QUOTE(terencewtc @ Jul 3 2015, 12:31 AM) Are you KTM owner? Nah I'm not a KTM owner, my friend rides one and he says it is relatively light. Not sure about the durability though.They have announced new KTM RC250 right? KTM RC390 is it durable and can tahan for long distance ride(like penang - kl)? Yeah, they announced the new KTM250, I always get my news from moto malaya . net (no spaces) |

QUOTE(terencewtc @ Jul 3 2015, 12:09 AM) I'm more likely to the full fairing u got ur B full already?But mostly with the same engine and performance as i know As i mention, I do care about performance and durability, looks is second consideration if not go get B full first, find a school that have er6n and u will know how easy it is to handle a 650 bike no nid to get 250 300 390, waste time n money only... |

I've been riding my Ninja 250R for almost 4 years.
3 years going to long distance ride almost every week. JB - Kuala Selangor. And it is working wonders ! In my opinion as long you can maintain around 140 - 150 on the highway, its good enough. And it is a good beginner bike. |

hehe i didnt recommend er6n as i noticed TS prefer more full fairing type...
TS.. u should have those bikes a trial first just to get a fell.. i used my er6n for my daily rides and it work wonders blazing thru jams in KL... maintenance sides..just jaga minyak hitam n oil filter the most la... oh ya one more thing....dont listen to people asking u to change your tire every 10k... change only when you need to... |

I have make a very long thought because don't want to waste money and time Either straight away go to 500cc or 600cc and change bike after 10 years OR Go for the 250cc for 2-3 year and 1000cc later |

Thanks for the advice!How about Honda CBR250R although it's a single cylinder, lower power, but i heard the quality and handling is the best among the 250cc. What do you think? That's why need to find someone who got the bike and test-drive... |

What do you think about 2013 Ninja 250? The fastest speed i ever archived was around 170kmh. and thats it. Haha. 2013 ? Quite good. I do think it is faster than the old ninjas. |

Just sharing my experience to TS. Just got my ER6N 1 week ago for daily work commuting. Didn't expect it to be so easy to breeze through kl traffic and jam. I upgraded from my old Kawa 150 cc bike and I must say the power and torque is superb and a joy to have. Car used to not let me pass now also move aside automatically.
On the highway or straight road, can easily pull away from traffic with a light twist on the throttle. Never felt so easy to hit 200kmh. My mind was blown the first time and coming from a 2 stroke 150cc torqueless bike. No regret and very happy I got this bike. |
