should be collecting my bike this week, keep you guys posted, and i'm a newbie too, just got my full B not too long ago

i was thinking of Ninja 650 but seeing the difference of inline 2 (iirc) and inline 4, gosh the sound itself made me changed my mind immediately and i notice ninja 650 vibrates a lot even quite a new bike ...

i'm not really sure how to give a review but i try my best

height : 172cm
weight : 84kg
years of experience with a bike : 0

Appearance is based on personal view, for me i like it as it's modern and those LEDs are a point plus over others.

Handling - pretty good even for a newbie like me and if compared to er6n in JPJ school, the kawasaki felt heavier but of coz it's a learning school's bike so i'm not sure how does a new 1 feels.

Odometer - full digital display + gear indication (very important for beginner like me), time, trip A, tank capacity, RPM, speed, engine temp, etc etc

Suspension - comfy, expect to hop on some uneven roads but didn't feel a thing (i guess this bike is heavier and doesn't bump up much on uneven road)

Tires - no idea yet

Clutch & Shift - pretty alright if you understand how to drive a manual car but the engine speed is totally different, the RPM doesnt dip but revs higher after changing gear (feels like auto throttle once you upshift) , adjustment needed on the gear lever to suit 1's preferable angle (for me normal sneakers is ok but once with boot, difficult to up/down as the boots are thicker), releasing is almost 2/3 of the clutch then only it moves, can be changed but up to personal choice.

Engine - rev happy and torque is more than enough (imo), i pretty like it as whenever you need to rev, don't really need to downshift to get the power ... traction control, abs as standard.

Brakes - sufficient although i haven't do any emergency with it yet, but so far so good.

Weighs around 204kg (iirc) and it's pretty bulky (although slimmer from the prev gen) and not easy if you decide to park in head 1st, regardless flat road or not, i always do reverse in as getting out is pretty easier than reversing/pushing the bike (my 1st mistake i went head in and ended up pushing the bike out).

One small little compartment, well actually u cant fit anything but a 250ml bottle confirm can.

That's all i guess, if any1 got question just post and i will reply,

P/s : wherever i go with the bike i'm always on full gear, Mesh Jacket with back pad, chest pad, elbow pad integrated, gloves with sliders, boots, knee and side shin pad, thigh protector and lower back protector, it's quite troublesome and bulky but i guess if you are a beginner better be safe than sorry.

with sneakers 85% can, with boots 100% can ... either way flatfoot both feet not a good option as our roads are not that flat afterall, mostly i keep my right leg on the back brakes and left foot on the road while holding the clutch during traffic stops ... that's my way thou, some prefer front brakes and right leg on the road, but now i'm practicing to be at N and be quicker to start after the lights turn green.

pants with integrated pads i did take a look, unfortunately size matters for the waistline and the length of the pants with big waistline, i'm not sure if can ask aunty tailor to alter it later as the material is kinda stretchable.

yes sir, unless if i go tapau food outside my house then maybe jacket only and sneakers. 2 mins ride only lolz, but if i go back to my workplace although 10mins away, i still wear full/half full

sweating part is painful, luckily i bought a modular helmet, sometimes open up to wipe off the sweat on the face that tickles, lolz

if no experience and wanna get the 650, just do it, i did the same thing, 1st few weeks not so steady, after that sometimes on highway 160km/h and didnt realised, but nowadays i go a bit slow since some drivers are crazyyyyyyyyy

yeah been good few months, so far so good, quite easy for beginner like me

nopes, once or twice a week, normally more but due to circumstances like haze, monsoon rain and all, so ride less

i nvr ride b4, totally 0, the heat is bearable, only the rain i suffer, i'm using mesh jacket + padding but no rain coat, so i avoid at all cost, furthermore rain in KL is crazy at times.

some poison for you guys.

plenty of stock available, which BW u went ?

go do the booking, some booking might not make it then you will be next.

then wait, maybe got chance when some earlier booking slipped up
