nice zx2 bro
all 4t 250cc.. im not insulting 250cc riders but if u have ridden bigger CCs bikes u will feel as i do...
once i have tried my frens cbr 929 and it's acceleration was insane and after that when i went back to my bike i felt that 650cc acceleration is slow haha.. just my 2 cents

btw i dun care which bike u ride as long as we are all bikers ..
*
no offense taken. i own a 750 oso, difference in acceleration is night and day. tongue.gif

only TS can decide wad he wan mehh. gud commuter like the ER6 series really would do nicely!
if we suggest zx10R he might consider quit biking after a test-ride rolleyes.gif

ninja 250r is still not bad but the only problem is the acceleration...
but the dtracker is a bit overpriced la for me.. 24k, add 8k more and ull get er6n or er6f which is way better.
*
lol, 8 k more to get er 6n if can afford 35 k bike then why not add 10 + k to get better 600 cc bike ...

i was thinking to get d tracker, shud i add 8 k more to get er 6n, that means i have to save another 6 more months and monthly payment will be like hell ... shakehead.gif


Added on April 21, 2010, 12:55 pmi like the er6n coz abit fast and the head lamp, so big that if two ride side by side u gonna think its a truck behind u.

I dont like it coz the engine/exhaust sound, sound weak, that kind of sound i rather have supermoto sound or ducati 916 sound

will easily do 180 kmh




er6n stunter






First saw er6n in 2003 even than malaysian ppl dont even know er6n exist, saw it from the leet stunter, angyal zoltan.

hmm... why is everyone talking bad about kawi 250R?
this started to worry me if i make the right choice earlier. hmm.gif

performance is always the main concern, but comparing a 250 with a 650 totally unfair.

i have heard valuable comment from owners of blade 250, er6n, zx2, etc. Now i wish there are 250R owners that can share his experience here.

what issues? no issues over here. the problem does not come from the bike, i assure you. it's always the owner.

maintenance is the main thing here. every bike treat like whore oso won last long.

treat it like your youngest child, no prob will come meh!

the issue i mean is when comparing with latest 250r. thats the reason why kawa come out with twin engine 250r(already been use with zzr and el250)..if the 4 cylinders were 'that' good..why they stop producing it. biggrin.gif

The only downside of ninja250r and er6n is expensive tyres/chain + sprockets and insurance...

I believe one can only expect to pay for parts like tyres, chains, sprockets, etc since these aren't kapchais...
It's like buying a Kancil or BMW, performance comes with a price. smile.gif

same here, speed is not my concern. i dont think imma bring it onto the highway. usually when i travel that far, i would be driving my car instead.

as today, my dept (car loan) already cleared. & my plan to get a baby ninja has never faded. however i have changed my mind abit, i would get a used carb by next year, coz it would cheaper by 1-2k consider the machine is a year older ;p

then i would spare some cash for an aftermarket exhaust, or maybe repaint it white, powdercoat rims.

anyway, the bike sales personal told me that the injection can go up to 200kmh, not like the carb that top at 170kmh. i wonder if thats true? hmm.gif

yeah. that would be a good move. by then, lots of 250r price range jaz between 15-16k. u can say all kawasaki owners who let go of their baby really take care em really damn well. so its quite safe to say, u aren't gambling n wont regret buying a used 250r. Coz i'm riding one. hehe.

Mine is year 2009, bought it on April, mileage clock was 20k, n price is Rm17.5k at Welly Batu Caves. These place is highly recommended. Its a used bike tho. And i'm the 2nd owner.

Well, after i got my bike on the first day, i already change the muffler into AHM carbon. U can say the original setting was very...dull. So to add some fun, i need a good sound coming from my bikes. and AHM did really pull it off.. it sounded more like easy rider compare to superbike tho... not sure if u guys like that kind of setting. Well most people prefer Yoshimura. It have this higher note sound. Not that it sounded like 600cc superbike above.. laugh.gif

N did some test at Genting. My bike sometimes semput or not that powerful when it comes to climbing Genting road.. u know Carbs rite? If its an Injection model, it would be a diff story already. The RPM meter when i rev it to the metal, it will stuck to 9k..while evyone else gets 10-12k... maximum is 14k.. i went to Genting with this outcome for almost a month, once a week. Always kena tinggal one..coz slow. haha. damn 250.

only solution would be changing the whole pipes into FUll system. that cost me Rm450. Total change including muffler was Rm1.3k. I did it at NKS Sentul thumbup.gif
n the result of the performance... is so bloody diff. u can say if i go head to head drag with another 250, i can tinggal him like 1 tiang or 2. Changing into full system really gets all those sleepy RPM into WORKS! N that time, Genting was fun. Going to uphill ofcoz. Downhill is diff story coz it really tears off ur balls. One wrong move, could be fatal. haha...

N afta a while, i change back the whole thing into original setting. Its all becoz i live a peaceful and silent neighbourhood (Hartamas) n that exhaust is damn one of a annoyance. Its too LOUD. Well, since i did rasa all those racing n thrill at Genting, i dun really mind taking it off and start to ride slow onwards. n i really did. But, somehow, the fun is diff. I mean, u can say the original setting are definitely Better. Smooth, not so loud and feels jaz nice. Best thing is? In my 5 months of owning the bike, it never breakdown, gives a crap or ROSAK at all.

Kawasaki definitely a good choice notworthy.gif

If u guys arranging a TT, i might as well join u. If u guys wanna go to Genting, no problem. Its been a while since i go there brows.gif
