Ok, all set for R25. But wondering what is the difference between the one that in the promotional image/video ridden by Rossi, and the one that is available in the market. Mcm got a bit of differences where the one in the promo looks meaner and sexy. Aren't they are the same bike?

generally what others replied
1) it's rossi custom bike/prototype/more lawa
2) dat tire
3) probably full set ohlins (about 2k+ or so for the rears alone, 1k+ for the fronts)
4) probably full custom akrapovik, which iinm 2-3k
5) notice the handle bar height laugh.gif
6) custom/less funny positioning tank as well
7) custom seats

it'll take a lot of money to make the bike to be almost/completely the same, if its even possible.
most would think it's not worth it especially being a daily ride sweat.gif

generally people would just tell you to get a 6xx cc/liter bike lol

i wasn't sold from rossi ad (actually i dont think i've seen it.) but watch this cheesy one lol:

1. Daily rides to office, 10-20km per day but next year will be 40-50km per day (cyber/Putrajaya to KLCC daily), so might use MEX a lot.

2. Occasional weekend riding with friends

3. That might be fun to ride in Sepang Circuit

Riding experience: none. Just normal kapcai to work daily years ago.

So as usual, before embarking into any new purchases, I googled and youtubed everything, hence I have narrowed down to 4 bikes:

Yamaha R25
Kawasaki Ninja 250
Yamaha R6
Kawasaki zx6r

All sportbikes so far... why not try....A TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE? drool.gif rclxm9.gif

user posted image

Fits the bill for 1 & 2 but not so sure about Sepang. How often will you go to a track? Maybe the sportier-looking Thruxton will be worth a look too, for the latter?

One of my neighbours bought a Bonneville recently. Now it's a highlight of my day walking past it to and from my bike in the garage. Bonerville ohmy.gif

I went for the local Triumph dealership's test ride session last year. Me on a Street Triple following one of their staff on a Bonneville. He was really hustling the thing down Penang's back roads and I could barely keep up. Don't underestimate them.

Triumphs use quite a bit of Japanese parts now as well. IIRC one of the shop guys said that the Street Triple can use Kawasaki oil filters. Could make a difference in servicing costs.

Other than that, out of the 4, considering your experience, I'd just say Ninja 250r. It's been around a lot longer. One guy rode through the Himalayas on one. They are readily available second hand, older models are around 9k-10k, glorious fuel-injected models are available in Malaysia and Kawasaki is widespread in Malaysia and Thailand. You can get on with riding straight away and less likely to get potato'd by one of the 600cc bikes.

i'd like to say the same, but generally people want to wake up early (say, 8am/9am tayar golek) as it's less hot riding during that time.
and if go back early before noon, can still somewhat evade the sun laugh.gif

who knows we'd be done by 11ish lol

looking to buy a bike for daily commute, and also some fun. I have no experience with a bike, but recently my friend, in the same shoes as me, picked up a z800, this gave me some confidence and balls to own a bike

i have been looking at lc135 for some daily riding just to get some experience on 2 wheel, but then my friend recommend me r25, and with some research, i saw the ktm rc390.

of this 2, the r25 and rc390, which should i get for daily commute? my work place and home is 18km, and i use kesas and ldp most of the time. Eventually, if i have the balls, i would try out some sporty riding, but for now, it is just for daily commute.

any advice sifu?

on the commuting side, i'd lean to the r25.

but if you have the budget and getting b full anyways, rc390 seems like a better choice.
i personally don't like it's looks so i slashed it off my list however since you mentioned it i would assume you like it.

it seems odd to me that the 250 have a slipper clutch while the 390 doesn't or am i missing something here?

Yep, that's a real problem. Can't remove a 1-pc suit fast enough in "emergency defecation situations".

sure they help.

but some people have varied opinions... basically if you can understand braking and traction without the use of those electronics/aids, adding them along with what you already know/can do will benefit even more as opposed to being reliant on them from the beginning.

besides, TC are generally only available to mid/high end bikes which may exceed your existing budget.

hahaha almost accident, who'd knew it was that girl i've mentioned before XD
rode scooter instead of her pimped out R25

_____________________________________

anyways quick review on the Kriega R25, first time riding:
- being a lifetime on a conventional backpack/laptop back, it feels weird to not have weight on the back.
- only 2 major compartment, totally not used to "just stuffing everything to one compartment lol"
- the upside, i actually get to pack my rain coat/pants in as available space is abundance! biggrin.gif
- the sternum part was a tiny bit suffocating, but probably because i strapped the locking system really really tight lol
- strapping on does take an additional minute or so to pull the locking mechanism. though supposedly, you can set and forget, albeit the room for your arms (with armored riding jacket) can be limited. then again, i was used to the conventional backpack that was restrictive anyways. maybe can try it out later when i'm leaving office.
- riding at speed feels awesome lol, can't feel anything besides the slight pressure on the sternum which i tend to rest it on the tank anyways. surprisingly it doesn't look aero dynamic especially compared to the ogio mach/Dainese D mach

one con so far:
- i had a habit to rest my backpack on the rear seat on slow rides/stops as the height is somehow just right rofl, doing this now does... nothing. doh.gif
