lucifah I have been looking at bikes as of late and I did all my research. Would like if admin or another other group members can recommend me a starter bike.

Was think of a Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha around around 400cc but nothing more than 700. spoilt for choice and budget is around 30k. can someone help give me advice? and do i need to know how to maintain it like changing chains and do self maintenence? thanks in advance

I am from Kuching actually and I never ridden a bike in my whole life. No idea as of late I have been dreaming of riding a bike. Must be entering my mid life crisis. Well anyways. Honda CB500 sounds good. What about something from Kawasaki to compare to Honda CB500? thanks for the info. It narrows down my options.

which 250?
kawa got 4 model

ninja 250r / z250
ninja 250sl / z250sl
*
this is the part I scratch my head. Been reading the specs and everyting is so confusing not like buying a car.

QUOTE(mf_yamato @ Aug 19 2014, 02:42 PM)
or even cheaper 250cc class, Z250sl, ninja 250SL,
because it is a single cylinder bike..
hence cheaper..much relax riding position, and easy handling
*
Been haunting past threads like this

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1771976/all

and I am more confused. anyways I think the veterans here are right. get a license first.

do you have bike riding or at least cycling experience?

if you have totally zero, then i'd really suggest you familiarise yourself with a modep
riding a bike is very intimidating for first timer

i do cycle so balancing aint such a problem. I see you are from kuching too. Mind telling me which school to learn? I have a few biker friends who said theres one motor school who uses new Honda for their students. Forgot where already.

read my long post
from my exp
what u need in a bike
is not the power
its the handling + riding posture
ive used lot of bike vary from kapcai till superbike
now i end up using a middle weight bike
triumph street triple 675cc bike with 3 cylinder and another 1 imaginary cylinder for the whistling effect owai~
*
Just my two cents and I know I am a noob so I shouldnt be judging so much but I think Triumph bikes remind me of vintage bikes. Im only 26. Please dont whack me notworthy.gif

Btw guys i heard application of bank loans for bikes is hard to come by. So mind advising how you guys purchase your bikes?

P.S I think someone needs to start a sticky on everyone of Biker Threads on bikes for newbies and loan application or even DIY mechanical fix.

avangalice what is the kind of bike you want? do you have any idea of what you will want to do when you have the bike?
tapi tapi tapi aku noob  laugh.gif
wei go?  unsure.gif
mmm lawa moto  wub.gif

Torobo I would like a beginner bike that I can use for city commute not long distance. To be honest I have always dreamt of owning one sampai bermimpi two nights ago riding a red ducati. Cant over spend now so ill just stick to something around 20k to 30k. Monthly loans for car and house already 3300 per month.

Kawasaki ninja 250 2013 would be something I can afford next year

but is it even smart to be listening to music while riding? I can imagine the sounds of an incomming lorry being drowned by classical music.

I was thinking install bluetooth headset in helmet. Link bluetooth to ipad which is in the tank. Play spotify. Profit!
