Sepeda motor Jerman, "Sachs MadAss 125" memasuki pasar Indonesia dengan target pasar anak muda yang menyukai sepeda motor berdisain sporty dan futuristik.

"Tipe motor ini telah mencetak angka penjualan luar biasa di pasar Eropa, Australia, AS, serta di beberapa negara Asia seperti Thailand, Filipina, Vietnam, Malaysia, sehingga kami yakin akan mencetak kesuksesan yang sama di Indonesia," kata Direktur SACHS Fahrzeug-und Motorentechnik GmbH (Sachs Germany), Hartmut Hühn, di Jakarta, Senin (28/4).

Sepeda motor tersebut akan diproduksi perusahaan otomotif Indonesia, PT Minerva Motor Indonesia (MMI), yang telah resmi melakukan kerjasama joint manufacturing dan co-branding dengan Sachs Germany.

Kerjasama tersebut ditandatangani oleh Chief Executive Officer (CEO) PT MMI Kristianto Goenadi serta Hartmut Hühn pada saat peluncuran sepeda motor yang di Indonesia akan disebut dengan nama merk "Minerva Sachs MadAss 125". "Dengan kerjasama joint manufacturing dan co-branding ini maka pihak Sachs Germany akan memberikan dukungan teknis, baik untuk pengembangan mesin maupun proses manufaktur kepada PT Minerva," kata Kristianto.

  Good Points: Super cool looks, quality parts, good gearbox, super brakes front and rear, strong suspension front and rear.
  Bad Points: No fuel gauge, short seat.
  General comments: I don't own one of these I was coming from work with my mountain bike and saw this bike parked. I had to turn around. What was that a trial? an old bike restored? A custom built bike? I had to turn back to see it. I stood there looking at it trying to understand what type of bike it was sure looks Funky and definitely not chinese stuff cause all parts look of good quality. Then it's owner shows up and there we are talking about the bike he had just bought it 2nd hand and was showing the bike to a friend.I went round and round the bike and he realised that I'm a two wheel person and there he goes he offers me to try it believe me I was dying to. 1st gear and take off wow what a feel it's really agile did a uturn in 1mtr gears down to 1st again slipped the clutch and the bike went wheelie then hit the gas up till 4th gear and hit the brakes hard and nearly flew of the bike. That's one hell of german quality bike I thanked the guy for letting me ride it and back on my mountain bike to home. First thing I did was to visit sachs website to know more about this bike and it's creators.Well if you need a cool looking bike that looks like no other bike with great economy and handles like a bmx this is the bike for you.

  You need an open faced motorcycle helmet to ride this one and answer the questions. I am buying a second one based on handling etc as the first one has had some issues as above and it is very frustrating but the bike is Fun Cheap and handles very well.

  Rated a good looking bike. Look like no other, reminds me the dax 70 from the early 80's. Assemble like a Japanese or European bike. Good components.

  Sachs Madass 125 is a brilliant fun first bike with radical minimalist design. Miles more going for it than most plastic fantastic scooters. Cheap to buy new too. Incorrect gearing can be made much better by replacing 16 tooth front sprocket with 18 tooth equivalent. This makes all four gears much taller without loss of acceleration and increases top speed to 65mph but a fifth gear would have been nicer.

  The Sachs Madass 125 is a nice bike for beginner, for go to work, for town trip and for fun. I made a trip in country 300km long and was very fun, no problem on hill road (have a lot of power) in 4 gear. Cheap Good engine (old Honda engine copy) small power but long life Very good head light Nice Sachs sock absorber in front (too strong in rear) Pay attention in 1-st gear go on one well. If you need more then 50cc scooter buy one.

  A very nice bike... which is a joy to ride, gets lots of attention and delivers performance. I liked it a lot! I still do. With a rucksack any lack of luggage space is easily overcome.

  I use this bike to go to work. Save a lot of money for petrol. And it's been 7 months now (2500 km already) no trouble at all. Average of $4.50 a week for fuel. At night no worries the light is so bright. What I really like to this bike are the disc brakes which are very reliable. You won't regret buy one.

  So far so good, only done 600km but she is loosening up nice. At first I found 4th gear a bit low and kept looking for 5th. But now used to it, didn't buy it for cruising freeways. For around town it's perfect. Haven't spent for than $4.40 petrol in a week so far. Riding at night is a total blast..lights work as good as they look. Sachs Madass 125... I'm into it!

  Bought this bike for transport to work. Bike starts easily and is fun to ride. The gearbox is a great little unit - No missed gears, and neutral is a breeze to find with no "false ones" in between. Fuel consumption is excellent... first filling worked out at 132 mpg (imp) ... second filling .. 114 mpg (imp)... so, you can expect more than 100 mpg from this little engine. Oil changing is a breeze... 17mm drain plug (should have had a magnet though) is easy to get to, and the fill/dipstick port ...

  My wife actually emailed me a piccie of it after mentioning I wanted to buy a new scooter for getting to and from work. At first I thought it looked weird, but after seeing it in the flesh, I had to have one. After test-riding the 50cc automatic model, I knew it wasn't for me only because it was so under-powered, so when the sales person mentioned a 125cc manual version was being released onto the market within three months, I put my name down for one there and then. I certainly wasn't disappoin ...

  Fun, Fun, Fun! - I'm not too sure how it would go as an everyday commuter but to just ride around town and fetch the milk and paper from the local shop this thing is a blast. It keeps up with the traffic no problem and is ultra maneuverable when the time comes to park it (inside the house) - I guess time will tell about any reliability issues.

  The Sachs Madass 125 motorbike is overloaded with things like air intake ducting and exhaust chroming. There is a 110cc available by Hawk that has an all over black carbon look, which is better value for my money. Ensure you only use mineral oil NOT synthetic. I would like to see a top box accessory and a tinted screen.

Sachs,… pabrikan motor di Jerman yang berdiri sejak tahun 1886 ini,… telah memasukkan salah satu productnya yaitu Sachs MadAss 125…!!! Pabrikan motor kedua terbesar setelah BMW ini… bakalan diperhitungkan di Indonesia… !!! Ini product Jerman bung… yaagh gue telah lama mengenal karakter orang Jerman… intinya adalah product yang dikeluarkan sangat diperhatikan mengenai kualitas…!!! Das ist ja typisch Deutsch (.. yaa gitu deegh Jerman banget red.)…!!! Anyway, Sachs MadAss 125 ini menggunakan engine 120cc, 4 stroke, dan sanggup mengeluarkan power sebesar 8.1 HP pada 8400RPM…!!! Kecepatan maksimal tercatat 90 km/h…!!!

Rem depan menggunakan disc brake 260mm, sedangkan rem belakang menggunakan disc brake juga 215mm….!!! Ban nya pun cukup gambot… dimana depan menggunakan ukuran 90/80-16, sedangkan ban belakang menggunakan ukuran 120/70-16… !!! Berat neh motor sekitar 100kg,… dan kapasitas tangki muat 5 literz…!!!

Harga dibanderol sebedsar Rp. 13.95 cukup kompetitif… !!! Lha wong dinegara asalnya dibanderol sekitar EUR 2000,- Knalpotnya udah nerapin undertail… lumayan laagh unik…!!! Panel indikatornya udah digital…!!! Target konsumen yang bakalan dibidik adalah para ABG umur 17-20 tahun…!!! ATPM Sachs ini mengungkapkan bahwa target penjualan motor ini sekitar 1000 unit…!!! Sekitar 20% dari komponenya adalah komponen lokal… dan akan ditingkatkan sampai 40%…!!! Tersedia dalam pilihan warna kuning, abu-abu, dan merah…!!!

Dalam waktu dekat pula… akan masuk juga product lainnya… !!! Kemungkinan besar adalah X-Road 125…!!! Menurut gue product ini lumayan keren…!!! Sekilazz mirip banget dengan Hypermotard nya Ducati…!!! Product yang dibanderol seharga EUR 3000, jika pricing strategynya mirip MadAss (EUR 2000 menjadi 14 jeti, jika EUR 3000 menjadi 20-21 jeti)… so.. bisa jadi ancaman buat pabrikan motor Jepang, India dan Cina…!!!
