both also ok.. penang is small...
i checked with taycon before, the price is on the high side, but service not so sure, never go there do anything yet.

Which Taycon? Different branch different pricing.

What tyre you mau?
You can also aim ShengFatt discount, usually post on FB.
Or, Planet Cycle Glugor.

Or, buy from shopee and get them fitted with balancing.

same company diff price 1 ah? i can go try again...
i try go ask the other 2 shop see..
thanks for the recommendation.

Taycon got few. Paya Terubong, Farlim got 2, Bayan Baru, Relau...
Racingmate also deals tyres.

thanks for the inputs.. i will go check them out.

which taycon is best ? i plan to get a bike from them soon.

What bike are you after? New or used?

I don't know all of them. I've been to Masjid Negeri, Bayan Baru, and Paya Terubong one. Not the Farlim or Relau one. Generally, to me and some of my friends, they are good. Test bikes and ECU check no problem. Some other frens do tell me they are occasionally cold, means don't layan or let you test ride. I think it depends on the timing and workload.

I'd say find the one closest to your home or office, get to know their foreman and the quality of their work.

Ok than I think bayan baru.
Looking for maxi scooter but no one have stock at this moment
But I might change my mind for another scooter (also no stock).

Bro u from penang riding a Z650?
I am from penang on kapcai thinking about CB500F, Z650 or a MT07 as my first bike. Really thinking about getting a used one if possible.
Can you comment on this Z650?

I chose Z650 mainly because of the seat height, so i can ride in city with better confidence, and it is my first bike too.
The height is more or less same like CB500F, but since both of them around the same price range, i took higher CC bike. The shop that i bought my bike, Z650 is cheaper than CB500F

Riding experience so far so good, been to a few longer trip, quite enjoyable. Riding in city also ok, smooth ride, but cant squeeze in between car like a kapcai anymore.
Not very torque-ky, so it is easy to handle. i think it is a good buy.

i would say all 3 bike in your list is all good first bike to start, if you have the budget and want nice exhaust sound can try consider CB650R, exhaust sound is a lot better cause of 4 cylinder, but price is a step up.

so in the end i go to el chong to change, bought michelin road5, rm550, cheapest i can find. but i also change other stuff la, so many there is some extra discount i think

160 size? Cheap eh... I'll keep in mind.

Thank you for your feedback. I am looking at Z650 specifically because of it low seat height. I am only 163 so low seat height is important to me

why scare of height ? u hardly need two leg stand la .... get familiar with bike than u no limit to bike choice.

There's nothing wrong with limiting bike choice to a certain height and playing it safe, IMO. Whatever makes the rider feel comfortable and confident so they can enjoy the activity.

Cz I don't have much experience with taller bike, even during B Full training I used Virago instead of ER6N.
Its is mostly mental I think, so definitely I need to overcome this. That's why I am looking for low seat height bike so I can get used to it~

Depending on what riding style you're looking for, among CB500F, Z650 and MT07, MT07 wins at speed, but comfort wise, I think Z650 wins. Which bike is your personal choice? Would it motivate you better to ride a bike that you like, vs the one you compromised for?

Riding school and JPJ exam requires us to stop with right foot on brake, and left foot down. Keep this in mind, so make sure you have no problem setting down your left foot. You can also consider some adjustments on a bike to make it lower.

no worry, u just need to get use to it than u will enjoy more, my friend is 150cm, she ride second gen gold wing with zero issue and love it.

Just bought my Z650 as my first bike. In case those with short height are wondering if the bike is good for short people. It is. My height only 153 cm but i can still tiptoe the bike with both of my leg. Usually i just use one leg la if i stop in traffic. The only con i had was when i tried to reverse the bike from the parking spot. Need to dismount first and pull the bike out. Other than that. Its quite an easy bike for short rider.
