Foshan Offers Three 'Yamaha MT' Style Budget Streetbike Models Starting at RM3.2k!

Some Chinese motorcycle manufacturers have chosen the ‘easy way’ of introducing new motorcycles by cloning popular models on the market, whether Japanese or European brands.

Foshan Muci Motorcycles (Foshan) recently surprised the market by introducing the Foshan MT, which is thought to be similar to the Yamaha MT-15 streetbike.

Among the Yamaha MT-15 designs seen on the Foshan MT are an aggressive body style, LED projector lights in the centre, and matching LED daytime running lights (DRL). In fact, the body curve isn't all that different from the Yamaha model.

Foshan offers three power train options for the MT series, namely 150cc, 200cc and 250cc with power output according to engine capacity as follows:

150cc - 11.39hp, 11.5Nm, maximum speed 100kmj

200cc - 12.8hp, 13.6Nm, maximum speed 110kmh

250cc - 16.7hp, 16.5Nm, maximum speed 125kmj
