A new name is entering the Malaysian motorcycle market in 2018, GPX Racing, originating from Thailand. Established as a brand in 2007, production of GPX Racing motorcycles started in 2009.
With the construction of a production facility in Prachauthit, Thailand, GPX Racing has now expanded to not only Malaysia, but Cambodia, Philippines and Singapore.
Built to cash in on the current trend for retro cafe racers, the Gentleman 200 carries a 197 cc, four-stroke, air- and oil-cooled single-cylinder mill. GPX Racing did not supply any numbers for the engine, but a figure of 20 hp and 18 Nm or so of torque would not be out of the question.
Fuelling is by carburettor, which is understandable given the budget nature of the Gentleman 200, but it does come shod in Pirelli rubber. Upside-down telescopic forks are used in front, with a monoshock in the rear, and braking is done using twin hydraulic discs on the spoked front wheel.
With styling cues reminiscent of the Ducati Scrambler, the Gentleman 200 sports a Clubman seat, with the rear cowl removable to allow for pillion seating. The cockpit is graced with flat handlebars, and a single gauge contains all the necessary readouts.
