Looking for daily ride to office.. about 80km per day (20%city 80% highway).  Any recommendation in lower maintenance and good fuel consumption? Looking at kawasaki Z250, ninja 250 and honda cbr250r.

i'm planning to get kawasaki z250 too for >95% city ride....

In my mind

KTM duke 250 ABS - rm18888
SYM T2 250i - rm13388
Benelli TNT300 - rm18990
Benelli TNT25 - rm12990
kawasaki Z250SL - rm14518

Which bike is more reliable, more service center & cheaper spare parts?

other than the 4 above do you have any other to recommend?

Ninja 250, as 80% highway.

Z250 are naked, doesnt have any wind protection.

CBR250 are a single piston bike, better to have a twin piston bike for highway riding.

i have read some comment that twin piston maintenance is higher than single piston. is it differ by alot?

bike newbie here, what are the difference btw a Kawasaki Z250(21K) vs Z250SL(15K)?

why the price difference ard 6K+ for same 250cc

biker bro, can help advise

cheaper on single stroke, expensive double stroke

bru, u mean z250sl is single piston while z250 is two piston?

yes.. yes it is...

I only know from earlier post > 1 piston ok for city ride; need 2 piston for more relaxing highway ride

one more question, maybe a stupid one to expert but serious to me.

does a one or two piston bike gives a different zroom zrommm sound when riding or same sound effect ?

i won't say 2 piston would be relaxing on the highway but it does not vibrate as much as 1 piston lol.

I've rode duke 200 and I'm currently on R25 and the vibration is massive. duke 200 would make my hands numb after 30 minutes of continuous riding (around 100km/h -120km/h) while r25 i can ride for one hour or more with less numbness on my hands.

sounds? depending on ur exhaust system, some 1 piston bike sounded so good while some 2 pistons bike sounded so bad.

no u won't get the sound like the 4 inline [COLOR=blue]ones... the 4 inlines sound is..... orgasmic....

ohh good that is a direct answer (in blue) to me then, thanks g3n0c, can you reckon a 4 inline 250cc bike in Malaysia. I really hope there is one out there   

Don't think there are any inline-4 250 already here. Long ago there was the ZXR 250 which sounder just great. Today, many bikes up to even 900cc are on twins already. Only bikes I can think of below 1,000cc with an inline-4 are the XJ6 series and the similar recond FZ6R by Yamaha and the CBR600RR by Honda...

Any other inline-4 below 1,000cc out there?
