Hi guys I am thinking of getting a cruiser for myself. Are there any 250cc or less cruisers for sale new in malaysia? If not then what is cheapest entry level cruiser bike in malaysia?

kawasaki vnII ~RM26K
Naza Cruise 250 ~RM14K
Maybe a few other local brands

Those are new or second hand?

Demak cougar 250 used rm4k-6k

Brand new

take the B license, leave the 250 behind

It's not that I am afraid of a higher cc bike. It's I can't afford a higher cc bike haha

doesn't matter, get the license anyway. the fee is only going up.

250cc is smart. fuel saving. not heavy. price hike dont care.

i dont think so any high cc bikers ever put their bikes into maximum test. why? they die before they even realize they at max speed. such a wasted and foolish.

250 is just another motorcycle.. Heheheh

Wait for Kawasaki Vulcan S, uses ER6 engine. If the price follows, it's affordable.

Yours is rempit mentality..... top/max speed pfft....

welll [pls pm me price

But since it's imported I think the price gonna be double when it reaches Malaysia

Momos Daytona 350 looks good and priced at 16k.
but its 350cc

this one??

ER6N is about RM35K
so this Vulcan S could be around the same price

Yes

This vulcan 250 currently in the market is a old model isn't?

track day? 1/4 mile

just take the full B

correct me if i am wrong

maintenance of 250cc bikes is almost or maybe the same as >250cc and above

just engine oil level is different, others are the same

250cc kawa engine (2piston) use 1.9l engine oil.(2 bottle) - normal service RM140 for fully syn oil.
650cc kawa engine (2 piston) use 1.9-2l engine oil (2 bottle) - normal service rm140 for sully syn oil
806cc kawa engine (4 piston) use 3.4-3.6l engine oil (4 bottle) - normal service rm250 for fully syn or rm200 for semi syn..

that routine maintenance.. how about other parts i.e chain, sprocket, tyre...

Chain n sprocket for er6 n 250 normally can stand to 30k.. z800 can stand to 40k. But all depends on how u ride n the maintenance of the chain..

Tyre
250 -
front 120 70 - rm420 pr3
Rear 140 60 - rm450 pr4

650
Front 120 70 - rm420 pr3
Rear 160 60 - rm560 pr3

Z800
Front 120 70 - rm420 pr3
Rear 190 55 - rm670 pr3

so.. not that much different ..

Nah

Triumph Rocket III, yes can buy for about RM140K

Lol for that price I seriously would just consider buying a car.

Yes, but a car is not a bike. A car is a car.

RM180 for tubes
RM70 for workmanship

next year only

How about DORADO Black Knight 250 (EFI)?
http://www.benelli.keeway.my/doradoblackknight250.php

Yea this is cool too and can just get B2 to ride it. Cheaper as well haha. In consideration.

I don't think can buy new anymore right? Also I identified another bike. Daelim daystar

Ive booked daystar vl250i. Waiting for jpj tender number to release.

I also had a hard time to choose these cruisers for below 250cc. V-twin vs single cilinder, carb vs fi, oil cooled vs water cooled, china vs korean. But take some time to read online review on these cruisers before making decision.

At the end i settled with the most fuel saving and easy to maintain bike. Yes i know the engine sound from single cylinder aint that much exciting.

Daelim daystar owner here

The best single cylinder fuel injection cruiser in malaysia so far

Have gone rising to cameron, teluk intan, karak, genting highland and melaka

Now clock 13k mileage

Spare part available at Batu Caves MLE centre

They also have accessories for it

Have one faulty part but since it's under warranty they quickly fix on that very day

Bought it cash for 16k otr

What about fuel efficiency? I would assume it would quite good since it's a single cylinder. Also I don't think I will get it outright but I think the interest rates for bikes are too high sigh.

Also, how many years warranty is given for the bike?

My dad use it for daily usage, so very fuel efficient


Fuel tank at 17 litre. At average 120 km/ph can go up to 300+ km mileage

The engine itself based from Honda engine so reliability so far so good

Top speed 140 km/ph on gps which is normal for 250cc cruiser (you need big windshield due to wind blast)

I bought at teck sim motor at selayang, you can ask the how much deposit need and the interest

Good for people who don't have B full license


Warranty is standard 1 year like every other manufacturers

I think waranty is 2 years or 22k km on the brochure if im not mistaken.

Hoho... I have to eat my words

wait until official price..
RM29,999.99 not including 6% GST

Lol I have a feeling it will be like that. Sellers always stay the under how much shit even if it's just rm1 below it.

That isn't too bad. Considering that VNII is already ~26K, for a 250cc.

I'm curious about the components...
Is the headlight plastic or metal chrome?

Are they using fake chrome (eg plastic) on other components on the bike?

Metal chrome

Some part of plastic nevertheless they withstood some accident before

Almost 20k now, no major breakdown so far, furthest i ride to Tanjung Piai

So trip like 700+ km on 2 days

Only pump twice during those trip

hi, wanna ask anyone can give review on the keeway black knight ? any major issues or is the bike value for money ? doing research for my cousin, wanna buy it for nearby use to gym and food....also compared to Naza cruise ? which would you recommend as this 2 bikes are priced similiar..thx

Summoning complete! Not much activity here. We need this kind of info. Anyway, Vulcan S owner here.

Im still not buying one..hahah budget constrain lately.m:(

Yes, value vs personal economy somehow expensive bike can never cut into small budget. It's not what I need but more towards wanna try how it feels. Something as big as Vulcan in a busy lane is a scary thing really.

If im buying.. it gonna be my daily ride to office.. which somehow.. the opex cost sure be high....hahah

For KL lah, kapcai is the king. Senang to squeeze between the cars but not really economy either. Anything wider than a kapcai you'll might have to treat it like driving a car. Sure can cilok a bit with big like as I often see BMW GSa with all the side boxes weaving through the traffic.

Opex?

operating expenditure heheheh another one is CAPEX.. capital expenditure (Buying motor)

Vulcan S story. Total miles riden: 460km, still in breakin.

Just came back from a 76km journey. It has been like 12 years since I last rode a bike for a long trip and boy I really need to be fit because it's quite tiring even after that short distance.

Power
For me the bike is good enough that in 6th gear you just open the throttle to overtake it'll give you sufficient power to do so. But drop to 5th then the better it gets. I came from a kapcai straight jump to this so the power delivery is of course unheard of eventhough my Honda Hurricane can go up to 120kmh with just carburetor mod. Give it an engine mod then it might play within the legendary Siamese Honda Nova Dash (not our version of honda dash ya) territory. At 650cc it's good enough, more tha enough for me really.

Comfort
Loud exhaust, could be better seating. As I am a short person of 166m only, it gives me quite a few disadvantages like the handle reach although I can operate it I wish that the handle 2 inch closer to me. Gear level is like 1 inch too high so I had to lift my heel onto the peg to comfortably change the gear, if not I have to do it with the tip of my shoe which is not a good position.

The seat left something to be desired so maybe aftermarket parts can do the justice. My hurricane seat is far more comfortable but yea the vibration from a single piston 2 stroke will cancel that comfort. Vulcan s vibrates too at higher rpm but not as bad as my honda. Still if you dont wear gloves then you'll end up with numb hands after a long trip. As for the exhaust, it's loud because of after market AHM brand. Head turns at traffic light. The shock absorbing system is quite hard but I need that in corners. Funny but I can use my body force to sway the bike like it's a small bike. You're swinging 220kg.

FC and capacity
I give it 17km/l. Sometimes it says 27km/l, next 16km/l. When the fuel gauge at E, I had to stand straight the bike to try to squeeze rm20 worth of ron97 but cannot la. Rm 19.17 it's full already. I hardly break 120kmh and rev limited to 4k in 1st-5th gear and 6k in 6th gear. There's eco icon on the lcd screen when I wisely used the throttle.

Handling
OK. I dare not try to 'canai' my pegs but the lean angle is good enough. Of course la not superbike level, this is just a damn cruiser but it gave me a grin already. Brake is good but i have yet to try it in emergency or do the hard breaking stuff yet compared to my honda. Shock damper could be softer but I think I have to trade the hard setup for agility and braking response.

Muka rm3k, monthly rm512. Rm20 weekly for 300km plus minus. That's all for now

Nice share bro. Will really help me out when I get my own Vulcan S in the future. You took 7 years loan bro?

Vulcan s got special accessories ergofit where u can adjust the ride according to ur need

Not in malaysia I think. Purposely importing will be very expensive.

Yea 7 years. Paying cash is still not my level yet. It's like rm43,008 with Aeon credit mayhem. Roadtax rm250 a year with insurance it's like rm1.2k.

The shop say it can be adjusted at least the foot pegs. The seat and handlebars that will cost a bomb like rm300-400 each. I'll give the shop a visit after this. Next weekmis a busy day tho

Tiring in what sense?

I use my Vulcan as a mode of transportation to work , to and fro about 100km , mon - fri. Not tiring at all.

It could be that you are still not used to the bike (460KM) and not familiar with the position of the foot pegs since you used to ride a kapchai before this.
Give yourself some time and you'll love it.

One thing I noticed about the engine is that the rev must be at least 3500rpm - 4000rpm. Anything below that, the engine will vibrate.

How does the AHM mufflers sounds like? Which type of muffler you using? any pic?
I would like to get something bassy and solid.

Just a note if you are planning to get a Vulcan or any cruisers with forward pegs for street/city use.

Especially when you are caught in a traffic jam or riding in slow city speed, you will feel the heat from the engine on your lower leg (ankle area). Unless you are wearing a high-cut riding boots. Worse is when the high speed fan is running, it will blow hot air (very hot) onto your ankles.

Yea still not used to having to ride for a long journey. The first timer is taxing for 'ayam daging' like me who seldom break a sweat in a whole week or even the whole month. It's better than riding a horse really tho.

Yes it's quite a vibration under that mark.

As for the exhaust, the keyword is 'AHM vulcan s'. Pics inside fb together with YouTube video link. Mine is the single barrel.

Thanks.

But I'd love to get a sports type muffler...don't wish to spoil the modern-sports cruiser look on the VulcanS.
This type:


The Akrapovic on this ER6N sounds good.
Not sure if I will get this same sound when it is installed on a VulcanS (same engine, different tuning)

Hmm. Hardly can justify any sound coming from Youtube but it should be loud enough to ring your neighbors at 2-3am. A friend of mine said, in the dead silence morning 1am, he still can hear my exhaust 600m away to tell that I dont rev the engine.

So if you come home at 1am++, you gotta shut off the engine and push your bike home from 600m away.

Did he call you a nuisance? Haha.

Tahniah bro..

U took aeon finance? What is price before finance?

Well you put jealous, tired and misunderstanding you'll get the heat.

Tq bro. Cash can do rm30k but you know la poison like side bag, engine guard, radiator guard and accessories whatelse sure cannot do with just 30k. Atleast prepare to spend 33k. Yes with aeon credit. It's like 43k for 7 years. I rushed to buy this to mess with my bank statement so that I won't be able to straight jump from a kapcai to a Ducati Diavel last month or prolly this year. Am waiting for XDiavel really.

Peekaboos
