I already gave up on kapcai already..now superbike is the only thing that I will ever consider
Most kapcai got meter ringan..you look at your meter 150 km/h but actually 120 km/h only..factory set just to give you shiok factor
I'd rather save a little bit more and get the Kawasaki Ninja 250R instead..
Never really liked the cheap sound of the single cylinder of kapcai..especially when they go put their tin milo AHM racing pipe..sound so empty
Even 135LC with stock exhaust also sound more smooth with stock exhaust..when they change to AHM start la the shitty kapcai sound
Real men only ride this or anything better than this..

Even this modified Honda Monkey also sound better than any kapcai..

That one is around 26K if I recall..the 250R at least under 20K which is still possible for beginners to start with
Anyway the 250R is better especially if new to superbiking..too much power for beginners all will end up digging own grave only
At least the 250R gives a solid kind of speed..not the fake kind of speed you get with a kapcai
Give a beginner a Suzuki Hayabusa and the next thing he will land in the longkang only..

Too lazy to read..no need for 450cc bike also
Last time before the Kawasaki Ninja 250R came out I was more interested in the Kawasaki ZXR250..although you can only find 2nd hand ones only
4 cylinder 250cc..it has that full 4 cylinder sound that sounds awesome..the problem only is that since it is not a new bike and parts are hard to find
Not to mention that it does not stay in the 2nd hand market very long..

That's why you don't understand..that is a signature sound of the V twin..but because the cc of the 250R is small so it does not sound as nice as a Harley
Just like how Ducati has their Desmosedici engine..it sounds like crap..especially their Desmodromic valve which makes a clattering sound
But I still like the Ducati because it is their signature sound..especially when you strap on some Termignoni cans to it
Even the R1 from year 2009 onwards do not have the distinctive 4 inline sound because of their crossplane crankshaft..but I still like the sound of it
Just that their styling of the headlamps turn me off..its butt ugly
For the FZ150 I do not like the fuel injection because it is very hard to modify..even most mechanic shops say they do no have the knowledge to service it
Aftermarket parts for fuel injection also hard to come by..unlike the earlier kapcai want more power just get a bigger carburetor
And unless you can find someone who can reconfigure the FZ's ECU it is a not a very good bike to modify for extra power..

No it has always been the same for Ducati..the Desmodromic valve actuation is their signature method..they are the only one that uses it
The 916 and 996 is nice..999 is crap design..the 1098 onwards is back to basics with the 916 design
What I meant is because the valve actuation is mechanical instead of spring loaded it has a clattering sound..it is Ducati's signature sound although sound like engine rosak

Only real men can make any women bow to their wants and force them to sit behind and wear a helmet so they can shut up..
Pussies only drive cars because they bow down to the needs of their women..

Bikeman responsible person on the road..look in front before both end up in longkang
Carman not responsible want girls to hisap their batang and masuk longkang as they cum..

Can but the cost of doing such modifications are usually considered wasteful because the TZM is not made to handle that kind of power..
A lot of money will be wasted on modifications and modified vehicles usually will have less resale value..

Kesian..kenot think of better ways to troll and use personal attacks..go back to Troll 101

inb4 kereta stuck at KL traffic jam

Never really checked the specs but I guess you're right..but I hardly see any difference except that parallel twin will be wider
Ducati's L-twin engine is awsm unlike the Harley EVO engine..

I'm not saying that to use the Ninja 250R forever..its just a beginner's bike..what I am comparing with are the kapcai's
Usually the naked category does not have as much power as the supersport or superbike category..
Compare the ER-6N with the supersport category like the Yamaha R6..although not apples to apples because it is 2 cylinder vs 4 cylinder but the ER-6N is ~60HP while Yamaha R6 is like ~120HP
I can handle manual clutch easily but that doesn't mean that I should go and grab myself a Yamaha R1 as my first bike..
I've read a lot of people who actually did that and either end up losing control a lot because they couldn't handle it..
Not to mention the power delivery of those higher cc bikes can easily do a wheelie..now imagine a beginner accidentally did a wheelie by twisting the throttle too much
My 'rempit' days I've cornered a lot and even tried to race with a Mercedes in kampung road..luckily that time also use Dunlop TT900 and cornered like hell
Only lost to the car on the straight line..corners all I owned the car..and also at the cost of the TT900 that botak very fast and cost like >RM200 for a set of 80/80 and 90/80
Cornering depends on the bike of course..you cannot expect to corner better with a Kawasaki ZX-14 than a Ducati 1198
The corners I can do at least >50km/h depending on how grippy my tires are and how much I lean..I've lean before till my foot pegs grate the road as well
I'd rather transition from a 250R to a Yamaha R6 then maybe a Ducati 1098 rather than just go straight to the liter bikes..don't want to die too soon
Anyway I salute you if you could corner like this guy..this is what Rossi wanted for MotoGP..he wanted more powerslides like they have with 2 strokes back then

@terradrive
Maybe not new but a 2nd hand 250R should be good enough..20k is expensive no doubt..just to get the feel before moving on to higher and higher cc
And back then I leaned with a modified kapcai with TZM footpegs that is higher and backwards a bit instead of the standard ones..

@supermoto
Yes I know who that is..really good stunt biker comparable to Chris Pfeiffer..was just commenting on how he could take corners like that..I'm amazed

I don't mind getting a 2 stroke bike over a 4 stroke bike under the 250-500CC category..anything more is 4 stroke superbikes
However I still don't like RXZ because the body is big but the tires are small..making it look wimpy to me
If it was properly portioned to look like a superbike I wouldn't mind..if it is like the NSR500

Never really liked those headlights..wish they would change it back to the original..the engine sound is good though but superbike purists says otherwise

The side mirror no choice because laws state that it is not legal to not have side mirrors..and I still find them useful
There are however smaller mirrors that fits the bill that there are side mirrors..also got the turn signals that are flush with the fairing
The only problem is that that turn signals is very expensive..

Maintenance cost cheaper I don't think so..about the same I guess if you include 2T oil as a form of maintenance
Most people still like 2 stroke because they don't like electronics controlling the power delivery to the wheel..even Rossi still likes 2 stroke bikes

I second that..my motor mechanic tells me that almost all kapcai have uncalibrated meter or 'meter ringan' he likes to call it..
He used to race and manage a team in Cubprix so I believe what he says is true..most of them higher than actual speed just to give then shiok factor look at meter



Go for the Ninja..it is a lot better than the Blade and the Hyosung Comet is the original..Naza Blade is only a rebadge of the Hyosung

Don't know about you but the Ninja looks a lot better to me actually..has a fairing which does help in strong winds
Usually I don't prefer such a big bike..I would rather choose a slim Ducati 1198 over a wide Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R as it just handles better
The Blade may be 6k cheaper but I think the Kawasaki got better resale value..if there is a Kawasaki 2nd hand I'd grab it already..Blade maybe only

Somehow for a bike of that CC I still prefer carburetor although the fuel consumption is slightly higher than EFI..
Carburetor is so simple it hardly ever fails if you set the fuel to air ratio properly..EFI on the other had relies on the ECU to tells it what to do
Maintenance on a carb also should be cheaper than EFI but of course if I were to go for 600-1000 CC supersport/superbike it would definitely be EFI
Lower seat I am not too sure whether it affects ride comfort but handlebar height definitely does..the Kawasaki has a pretty high handlebar so does the Blade
Ultimately it is still depend on what you perceive as nice..I may look at the Kawasaki and like it but you may not because you prefer the look of the Blade
Also I look for ease of maintenance/spare parts..the Kawasaki is pretty popular here so spare parts are common..
I had a bike last time with scarce amounts of spare parts and fixing it is a nightmare and expensive..

I don't like the FZ that you got..too ugly IMHO..nowadays also the design for Yamaha bikes going down the drain already..
Looks so organic Gaban-ish kind of bike..at least Gaban's bike is cool but Yamaha bikes bluek
The new version of the 135LC also look lousy already..looks so organic compared to the original..the original 135LC was way sportier looking
