Modenas aims high with new bike


SHAH ALAM: Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (Modenas), a DRB-HICOM Bhd unit, expects to sell 65,000 motorcycles in its next financial year ending March 31, 2010 (FY10).

Chief executive officer Abdul Harith Abdullah said he was optimistic about achieving the target despite the current economic downturn, adding that its newly launched 130cc Modenas GT 128 would help boost sales and increase market share.

“The GT 128 looks sporty, is fuel efficient and has a host of attractive features that will appeal to customers. We believe it is a good buy,” he said at the launch of the motorcycle yesterday.

The new product would help Modenas boost its market share to 15% in FY10 from 12% now, he said, adding that it was targeting to sell 2,000 to 2,500 units of the GT 128 per month.

Aimed at customers aged 25 to 35, the GT 128 is priced from RM4,888 and comes in four colours. It boasts a fuel consumption level of 64km per litre.

Of the number of motorcycles Modenas expected to sell in FY10, Harith said 5,000 units would be exported.

He added that the company planned to beef up its export markets within the next three years. Its biggest foreign markets now are Greece and Iran. “We will be focusing on the South-East Asia,” he said.

On the outlook for the local motorcycle market, Harith said he expected the total industry volume to drop 26% to about 400,000 units this year. About 544,000 units were sold last year.

ICare - Futuristic Motorcycle Concept

icare futuristic motorcycle concept

Wow, Oh Wow! This is what I call a futuristic design. A great + cool concept for the unpredicted future. Featuring Japan’s Honda Engine, the 6 Cylinder Flat with 1800 Cm3.

As if this Cool ICare MotorCycle is for sport, it’s equipped with double exhaust pipe right below the comfortable thick foamed seat. It looks a bit heavy though… But who cares? As long as it’s cool, people will sacrifice anything for this motorbike. :)

Alien Design iCare Futuristic motorcycle concept

Frankly, ICare Front side looks like a evil character in all of the comic books. Sharp Eyes, Blacky, Big Headed, etc. Or, I should tell it’s similar to an Alien Shape. Well, guess yourself what it is.

There is some problem though. It seem iCare don’t have any stand to help this motorcycle standing properly. I wonder if the designer forgot to put it, or this ICare motorcycle design is equipped with magnetic field balancing technology. This is something really tickle my curiosity.
