Thanks for the suggestions guys. Still cant get over cbr250rr haha. But im looking at either r25 or ninja 250 2018..how do i choose based on pros and cons for ones preferred usage?
*
As some mentioned above , the 2018 ninja 250 (now comes with abs and non abs version) or the R25 (2018 or 2019 ones). I honestly find both to be similar, though I can't give a detailed comparison as I myself just started riding the r25, I'd say the r25 has better handle than the ninja in terms of weight and height , but the differences are pretty minute. You can also consider second-hand ninja 250 which are models before the 2018 ones.

Can Google around and see, but here's what I can summarize (not fully detailed)

2018 R25
Pros :
- cheaper than the ninja by rm5-6k (comparing brand new to brand new unit)
- "claimed by many" to have more aftermarket parts , modding parts are easily found online
- easy handling (lighter weight than the ninja)
- claimed by many to be the best performing bike in the 250cc bike category
- includes all the necessary parameters on the lcd screen up to date (the new 2019 model will be using full digital screen, including the rpm meter)
- easier to get parts (kawasaki is also said to be the same) compared to some other brand

Cons:
- bloody headlight is one sided , high beam will only turn two lights on.
- a few recalls , but thankfully I havent kena any
- heard not every slip on can be used on them due to the connecting area towards thea ccatalytic converter (have to recheck on this, I was told by some)
- limited colour , though still not bad
- No abs , even on the newer models
- normal brakes , nothing fancy
- tyres are nothing special , some have said it causes slipping while cornering though I've never experience it yet . But no biggie can always change



I can't give you the details pertaining to the ninja 250 but you can Google and comparea the specs they're more or less the same , but many have said new improvements have been made on the ninja. The above list is just what I've experienced and heard from, they're not complete nor are they 100% true (there may be some vague points which needs further reconfirmation)

No wonder haha , I do have to admit their screen cluster is way nicer than KTM's 200-250 range bikes, not too sure about reliability though. Thanks bro.

- "claimed by many" to have more aftermarket parts , modding parts are easily found online
hahaha not really lol, aftermarket stuff for r25 especially on the performace parts are quite hard to find... i have only seen a few performance aftermarket stuff

- easy handling (lighter weight than the ninja)
this is true. i kindda missed that nimbleness. my current bike is a leg day machine lol

- claimed by many to be the best performing bike in the 250cc bike category
best performing bikes "money to performance" ratio i think.

- includes all the necessary parameters on the lcd screen up to date (the new 2019 model will be using full digital screen, including the rpm meter)
the meter is ok la i guess... cant say much. even my current ride which is old af (12 years old) got LCD lol!

- easier to get parts (kawasaki is also said to be the same) compared to some other brand
dont know about the spare parts nowdays... i got a friend still waiting for his part and the bike was like how many months now at workshop lol...

Cons:
- bloody headlight is one sided , high beam will only turn two lights on.
lol of cos la....if i recall its mandatory for bikes to only have one headlight... dont quote me on that... most of the bikes nowdays have one light for low beam and one for high beam. also 2 headlights on would look like a car from far away. just my thoughts.

- a few recalls , but thankfully I havent kena any
i mean recalls are kindda good in a way. my r25 got 3 recalls, i only did one, the other two i did tell the new owner to do it himself if he wanted to. just book an appointment with HQ at sg. Buloh and u'll get free t-shirt while at it lol.

- heard not every slip on can be used on them due to the connecting area towards thea ccatalytic converter (have to recheck on this, I was told by some)
dont know... was running on a standard exhaust till i sold it.

- limited colour , though still not bad
i dont know about u but for me its more than enough lol.

- No abs , even on the newer models
true!

- normal brakes , nothing fancy
true, but i think its more than enough for me. i gotten into some trouble but the braking is sufficient enough to do a decent braking. just regularly change ur brake fluid and brake pad and u'll be golden

- tyres are nothing special , some have said it causes slipping while cornering though I've never experience it yet . But no biggie can always change
the factory's tyres are kindda bad on wet surface but excel on dry surface. i got like 12k km before i change to new tyres at the back and 20k km on the front.

Damn.. i miss that freaking bike...

I bought my Z250SL years ago from the Seapark branch. The Sunway branch is indeed another branch of their store, but they specialize in sales and stuff like accessories. The Seapark one is where you will want your bike serviced.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm still relatively new haha. About the aftermarket parts, I meant the "non performance and merely aesthetic" parts. But yes, you're right ! I've only seen bikeempire selling one full system for r25, not many varieties, while motodynamics does akra and sc (expensive af and limited varieties).

Edit: the new 2019 model now comes with LED and no longer single headlamp sad.gif damn.


What bike are you currently using ? I'm assuming a zx6r? Haha .
