I also am looking for my 1st bike. If I wise for me take z800? By the way I will use this bike to travel from PD to Perlis. Maybe twice a month max.

how short?

if u want speed, the 6n is not a good choice. going around 140km/h u oledi cannot tahan the wind. must have arm as big as arnold schwazenegger then can

if u wwant speed on a budget, the 6f is a better choice

u r good to go then.

i'm 165cm and can comfortably stand on the 6n, with one leg flat foot, and another leg on the footpeg

6f and 6n have the same geometry, just an additional fairing, and a slightly longer, and lower handlebar

many sifu here will advise you against lowering the bike. it messess up the handling

i just use the softest preload setting, at no 1 (7 steps) for the rear shock, which effectively lowers the bike by about 1/2" in stock form. luckily i'm lightweight, just 60kg.

and trust me, u dun need both legs to be flat footed to enjoy the bike. it's how u handle the bike. plus, wearing riding boots add an extra 1"

short distance ok . not comfortable cos toe and heel area is armored. sole is quite stiff

u want to walk in shopping mall? looks too bling bling liao.

of course that is just racing / touring boots. if u get everyday riding boots, it looks more like safety shoes / office shoes nia.

depends on whether u like to have road rashes all over your arm and shoulders - this is the least damage u gonna get if u fall

u never know when u will fall, slide or crash. so always wear for the crash. atgatt.

at least a jacket, riding boots and gloves, with jeans and a good ff helmet

u ride to college?r u a lecturer?eheh i aslo plan to get  one ER6F nt Z800 hehe

lol wont la coz just a 30k++ de bike  equal to oen viva only don worry ehhe

0.0 when u will get it? where  u from?

Wear fullface helmet + high quality riding gear (+gloves etc) sure look cool. , people will assume that you already have a car and house before you have a bike like this, you will receive compliments from your friends and good thing is it will boost your ego

Full face, jacket (G. AVRO PELLE etc), gloves, kevlar jean, short boot...

Full racing suit will be too much to attend classes unless you are heading toward to sepang trackday or genting... 

It's more of a safety thing.. you know

About the amoi stuff, well.. they are probably looking at you because you are attractive.. that feel good man, who wouldn't want girls to stare

Not to mention that the new ER6F is so attractive..

wondering y no ppl mention about  Yamaha XJ6? 4 storke engine

call your insurance first and report your claim

they will ask you to go to any of their appointed workshop

then the work shop will estimate the repair / adjuster come in to approve

after that they will repair the bike

just give ur insurance agent a call on monday
edit: for more info, u can ask sara. he still waiting for adjuster to approve the 26,000 repair bill for his rabbit

side box on touring bike is supernice looking imo. but never, the top one.

Why aa i see many bike don't have their tail (rear mudguard)? Are there any technicalities or just a matter of fashion.

Since nobody replied. I went ahead and read the whole thread. Lotsa great info. I think I'm interested in the ninja 250. Planning to get a used on tho, due to budget constraint and a possible near future upgrade. Now all I have to do is get fund for a 17k bike.
