i know which one is the worst. megelli - since it's china made

second worse? naza blade, since it's a re-badged korean hyosung

honda cbr250 is a 1-CYLINDER engine, for god's sake. it sounds like a yamaha LC135

Z250 and Ninja250r are siblings. they are the best. but pricewise, they are EXPENSIVE

1.cbr is 1 silinder

2.ninja250 n z250 sama 2 silinder parrallel bezanya ninja more like superbike becoz got fairing and for me not worth getting ninja brand new as its super xpensive and god know how long u will use it before u r tempted to upged ur lesen n bike(its 25k non SE one u can get 2nd hand 2011 ER6 for that price)

3.megeli is not proven reliability bike yet so its cheap and if u ask me not worth risking it

4.blade 250 2 silinder L or V twin(dun remember which) more powerful than 2 silinder paralel but usually got issues becoz its korean made hyosung but its cheap n worth it as the issues now has reduced greatly and even with issues its not as bad as u cannot use the bike

1 - issues with naza blade 250
- feel heavy
- rough engine
- the back cylinder prone to overheating issue
* oil cooled V engine common prob

2 - CBR250 single
- better torque than ninja250
- easier to ride in town

3 - ninja250
- twin cylinder
- reliable n proven engine
- old tech engine

4 - megelli - no comment

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

maintanance wise
all about the same unless major parts needed to be change

using 1 so far superb eventhough its 1-CYLINDER. FC very good so far for me

no problem so far, i like it very much, fun to drive. But not so good for long distance i believe

downside? the price i think

For a 250cc it is big jump going to 600cc but definitely worth more of money at 22k for 250cc while 33k for 600c.

Z250 is RM21589. Just less RM1000 from normal Ninja 250L 2013 (the fairing one).

Please make sure you will include cost of maintenance for 600cc. Because, it will definitely more than 250cc.

simply go for Naza Blade 250R or N....with RM14000 price, u save around RM10000..with Rm10k saving, you can simply spare for maintainance after that...

not bad after all the blade since i got so many friends using it...either daily or weekend bike...u can simply dig an information about this bike in FB...plenty of time to think and re think...

for me, kawasaki ninja 250 are simply pricey for 250cc...

Kawasaki 250r are simply pricey of course but that blade250r are basically worthless imo..it had problematic with efi sensor, stand switch malfunction, bad cable clutch housing, harsh engine n gearbox shifting, bad air cool system, loosing screw n nuts dropping out, soft monoshock, super high preload monoshock for big bike feel, super big tyre for so called big bike feel but weak n soft monoshock...those problems are identifiable and happens for user that uses less than 5k km...honestly I rather pay the extra 10k n get a safer bike...

its cheap for 250cc category but if its so problematic and u wanna gamble your life with that machine then u can go on...i had a friend have 2 major problems happen to him while riding n almost get bang n die

1) clutch cable broken only bout 4k mileage (6 month to 10 month old bike) can't really remember exact figure...and the clutch cable broken during riding bout 100km/h not still. Imagine how dangerous u can't shift


2) the bike after riding at 100km/h..suddenly the bike jerks n the bike's engine is off. After repair, the problem detected its due to EFI sensor malfunction (engine too hot its seems) and side stand sensor is too hot(malfunction)...and yea u must understand that the bike's engine is off when the bike is rolling probably bout 80km/h back then..u probably crash n die on the spot

i won't complain much if the engine or gearbox is harsh n all coz its cheap but those deadly malfunction can cause u to die on road man...if u r experience rider, at least u can control it or so called evade but if u r inexperience rider(for sure u gonna die when problems like this happen)


and conclusion, my friend sold off the bike after repaired n tell me never to get naza blade especially the 250 model...650 model seems to have lesser problem

look in mudah.my, theres one used unit selling for rm8k. With pretty low mileage.


From what Ive heard personally, this bike shifts very smooth. The shifting uses minimal effort.

parallel twin feels like a baby subaru sound while single cylinder sounded a bit like kapcai in my opinion..the duke parts generally will be more expensive compared to the z250 but single cylinder in future will be easier and lower to maintain compared to parallel twin (but not a big gap)

but if u compared parallel twin n inline 4( expenses big gap in future)

honda cbr250 is a 1-CYLINDER engine, for god's sake. it sounds like a yamaha LC135

Z250 and Ninja250r are siblings. they are the best. but pricewise, they are EXPENSIVE

parallel twin feels like a baby subaru sound while single cylinder sounded a bit like kapcai in my opinion..the duke parts generally will be more expensive compared to the z250 but single cylinder in future will be easier and lower to maintain compared to parallel twin (but not a big gap)

but if u compared parallel twin n inline 4( expenses big gap in future)

I'm going to use it for an hour drive so I think I'm better off with z250 but, duke 390 is real sexy and much better torque!

duke 390 just launched, its so new in the market..problems not yet been rectified so a bit dangerous to be a new buyer..haha but special in the sense that is still rare...KTM sparepart generally will be more expensive compared to Kawasaki somemore seeing DUKE 390 is bigger CC..parts definately more expensive than the Z250...it really depends on you which bike suits u more..basically u need to be sincere to urself on how much u basically earn minus with your commitment? gf/wife/family/car loan/car maintenance?..if u r driving perodua/proton range car..u gonna face problems that ur bike parts n maintenance generally almost the same or higher than the DUKE and Z250..so then be sincere bout it

What about Ninja?

CBR 250 I think is better choice from all 3.

uve narrowed down to just the single piston 250cc bikes. haha..


maintenance wise, more or less the same. Which is better is subjective. As in this case, you are not comparing with ninja. Or else, ninja is the better option. Haha..

all 3 can do daily good enough. cbr250 will have more top end speed thanks to the fairing. The slowest would be the 200 duke. T2 stands in the middle.


Id go for cbr250.

im the user of z250 here is the feedback from me.

for maintenance wise...it cost me about rm200++ every 2 months since this machine required 2.2L engine oil (which means rm50 for every 3 belray engine oil and oil filter)

it depends on the oil engine.... if you prefer to use semi syn.. it will cost you about rm40 per bottle....

i think it is same with ninja 250.... unless if you go for z250SL or ninja 250SL... if im not mistaken those machine required bout 1.2L engine oil only
