hi guys i need ur opinion on getting any of these bikes


Honda CBR 250cc


or


Kawasaki Ninja 250cc


* performance,
* maintenance
* Speed
* Quality
* service centers

new or second?

been asking this question since last year and get the advice from various forumer and finally decided on ninja

To cut things short.. Cbr is more agile than ninja during traffic.. And low rev rpm is better than ninja during traffic.. Ergonomic wise.. Cbr better than ninja.. Ninja front tank n windbreaker covershoot very long.. Its as tho u drive a dodge viper compared with normal car..

But bad point is that.. U'll easily get bored with the cbr.. Riding wise ninja outperform cbr in highway.. Cause the tank able to give u to relax ur body in long distance and also the 2 cylinder characteristics.. Less vibration.. Cant say cbr vibrate like mad.. But more cylinder.. Wont give much strain to the engine compared to cbr..

But if u rarely go highway.. Cbr is a goood bike ! If use highway.. Ninja is the one to go.. =)

ever consider duke 200?

somehow i think kawasaki is overate here

looking for new

Ninja uses ancient ZZR 250 engine.... A very lazy revving engine....

CBR 250R uses a new high tech engine....

FC also better than Ninja.... Climbing hills is much easier with the CBR....

Talking about sound, both also crap....

So the choice is obvious....

any opinion on its sound.. exoze pipe sound

cbr 1 cylinder
ninja 2 cylinder

which 1 better?

top speed
ninja
daily ride cbr
resale = honda > kawasaki anyway
and lagenda also sound crap too

wht u mean daily ride here

seriously, tell us why you need the bike for? What is your usual riding condition? Where are you going to go with the bike?

i guess cbr...
2 cylinder parallel twin sound not nice..unless v-twin like ducati

good question...

to my workplace..
every day im traveling around 130km...
now using 100cc motorbike.... this bike not suit for long journey.. small bike really tiring....

in that case..kawasaki..twin cylinder better for long journey

130km of highway riding or city riding?

both are suitable for you. let me try to explain the difference between these two bike.



Ninja are using inline 2 engine, a very lazy engine in low rev, you are going to work a bit harder in traffic, but have the top speed advantage if you get a clear highway (how often do you find that in KL..)
CBR are using a single cylinder engine, engine response in very quick. better for traffic, not as powerful in top RPM, but how often do we do that on everyday basis?
CBR are the lighter and nimbler bike for traffic
maintenance, the CBR use less amount of engine oil, so CBR win.

well, i`ll be damned, the CBR win hands down. 250`ers not going to like this..

anyway, my suggestion is test drive both first..

old road, from taiping to selama... the road consider wide and straight, thats y im thinking to get a bigger bike..

so what bout full maintenance? CBR high or kawasaki?.
resell value which 1 high?
what bout the sound of the exzos pipe? im looking for a rough sound...

CBR cheaper as the engine have less moving part compared the Ninja.

Resell...not sure though..no 2nd hand CBR at the moment..

Sound..both sound crap

kawasaki can be considered "motor sejuk"

Trolololol.... u own Lagenda too....

haha....

Ninja also ok... but on mid to high revs sounds crappy....

But both arenot destined to produce good sound... lol....
