why no consider KTM duke 200

looks very good with that 170 tyre and coupled with that front upside down telescopic fork, handling not bad

and KTM is quite reliable...

NEVER BUY megelli unless u're seeking for trouble

SYM T2 is too expensive for what they offer on the bike

regarding your license you dont need to take the test but you have to attend the boring class for your bike L license, after you get your L, you need to wait 1 month in order to take the test

wait a while for naza to rebadge the hyosung exiv 250 and see what price tag they put.. their prices are always competitive

yea duke 200 should be in my list too. in terms of performance/maintenance and resell value, is duke better than hyosung? in ur opinion is it worth waiting?
*
they announced it in india and say its to rival duke 200 biggrin.gif with better power output and cheaper pricing... well that was in india.. malaysia dont know yet.. but since Naza decided to CKD the bike, it will be cheap for sure rclxms.gif duke resale value is better than hyosung.... quality also should be better hmm.gif

basically what hyosung offer is almost the same with duke but with a cheaper price, the trade off is resale and QC issue laugh.gif

that bike actually looks pretty awesome. but the small little exhaust being at the bottom?? thats a bit weird hahaha.....
damn i wonder when naza will have this in malaysia. anyway how much would a 170tyre cost? basically just changing of tyre no upgrade of rims needed right?
*
yep stock rims on ktm 200 can hold 170 tyres... that little exhaust at the btm been adopted by alot of bike.. even the infamous ducati 1199 haha ... by reducing the length of exhaust system bike can be lighter ... and some mechanical advantage i dont understand tongue.gif something about lower bike so better geometry

the new rebadge hyosung should be coming soon someone went to naza factory and saw the parts

my dream bike would be kawasaki z250 omg so niceeee. but this is my first bike so i figured no point buying so expensive...might as well buy something cheaper and change later :/
btw any good second hand naked bikes other than duke?
*
how bout naza blade 250n and 650n .... its cheap secondhand bike due to resale value of hyosung.. it has a fun v twin engine.. but the looks of it is kind is kinda letoff... but the bells and whistles it offers are quite good

anyway why would u say megelli is trouble? maintenance?
*
megelli is having a hard time reaching 140.. also they are very troublesome. very bad QC issue, parts are hard to find too... basically nothing good except design

when you think power is not important, sometimes situational acceleration can save your life wjen riding a bike..

ive been in a situation where i need to get myself out of danger but my bike simply just dont have enuf power lol

i think megelli is frauding about their power output and the speedo isnt accurate

sorry i have to correct myself about the duke part.. the duke 200 non abs is using 150 mrf tyre as stock.. not sure the 170 js which version... that mrf tyre handles quite good at dry road...
