Oil service will be the biggest difference.

Tyres, chain and sprocket also makes a big difference.

600 CC sprocket / chain is like RM 500 ( depends on chain type )

Tyres is like RM 1000 for a set.

Wow... for Z900, I roughly get 220 km - 240 km for 13.5+- L

Btw, to TS, have you ever rode a sports bike before? 250cc vs 600cc is totally different in terms of handling and power delivery. 600cc if not handled properly, is a widow maker (actually, any bike pun) sweat.gif .

My advise....if you have concern about the cost of maintenance, that means you are not there yet to ride a big bike.  Don't let this drag you down in future.  Just stick to 250 the most. 

Your hard earned money can be spent else where more useful.

Yeah im just going to buy the CB 250r. Big bike isnt for me. Im small n lightweight. Most big bikes are too heavy and tall for me. So sad but its fate.
