Hi there! I have zero riding experience. I attended couple of B Full classes in driving school, now only riding a clutch kapchai for practice in driving school since I have no bikes at home to practice. Currently I decided to get myself a SECOND HAND scrambler/mortard for practice and commuting.  I'm 5'5 (165cm) tall, but I believe the height problem is not an issue if I ride with riding boots. Budget is within range of RM4k-5k. At most is RM6K.

Current options I have in mind were:-
Demak DTM 150/200
KLX 150 s/l
Honda MTX 200
Honda CRF250L

Would like to know your thoughts on the list of options above. Other suggestions are most welcomed as well.

Okay bro. After some time of consideration, I have decided to go over my budget for a bit and buy the Kawasaski Z250sl which is a little bit more expensive than the second hand Kawasaki KLX150. I find it a realistic option as I find its riding position similar to the ER6N that is available in the driving school just that the cc is smaller. Do you think getting a Kawasaki Z250sl is a realistic approach for me to practice riding and to commute? In fact even if I passed my B full license test I will still be riding with this bike for another few years before I upgrade to a new bike with larger cc.

is it new or used?
if used, just buy z250. more reliable.
