im in dilemma between cb500x and versys...
any ridden both and can give review a bit?..
ala kadar nye review pun bole...
sebab nak cari commuting to work/jln2/blk johor...
terima kasih.
Either way, both also can use for the same purpose, but 2nd hand versys 1-2 yrs old bike, nowadays can get cheaper than 500x brand new, dollar to dollar i say versys better value for money. Some more running cost, minyak sama 2 botol, rantai tayar pun sama harga, why deprive yourself some better return for the same amount of output cost you pay?
Looks are subjective. When versys first came out at 2007, i said to myself, wtf is this ugly looking bike doing here!? Hell this shud not even be called a bike! It is a blasphemy, an abomination! In my mind, only bike that is called a bike, is supersports bike. Fast forward to end of 2011, i bought myself a versys. Ludah jilat balik.
In the end i realised that how a bike looks like, or how i looked like on a bike, doesnt matter. Maybe age caught up, or maybe i got wiser.. So as long as the bike fulfill what i want to do, and does it well, i couldnt care what other ppl see. I ride bike, to use the bike, not to park by roadside and pretend to be admiring how it looks like.
Keep in mind i am not promoting versys just because i ride one but i am telling you, as a rider, that indeed versys is the better bike. Hell even there was a review that versys is better than 700x!
But then again last said, money is yours you make your own decision.
