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?

Yeah, but haven confirm with the new model.
I really dislike the ninja.
21k OTR now.
EFI version of ninja has less hp from the carb.
Currently no news or release for the 650EFI blade.

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

If 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?

Thanks bro for your recommendation... DP bike = to what? lol i dont have a motor license yet gonna get one real soon but gonna buy a bike when i have my L. last time my L license expired i never bothered to renew.

Sym Evo i've though of it but getting the 250 might as well i get the gts200 right? its like 10k saving. i went to see the naza blade.. and demak... to be honest it is really a turn down...

thanks for your recommendation bro. saw the xv535 quite nice, but is there newer bike of those range? well i dont mind to take a lil loan, i thought of getting those below 15k coz i can pay by cash but if there is better bikes, i would not mind taking a loan... but maybe not much bout 10k or so.

Lol!

Superbike definitions:

Types (or design style) of superbikes:

a.) Sportsbike (track bike)- refers to aero-dynamic racing style design. Top-speed bike. Can be use for track.
b.) Cruisers (choppers as in US term) - easy rider cruisers with low-seating and so on. Not a top-speed bike but plenty of low/medium torque! - HD bikes, Vulcan 900, etc.
c.) Moto-cross - All terrain sbk motocycles. Low torque, excellent control on all terrain surfaces. - CBX450, KTM690,etc.
d.) Tour - Durable sbk motocycles. Long-distance touring bike - ST1300, Vulcan 2000
e.) Naked/Street - Street/road sbk. Medium torque bike - ER6n/f, Shiver750, etc.

something which is not common ppl can afford, or too powerful to handle... that defines SUPER(bike).

liter bike is an average class, 600 is consider entry level at europe/state.
1300-1600cc is something u see on their road everyday.

in msia.....any bike that is not kapchai or 150cc above = WOW! superbike!

Im also interested in Blade. Well how hard it is to find the spareparts. Is it expensive than 250r. BTW whats the difference in maitenance between the blade 250 VS Ninja 250 and blade 650 VS er6n. I know that the 250 is incomparable with the other two. Thanx

It's hard to find if you live outside Klang Valley. Not many shop carry Blade sparepart. And aftermarket part is not that much too. Well since I've never changed anything major so these are the only original part prices that i know

i) Engine Oil- Depends on brand..I'm using Agip 10w40, RM35/bottle. Blade use 2 bottle (1.5 liter only actually)
ii) Oil filter-RM12
iii) Clutch lever-RM40
iv)Side mirror-RM410 for both (crazy naza!)
v) Brake Pad-RM50/piece..Blade use 3 piece, 2 front 1 rear
vi)Front mudguard-RM99

So far I'm doing regular maintenance only, change EO+oil filter, 10k km changed spark plug, 20k km changed air filter.. Every time service around RM85..
Cost of maintenance for Blade 650 and ER6n will be higher of course 

wow...so many response already. haha, thanks guys. i think when talked about bikes, we will never stop talking.

i think i come to decision, to buy kawasaki 250r. well, it cheaper, and suits me as a beginner. some blog says dat, kawasaki 250r got really easy handling. but i still say, if not because of weird shape of front lamp of blade, and very hard to find spare part, i would choose naza blade, because its sound, its shape, very closed to what we define as a superbike in Malaysia. hehe

i hope in the future, i can buy a big bike.....hope not before my age is 40, hehe.

when you have bought the bike please remember to change the tyres to bt016 for front and rear for maximum grip 

 
just make sure the grip of your money in your wallet is maximum too
