The thing is, even if you already have all the documents ready, our JPJ and Custom here dont really like seeing Malaysian riding Singapore or Thailand registered bike.

Thats the facht.

First timer? Dont touch the 600 or liter bike yet, get yourself 150cc 2 stroke first.

Dont commit suicide.

Well, here is the problem :

You are comparing the modest, everyday usage ER6N against all those track focused sportsbike TS shown.

While the ER6N have two cylinder 650cc, if you pit it against a four cylinder R6 ("only" 600cc) guess who will win?

Kawasaki trying to market the ER6n as the bike for beginners, did you ever see them market their ZX6RR as bike for beginners? No?

150kph? Even the cheap 2stroker ZX150 can reach 150kph with beginners rider easily bro.

In the end, it depends why you want the bike? Everyday "uncle" ride or "proper" sportsbike riding?

BTW,what he said is true.try to get something less powerful for start,like ZXR400 to old R6(not to heavy or too powerful like newer generation,still abit hard to tame if you compare it with the naked/street bike,let say ER6N or XJ600 which I have tried both before. )

Singapore bike is cheap compare to malaysian bike,but you need lotsa knowledge & be careful when parked it because it was favourite among theft due to great demand for cheap spare part/trash bike for trackday use especially sportsbike.

Yes,go to Superbikemalaysia or Msportbike for more details although a singaporean ownership tips & guide to owning one is a bit like taboo...but I know some of them has experience of owning several of them & use it as daily ride.

Do more research about it.I also like to own one as track bike but need to think about my street,daily ride first before all the fun come in handy.
