Last 2 weeks I go back to ask and see the new CBR250R.
CBR250R at least need 2~3 months waiting.

The sales ppl say for CB650R need to wait about a month after booking.
If dont want wait, got one Red display unit.

For new 2021 model, he said potential some price hike due to the upgraded equipment, will only know the price during March~April timeframe.

Oh, maybe he quote me for the new model.

just want to know
you pay for booking
wait 3 months then received the bike and start the installment

is it the timeline is?
*
Yup. That how it is and the one that i know of. .

As any hired purchase loan you only start paying after you sign the recieve item .

I see i see.

Been holding my first big bike purchase since last year.
Covid hit cancel all plan. Burned half of the money during that time.
Now start building up fund again.

Got my eye on z900. But with how kawa is now. The cb650 seem so tempting now.

Sabar sabarĀ  huhuhuhu
*
U got there bro. Sabar your dream will be there. I was in similar situation too. I though i can buy it when it was 1st hit the market around 2019 but well financial was kinda hard. .

But the wait make it sweater..


Btw what wrong with kawa atm?


Actually i been eyeing the new trident but after the test ride well i think i preferred 4inline...

can give your thought why prefer 4 inline instead of 3?
*
Ughh i can't give you an answer to that.. it just i dont like it. Dont get me wrong the bike was marvelous, really good easy to ride, usable tourqe wide range and my wife really like the design and finish..well mayb since i going to use this as my daily i preferred the trusted brand..but yeah cant give u a definite answer why i dont like it.. you need to try it ur self.


Would love to wait for new street triple but im sure it over way my budget..


QUOTE(logi89 @ Mar 16 2021, 11:49 AM)
for those riding CB650R, does it maneuver well during traffic jam..

i am considering this so that I can nimble around traffic easily once all MCO over.

Really need those experienced with this model to share the insights.
*
It quite easy and nimble to cilok but cant compare to kapcai la.. if heavy traffic especially small road where 2 lane became 3 lane sure stuck..

Wow nice.

One question tho why American say the honda bike are boring compare to other big four.

The complain are like "to refine " or "will not brake down "

I mean. Why?
*
Thanks..

For the question.. it is boring as per it does what it purposely do good.
And that its.. no other characters..

Example mt07 characteristics was "Fun" and mt09 was really a "monster" haiz hard to explained..its like its do everything good but ntg exceptional and then some FLAW are the characteristics.. ... Its all subjective actually..

Even bmws1000rr labelled as no character and boring...

Its all just how u feel

Before deciding on CB650R, I have test ridden MT09~ while it is a good bike, with torque all over the place even on the highest gear, I am still not motivated enough to proceed on buying it~ last 3 weeks I've test ridden my friend's CB650R, I instantly fallen in love to it~ enough to make me to call BW Setapak and place booking on the next day~ people may say that Yamaha MT has more character, which I don't deny it, but the more refreshed look and the sound of four-inline really get to my heart~ I consider myself as casual rider, so the good quality of Honda and 'tamer' ride is good enough for me~
*
Yeaah, review are just for guide.. go test ride the bike. Some ppl just preferred other thing more. I test Mt09, Mt07, Street triple, z900 and trident 660(test after i receive my cb)....

All of them have their own good/special just buy what you looking for.



QUOTE(afiqms @ May 2 2021, 07:51 AM)
Congratz on your new ride bro~ now waiting anxiously for my bike to be delivered~ huhuhu

Hahha i know that feeling.. i need to wait about almost 3 month till the bike arrived.

OMG gorgeous looking bike,

how the comfort level on this bike, any engine vibration discomfort ?
and can you tell me about the seat is it comfortable for a long ride?
*
Thanks.

That why i dint want to use the bar end mirror as to put it i need to remove the end bar weight that come from the factory, i tried it before and the vibrations was more noticeable not too much but i dont like it so i change back. Maybe can be dampern using soft grip type.

Cant say much bcoz longest ive riden was around 30min. Doesn't feel any discomfort in my arm, wrist or back yet . . So quite comfort i say.
