Lambretta and Thunder Custom have expanded their presence in Malaysia with the opening of a joint showroom in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, bringing the Italian scooter brand and Japanese-inspired custom motorcycle range closer to riders on the East Coast.

Following their official Malaysian debut earlier this year, both brands continue to grow their local dealer networks under Bike Continent, headed by managing director Ronnie Chen.

Officially opened on 7 November 2026, the new showroom is located along Jalan Sultan Ibrahim, Kota Bharu, and operates in partnership with local dealer TKC Motor Shop.

The new outlet provides local riders with a dedicated point of access for both brands’ motorcycles, as well as after-sales support. The expansion also forms part of Lambretta’s ongoing efforts to increase its nationwide service point network.

Through its partnership with TKC Motor Shop, both brands also plan to engage local owners through community activities and riding events, building on Lambretta’s existing following in the East Coast region.

The opening strengthens their dealer presence beyond the Klang Valley and other established markets, giving riders in Kelantan and surrounding areas more convenient access to their respective products and services.

Founded in Milan in 1947, Lambretta is recognised for its distinctive Italian scooter design and heritage. Meanwhile, Thunder Custom combines Japanese custom motorcycle styling with Chinese manufacturing expertise, developed through a collaboration between Japanese custom builder Noro Yuji and Chinese builder Ka-san.

Lambretta’s current Malaysian line-up consists of three models, catering to riders looking for different engine capacities and styling. The range starts with the Lambretta X250GP Speedster, priced at RM24,880. It is followed by the X300 GT, which retails at RM26,800, while the flagship G350 Series II carries a price tag of RM29,800. All prices exclude insurance and road tax.

Thunder Custom’s current Malaysian line-up centres on the LS250-S, a factory-built bobber priced at RM23,788. Power comes from a 249cc fuel-injected V-twin engine producing 17 hp at 8,000 rpm and 19 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission.

The LS250-S is available in two configurations, Softail and Hardtail, and comes with a springer-style front fork, wire-spoke wheels and a 7-litre fuel tank.

The main difference between the two versions lies in their rear suspension setup. The Softail features a rear monoshock, while the Hardtail uses a sprung seat. Both configurations come equipped with ABS as standard.

With the opening of its Kota Bharu showroom, Lambretta and Thunder Custom are looking to strengthen their connection with Malaysian riders while improving access to their motorcycles and after-sales services across the country.
