Parking. I'm also considering MT-15, launching later in Nov. But I am also open to other 150cc naked/touring bike options. I will be new rider, so i need to factor my budget to buy other protective gears as well.

No bike, no gear, new rider. Now I'm contemplating between 2nd hand or new bike. 2nd hand if i jatuhbodo won't pain the heart too dearly, but it is depend on luck if i could get a well maintained one or a lemon. New bike don't need to worry about any history of abuse or accident.

If 2nd hand, either Z250SL, Z250 or FZ150i. New bike will be MT-15.

Hi guys, tumpang tanya here. I'm a kapchai rider for almost 10 years. Recently thinking about changing my bike and upgrading to go beyond kapchai level, so then I started researching online and ends up stumbled into here.
So I am completely noob at these higher level bike, and is like the OP, kinda eyeing a bit on the R15 based on my research (budget range, review, look and feel), then now I noticed you guys teased about the MT15 coming out soon, will that be a better choice compared to R15 if I am to use it to commute to work everyday (if no MCO la, now company let WFH)? My work place is about 16-17km away from my current home (both in Klang Valley), so daily 30+km ride la... I'm used to riding kapchai and saw some feedback that the R15 isn't the most comfortable for day to day city riding, so need some opinions... 

Also a few other questions:
1. Roughly how much cost increase to maintain a 150cc bike like R15 / MT15, compared to kapchai?
2. I usually only bring my kapchai to cheap Indian shop change black oil once about every 2 months and let them "service" (like take a look at it or put some oil at the chain without paying that kind), if I change to a better bike where should I bring my bike to "service"?
3. Any other tips / things good to know for a noob like me that want to transition into a higher level bike?

Terima kasih in advance first...
