the secret to not feel you need to upgrade is... never test 1000cc bikes after you buy

lol managed to borrow my friend’s cbr rabbit few years back and luckily i don’t have the itch for that, at least for now. 😂

it's not the noise, it's how the bike feels
do you mean TXR150?
how fast can Xmax go comfortably? is it good for 120? or should it be slower?
even the 765RS is good... for a while
there's the Triumph buzz, not sure how you soak up to that
one thing good, with the Moto2 homologation, this engine will be supported for a while, just like the old CBR600RR
if you like those literbikes, they cruise at 120 at lower rpm than most, around 5250... and older ones even below 5k RPM, albeit 4 cylinder
modern performance oriented bikes are geared lower, as you can see with the Trident vs Street Triple
I will just get >900cc bikes, with MT09 as bare minimum
"with more power is easier to go slow"
yes TXR150 pardon my typo.
for xmax, 100-120 is the sweet spot with the speed cut at around 140-150.
heard about the triumph buzz but since nobody around me owns a triumph, its a bit hard for me to imagine 😅.
another thing that i wonder is how good are these bike in low speed, manouvering KL traffic.
