Guys, go for reputable bikes... that's my advice.

an 05 636 would cost you somewhere within the region of 45k RM. depends on the condition.

Hard to actually gauge what the owners would consider their bike is worth vs. market value.

Been busy la bro... a lot of travelling in the past couple of weeks. The XJ6 doesn't appeal to me at all. I prefer the ER6N which at least looks more beefy than the XJ6.

in that case, go for the Z800, more expensive but definitely worth it.

Yep, the KTM is a definitely more torquey machine. I'm contemplating of getting a CRF and go play at elite track.

elite is asphalt road bro.

No worries bro, we're all newbies in someway or another. I ride a lot on the road too, but on track... that's a whole different ball game.

That bike is trying too hard to look like the Ducati Hypermotard...

Try to find hyosung 250 on the internet, youtube (there's a video there). Is it your first bike? if it is, then no harm getting it to practice before you upgrade. But it's definitely not a long term choice.

Ducati bikes, jaga a bit... don't ride in the rain.... if not.... well... just don't do it, and be careful when you wash it...

Just saw the MSS 250 open class in SIC, crazy skills those guys... makes you rethink what the 250 series can do.

Don't try bro... it's quite hard to match their handling due to the lighter machines. was on a 250 for 4 months, then traded up.... now it's all about blinding acceleration and speed.

me, i got sick of getting left behind in convoys...

We usually separate our convoy groups to two, the faster ones and the not-so-fast riders - both with their own sweepers. This is the usual configuration that we convoy ride long distance. Like monthly trips to Raub, Cameron etc. Sweeper will standby with repair kits if required. The rule is the back rider is to always watch out for the rider in front. That eases up a lot of your worries. The faster guys will be riding around 220+ kmh, the slower guys... up to you la...

Yes, i've seen guys fall on the first corner after riding bike out of the shop. So yea, get a used one.

Do a burnout in front of the shop

Depends on tyre type but as mentioned by lucifah, 20k is really really stretching it. I change tyres approx every 4k km. using SC2s, the new SC2s last a little bit longer and better grip btw.

Bro if my tyres can last 14k i'd be a very happy man. As it is i'm already paying 1650 per pair used.

It's 4k km. I do a lot of trackdays. the sides finish faster than the center.

No i mean for each time i get a pair, it's RM1650. (but can get cheaper la sometimes)

Whoa... so many posts since my last visit. Hehehe.

Was admitted in hospital, bike crash. ahahaha.
