at least 4 used cb250r for sale in mudah...

this owner no choice lower to 16k, just 2xxx km only..

and now oni i noe it doesnt have gear indicator...

You can try look at CB250R group in FB, i saw few selling there too.

what your current bike now?

Mine is 110cc kapcai bike.
After all research i found, CB650R is amateur friendly bike
You can straight start to this bike
If go to CB250R after few weeks you might feel bored
*if financial is not your problem

What actually set you back to straight pick up cb650r?

I think get bored mainly because of the power output and handling especially if you like to go fast and cornering. (I also bored with mine after 1 year....haha)
You wont get struggle going up Genting with 250r, I saw ppl riding this to Cameron and Genting without issue. Also viewed some review mentioned 250r is handling very well when come to hill route compare to bigger and heavier bike.
If you are really new to bike, might also need to consider things like 1 vs 4 cylinder, cost of maintain in long term, handling and size of both (riding kapzai and sport naked bike in 120km/h is totally different feel.)
At the end, still if you can afford cost of ownership of 650, just go for it. Dangerous or not its depends on your right hand and mindset.

I think it's on a YouTube video on yamie noob channel
Mostly saying that Honda bike do not have a character unlike other bike manufacturers.

Not that its a bad bike no. It's just a characterless bike.

Not that I know. Since the first big bike I ride is er6 and mt07
And no clue on Honda bike yet

cancelled my trident booking too, loan already approved

i dint cancel it yet
but put it on hold, let see until end of this year
My loan approved too,

if i dint get new bike before end of this year
i will burn
1) my booking RM500
2) My plate number (bought at jpjebid), only valid until dec 2021

Seems like i dont get Mezeller roadtec 01

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?

I went cross state from Terengganu to Pahang to renew my roadtax yesterday~ currently I have ridden my CB650R for 14,500 km and still enjoying this bike~ no regrets to take this as my first big bike, upgrading from kapchai~

Yeah I upgraded my license.

I use mt-07 during license practiceand exam. So my expectation with the CB650 was ..."ok probably similar"... turns out... it's not similar at all. This bike top end is no joke. And I was not prepared.

But the down low are tame and friendly unlike the MT. That's my savings grace.

Right there I thought "yeah I'm like an old man and this is for me"

Thank God I took the bike for testing. If not I already book for the mt-09 v3

BW PJ informed that there was no import of stock since end of last year until april. so now they resume already. that's what i've been told. but cant verify though. But i'm not rushing to get it la, next year also no problem.

Meanwhile, can we kaypoh a bit on what's your number plate? hehe

Yes, the bike is there about 1 hour i put down my name during my first visit, few days later after that, been informed that the guy got his loan rejected, then it went on to the next person and that's me.

I placed booking with the PJ outlet about 2 months ago, but until today, there's no news, no details, no update, no nothing, fed up. Then went to this Damansara outlet, got allocated with a bike in 1 weeks' time. Maybe i'm just lucky.

It is a blue matt coloured one by the way, many wanted the red or black. I think i would be keeping the bike for a long time la, most probably won't sell the bike.

By the way, is the size really small? cos i'm going from a small bike to this CB650R, dun think it is that small though.

it's a (relatively) small cc 4 cylinder bike, the torque is not there
if you like the bike for what it is, then keep it that way


from my experience, most people will learn, sooner or later, that bigger cc with low cylinder count (2 or 3) makes better bikes

That's a good thing to hear that the handlebar is somewhat shorter compared to its peers, i am quite confident to cilok in my current bike in a heavy traffic due to the light weight and size of my bike, but just unsure if i can handle a bike that's almost twice the weight of my current bike, in any case if i dont think i can cilok, i will just follow behind a car until it is clear for me to move ahead. I think I will do filtering rather than lane splitting nowadays. cannot afford to hit a car and drop my new bike and injure myself in the process.
yeah, i think being conservative is good. but need to study a bit more about your statement on "a small CC 4cyl is safer than a 2 cyl of equivalent cc".
you always poison me to get the z900 instead.... i know that it is a very value buy given the price vs the specs and performance in it.
but i have also explained before, since i have had a kawa already, so i wanna try honda, ppl have been saying you won't go wrong with this cb650r, given its reputation of being reliable, just good enough spec and you have more than enough of sheer power delivery to the bike. plus, that this bike has always been in stock starvation for the longgest time, ppl couldn't get their bike even in 12 months, but right now, i have one already waiting for me to register it to be on the road, that's why i am more incline with this cb650r instead of a z900.

also, i'm not looking for speed on a bike, it is more of a total package that I could get on it.

But the only bad thing is, i haven't test rode a cb650r or equivalent before, (in size, power, etc). Any comment on this?

ahhhh, so many thanks for your explanation, it makes a lot of sense to me.

and provided me a lot of comfort as well!

Which colour are you getting? for your new CB650R. Which branch did you order from? I suggest you may try the new Damansara outlet too.

see this reply from ExCrIpT
A Harley friend test rode ZX10R in carpark lot, and he exclaimed, "why no power one?"

you can get the CB first, it holds value better than a Kawa, just not sure if it will become the next XJ6, the older CBR650F is slowly becoming like that

I love the SE spec, worth every penny

Ohlins? OMG... this is another can of golden worms that will bleed your wallet dry, and keep leaching

aftermarket suspension kits can transform a bike:
you can corner like on rails, it does what you want it to do
you can go faster and yet feels you're going slower than before
it can make the bike grip better during emergencies
it makes the tyres wear out slower
yeah mang, so worth it
aftermarket upgrade is 6k+ each for those things

Meanwhile, for the older version, when did Malaysia launch the CB650R after the global launch? could this be the benchmark or a guidance?
But it doesn't come with the blue colour i wanted, but i guess i could opt for the grey instead.

Yeah definitely predict some slight price increase.

Just don't wanna regret what if the bike comes in like after few months or within a year or so.

Likely possible scenario?

What would you do if you were in my shoe?

Hey owners,

I'm currently in the market for my first bike, primarily for weekend rides. Since I’ve never ridden a bike before, I’m getting mixed opinions about whether I should go for a lower-cc bike instead of a 650cc. I'm particularly interested in the CB650R with the e-clutch and would love to hear some feedback from current owners. Is it a wise choice?
