i've gone through this before liking both bikes but after lots of reading..
i have to say blade have my vote..it's cheap u can get it new for 250 but 650 gotta get 2nd...
parts of blade people comment on its hard n all but actually they share a lot of parts with many other bikes and mostly suzuki..
if ur in KL u can find the mech those bladers group ussually goes to..
if ur looking for good FC blade 250 suprisingly has an amazing FC..i wonder with the new EFI i think it should be much better
if u guys looking for more info on blade try have a look at the malaysian bikers community forum there is a thread for bladers community..lots of info there...

don't buy the first 2 years of the carb...it was not that good..later version is better

yeah..
i want a 650 too but kinda wanna wait if they wanna bring in the EFI or not..
the carb one finish already..gotta buy 2nd if ur looking for one..
btw here's a link to some comment about the bike by the current owners n about some price of the parts regarding about maintenance..
FAQ
really2 hoping for 650EFI....btw the current price for the 250 is damn cheap compared to when it first came out years ago..

nice pic of the bike there bro !
what makes me personally like blade over kawasaki ninja is that the size n weight...
blade looks a bit buff thus making it looks more towards a superbike...
and from the comment of ppl that have own both ninja n blade..he told me that the heavy weight of blade makes the handling and cornering feel much better than the kawa...
man..i kena racun again...
to TS if u can wait..CBR250 is just around the corner CBR250 countdown

walawey..i wonder boon siew will put what price tag with such spec...it suppose to grab the kawa market since they dun look blade as a threat..



yeah! the v-twin sound is awsome!
i guess 250cc bike are not ment to speed that much anyway but it is good for cruising at a reasonable speed with a good stability
i mean compared to bikes like rxz,LC,kips n ect....sure those bikes some can go faster but is it that stable n safe?
