R15 has been here forever. It's a Yamaha so reputation is up there and spare parts are everywhere. Safest option to buy. But the cons are it's the priciest among the three and it's a bit uncomfortable to ride. Besides I prefer naked over full fairing.

NS200 has been in Malaysia for a few years. The price is affordable for its class. Equipped with ABS. Has numerous active communities online. I think Modenas is also quite responsive towards these communities. But I still have doubts. And a dealer told me this bike has quite a lot of issues and spare parts are expensive.

Benelli 150S is very new in Malaysia. I don't have much info about this bike. Initially the price tag makes me tempted to buy. But I don't dare to buy since it's quite new. Perhaps you guys have more info about this bike?

For me personally I want to buy NS200. It has the best value for money. But everyone around me told me not to buy this bike and to buy R15 instead, mostly due to R15's reputation. What do you guys think?

I have rfs150i at the moment (Same engine with 150s).
In my opinion, better grab ns200. less issue.

R15? good. But:

i) Too pricey for the price
ii) Magnet thief
iii) The seating is too aggressive.

Yes that’s what i thought too. But everyone around me keep pushing me to buy r15. In the end I’m the one who needs to pay for the bike la so i dont care what ppl think. I’m just worried about the maintenance cost that’s all

it really depends on what you want to do with the bike. if you want something for city commute then the R15 is indeed too compromised. not that it can't be done and we all seen delivery boys using it too, but its not the most comfortable. but if you want something that is fun to use, particularly on a small track, the R15 comes up very strong.

I don't have much experience with the NS200 and have not spoken to any owners so will not comment on that.

as for the Benelli 150s it is okay for the price la, its looks decent with nice spec for its price as you would expect of a chinese bike. Mforce has been pretty hard at work building its reputation so are quite responsive. my friend's one has some minor issues which the dealer sorted out quickly. so far he has no complains, but his bike is so low mileage that the longer term reliability is still up in the air. so i am not endorsing it in anyway, but merely pointing out that the dealer has been pretty responsible.

so what kind of riding are you doing? do you use it for commuting or just for fun?

I will be using it mainly for commuting in the city. Mainly for going to work, my office is just 10km away from my house
