Hello everyone.....
Hope you guys are all right thumbup.gif
I'm planning to buy a motorbike mainly to use inside campus and to go places around uni and stuff, the thing is there're so many options and I can't wrap my head around which one is better, so my budget is around 3.5-4K, I need a bike that is durable, low fc, cheap parts, and good resale value, I was thinking maybe honda wave or future ( if someone can point the difference between these two other than the fuel tank i'd be thankful sweat.gif ), I heard Suzuki Shogun Axelo is a great bike too, don't have much of an idea about yamaha models.
all of the above models if I'm gonna get any of them, I'll be getting a used one of course since my budget can't get me a new one, the other option is to get local brand like modenas mr1 or demak ex but then I'll sacrifice the resale value and maybe even won't find someone who wants to buy it, lastly I'm gonna use the bike for three years max that's why I need something with good resale value since I'm a student here and I'll be leaving Malaysia once I'm done with my studies cry.gif
I'd be really thankful guy for some help icon_question.gif
THANKS IN ADVANCE smile.gif

3-4k can buy modenas -- www.modenas.com.my/v2motorcycle.asp?id=87

honda wave/future about 5k --- http://www.lazada.com.my/honda/

future use fuel injection got dedicated helmet compartment under seat

yahama can see lagenda it use fuel injection but also around 5k

maybe you could op for 2nd hand or up your budget

Thank u so much for the fast reply bro smile.gif
I have a couple of questions if you or anyone can help me with em

the prices above are for new one right!
which one would you recommend a new modenas or used honda in terms of quality and resale value?
are these sites trustworthy mudah, lazada??
and how would you go on examining a used bike since I don't have much of an experience with bikes? would you recommend taking the bike to a mechanic to test it for me?
Lastly, is 3.5 K sufficient to get me a used honda future??
cuz I've found few on mudah but I don't know if that's too cheap for honda which may mean that there's something wrong with the bike!!

Hello there

If you can spend 4k for a new one, new Honda ex5 is your choice.
Otherwise go second hand Yamaha lagenda 115z or old Honda ex5.

By the way, avoid demak if you don't want problem for your riding. smile.gif
