Good point by sarawakian - about getting B2 first. But i already pay for B full. Initially i want to get the < 250cc license first - but fren say take B full terusla...After going to circuit i realize that i need basics like mastering titi with small bike first. So i'm stuck now-have to go b fulll.

So one person so far  suggest kawa 250, one suggest kapchai/kips 150cc...Again if kapchai - i dunno, suzuki shogun sp seem to fit the bill, but poor resale value if i wanna trade up. Yamaha LC also i believe got kickstart and clutch, good resale value, but 'hot' bike for thiefz

Sidestory for ur entertainment:
Meanwhile i decide to get some gear - being newbie don't want my skin to peel of in the first day.
I look at various forums etc for good quality stuff - but most shops sell accessories like a part time income. I got arai helmet (rm 80) but realize i need to buy plastic visor (newbie rite). paid rm 15 for plastic visor, then realized it is non flippable. Anyway because of this i wanted to find proper accessory shop. After much looking found one shop in sunway - got a kushitani jacket rm 3++, and gloves. For kapchai/kips level this is enough maa...Funny riding kapchai with nolan helmet-dainese jacket-sidi boot (by the way all 3 would probably cost equal to a brand new KIPS). Quite happy with my apparel.
Today supposed to go train in the circuit - but saw the dark clouds at the edges of KL - maybe on saturday i will go for 'the battle of titi'.
At the moment all fren bawak car - except one guy - need to hunt him down for kapchai trial...

so far i've been to one shop, described my situation, they suggest:
1. an old yamaha ss 110 rm 1300 - looks run down - mechanic said 'use clutch also can, you don't use clutch oso gear masuk!'
2. a suzuki RG i believe rm 2800 - with 'race clutch' - looks a bit better on the outside compared to the yamaha.
I need to survey couple more shops...
I dunno what to check to avoid shop cheating me, issues are as follows:
1. when buying 2nd/1st hand, what to bring - obviously cash in pocket/3 month salary slip - but for 2nd hand kapchai i can arrange cash. Other than that what else - IC and license i suppose.
2. things to check in the 2nd hand bike - since i'm new, this is a drawback- i don't want breakdown everyday.
3.  to avoid the issue in no.2 above, if i buy new, then i have to think of model with decent 2nd hand value, avoiding theft etc - i'm feeling giddy already, need to take one step at a time...

Like this one   

Still.. JAM or RAIN   

kalau balik rumah redah je lah, got rain coat even better!

May i suggest for a fullface helmet which will cost you rm500 below, sirim and dot approval, SOL helmet, am using 1. =)
Could get it cheaper if you know the place. 

I pump petrol 3 times when I ride down to Singapore. Each time about RM15~18. Dont feel very super -.-

I never ever used a raincoat... been thru downpour so heavy until i stop at rest area, take out my boots and pour out a cup of water.

As for helmet, try an Arai or Shoei, once u tried them you will find nolan lacking, not that its a bad helmet. I have a Nolan N60 and an AGV paid around RM600~800 for them each. But once I got my Arai... there is no goign back.

Well.. i'm a proponent for fullface helmet
1) I dont wanna eat bugs
2) First time i fell off my bike, i landed face down, the scratches infront of my AGV helmet reminded me constantly the reaosn I still have a face.

I'll give u a quick list:

Mecinda at Pertama Complex, if u ask which is ori or fake then they will tell
Motoworld at PJCC next to NPE after tol going to Sunway side, it's a branch here. came from SG. most of the stuffs are original.
Motostyle, pro in custom made full suits
Eidaman Bikers in Kelana Jaya, i'm sure someone here is a regular of this shop.
Big Bike Shop in Puchong, not sure never been there.
Dainese Pro Shop in Plaza TTDI, haven't check it out yet cos they just open 2 days back

there u go, enjoy shopping

i've been riding 125z and comfortable with its clutch..but heard somewhere that its harder to control clutch on big bikes. neway, thanks for your advice..

Nice dude! how was your experience?

you have to do this...


OR...

hi all, holiday greetings

Trigger pulled.
order made. tongue.gif
pics soon.
blue krr 150.
Expected to arrive by this friday...
(it looked quite bulky in width compared to say rxz but since ultimately i wanna get bigger bike, got to start with this - did not do any test ride with this bike - hope all is ok).

Now i'm quite worried about security as i stay in highrise with bikes parked below.
what kind of SECURITY can i arrange for my bike?
Is there any cheap GPS transmitted that can be attached to the bike with link to a smartphone to trace it in case it is taken?
Also any good shops selling bike security devices?
thanks guys, cheers.

No, at the moment i'm not in condo type. it's 'open air'...no guards.
Both the above posters have 600cc kawa which i think not many thiefs interested.
But yamaha LC/honda cub hot
the kawa 150cc i ordered also considered quite hot for thiefs.
600cc bikes, superbikes etc i think thiefs have no much incentive to steal.
i better pray to all the gods.

ps - recently my bro car got broken into, caught the guy red handed, cctv footage also got, but eventually the thief (drug addict) got released within 1 week i believe. now i understand why the public just beats up the thiefs before handing to authorities. but drug addicts - they aren't usually rational so nothing could stop them i believe.
