Sportbikes have always held a special place in the hearts of motorcycle enthusiasts in Malaysia. With their aggressive designs, sporty riding position and fun performance, it’s no wonder this segment continues to be the choice of many riders, whether for daily use or weekend rides.

There are now a variety of sportbike options that are currently on the market. Each model has its own character, whether in terms of performance, technology or price. If you are looking for your first sportbike or want to upgrade from your existing motorcycle, here are five sportbikes that have become among the favorite choices of Malaysians.

1. Yamaha YZF-R15

The Yamaha YZF-R15 is one of the most popular sportbikes in Malaysia, especially among riders who are new to the world of full fairing motorcycles. With a design inspired by the Yamaha YZF-R1, this motorcycle looks sporty and modern, making it hard to believe it’s only a 155cc motorcycle.

Despite using a 155cc single-cylinder engine that produces 19 hp and 14.7 Nm of torque, its performance is enjoyable enough for daily use and weekend rides. Combined with agile handling, Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology and competitive pricing, it’s no wonder the YZF-R15 remains one of the sportbike choices for many Malaysians.

2. Honda CBR250RR

The Honda CBR250RR is the choice of many riders who want a 250cc sportbike with a more premium package. The sharp design of this motorcycle, inspired by Honda’s larger supersport models, gives it an aggressive and modern appearance. Powered by a 250cc parallel-twin engine that produces 42 hp and 25 Nm of torque, this motorcycle is capable of delivering impressive power to make you amazed by it.

Not only does it look attractive, the CBR250RR also comes with various technologies such as Throttle-by-Wire, Quickshifter, Assist & Slipper Clutch, as well as several Riding Modes. Matched with a powerful engine and solid handling, it is one of the most coveted 250cc sportbikes in Malaysia.

3. Yamaha YZF-R25

The Yamaha YZF-R25 has long been a big name in the 250cc sportbike segment. With a combination of sporty design, solid performance and comfortable ergonomics, this model is often the choice for those looking to upgrade from smaller capacity motorcycles.

The engine used is a 249cc parallel-twin engine that produces around 35.5 hp and 22.6 Nm of torque, enough power for daily rides or long trips. In addition, the lightweight chassis and easy handling make the R25 a fun motorcycle to ride through city streets or when you want to take corners.

4. Modenas Ninja 250

The Modenas Ninja 250 is one of the sportbikes that has its own loyal fanbase. The Ninja name is no stranger in the motoring world, and this model continues that reputation by offering a balance between performance, comfort and its own style.

Powered by a 249cc Parallel-Twin engine that produces around 37 hp and 23 Nm of torque, quite responsive and equipped with an aggressive design, the Ninja 250 is able to provide an enjoyable riding experience without feeling too difficult to handle. It is also suitable as a daily motorcycle for those who want a practical sportbike.

5. QJMotor SRK250RR

The QJMotor SRK250RR has been gaining attention among local motorcycle enthusiasts since it was first introduced to the Malaysian market. With a sharp and modern design, this motorcycle looks like a larger capacity sportbike.

Powered by a 249cc twin-cylinder engine that produces around 25 hp and 24 Nm of torque, the SRK250RR offers good enough performance for daily use as well as leisurely weekend rides. Coupled with a competitive price and a variety of modern features, it is an attractive choice for those who want to own a stylish sportbike without having to break the bank.
