Agree, kena racun Kawkaw. The sifus here Very persuasive and managed to Xcites my curiosity about bikes above 250 cc.

Let’s wait first until I’ve seen and feel feel those bikes then will make my decision.

Today managed to go to Welly Batu Caves and Big Wing Setapak and a few smaller shops nearby.

A lot of difference between the Versys 650 and the 500X. I like the 500X more as the seat height is lower and I can balance pretty well, the design is more appealing to me. I felt more comfortable when I sat on the seat and can push the bike behind with both legs. Even tiptoeing 😱😱😱 I can’t balance the 650 properly unless one legged flat footed. 😅

Couldn’t find the other suggested 250 and 400 anywhere around there.

The salesmen from both shops are very friendly and explained the pros and cons etc. And both also tried to persuade me to get bigger cc between 400 - 650 and don’t waste time on 250 as the thrills and excitements will wane in a few months and raring to go even bigger. They said most experienced bikers slowly upgrade to bigger and bigger cc after they mastered the bikes they rode for a few years. Yes?

But I believed some Jumped straight into the unknown 750 and above. No?

So, for now it’s Versys X250 with an inclination towards the CB500X and (Upgrade License). Still got time to hunt for the others... to feel feel and sit sit 🤣😂😂

Anymore informations I don’t know about the secrets of Biking BIG bikes?🤔

Anymore inputs and reasons to sway my decision to go B full? What am I talking about? 🤣🤣🤣

This place is very very dangerous and venomous 🤗🤗🤗

I recently bought a Versys 650, cannot both leg flatfoot, agree cannot easily move behind if like this, so i just pull backward before riding it or just avoid to reverse..haha
I like the bike compare with 500X, too bad no ABS

You bought new or used?
Not necessarily flat footed on both legs, at least can move behind while seated. It’s too high to mount and unmount the bike, for short people.

Sucks eh! No ABS yet even for new models.

I bought new. Choose Versys over 500X coz of the size also. I like bigger bike. Haha

Other country got versys with abs.. our country hurmmm

Yes yes very good. When I seen it and feel it, it’s felt good and I like the curvy design. It’s so much comfortable than the Versys 650 and 250 when I sat on it.

But still have to bring my missus to look and feel it and sit as pillion. If she’s comfortable and like it, then its more or less ahem...

I can wait another few months, until someone is selling their ABS machine or if there’s a second hand ABS unit in dealer’s shop.

I went to Honda Wings Setapak about 3 weeks ago, there was a used and very low mileage NC750X. You may want to have a look.

xmax 250, HUGE underseat storage. TWIN channel ABS + TC (traction control). no other bike 250cc & below in malaysia have TC so far, only XMAX250 has it.

if not mistaken susuki msia din officially bring in vstrom 250. if got is grey import..

Go for cb500x bro with safety feature abs some more

our country is always very slow in everything.

Ya, i was looking to buy Vulcan S but dealer ask me to wait for new facelift since they only have 2016 stock.
They promised me launching by Sep but now still no news. end up i missed the tax Holiday and paid SST for Vesys...sigh

if not mistaken susuki msia din officially bring in vstrom 250. if got is grey import..

Just curious:
Any VStrom 650 second hand unit to view in any dealer shop? And second hand unit how much?
I read UK Mat Saleh’s review that for long distance, it’s the most comfortable for pillion rider, compared to Versys 650.
