For motorcycle enthusiasts in Malaysia, sportbikes represent the perfect combination of speed, agility, and modern styling. Whether you are new to riding or already experienced, the Malaysian market offers a variety of exciting machines to suit different preferences. Below are six of the best sportbikes in Malaysia, complete with horsepower ratings and key highlights.

Best Sportbikes in Malaysia

1. Yamaha YZF-R15

The Yamaha YZF-R15 is one of the most popular entry-level sportbikes in Malaysia. Inspired by the design language of Yamaha’s bigger R-series, this bike is light, agile, and ideal for beginners who want a taste of sport performance. It features a 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces about 18.6 horsepower at 10,000 rpm. With variable valve actuation (VVA) and sporty ergonomics, the R15 strikes a fine balance between daily usability and weekend thrills.

2. Honda CBR150R

Honda’s CBR150R is another strong contender in the entry-level sportbike category. Known for its reliability and refined engineering, the CBR150R offers a 149cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine capable of delivering around 16.9 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. The bike’s aggressive styling, inspired by its larger CBR siblings, blends well with a more comfortable riding position, making it a practical choice for both city commuting and longer rides.

3. Yamaha YZF-R25

For riders who want more performance without stepping into the big bike category, the Yamaha YZF-R25 is an excellent option. Equipped with a 249cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine, it produces an impressive 35.5 horsepower at 12,000 rpm. The R25 carries supersport DNA, offering sharp handling, high-revving excitement, and styling that takes cues from the larger R6 and R1 models. It is perfect for Malaysian riders looking for a thrilling yet manageable sportbike.

4. Suzuki Gixxer SF250

The Suzuki Gixxer SF250 is a well-rounded sportbike that emphasizes both practicality and performance. Powered by a 249cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, it produces around 26.5 horsepower at 9,300 rpm. Unlike some of its high-revving rivals, the Gixxer SF250 delivers smooth mid-range torque, making it suitable for daily rides as well as longer journeys. Its sporty full fairing design and comfortable ergonomics allow riders to enjoy the best of both worlds.

5. Honda CBR250RR

The Honda CBR250RR is often referred to as a “baby superbike” thanks to its advanced features and aggressive styling. It is powered by a 249cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivers about 40 horsepower at 13,000 rpm, making it one of the most powerful bikes in its segment. Honda has equipped the CBR250RR with technologies usually found on bigger machines, such as throttle-by-wire and multiple riding modes. For riders in Malaysia who want cutting-edge performance in a compact package, the CBR250RR is a top-tier choice.

6. Yamaha MT-25

For those who prefer a naked sportbike, the Yamaha MT-25 offers the same exciting performance as the R25 but in a more upright and street-oriented package. It uses the same 249cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine, producing about 35.5 horsepower at 12,000 rpm. The MT-25 combines aggressive streetfighter styling with comfortable ergonomics, making it a great motorcycle for urban commuting while still being capable of handling spirited weekend rides.
