Riding a motorbike to work is no longer just an option, but a necessity for many Malaysians, especially those who are living in congested areas like Penang. With traffic conditions getting more congested every day, motorbikes can help to save travel time, reduce fuel consumption, and make finding parking easier.
However, not all motorcycles are suitable for daily use. Some are more comfortable for long trips, some are more fuel efficient, and some offer a balance between performance and practicality. If you are looking for a motorcycle to commute to work, here are the Top 5 commuter motorcycles that are available at iMotorbike Penang.
1. Yamaha MT-15
If you want a sporty motorcycle that is still comfortable for everyday use, the Yamaha MT-15 is one of the best choices. Powered by a 155cc VVA engine that produces around 19 hp and 14.7 Nm of torque, this motorcycle has enough power for use in the city or on the highway.
The more upright riding position compared to a sportbike makes the MT-15 more comfortable to ride during daily commutes. Its compact size and light weight also make it easy to squeeze through tight traffic. For those who want a combination of style, performance and comfort, the MT-15 is a hard choice to resist.
2. Yamaha Y16ZR
For fans of high-performance kapcai motorcycles, the Yamaha Y16ZR certainly needs no introduction. This motorcycle uses a 155cc VVA engine that produces around 17.7 hp and 14.4 Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed transmission with assist and slipper clutch.
Despite its impressive performance, the Y16ZR still retains the characteristics of a practical motorcycle. Its light weight and small size make it very easy to handle when navigating traffic jams. If you want a motorcycle that can be used for commuting but is still fun to ride on the weekends, the Y16ZR is the right choice.
3. Honda ADV 160
If comfort is your priority, the Honda ADV 160 is one of the best scooters to choose from. It is powered by a 157cc eSP+ engine that produces around 15.8 hp and 14.7 Nm of torque, providing smooth power and economical fuel consumption.
What makes the ADV 160 so suitable for everyday use is the relaxed riding position, large under-seat storage space and a suspension system that is more comfortable than most scooters on the market. The journey to work becomes more relaxed, especially if you have to travel long distances every day. It is made even easier with the spacious storage space that makes it easy to carry a work bag or store a helmet when you arrive at your destination.
4. Modenas Z 250
For those looking for a naked motorcycle with a sportier style, the Modenas Z250 is a very attractive option. Powered by a 249cc parallel-twin engine that produces around 37 hp and 23 Nm of torque, this motorcycle offers more powerful performance than a kapcai motorcycle or scooter, but is still easy to handle for everyday use.
Despite its higher power, the Z250 is still comfortable to ride to work. The more upright riding position compared to the Ninja makes it more comfortable when riding through traffic, while its balanced weight makes it easier to control when cutting through busy roads. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) also provides extra confidence when braking, especially in the rain or in emergency situations. If you want a motorcycle that can provide a balance between performance, style and comfort for your daily commute, the Kawasaki Z250 is a hard choice to pass up.
5. Modenas Kriss 110
If you’re looking for a truly cost-effective motorcycle, the Modenas Kriss 110 is one of the most practical options. Powered by a 110cc engine that is known for its very low fuel consumption, this motorcycle is perfect for those looking to cut down on their daily commute costs.
Despite its simple specifications, the Kriss 110 is known for its durability, low maintenance costs and easy availability of spare parts. Its small size also makes it easy to maneuver in traffic and find parking. For those who just want a reliable motorcycle that they can ride every day without having to worry about maintenance costs, the Modenas Kriss 110 is hard to beat.
