Not actually impulsive la.. I have actually decided to buy 2nd hand z1000sx in early 2020 before lockdown.. Luckily haven't bought yet then went into lockdown d and I'm severely affected.. But then last year got new part time job and then early this year full time salary restored to pre-covid time.. Furthermore the offer is too good now.. The price was 55k last time when I'm surveying price, but now only selling 41k..
Btw, still sticking to my previous budget which is around 40k+- so can't go for new litre bike.. There also got a z1000sx year '11, but no matter how durable a bike is, sure there will be wear and tear here and there already.. Don't want extra burden on maintenance, so end up choosing 750 new bike la.. Hopefully loan can approve la later, will submit it next week.. Just worry a little coz salary was halves last 2 years, so there are chance that it will be rejected..

Congrats, hope your dream achieved soon.

Hopefully, coz current bike already 14years since production.. Heavy hearted coz maintained it quite good, but really do think it's time to move on d.. See how la got luck o not.. If got good, if not also I'm okay with my current bike.. 

Any major problems encountered with your er6n since ownership?

My 90's 2 stroke have less problem though, but consumes oil and spews smoke. Haha.

I missed riding the 2 stroke bike. Oil change? once a year regardless. 2t? was like rm5 for the shell 2t that smell nice one. the engine jammed? let it cool for 5-10 minutes then u'll be off again. the only thing i hate about the 2 stroke are the carbon build ups. my standard exhaust was so clogged that i need a wire to poke in the exhaust. then my friend lent me his BM Power chamber which got me in trouble for a couple of times with the authority lol...

good times... good times..

nowadays no carbon buildup lo, but 2T more expensive dy
the other day did a top end service, everything clean except one of the reed petals broke off

Yeah the carbon build up was because of using the cheap 2t ones. I was in form 4-5 when i got myself a moped. That was my 1st owned bike and u know as a secondary school boy, money is on the tight side so usually if i cant afford the shell 2t wangi ones.. i’ll go for the cheapest ones. Then theres the old age bike too. So carbon/sludge build up is not too weird.

I missed riding mopeds lol. Sometimes the most simple ones is the most fun ones i say.

Now u sudah literbike, going back to moped, how ah?
no clutch, forward gear, air suspension...

Hi I like the looks on the MT Streetfighter helmets

Those motocross type

Are they any good?

Why not? Sometimes riding ex5 full throttle feels so much fun lol.

waht your preferred tyre for the gixxer? can suggest a few?

Is like your avatar

right now im using diablo rosso 3 so the tyre is decent enough. thou i feel its a little slippery when the roads are wet. I mean im not really particular about tyres but if u want my limited recommendations, i'd say the best tyre ive use is diablo supercorsa v2 (that thing grips on hot weather) but fade really fast.

Shinko was ok for thousand KM but started to feel slippery after that.

For budget tyres i really prefer conti sportattack. affordable and quite good in hot and wet.

Beside i only got my gixxer for like a year++ and nowdays (with rain and all) i kindda seldom use it. However... i ride to work today and as usual.... its raining cats and dogs here...

Wah kek

Any brands to recommend that have those motor cross look?

the feedback about Shinko is priceless, normally we get reviews on new tyres but not as they wear.
wanted to try Shinko but that is now not worth it
SCv2 of course la...
conti tyres a bit hard to find here, but i'll keep an eye

appreciate it very mush, heard S22 is the best

dont sleep on michelin pilot road 5 also.

also try looking at metzeler line (sportec m5 or m9 or interact model)
