If you flash lots of Renmimbi, maybe. My last trip there I did not have enough time to shop around, though I source many retail outlets from ibike.com.hk. What I can say is that they have lots of variety from top brands. Hence, I could not comment if it is a lot cheaper - but I would say I got my RX7RR5 for a steal!

Yeah..no 2012 red in our market right..haha.

Lemme give you the link .. haven't seen irl yet.

What say you?

the bike is stunning....

Adding to the list of places to park big cc bikes which I have parked before:

1. One Utama - old wing
- Right in front of TGIF, they call it big bike parking. But if I recall correctly, it could only fit like 6-7 ER6 size bikes. No locker and not shaded
- If you want shaded place to park the bike safely, head to First Avenue. On concourse level (the minute you enter the carpark) there is place to park. But it will be swamped with mopeds/cubs. Head to B1, left side of the building where you will come across a shaded place to park - ample space. If B1 runs out of space, go to B2. Be warned as you will need to go through another parking beam as it is meant for season parkers. I work in this building, thus parking in B2 is the best choice as its nearer to the lift.

2. G Tower KL
- The minute you enter the carpark only you will be greeted by bikes left, right, center. It is all over, range from small to big cc bikes. If first level is swamped, just head to the lower level. Shaded parking.

3. Citta Mall, PJ
- I would say this mall took into consideration of bikes very well. It has both open air and shaded. Open air bike parking are designated slots located opposite of the main entrance or in front of some cafe shop which I cannot recall the name.
- Shaded parking for bikes, you have to access the lower ground. Head down to the ramp downwards, pass the lift on the left and u can see the bike parking area on the left hand side.

4. KL Sentral area, Quill 7 and One sentral. Hate to drive to this area!
- Both shaded in its multi level carpark. Depends where I need to be. Both shaded and easy to park the bikes. Just make sure the bike is not obstructing any vehicles and traffic and its fine.
- Designated bike parking at both areas are normally packed with early birds. But I was told management kept 1 eye close ensuring that bikers adhere to proper regulation.

To the 4 above, if you happen to ride a Spyder out - only Citta Mall's parking can accommodate that kind of space. The rest, forget it.

Lets all be considerate and park properly:
1. No matter how flashy your bike is, do not park at main entrances unless you are told so with authoritative permission. Love to see those idiots arguing to get their bikes un-clamped at MidValley as they park their bikes between the walkway of MV and Gardens.
2. Disabled parking area are for disabled. If you can ride a bike, I am sure you are able enough unless you are Mick Doohan
3. Be mindful when you enter carpark. Most of them have crazy height humps, smooth cement surfaces and idiots whom do not maintain their vehicle well enough causing oil leaks everywhere.

Bang some tables and make lots of noise to Kawasaki to bring it in! But I believe those with red base colours and trim is not for malaysia market. Enquired before on the black & red trim 2012 ZX10r and was told to move to US if I want one. Alternatively, Malaysia Boleh - spray it ourselves.

see the magic work "accident free" is missing from the ad?

3rd party decals, 3rd party spray paintjobs, 3rd party lamps, etc etc - it seems that this bike has crashed before and the owner took the opportunity to replce it with 3rd party stuf...

just my opinion though


and oh. in case you haven't noticed, that bike is WHITE in color...

so far, been riding a brand new 6n for the past 5+ months

normal expenses (not including accessories or apparels)

1. service every 3,000km (and also 1,000km) = RM 105 / service
2. petrol fill up every 200km - rm20

that's all so far... it's a bit steep if you compare to my previous ride, a yamaha ego scooter (RM5 = 100km, 1 service = RM 30), but still surprisingly affordaable, provided you don't mess up (like i did)

but riding a big bike is like holding a bottle of poison. although you may not drink it, you may have got a whiff od the poison, so u gatal replace this, replace that, upgrade your exhaust (RM2,500), buy expensive helmets (rm800+), jackets (rm500+), gloves (rm100+), shoes (rm300+), bla bla bla, and end up buying a 1,000cc (RM 70,000+) bike in less than a year... those are pretty big expenses

but just wondering. is 600cc supersports same maintenance as 650cc sportbikes?

and list out like service period and time and price?
ex

1000km>> +- RM ???
3000km>> +- RM ???

tq

depends on how many cylinders you have and how expensive the oil filter is, and how much the shop is gonna charge you

any 4 cylinder engine usually use 4 liter of oil

my twin use only 2 liters

and there's many oil to choose from. i choose an average rm25/liter oil. you can go up to rm60/liter if you want to

and then there's the filter. diff shop charges differently

my 6n booklet recommends oil change every 6,000km, but i just stay with 3,000km as i'm a low mileage user. 1 yr can manage more or less 8,000km only.

Er6 is a parallel-twin engine. it uses two cylinders, hence only need about 2 litres of engine oil (two bottles). If one bottle on average is RM30, then:

RM 30 x 2 + RM40 (oil filter) + labour RM15 = RM 115 (average).


CBR600R is a four-cylinder engine. It needs four litres of engine oil, if using the same values above, you'll pay RM60 extra ever service:

RM 30 x 4 + RM40 + RM15 = RM 175

Not to mention engine wear and tear parts (those major services) will cost twice more as there's two more cylinders.

Adding to the injury - tyres! Each rear tyre would set you RM600-800 depending on the level of stickiness you want. Mileage should set you no more than 7.5k kms unless you are using hard compound likes of BT021 or 23. Basic rule of thumb, ratio of front & rear tyre change is 1:2.

Correct! ER6 uses 160 sized tyres, which you can get from RM480-RM600 (depending on type). That's a few hundred ringgits shaved off compared to the price of 180 sized tyres (which the CBR use).

However, to me depends greatly on what you plan to do. I use my ER-6 as a daily commuting bike. So periodic maintenance, wear & tear cost is important to me. My bike is about 18 months old and have clocked 43,000km of mileage (moderate use, i guess).

If you plan to use your bikes as weekend riding, and occasional convoys, then CBR600R wouldn't dent your pocket in the maintenance realm.

thanks guys. I'm planning to use it as a daily commute actually. now i'm leaning towards the er6 a bit. of course i can stretch the budget a little and get the cbr but not sure if its a wise decision lah.

Another pointer is that the CBR600 has a sport riding position (which means you'll crouch down lower). This have two things (to me at least): 1) you might suffer backpain over prolonged use, and 2) it can be a little tricky to weave around traffic.

ER6 have an upright, tourer-style riding position, which is more relaxed (quite close to mopeds).

However, at the end of the day, get the bike that you like. A bike has to be cool

he asked me to buy gsxr 600 Lmao

i will be staying in HK for 2 nites, if needed to extend maybe can extend 1 more nite just to shop for my bike apparels listed down all the shops i wanted to visit, most of them located at Kowloon.. lol source it from ibike.com.hk too..
