New model have chassis, forks, brakes all upgraded, and traction control.
The old platform would be very much a compromise by today's standard, a bit like Z800 ABS tbh.

If you like it, there's nothing wrong with it being a simpler and less modern bike.

Its more of a pricing perspective, honestly. Really tempted by the second hand market for the cbr650s.

Nah i already wait 2 years. I can wait a bit more.
Beside i already financially strained before. And I gave up half of my bike saving to survive. This time I'll take it easy and no rush.
I will buy it when I'm ready.

I was in your same shoes. Engine and gearing wise, the old model is more practical. Pre-COVID can get 27k.

Luckily tak kena strain after you bought any bike. But I can spoil it for you, after you save for so long and the moment after you got the bike, you will feel lost for a while. becoz the goal is achieved you feel like 'now what?'.

Thanks for sharing. Is the bike able to start? Some bikes won't start without dash/meter connected.

basically, the way i see it, so long bike brands still operate like kapchai bike shop, there is no hope on the big bike after sales maintenance and warranties.

But the guys handling Suzuki now (formerly Kawa) should be quite ok right? Were there any issues with Kawa parts before this? (Ya, I know this is slightly off topic biggrin.gif )

bike still function ok

honestly despite power
cbr150 is really a good bike , santai

but the craftmanship,
is like craftmanshit

i suspect something not fix properly so the meter water damage during rain

when i buy this bike
(coz low stock)

was warn by almost all dealer
DONT GO HONDA

SPARE PART , even during normal maintainance (wear and tear)
can queue for 2 months.....

Some experience dealer will call owner earlier like 2 months b4 maintainance schedule to book parts 1st

..... haiz

i still go honda ( as i am driving car mostly)
because cbr150 red really looked like panigale v4

that look is really worth the price and trouble

I think ok, Kawasaki monopolized the big bikes back then, so quite confident they can repeat the same with now Suzuki

Haha yeah thinking if I should get it in cash. But at the same time I wanna save more for renovation too.. sigh decisions.

And also I was bit afraid that I'm too short for bigger bikes.

Like this, still ok right? laugh.gif
