Yamaha RXZ riders urged to avoid street racing

Former national cub prix racer Wazi Abdul Hamid has called on Yamaha RXZ motorcycle owners to demonstrate maturity and refrain from dangerous street racing. He stressed that owners, often adults aged 40 and above, should be capable of controlling their emotions and practicing safe riding habits.

If we look at it, the owners of Yamaha RXZ are not teenagers because they are less capable of owning an RXZ motorcycle. Most owners are older, some are 40 years and above.

Hamid pointed out that RXZ owners are generally not teenagers, as the motorcycle's price, ranging from RM20,000 to RM30,000, makes it unaffordable for younger riders. He stated that these owners, who are often successful individuals with families and responsibilities, need to be more aware of their obligations.

They should be mature. However, based on accidents involving the RXZ, it does not reflect the thinking of a truly mature person.

The former racer highlighted that the risk of accidents escalates significantly during group rides. He explained that in such situations, riders can lose emotional control, leading to speeding and increased accident potential. Hamid emphasized that while group rides and gatherings are not inherently wrong, every rider must act maturely and responsibly, noting that a lack of mutual respect on the road is still prevalent.

When riding in large numbers, mistakes are more likely to happen. The riding pattern is also different compared to riding alone.
