Fast Bikes ends distributor agreement with Triumph in Malaysia, becomes Honda Big Wing Dealer on Jan 14

As of January 14, 2023, Fast Bikes will cease to be the official Malaysian distributor for Triumph motorcycles, subsequently taking on a Honda Big Wing dealership. Accordingly, Motoradic, as exclusive official importer for Triumph, will also relinquish its role.

Fast Bike’s Triumph outlets in Penang, Johor Bahru and Kota Kinabalu will also end operations on that date. A new Triumph motorcycles representative for Malaysia has been appointed but the name has not been officially announced.

For Triumph motorcycles no longer under warranty, Fast Bikes remains available for consultation and advice on service and technical matters. For motorcycles still under warranty, Triumph Motorcycles UK and its official representative in Malaysia will be solely responsible for all terms and conditions.

D-Ford takes human-centric design to the next level

The Hyundai Tucson has proven to be a worthy contender within the mainstream compact crossover segment as its respectable sales figures will reiterate. Having experienced many of the trim levels of the new Tucson from its recent full redesign for the 2022 model year, I fully understand why you see so many on the road.

The new 2022 Hyundai Tucson is a decent vehicle out on the road with a comfy ride that’s easy to navigate. The one downfall remains to be its powertrain’s power output being a little sluggish from the onset. However, once things get moving and you become adapted to how the Tucson performs without having high expectations, things are rather agreeable for most and the purpose such a vehicle serves.
