Itchy to upgrade my current sportbike to the superbike 1000cc kawasaki H2. Was looking at yamaha R1 too, but prefer the kawasaki H2.

Should i upgrade? Now my 250 kick feeling less and less already, already got used to it. Hungry for more power.

Owners please give me a review of both Kawasaki H2 and Yamaha R1. Thanks!

go 500cc 1st. u go jump straight 1000cc is a recipe for disaster

Y would it be a disaster. I seen people who striaght bought a litre bike before. Just take it slow initially until i get used to it. I already rode a few bikes before, including 3 with clutch bikes.

Get more agile bike. H2 only good for drag race.1000 cc sportbike is dangerous if you have twichy hand. 600cc will be faster than most cars on the road anyways.
*
I think most 1000cc bikes are no longer in the agile category lol. To me my ninja with full fairing still feels agile. But some people are already complaining. Maybe they body balance is not as good as mine..

Go for R1. Lots of parts available so you'll have the option to cheap out on some accessories. Power wise, I think you should be able to handle it as long as you don't twist the throttle like an idiot. H2 I never ride but from the videos I watched (650ib) the power difference on acceleration is about the same as other litrebikes
*
U have rode before an R1? Yeah i know accessories are cheaper, but i tend to keep my bike mostly stock. Engine my current bike, just change the tail light, a red strip on my rims since my bike is red and led headlamps. Thats it. Prefer it to be clean.

Just rode around taman to test before. Penang 2nd bridge is a bliss though. Try to get 299kmh later brows.gif

For accessories, plenty of light tech or r&g protection guards is there for minimalist accessories wink.gif
*
Mostly will use this bike occasionally when going to work and when riding back my hometown. But I'm worried during morning rush hour and when coming back from work i will be stuck among the cars..

Why cant i handle it? Many people are riding it just fine. The H2 will be used on the highway twice a week at the least. I also have a car for practicality.

is it worth it to spend so much on a toy that you ride once or twice per week? why not just try to buy a second hand r1? 50k in mudah.my
*
50k is 5 years old bike. Then again I can save 50k if buy used. hmm... too bad the H2 very less secondhand ones..

why must die die h2? this is not US or australia, our road is small, I think zx10r is more than enough here
*
Not die die must want la. Just that i am attracted to the h2, and since i can afford it, hence i am considering it.

Our road even my current ninja 250 enough la if want to say about the road condition here

Depends on what you are going to do with the bike, is it an everyday bike or just a weekend bike?
Do you ride highway a lot?
If no, maybe 650cc would be more versatile.
*
Not riding a lot. Probably 2 times on highway during weekend and one or two times on weekday. So its a weekend bike i guess. Even my current bike is a weekend bike

Thats a very bad thinking. Why not just take the bus then? Bus much less got into and accident if compared to a car.

Maintainance can kill you. Easy each time service above 1.5k
*
What does the 1.5k includes? I assumed most of the time just engine oil, filter and greasing the chains right?

You need to services alot of things. You ingat maintainance like your 250 ar? It's like a high pressured car engine  example, air filter easy above 500. Breakpad alot is ard RM300.

Suggest you go checkout the prices of parts before you buy. Car is a better option. Buy a fast car and not a fast bike.
*
My car already at 207hp, not too bad already i reckon.
Air filter and brakepad not going to change monthly. Most also yearly for air filter

Maintenance for every 5000km around rm500-800 is no problem for me.

Hmm... no love for 850 triple C bikes like MT-09 or Tracer ?

I have been pondering the idea of getting bike for work but the way people drive here just scares me. Bikers needs to be alert 2 to 3 times more than a car driver. Just to anticipate stunt drivers around them.
*
Haha not yet decided which one. U can always give your review on the mt09 or the tracer if u have one.
