Any sifu here can give advice regarding this bike ?



Is it better to get a brand new 2018 duke 200 or a second-hand ninja 250 / r25 / cbr250r?

Also, how's the service and quality control for ktm ? I got deterred from ktm since I've read multiple bad experiences here in the forum .

In bold.

Thought so haha. Ktm is that bad huh?

still got alot ktm 200 on the road today.. depen whether u wana 'try' it or not..

even if KTM is good enough.....why bother with 200 when the 250cc is available here

Lool. I heard those bikes are "hot" and gets stolen quite frequently

Price bro. My parents are sponsoring haha. I was initially considering a second-hand ninja 250 , but then the new 2018 model caught my eyes haha.

yes ktm is hot target, cos those fler no $$ to buy parts, chances of rosak is high, so hv to steal...

buy z250 for peace of mind

I've got 2 colleagues who are using KTM and they said although the bike is nice to ride around, they dislike the after sales support and the very poor resale value.

Resale value is something every 250cc biker is concerned about because for sure after riding the 250cc, you will want to upgrade to something bigger.
So if you are still paying your current bike loan while having poor resale value, then susah la.
To settle loan need to top up then to pay downpayment for new bike also need to top up.

+1. This! ^^^

oh is FAMAship... so no nid worry la... jz buy la... lol...

Can't la bro. Setting aside a budget plus working part-time to get gears.

I'll keep that in mind. Quite a pity , ktm has really nice designs haha.

Nice design but then later you sakit hati and sakit poket how?

Maybe get a NS200/RS200

for money
KTM laa

for performance and goo handling
Yamaha and Honda
Kawasaki also good

also brake caliper got stolen lorr..

BYBRE maa..not NISHIN hehehe...

anyway how good they are can hack lock system and steal it?

anyone know and want to share?

ya fork issue

KTM invent on inverted fork which means oil on top and give more performance..
but they do not consider the Malaysia market which got wet and dry area..

meanwhile Kawasaki invent focus on Malaysia market concern issue..
and prevent more wear issue like fork leaking..

Thanks sifu for the input. I think I'll just head for a used 250 ninja or r25

good choice

Thank you sir.

did you get the duke 200 in the end? How is it?

Nope. Went for a brand new R25 instead. Didn't want to take the risk haha.
