Caring for Southeast Asia's Street Legend

This motorbike was originally black but now repainted in light blue. Various components that were once dull have been re-polished to be glossy and have a chrome feel.

In the golden era of Indonesian and Southeast Asian underbone motorcycles, one name shines brightly and still maintains its popularity to this day: the Yamaha Jupiter Z 5TP.

Although production has stopped since 16 years ago, this legendary underbone motorcycle is still sought after by racers and collectors.

Cheap motorbike, old motorbike, but I really like it because of its history. What makes the Jupiter Z so special?

Born in 2003, the Yamaha Jupiter Z came in an unusual way. Instead of being sold directly to the market, this motorcycle first showed off on the race track through the Yamaha Perwira team.

This strategy proved to be effective, because the Jupiter Z managed to challenge the dominance of the Suzuki Shogun 110 which at that time was the king in its class.

With a high-tech 110cc engine, the Jupiter Z offers surprising performance for its class. Jupiter Z's achievements in the racing world are very impressive.

One of the most historic moments was the collaboration between Star Motor and a Swedish tuner in 2004, which produced the legendary "Swedish Jupiter".

The peak of achievement was achieved when Yamaha Jupiter Z first became the Asian champion in the Asia Road Race Championship (ARRC) in 2012.

Since then, this achievement marked the dominance of Yamaha Jupiter Z in Asian racing events, which had previously also won many titles in the Motoprix and Yamaha Asean Cup Race events.

AARC stands for Asia Road Racing Championship, a prestigious motorcycle racing event in Asia. AARC brings together the best racers from various countries in the Asia and Oceania regions.

Yamaha Jupiter Z, including its variants such as Jupiter Z1, is available in several countries in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, this motorcycle is known as Jupiter Z.

In Malaysia, this motorcycle is known as Yamaha Lagenda 115z, and in the Philippines as Yamaha Vega Force i. In addition, in Thailand, there is also Yamaha Jupiter RC, which is the twin of Jupiter Z1.
