It was a pleasure to have you as company and how is the new Hayden breaking in? Sold my Hayden yesterday, despite the wicked graphics, matte colour and all - but I will be back to HK from time to time to get more stuffs for personal use or for my riding buddies. So my guess is that he will be the very few in town alongside with you to own the 27 Sept 2012 helmet.

Benefit of others not knowing how the new Hayden looks like - here goes

Am still hunting for that 2010 helmet that I have always set my eyes on...

Sharing some insights on HK & Macau superbike scenes.

1. HK Police uses BMW 2 wheelers - R1200RT for the newer bikes.
2. Hondas are quite popular in HK & Macau
3. Macau Police uses VFR800 or 1200 as their wheel machines
4. Both HK & Macau police's bikes does not have that much bling compared to what we have here
5. Big cc 2 wheelers are not commonly seen or used as a runabout machine - they rather use scooters or mopeds due to traffic congestion
6. Both HK & Macau has not enough stretches for big cc bikes - everything is just a short sprint and my guesstimate is that we can hardly even use 4th gear.

New ZX6r ala ZX636 is in town! RM72k on the road.





Seems to me not much difference from the previous ZX6R eh. Take your pick - white or green?

Who could resist that new Hayden's graphics at that price we got it for. Anyway, it was not my intention to sell but since he always wanted an Arai so my as well just sell it off since I go there off & on.

Sure - let me know what you need and see if I can help. You should have just bought that helmet...

Thanks bro for the info..i will have to 'puasa' from riding for 3 months 

My trip to HK is just around the corner, this Saturday to be exact.. Will stay at Metropark Mongkok...
Anyway how much roughly is the price of Arai helmets there? because i can't find price in their website..
if it is really cheap i might get my 1st Arai to replace my Shoei that i wore when i crashed..

bro icecolddamncold u want to tumpang buy something? 

Look what I brought back from Macau! Just kidding.

Bike arrived on late Wednesday evening, was hoping to ride her on Sunday morning. Could not get the bike registered in time, so brought her back hoping that everything to be sorted out coming Monday.

icecolddamncold, honestly I was not sure till the day it arrived.

Just whack only.

Took the 636 for a ride this morning. Some mini review and thoughts of my own

What I do not like:
1. Stock screen is crap! Tucked in and the screen is parallel to my eyes/viewport. Irritating as hell
2. Riding position seems a lill aggressive for a supersports. Comparing to the others, the 636's handlebar seems lower
3. Torque, virtually none compared to my Z1000. No more sudden adrenaline rush
4. The all new exhaust system is VERY restrictive! It is said that this 636 engine is churning out 130hp, put it on a dyno and the result is 109whp with 6kg of torque
5. Stock ecu maps pulls through to 14.5K rpm and then power is cut off gradually to redline
6. By changing to a slip-on with straight flow mid pipe - very very minimal horsepower gains. Be prepared to be disappointed. Torque increased by 0.6kgs and comes in earlier. Again, this is due to issue #4. Save your money for a full system or be prepare to gut the header.

What I like:
1. Brakes, the Nisin monoblock calipers and 310mm paired with Brembo RCS19 seriously provides one heck of a stopping power and feedback. Mind you, I had upgraded to 310mm disc with upgraded brake pads on my Z1000 - and the 636 performs much much better
2. Gearbox - the new gearbox does wonders! I have never felt gear changes so smooth. Shit you not, comparing to the previous zx6ses it is a major improvement where me & many others that tried the bike vouch for this
3. Clutch - with the servo assist, clutching in and out is now effortless. Super light, but problem is lack of tension feedback where if you want to feel the grip when clutching out. The slipper clutch also does wonders, I have tried downshifting without clutching in and it is bloody smooth
4. Power, smooth delivery of power all the way to 14K rpm. So far no experience of flat spots
5. Shares many parts with the previous 09-11 ZX6R

I think most sportsbike does not have that handle for pillion - notice that my 636 also does not come with it.

When push the bike backwards, I would walk-reverse using my hip resting on the tank for counter weight and slowly push the bike backwards with both hands on the handlebar. Normally I would do this on the left hand side of the bike. Why do I do this? Coz I am short & lack of arm brute force. Though it look silly and very amateur, but I just heck it.

But if the surface is flat, then I would just push the bike backwards with my right hand supporting the back seat.

help to create awareness for my neighbor. he is the organizer. if u guys got come down, pm me. maybe we can tt for a while.

for the jacket and riding pants - this one a bit odd out

a good riding jacket = rm 1,000

but a good racing suit = at least rm 3,000+

makes lots of diff if some ppl include racing suit as jackets + pants

wah... u gonna open a new store?

Quote me the best introduction price either Atem Leather Jacket or Tech 1-R Jacket
 

do keep me updated   

Let me share with you my personal experience. Back in March or April 2010, I bought my first big cc bike - a 2007 Kawasaki Z750. Paid full in cash with it - got my friend to ride it back as I have no experience riding bikes, except for 6 days in total of renting scooters in Krabi - period! You should see the look of the shop owner as he thought I was kidding about no experience riding bike - he look either anxious as if I am going to kill myself with that machine or thinking this dude is a real idiot. Within 2-3 months, I practise both on the Z750 and riding school. I only clocked a total of 4 hours of riding school and I was all set for the exam - and got my B-full license. Again, I had an upper advantage coz I have my own bike to practise on.

Trust me, if an idiot like me can do it - I truly believe anyone else could do so. To put it into another perspective, Malaysia motorcycle license is one of the easiest to pass in the world. I have nothing against you or anyone paying your way through - but to do it legit sure gives you a better self satisfaction.

Finally, after more than a month I found this thread. Thought it got deleted. Btw lucifah, you joining Sibu bike week? I just reached Sibu half an hour ago.

i still wonder how u know the after 5 pub there? only oldfags know about that. have u been to my territory before?
