Ninja manufacture year somewhere in between 2014 - 2016.

Most of my friends said ninja is way better than blade, but the new is out of my budget and I'm quite sceptical about used bike maybe because im a shit owner lmao.

Some additional question

1.How much can be consider good mileage for used bike up to 2-4 years?

2. Some kedai offer after sale service , insurance, maintenance and free gears and shit. But are they only applicable for people who purchase using their instalment plan? How bout those who use personal loan from bank instead?

3. What does SL and SE and other abbrv means?

4. Will chicks pandang2 u or mostly dudes?

when it comes to a 250cc bike.... better to get used coz u may get bored of it rather quickly and get the itch to upgrade....this way u minimize the loss when re-selling the bike. u may even be lucky enough to sell the bike for the same price u bought it for.

as for naza vs kawasaki.... no brainer la.. kawasakit definitely

1/ 30-40k i guess..if 40k, make sure valve clearance is done. i didnt check this earlier with the ex owner of my bike and when i wanted to send the bike for its 80k valve clearance, it turned into a top overhaul instead and costed me RM2k.

2/ ull need to check this with the shop. some may allow, some may not

3/ for the kawasaki, ignore the SLs this series is the single cylinder 250cc and are quite prone to issues. get the parallel twin aka 2 cylinders instead this engine has proven itself for over a decade. SE - special edition

4/ dudes mostly

During my approx. 1 year ownership of a Ninja 250r I kena pandang the most from small children.

Guys, pretty rare surprisingly. Mostly petrol station attendants and uncles. Not a lot of young people into riding nowadays.

I was also invisible to girls; as evidenced by the girl in the perodua who rear-ended me when I cut across her in slow moving traffic.
