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

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..

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

I cant relate riding the CBR like riding a kapcai, yeah sureee my modded LC feel more torquey, but its not built for speed anyway.

Well, I might be damned for saying this..

For half the price of these two, you can get the Kawasaki ZX150KRR. Lower maintenance, same speed.

You forget about the Blade 650

er..no..CB400 might be the answer but the price for new one..RM70K here..who in the right mind might buy it

non-sportbike 650 in our market

1) Er6 n/f RM35K
2) Versys RM39K
3) Blade 650 RM24K
4) XJ6 RM40K
