slowly you will feel nothing. i using Versys for Puchong, Subang and Cheras area. After 6 months of routine, now can confident riding through traffic jam.

I am with my z650 and top boxes and side boxes 98% of the time on the road since they are helpful at times you don't expect.

So far not much of a problem unless i need a bigger space (along kapchai) for parking.

Scratched an old volvo once since he ignored me and close my 'way'. Feel bad about it but you deserve it since there is a lot more space on the other side of the road.

Ignorance is a bliss, but not for that volvo driver. Sorry bro!

using my 2016 mt-09 with top box exclusively as daily ride and long disntance travel. just passed 80k km mileage now.

it feels like riding a kapchai though.

no matter how big your ride as long you can handle it wisely and be tolerate to others. The question is why touring bike always bring their big boxes even just ride to work..if for long distance i.e KL to Alor Star that make sense

Put laptop, riding protection gears, locks, rain suit, some times do light grocery shopping my way home. Very convenient.

What's the average fuel consumption for mixed traffic use like that?

Same reason as me. A place to keep the gears instead of carrying it up to office in the crowded lift.

One time I was late, so i park my bike and just went into the office with all the gears on including knee shin guard.

Some teased me ....wah. racing ah?

yes..i understand but did we need two bigger box side by side. i think one box should be enough. how to cilok better drive car je haha

if you ride like a civilised person who dont split lanes then ok.

I'm using side box and still can cilok most of the time.

But i cos I'm not using the biggest side box
Just a shad sh23. Still ok.

Lol. Last time when I took the other bike to work w/o any side cases and I had to bring my gears to office. All of them gave me the same comment you received. Told them some people like to exercise before coming to work, I like to do some racing before coming to work.

I need 2 side cases. One for my jacket and the other for my gloves. I prefer to separate them out so they can "air" out in the cases with packet dehumidifier in each cases. The top box is for hte helmet, head scarf and ear plugs

Can still cilok as long as u are used to the width of the bike. Takes time to get use to it but totally worth it

Not practical. Make sure water cooled model, else bloody hot.

Mind to share what brand. Is it effective.

I am using the Tesco brand. I buy either the charcoal/jasmine(?) type which has fragrance. It does help with the dampness to a certain extend but the fragrance in the helmet is a nice addition than the damp sweat smell

about 6l/100km. but i mmg rempit. sometimes very much higher.
not rempit also around 200km for 12liters refuel.

I know right, those barbarians on bike from Asia, Europe always lane-splitting.
Only America can shine the light of civilisation.
Except for those uncouth Californians; lane splitting and building tech.

It's very simple. If you want to cilok pancung maximum, don't ask about anything bigger than a kapcai.

If you want to commute on a big bike, then ride it properly like a big bike.

You'll be fine riding even a Harley to work so long as you get your expectations straight... and u got the cash for the maintenance costs.

I fail to understand why some people bergolok bergadai hutang 6 tahun to buy a big bike which they then try to ride like a kapcai. Siap lompat divider, langgar lampu merah, lawan arus trafik... and when they get stuck due to their size, siap hon & maki hamun kereta.

80km daily on gsxr750 with backpack (laptop) and tailbag (rainsuit+shoes cover)
persiaran moktar dahari - nkve - federal hiway - pj
painful at first...back...arm..u name it....but with correct body positioning/posture and fitness, lama get used already.

Used to travel everyday with Yamaha R1 & Naza Blade 650R for few years, kinda get used to it

Now I am travelling with Modenas Elegan 250 and it feels really awkward..it is comfy as hell, but doesnt feel right for me..
