The body panels fit well and the paint finishing is good and it’s obvious Yamaha did not cut any corners here. This intrigued us, because a kapchai this cheap usually means the manufacturer had to make savings somewhere. PG-1 coming with Yamaha’s air-cooled, 115 cc, single-cylinder, two-valve mill. The same unit is used in the Yamaha EZ115 and previously in the Lagenda 115Z. PG-1 up to highway speeds. With 9.0 PS at 7,000 rpm with 9.5 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, we found the PG-1 will reach a maximum speed of 80 km/h on the flat, 83 km/h downhill. On the highway this places you in imminent danger of being run over by a Myvi so it would be best to confine the PG-1 to slower surface roads and secondary kampung roads when riding out of town. What does count in the PG-1’s favour is the engine response and gearbox ratios. Riding along, we found the PG-1’s engine vibration to be at a reasonable level, the engine protesting only when the throttle was wide open. This was also the point when the road vibration from the 50-50 knobby tyres was felt. On the move, there was noticeable road noise from the tyres, putting one in mind of driving a 4WD fitted with mud tyres. The author got used to it after a while but some riders might find it annoying. PG-1 is 16-inches front and rear, with 90/100 knobbies. You might have to do a little hunting to find premium rubber in that size at your corner kapchai dealer. Seat comfort is on the minimal side, with that two-piece seat, covered in hipster brown faux leather, performing acceptably for the first 20 kilometres or so before the rider’s butt begins to feel it. If you’re planning on riding long distance with the PG-1, wear thicker pants or cycling shorts underneath, or find a good seat upholsterer and add padding.
