2016 Naza N5R
A full-fairing version of the Naza Blade
N5, dubbed the N5R, is said to be entering the Naza showroom as soon as August.
A face-lifted version of the current model N5 naked sportsbike, the N5R comes
with twin headlights and from the pictures we received, appears to come in red
or black.
Carrying a single-cylinder liquid-cooled
249 cc engine that puts out a claimed 28.4 hp at 8,500 rpm and 26.1 Nm of
torque at 7,000 rpm, the N5R’s engine is fed by EFI and drives a six-speed
gearbox. A tubular steel frame ties everything together in a package that
weighs in at 145 kg wet.
Braking is with a single 300 mm disc in
front with a four-piston caliper and a two-piston caliper grabbing the 230 mm
rear disc. Seat height is a rider-friendly 780 mm and an 11-litre fuel tank
rounds out the package.
A source in Naza has said that the 2016
Naza N5R will likely be released “sometime in August” and refused to divulge
details about pricing. The current model Naza N5 retails for RM 9,999.
