figures show that there are now five electric motorcycles registered here as of the end of August. 
    This comes a little over a year after regulations were amended to allow electric motorcycles with power ratings of more than 10kW on the roads. Motorbikes with a top speed of 50kmh and above will also be allowed on expressways.  
    One of the newly registered electric motorcycles is an Energica Eva EsseEsse 9+, which is being sold here by authorised distributor Ifnyi. The firm currently offers three models of Energica bikes, with prices between S$69,000 and S$84,000.
    Read our review of the Energica Eva EsseEsse 9+ here:
    Ifyni’s co-founders are Mr Randall Lee, who heads a software firm, and Mr Eugene Mah, managing director of Mah, which distributes motorbike brands such as Triumph and Aprilia.

    Randall Lee, co-founder of electric motorcycle distributor Ifyni, with the Energica Eva EsseEsse 9+.
    The novelty of the Energica is drawing a lot of interest from motorcycle enthusiasts, said Mr Lee, noting several have already come forward for test rides of the Eva EsseEsse 9+. 
    “Energica is one of the really cool brands on the market,” said Mr Lee, noting the company’s role as supplier for electric motorcycle racing competition MotoE. 
    “It’s like a Ferrari on the road, a brand new Ferrari. Everybody wants to ride it."
    Mr Lee told CNA the firm has already sold three Energica motorbikes, and plans to bring in 10 of the Italian-made electric two-wheelers by the end of the year.
    Check out the models from Energica that are soon arriving on our shores:
    The company also distributes IONA RAP, the three-wheeled electric motorcycles that Singapore Post is testing as part of its shift towards electric vehicles. 
    “Electric motorcycles offer the benefits of zero tailpipe emissions and are noiseless,” said Mr Satya Ramamurthy, global co-head of public transport at KPMG.
    Electric motorcycles generate about 10.7g of CO2 per kilometre, said Mr Ramamurthy, assuming the electricity used to charge the vehicles is generated from natural gas. In comparison, an internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart would release four times the CO2, at 43.59g per kilometre. 
    A study by McKinsey in October last year valued the global market for electric motorcycles at US$97 billion, or about 4 per cent of global auto sales.
    The consultancy firm suggested this could reach US$150 billion by next year, with the largest growth expected in emerging markets.
    Electric motorcycles provide a very promising alternative in the larger two-wheeler markets in ASEAN such as Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia, said Mr Ramamurthy. In Singapore, however, there is less demand due to perceived safety concerns over the two-wheelers. 
    The number of electric motorcycles registered locally pales in comparison to that of electric cars. 
    As of end-August, there were 1,855 electric cars on the roads here. In comparison, there are just five electric motorcycles – making up just 0.004 per cent of the local motorcycle population. 
    One reason is cost, with an electric motorbike priced at more than double that of an ICE equivalent. 
    This is coupled with the relatively scarce number of charging points across the island, which could lead to a sense of “range anxiety” for potential buyers, said Mr Ramamurthy.
    “Furthermore, major producers in the motorcycle sector have not pushed hard enough on the electrification agenda to give rise to an ecosystem matching that of electric cars,” he said.
    “While key manufacturers have started producing electric motorbikes, the entire electric-bike ecosystem still lags behind the electric car market.”
    Though traditional motorcycle manufacturers such as Honda and Harley Davidson have ventured into producing electric alternatives, there has been no word as to whether these will be made available in Singapore.

    This article was first published on Today Online.

    SINGAPORE — For several months, Goh Zi Zhao avoided having to pay parking fees for his car on hundreds of occasions by using the modified in-vehicle unit (IU) of his motorcycle, which he had bought a season parking permit for.
    By the time the authorities caught wind of Goh’s illegal actions, he had evaded about S$3,400 in fees to be paid to the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
    Drivers use stored-value cards in the IUs that are installed in motor vehicles to pay for parking fees. Each IU has a unique serial number and motorcycles are issued with a different type of IU compared to cars.

    Current variant of the ERP units for Motorcycles, which are slimmer and smaller sized than its car counterpart
    Goh, now aged 41, was sentenced to three months’ jail on Tuesday (Oct 19) after pleading guilty to one charge each of cheating HDB and replacing his IU without authorisation.
    Two other such charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.
    When Goh committed the offences between Sept 2, 2018 and May 21, 2019, he had purchased a valid season parking permit for his motorcycle that cost S$20 a month. 
    He did not buy a similar concessionary season parking ticket for his car, a Toyota Alphard.

    A Toyota Alphard can cost upwards of S$200,000 brand new
    MADE FULL RESTITUTION
    The court heard that he used two different methods to commit his offences.
    He first replaced his car’s IU with the motorcycle’s, which he had modified by connecting it to an external battery. He put this IU in his car before exiting car parks to avoid paying for parking fees.
    He had begun researching online forums in 2017 to find do-it-yourself methods to connect his motorcycle’s IU to external batteries, due to problems with the IU’s built-in batteries. He then noticed that his replacement IU came with detachable clips.
    His second modus operandi involved a “more stable” method of adhering the modified IU to his car’s dashboard. 
    He then kept the car’s IU in a particular location to avoid it being detected by the gantries, before entering and exiting car parks.
    After several rounds of trial and error, he managed to work out these methods.
    In September 2018, HDB’s car park vendor, ST Electronics (Info-Comm Systems), was auditing the Electronic Parking System records for the multi-storey car park at Block 603A Senja Road when it noticed Goh’s car had numerous entry records but no exit records.

    MSCP of 603A Senja Road, where the alleged offence took place
    Upon reviewing closed-circuit television cameras at the various entry and exit points of the car park, the vendor observed that Goh had driven his car out on each occasion but the corresponding IU number recorded was that of his motorcycle.
    A HDB employee then lodged a police report on May 10, 2019.
    Eleven days later, police officers went to the multi-storey car park and approached Goh upon seeing him drive in. They found the modified IU on the car’s floorboard.
    He had evaded parking fees amounting to S$3,362 at HDB car parks on 545 occasions and fees of S$65 for URA car parks on 21 occasions.
    In sentencing Goh, Principal District Judge Victor Yeo called his offences sophisticated and difficult to detect, but noted that he had made full restitution to HDB and URA. 
    It was clear that he would have gone on if he was not caught, the judge added.
    Goh could have been jailed for up to three years or fined, or punished with both, for cheating.
    Those convicted of replacing an IU installed in a motor vehicle without authorisation can be jailed for up to a year or fined up to S$2,000, or both.

    A motorcyclist has been told to park his bike somewhere else in a public car park in Pasir Ris as the lot he was occupying was another motorcyclist's personal favourite lot.
    This privatisation of public property incident was shared on Facebook on Oct. 11.
    The public multi-storey car park is located at Block 757A Pasir Ris Street 71.

    Note stuck on motorcycle
    One of the photos put up showed a note left behind on a motorcycle to inform the rider that the lot and the ones beside it were personal favourite lots utilised by "permanent owners".
    The note, which was left on a motorcycle with a P-plate and assumed to be new to the area, read:

    This suggested that the space in the public car park has been reserved by other motorcyclists who are believed to be season parking holders and residents in the estate.
    No other information was provided on the note to justify the claiming of ownership of a public space.
    It is understood that vehicle owners are entitled to park at any available lot in a public car park, as long as it is available.
    Area decorated with stickers
    However, another photo showed the area around the lots have been personalised with a clock and stickers, suggesting long-time users have transformed the space into their own by customising it.

    Responses
    Responses to the post have been sarcastic and biting, with multiple suggestions of reporting the antics of the long-time users of the lots to the authorities for defacement of public property.
    One commenter suggested jokingly that the long-time users of the lots should spray paint their vehicle licence plate numbers on the ground to demarcate permanently and show their resolve that the lots are off-limits to others.
    Others said such sense of entitlement was probably cultivated over a long period of time, with no other motorist stepping in to insist that public property usage is open to all on a first-come first-serve basis.
    Particularly grating was the claim that there was no other parking lot to park at because the P-plate motorcycle had occupied one lot in a multi-storey car park.
    What do you think? Is the biker correct in not allowing others to park in his "private" parking spot? Or should we practice graciousness and live and let live. Let us know in the comments section below!
