For them its only applicable to race bike. Not those on the road..for those westerners la kan
But for the fact : Its usually :

<150cc underbone : kapcai
150cc-400cc : sportsbike
400-750 : supersport
750-1000> : superbike

That is why race are always put in those categories, best example : WSBK

World Superbike Series

for our own Malaysian Super Series, there is Supersports and Superbike categories. And production bike (underbone...RXZ..Panther..)

Those Vulcan 2000 or GoldWing...are not superbike even the cc are double the superbike cc

Ouh, i c. Humm, i like blade design bcoz it is bigger. I think er6f is quite smaller. Is it worth to buy er-6f for 35k? Or should i go usha2 other bike in that price range..

I see. Understand liao!

adoii..using phone make my post rsubmit so mny times. Sori2...hehe. So, i went to ban zen motor. I usha this er-6f. Thre only two color available, green n white. Why there is no black color...?

both liter bikes that u mentioned are road legal race bike. under the bones, they are developed for the track & not for the road. one could hardly go above 4th gear on our traffic condition in KL so they r not meant for practical commute.

in msia , no doubt they are superbikes.
in 1st world countries, they are sportsbikes.

zx10r is rm90k-100k IICR, but in HK, it cost only rm50k+, the authorize dealer also throw in freebies like akrapovic slip-on which cost 2k+.
so to them these "superbikes" are not as special or as "super" as in msia.

1300-1600 are mostly chopper/cruiser/touring class. like honda ST, BMWs, Voyager, HD, etc. other than those, some busa & zx14 too.

better get z750..more powarrr...haha ..

I prefer to take any as long as within the budget.

can modify muffler to make it sound like superbike

take er6f la.a lot of people said blade got too many problem+ hard to get spare parts.dont know true or not.

ok......what bikes are considered "superbikes" in 1st world countries?

lets see how they define superbike.

this is a US site, pls look at the tabs on top where the categories are listed out in a row:

http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/

so what do u think now?

I guess there's no such thing as 'superbikes' in the US.

yup, pretty much so.

the bike we call "super" are actually their sport bike.

↲Unless they dont even supercars (F40, CGT) "supercars"

dont get it wrong, superbike class does exist.
not all sportbikes are super, but all superbikes are actually sport.

simply put, only SBK class are considered superbike.


porsche boxster is a sportcar
F40 is a supercar
Carerra GT is a hypercar.

Guys i am planning to get a bike for cruising to work as well, ive been looking for 250cc bilkes, anything below 16k.

Naza Blade,
ORION KTM 250cc
DEMAK Cougar 250cc
DEMAX DMX - R
SYM GTS200

any other?

Yeah the Blade does have a bigger fuel tank.. ER6 are small which make it nimbler and lighter compared to the Blade. Yes its worth it. But for me I`ll go for the naked ER6.

Yep like I said, its the way we think. Westeners call them sportsbike, we call em superbike.
But to make it easy, lets look at the local scene

MSS have two categories, Superbike and Sportbike. Superbike for litre bike, Sportsbike for 600cc range bike, even the Duc 748 we raced as a Sportsbike.


It cost a lot more bro, maybe if Kawa Malaysia decide to CKD it here..


Nop you cant Its still a inline two engine. I`ve heard those modded ER6 sound more like a cubprix underbone to me

Added on October 26, 2010, 11:18 pmIf you are going to use it as a relax cruiser, not really a speed demon :

I`ll say go for the Sym Evo250, the new one should cost around your budget I think.

Dont ever get the Blade 250. At least the 650.
ORION KTM...
Demak (both demak)

I see you also thinking about a DP bike...but its not really comfortable for highway cruising..

Why not find a good condition XV535?

What is wrong with blade ? spareparts price or availability ? performance? What about the new EFI model.
Just curious cause i'm planning to get one..

Im going to a blader soon. Maybe la.
Coz rite now im choosing the best 250 bikes.
My budget also below 20k.
Was looking on the zx2r but the problems..
Haiz.. valves too small... Canot pecut that much.

problems with the blade vs ninja 250r
spare parts:
is not common compared to ninja
quality:
is not as good as ninja

Like ben_panced said..

I know one Blade 250 owner who have plenty of problem with his bike.. and sparepart are harder to get.. better get the 650 if u want the Blade..

20K...how much is a Ninja 250 anyway?
