The 135LC turning 20, huh — the undisputed star of Malaysia's kapchai culture. Even with the same water-cooled 135cc heart inside, I have real respect for a workhorse bike that's stayed loved for 20 years. The Celeste limited edition of 5,000 units, with a numbered basket no less, is a nice touch. A bike that celebrates being your everyday companion rather than speed — I'm a total sucker for that kind of thing.

With water-cooled EFI putting out this much power, fuel economy is probably pretty solid too.

It's a hotly contested class against Honda's RS series, so this feels like a real push for the 20th anniversary.

Lasting 20 years means it must be that well refined, so I get why they wouldn't want to mess with a major change.

What does celeste color actually look like? Judging by the name I'm picturing something pastel.

Celeste should be Italian for sky blue, if I recall—it does look like a nice, fresh color.

135cc water-cooled EFI putting out 12.4hp—I wonder if the spec itself has stayed unchanged for years now.

Going from RM8,298 to RM8,798, a 500-ringgit gap—sounds like plenty of people would go for the limited color.

With a limit of 5,000 units, it'll probably sell out pretty fast—anyone who wants one should move early.

The 135LC turning 20—it's basically Malaysia's national bike, a model with real staying power.
