NS. The lighted controls look real cool at night! Plus, bigger engine USUALLY means lesser stress for long distances for both machine and rider.

I am currently riding ns200. Nitpick is the left hand control which is too bulky hence with a small palm or hand you might need to loosen the grip to get the turn signal working. Well, signal first then clutch is easy but when you're in tight position be aware of this.
People with 28cm or lower inseam (the inside of a pants from crotch to lowest opening/ankle) cannot flat-footed so one leg on the peg will do the job. Too, you will slightly lean ahead because of the short reach so the weight of the helmet or a loose helmet will play with you. There will be slight pressure on your wrist.
Vibration can be felt at the grips but I havent try this bike for a longer trip than 10km per way so I cant say it will get you in the long run. The bike is light really and tall, giving me a sense wobbly on the first few runs.
Since I own and ride a 650 forward control cruiser, Im kinda used to it so when jumping on this 200cc it felt weird and the power, heh, well better than my kapchai. For me la, I think I will go Y15 route for more towards neutral less cramp seating position but for milage fz150 or ns200 wins.

how bout a bike with ABS for extra safety. like modenas rs200 or nvx155. fell down multiple times before on wet road + emergency braking because incoming car swerved to my lane suddenly. without ABS, even u use michelin / pirelli tyres (trust me, i've experienced it) u will fall down. i'm travelling 130km to work daily. used to ride rr150 & r25 before. but sold it because not satisfied with the hard braking performance. then i bought two nvx155 (one for my wife). now happily & confidently riding to work everyday. hehe

For Bajaj/Modenas NS200.. Offcourse more power and the bike made and tested on the condition worst than Malaysia road, with weird technology such as 3 spark plug and others, not many mechanic bawah pokok in Malaysia knew how to wrench Bajaj NS200... For keep i would say choose the FZ150i but for fun per KM.. get the NS200 + ABS.. its a life saver .. trust me

Personally i go with Y15zr. Just replace the front with bigger tyre (need to mod a little bit front mud guard) then you golden.
Ayam say that because ayam also almost same with you on everyday home to work distance. Use to go work with new proton saga vvt but in the end poket total kering at end of month.
Ayam don't recommend bajaj as one of ayam engineer from india mention most of bajaj motorcycle he saw is only good for 1st year. 2nd year be ready to repair a lot he say due to quality of material is not so good (that what he say lah but ayam have no idea he bluffing or not as ayam just want to share only)

QUOTE(Justin.Loong @ Apr 23 2018, 11:09 AM) ABS function is to prevent brake locking, hence the name is ABS (anti-lock brake system. changing to steel braided brake hose / brembo brake caliper / brembo brake disc may improve the braking performance bro. BUT it will not prevent brake locking under hard braking. this is because the ABS system is linked to ur bike ECU. that's why if u google around, many people is looking to add ABS system to their big bike (which does not have in the 1st place, example of bike: kawasaki er6, etc) but there is no way around it, since it's linked to ECU. it's not just plug & play one. the only alternative for them is buy another bike which is fitted with ABS.
