Modenas Versys 650 SE (RM43.6K) and Kawasaki Z900RS SE (RM73.3K) unveiled
By CARSIFU | 23 September 2024SHAH ALAM: Motosikal Dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (Modenas), a subsidiary of DRB-Hicom Bhd, has launched two exciting models: the Modenas Versys 650 SE and the Kawasaki Z900RS SE.
Both the Versys 650 SE and Z900RS SE will be available at all Kawasaki All-Star dealers starting in October 2024.
Modenas Versys 650 SE
The CKD Modenas Versys 650 SE has recommended selling prices (without insurance and road tax) of RM43,600 (Metallic Spark Black) and RM44,200 (Candy Lime Green / Metallic Flat Spark Black).
With limited units available, the new Versys 650 SE is the ultimate touring companion, equipped with a 56-litre quick-release pannier system that offers ample storage for long getaways while preserving the bike's dual-purpose capabilities.
A hassle-free feature, the panniers use the same key as the ignition, eliminating the need for a separate key.
The panniers are designed to accommodate most full-face helmets and attach seamlessly to the handgrips and footrests.
When removed, they provide a sleek, sporty appearance.
With a mounting width of 93 cm, the bike remains ideal for high-speed cruising.
Available exclusively in Malaysia, this special edition retains the proven performance of the previous model, powered by a 649cc parallel-twin engine that delivers smooth power for both city commutes and long-distance touring.
"This special edition model reflects our commitment to delivering motorcycles with enhanced functionality," said Yusaku Kashiwagi, chief marketing officer of Modenas.
Kawasaki Z900RS SE
The CBU Kawasaki Z900RS SE has a recommended selling price (without insurance and road tax) of RM73,300 (Metallic Flat Spark Black / Metallic Matte Carbon Gray).
Paying homage to the iconic Z1, this motorcycle captures the spirit of old-school bikes while seamlessly integrating contemporary features.
Notably, it features an Öhlins S46 rear shock—a hallmark of quality construction — that enhances grip and contributes to a suppler ride feel.
The front suspension has been fine-tuned to complement the new rear shock, and a remote preload adjuster allows easy customization for tandem riding or luggage.
Eye-catching gold-colored fork outer tubes match the Öhlins rear shock, adding to the bike’s allure.
And when it comes to stopping power, the Z900RS SE doesn’t disappoint: it boasts 300mm Brembo front discs and M4.32 radial-mount monobloc calipers.
