This is subjective. If you ask me, go with a second hand 250. Later dah terrer, sell the 250 and upgrade.
If you want to get 600cc-800cc-1000cc, its okay too. Just have to know your limit. Even with a litre bike, doesn't mean you can straight do knee down like Rossi (unless you are really talented).

okay, noted. will take into consideration. Just want to ask, does any bank finance used bike? if buy from personal seller, where can i get the loan done?

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 13 2016, 03:06 PM)
uh, any bike fall also, can be fatal.
kapchai can certainly hit 100kph, a crash at 100kph wont be pretty no matter how you see it.

then going on the 250, not hard to reach >150kph
crash at 150kph + any vehicle squishing you after you're on the ground, chances are you're a goner anyways. no difference on a liter bike if you ask me, maybe >300 kph crash, straight die without feel/pain, better kot.

i doubt R3 will be that cheap because non HLY official import, but if you got lobang, by all means la.
i didn't really pay much attention to R3.
it's ENTIRELY up to you. everyone got their opinions. ask most of my friends they will call me sohai because get b full and stick with 250cc. a lot of people especially richer ones straight get liter bike as first bikes also. license terus buy je no need bother jpj.

their choices, their call.
xemoboyx

i can attest to that.
even in the r25 group, those experienced riders on karak wont even bother to brake, sweeping corners at >180kph

they were pulling away or even disappearing from my vision in just a corner or 2, i look at my speedometer also 160kph already.

my experience/capability gap between them are as clear as day lol.
*
but for a kapchai to reach up to 100kph compared to 1 liter bike.. The throttle input is my concern, later i anyhow accidently throttle too much, rear slide out, then crash. that is my main concern, not crashing at 150kph. because crashing at that speed is like asking for it.

btw, can u buy a bike without license?

reason why i dun wanna a bigger bike is because im scared of falling. 300cc is like the balance between 250 and 600, not too slow, and still can catchup with a few 600 (from my youtube review opinion  sweat.gif )

r3 now a days go for 20-23k, ninja 300 go for about 25k ish.. seems okay. bigger bike like z800 start at 35k used. While it might seem like a bargain, i just don't wanna fall.

Yeah that is the issue with heavier bikes. You will get used to it though. Everyone drops their bikes by accident. I remember my first time getting on a 500cc after riding a 125cc, jatuh bodoh on the first attempt to turn at slow speed laugh.gif

I agree with Cyphereza on starting on a second-hand 250. Cheaper and if you drop it, less expensive and painful compared to accidentally dropping a brand new S1000RR in your parking lot.

You can also try a second-hand ER6N. 650cc bike that's popular with training schools, very easygoing and very similar in size to a Ninja 250. Way more power than a 250cc too. Quite cheap nowadays as well for secondhand pre-2012 models.

Yup, another reason for starting on a 250. More forgiving. Move on to the superbikes once your throttle control is good enough to manage a sensitive throttle.

i dropped my brand new r25 within 2 hours of ownership, as i didn't know how to shift to neutral cry.gif
dropped again in 2 months because i dunno how to properly handle the paddock stands alone. cry.gif
bumped into a friend's scooter yesterday and had a minor scratch on the fairings (lucky both of us no problem), at this point, ah fuck it lol.

used er6n on mudah like 15k? makes buying a r25 with b full license damn stupid (yes that's what a lot of people told me dry.gif )

Yup. If I topped up 4k more I could've gotten one instead of my Ninja 250r. Consoling myself with the a)cheaper insurance and roadtax b) somewhat cheaper running costs c)Ninja 250r looks smexier on most days brows.gif

That's why during the classes, they teach the theory behind the riding and how to handle the bike. that's why the cones are set up and you're thought to ride around them.

Then theory again to review the videos, and finally they remove your front brake lever.... just pure throttle control to navigate the course.

I didn't get the pleasure of learning how to handle the bike.
Instructor asked me, "know how to ride?". I said yeah. He replied, "K, go take bike, do the titi, slalom, emergency brake, 8, sharp corner, etc. Jangan jatuh aaa..." sweat.gif
