even this bike is underpowered....
for real bike at least use er6

seriously I owned a 400cc 4 cylinder naked bike before and it's even feel underpowered.

zxr250 really headache to maintain, for example full overhaul costs like 4k (that's maybe 7 years ago).

As long as you can handle bike with a manual clutch you can handle litre bikes. I didn't masuk longkang when test ride few big bikes... instead bigger bikes feels much lighter, that time i only use 150cc 4 stroke before i got the 400

bike corners too slow, even when leaned alot on my 150cc (smaller bikes corners faster than bigger ones) the speed can't match cars at all. with dual tt900 tyres on one corner I can only max like 45km/h on bike (kecut telur liao), on car 60km/h easily with normal tyres. and the small 150cc bike 0-100kmh time too slow

125z and rgv 120 are 2 stroke bikes, the engines easily die if you didn't open more throttle compared to 4 stroke bikes.

Most new unmodded litre bikes are gentle to ride on low rpms, that being said you shouldn't open the throttle like on small cc bikes. Even on 400cc it's torquey enough to spin the tires, but dam that feels good haha.

20k for 250cc twin is just too expensive. Unless you are looking to ride it for a long time the Kawasaki kips 150 is even better in performance for just around rm9k.

The thing I said about how underpowered 250cc is that the torque isn't enough. If you compare er6 and R6, both bike actually have about same torque, which makes them fair quite the same on daily roads where you doesn't go past 120km/h most of the time. I think on 2nd gear on R6 you already reach near or past 100km/h, only place you can use all the HPs are highways....

And leaning on kapcai of course easily grate the roads.

the fz150 enough speed to maintain true 110km/h liao lor

I don't know what kancil is that, because I driven 660 and 850 both dam slow one, maybe that kancil changed engine liao

I think fz 130km/h is like 120km/h on car.

on fz normally 0-500km ride 80km/h, then changed oil and 90km/h for 500-1000km for running in.

Also have to change the oil filter on first oil change too.

Follow the recommendation from the owner's manual only, maybe just change oil and oil filter.
FZ150i memang top speed at 130km/h (meter) even after run in, depending on wind speed it may get 135-140km/h if you lucky. One easy way to increase top speed is to lie down like sportbike riders haha, it can add 10km/h, less wind resistance mar.

I thought 2k rpm really low liao? When I rode my friend's fz I normally use 3.5krpm++

it's fz150i lar, the engine looks totally different from lc135

Actually superbike is a category for sportsbike racing... I think it refers to the modified production sportsbike in those competitions.

We should call those gsxrs, zxrs, hayabusas as sportbikes

Motorcycle scenes fare better than cars. At least we can buy reliable non-national brand motorcycles at not so bloated prices.
