650cc and 600cc are different bikes.

blade 650r and yamaha r6 are totally different bike altogether.

tho they are of similar engine size but, the power they deliver is not the same.

power evolution can be concluded as follow:
250 -> 400 -> 650 -> 600 -> 1000



for beginner bike, Id suggest something that is cheap. Because, when u fall, or the bike fall, it wont hurt your pocket much, but it will certainly hurt your physical.

Blade 250r suits well for beginners. Infact, Im looking for one.


not to hurt the ninja250 riders out there but, its overpriced. They are assembled in Malaysia I suppose? But why the expensive price tag. Heck, Blade is also assembled in Malaysia, but the price is alot cheaper.


in the US, hyosung 250, ninja 250 and cbr250 are priced almost the same with hyosung 250 being the cheapest 500 (more or less) fully imported.

you my friend, need to do more research before jumping in.

the 250rr u saw/heard was the old gen of engine which, are of 4 pistons type. hence the RPM is super high and the noise it makes.

ninja and blade are 2 pistons type while cbr250 is one piston engine and also ktm duke 200.

the kapchai sound they make because the no of cylinder they have.

blade sounds a little different since its a v-twin engine as opposed to ninja inline 2.


haha.. dont simply say 650 sound is the same as 600. Even the er6 sounds like kapchai. No offence to the riders out there.

650 - er6, versys, blade 650, xj6

600 - r6, cbr6, gsxr600, zzr600


two different category and price range. Ever occurred to you why the 600 class is expensive than the 650?


and oh, XJ6 is inline 4. It sounds alot better than er6.

Termig on XJ6.. sexy.

ninja 2011 SE comes with arrow. Trust me, the arrow doesnt sound that good or should I say, doesnt sound thrilling at all. My friend rides the SE with factory arrow.

yoshi would do best.

if u can afford it, then just go ahead.

one question tho, are you gonna daily it? a 250 suits as a daily than a 650.

blade 250 with Two Brothers slip on sounds good.

just that, akra exhaust aint come cheap. LOL


Id have Blade for the price, rarity and also, the v-twin sound.

blade is actually a rebrand of Hyosung from Korea. Its a korean bike but assembled in Shah Alam and rebranded to Naza Blade. Pretty much what Naza does to Kia and Peugeot.

dont get it wrong, a slip-on and a full exhaust system is different. Thus the price is expensive for a full system. The slip-on is a mere change of the end muffler.

another thing is, bikes need to be re-tuned after changing exhaust system. Or else, you'll be misfiring alot.


if the ninjas are priced similar to blade 250, Id put my money on ninja. Oh well..

that is the question. I too not sure if 2012 model are EFI.. if they are EFI, then it is better than 2011 model.

Im guessing they give you both exhaust for when you feel the arrow is too loud for you and intend on going back to silent mode you can just change to the standard exhaust. They are both simple to swap. A mere screws & bolts, and youre done.

one is with CF cover and the other is without CF cover/sticker/wrap etc.

not too sure the exact price of TBR, but they will cost you more than MYR2k. And, Naza is their authorized dealer.

akrapovic will cost even more.. SBK stuff.
