I would recommend a fuel-injected bike; just for easier maintenance. This '97 would still have the Carbs not the FI system yet and for 14k, nooo thanks. You can get a lot newer Ninja 250 for not much more than that.

Hmm. KTM RC250 - Sporty bike, very agile but not exactly comfortable.

Or the KTM Duke 250 - similar engine as before but more of the naked style and comfortable position.

But if you get closer to 20k, you can get a R25 or CBR250R. They are super reliable and easy to maintain.

Need to test first la the above bikes.

Just wondering though, between R25 and vulcan 500, which one would be comfortable? superbikes tend to be back breaking I heard (never ride for more than an hour using bike, so don't really know how bad it will be for the spine)

R25 is/can be comfortable, however it's never going to match a vulcan being naked/touring bike.
basically 2 different purpose bikes.

i've ridden over 1hour 30 minutes, no problem. had to stop because insufficient fuel doh.gif

oh you also 180cm or so?

if you dont always go above 150, ok la, no need to full tuck.

but good also, it is sorta an added comfort where by your arms can rest on your knees LOL!
so long distance i don't have fatigue on my upper body/arms despite tucked/fully tucked in.

i dont think bike shops let you test that far, you'll have to ask the shops.

of cos la vulcan more comfort. superbike likewise tend to make ur neck and wrist sore instead of ur back.

spine? ride any bike, u'll just need to keep in mind to relax and sit in correct pasture regarldless of any bike.

u naik kapcai pun boleh sakit blkg broo kalau duduk bongkok2

protips : exercise more to improve blood circulation around your body. u shall feel more relax when riding.

Mantap bro! Hahahaha.

Speaking of Welly, I heard they still offer loan kedai but quite high interest around 10%?
