same condition like TS, only that i got dilemma in choosing my first bikes..
but no sing bikes for me..since all are above 600. planning to take normal license. after browsing so many bikes in Mudah.com, my choice comes to few..

Kawasaki ZXR250 97-99 model. price around 10-15k.. ( the only bike that looks like 250 while have a great sound)..unlike the 250R now.. sad.gif

Cagiva Mito 125 cc year 2008 - Rm14-15k.. i've seen the review..n out of 10 riders, 10 say the bikes is hard on maintenance.. spare parts n all are hard to find (really?) but performance wise is superb (for a 125cc..).

I mainly chose this two becoz of their looks n reputation. n ofcoz, the decent prize. If comparing on maintenance, the Cagiva Mito sure gives lots of headache, but on the bright side, it got this Ducati 916 Senna looks ( since same designer..) both can reach 180km/h..n both have wide tyre at the back (which is very cool for a small cc bikes)..

So guys, since i'm kinda new n never ride any bikes before, which do u think is the best? i hardly hit the highways n long distance.. all are city range.
*
i suggest fz150 or cbr 150, coz less maintenance than zxr250 n cagiva mito...if u still insist go for zxr250, but u must have rm3k as a backup if anything go wrong...if u own this bike, u must extra care n know a bit about ur bike...coz this bike really 'manja'...be a alert that when using this bike, the way of riding it a little bit different from cupchai...

hmm if that's the case, i think i can handle the maintenance. but not sure about the handling ur talking about, since i never ride any bikes before. Is it a good practice before i move on to superbike? the ZXR250 n Cagiva Mito.

CBR 150 , x minat with the looks  laugh.gif
