should i get cb650r or vulcan s?

cb650r have all the goodies but 40k+
vulcan s at almost half the price 27k+

both also looks so good
*
New Vulcan should be at 36k before OTR. Spec wise Honda win all. But riding position totally different. Both not really comparable.

New Vulcan s got abs ?

I sold my Vulcan s after riding for 2 years because no abs.
Else I will continue riding this bike.

morning guys, sorry to interrupt the topic here. I am newbie too and looking for my 1st ever big bike and struggling between CBR650R and CBR500R. Although i know CBR500R is more suit for newbie like me, but i dont want to regret later and change the higher cc bike unless i am rich (but i am not, hahaha). Need sifu's opinion here.
*
Go for 650R if you can afford on financial and physical. Higher CC is not a problem, just put more time to get comfortable with it. DONT SPEED before you know what you doing.
My 1st biker also 650cc, no riding experience before that as well. So far no major issue except tired after riding. haha

i sked purchase second hand bilke cuz i dont have the experience to see whether the moto is in good condition or not.

Im new rider since last year, previously just ride bicycle. Currently still haven't get my BFull but I'm using Versys650 for daily commute now.
With the feature come with Cb650r, don't think you should worry much. Just make sure u can handle the weight and maintenance

yeah i saw too but as mentioned by the post above, it all depends on the honesty of the seller so.....am abit sked la cuz im told by a friend if the bike has an accident before, the alignment of the front wheel is very hard to adjust to become straight and it will be a problem. Since i have no experience i am quite sked lo. 0 experience in bike
I dont have bike, am getting B full License at the moment, bored of driving car d

am looking at CB250R cuz all reviews mentioned its a beginner friendly bike where as CB650R didnt state that so........

why do you feel that i might feel bored with cb250r? cuz of low max speed?
according to states cb250r 0-100 takes around 8 secs?
and cb650r around 4 secs?

gila fast liao haha
*
What actually set you back to straight pick up cb650r?

-i am really want to go for mid range bike(naked) for daily commute (Seremban - Damansara - seremban) around 140km++
-before this i am looking at these bikes
    a) MT07 - Good looking but it 2 cylinder want to buy this until CB coming out
    b) Street Triple - Expensive, good looking, but europe bike so maintaining a bit expensive than jap bike
    c) Ducati monster- Expensive, good looking, but europe bike so maintaining a bit expensive than jap bike
    d) Suzuki SV - 1 cylinder, quite seldom heard people use this bike, a bit ugly on my POV
    e) Kawa Z650 - abit ugly on my POV
    f) Kawa z800/900 -  ugly, heavy,

and then Prefer CB650f - seems ok, but headlamp ugly

Wait until CB650R come out
now still waiting Benelli 752S - this one stand out among all.. but let see realiability, + not coming to malaysia yet

Since you already research enough, should be no problem on maintain the bike in terms of financial.
Have your check with Honda where can let you have a try before making decision?
BTW, if i will you, i might looking for touring bike for more comfort riding. Your daily routine is not a short distance.

1) in my POV, touring bike higher seat high(i am only 170cm)  e.g. Versys higher 5-7cm compare to CB650R
and bulkier/wider than any bike i mention (cb650r,mt,etc)
2) cant vroom, vroom let off some steam
*
im using Versys650, just few cm taller than you. cannot flat foot but is maintainable. If you already used to strong wing on high speed and sitting position of naked bike, CB650R wont be wrong decision. I actually like it as well, but only can own one bike at same time......

I'm a newbie so i dont know much about bikes.
I saw the cb250r and i like the design, salesperson and some ppl mentioned that I will get bored of the bike cuz of low cc (which i really dont know what it means by being bored)
the only main difference is the power and the weight of the bike right?
am planning to use the bike long term(leisure)  and wont be switching bikes. looking for one to start learning how to ride a bike properly but also scared higher cc bike is too much for me to handle.

cb250r will it struggle to go up genting? hehe
*
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.

how big is the difference in terms of maintenance for 1 v 4 cylinder bikes?
*
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4737640
You may read from here, normal service oil change should be not much difference, just depends on how many engine oil a 4 cylinder need.
But do check out cost for major service, sprocket , chain those. and tyre...
You also need to consider safety gear, some tools and paddock stand for regular DIY maintenance just in case you feel wanna do it.

Forgot to add in, road tax and insurance yo

to be honest touring bike look great, less maintenance but daily ride in KL not that suitable

What bike are you using?
*
Versys650, I mainly travel around Puchong, Bandar Sunway, Shah Alam, Cheras and Klang. So far still fine. Just heavy when go slow.
I don't speed when traffic jam, so always like blocking whole bunch of kapcai behind me..... Until I got space to let them pass.
