Wonder if anyone saw or ridden Gixxer 250 Naked Bike?

I really keen in it vs Dominar 400 since it is light bike for fun ride.

Rarely seen on on the road except GSX 150 once.

And checked before no discount for Gixxer 250 too, not sure if still the same or not?

Just wonder why not? I really like the bike for what it is being as basic B full bike blush.gif

for the same price, almost u get alot more in gsx8s...  jz hv to imagine it looks like sv..

yes surely it is better spec but somewhat I am attracted the SV650 being very kosong with only bare essential (ABS/low rpm assists) without any fancy electronics.

For some reason sat ontop on gsx8s and my feet cant really touch the shifter lever due to my feet being out-toeing.

Also the bike was wider too due to twin parallel design

good for them, imo the sv650 look is timeless

Yes, looked old skool for sure which make me like it.
Again usually what its hot and desirable for the rest of the world its not applicable here in malaysia doh.gif

In my manual there's another section that gives the service interval for European climate and it lists the service interval at 10k km or 1 year. I think most people would be hitting the 1 year limit before 10k km anyway.
Faster buy the sv650 then. I still see some places listing it. But the gsx-8s at 40k is a serious steal of a bike considering everything you're getting. The sv650 is probably gonna outlive the 8s in the really really long run though laugh.gif

Biggest fears with these new bikes nowadays is how long can that TFT meter last in our climate especially. Changing that out is gonna be a super expensive affair.

Yes the price is defo tempting, the shop i went to just totally bypass sv650 and ask me to look at this instead (at the time no discount/rebate yet so I suspect he want higher commision lol)

I think the same applies to car that are packed with electronic gizmos too that would start to go down and would be damn expesnive to replace, not to mention is new product so long term durability is still unknown yet.

Had some older car which is now worthless to sell off but still able to go about anywhere.

That why my current car also quite kosong in tech but came with unkillable ESC (unless plug out the fuse manually) which make life sucks on track day cry.gif
