Hello all!

Kawasaki er6f future owner here

I did ask some shop about this model (that time I was shopping for 650cc bikes). Some of them say it's okay, just that when you need to repair the parts will be late, as most workshops don't keep parts for Blades. So if you have the patience (and another form of transport to cover the wait days), then go ahead. Pretty darn good value imho.

In the end though, I settled for ER6F because I like the looks, and it would be my main form of transport, so I need to get something quite easily repaired and reliable

In my opinion, how you look on the bike wont matter much. Coz what matters is that you like the bike and it doesnt make you feel weird (like hand too long until you have to bend it a lot while riding, legs too long until it feels like you have to bend it all the time when you put your legs down etc.).

Better if you go to the showrooms and sit on the bike and see if it feels right. If you're concerned how it'll look like, then ask someone to take a pic of you in it

Since youre a pretty big sized guy, try looking at CBR250? I don't know if you'd like kawa bikes, but since you mentioned cbr earlier, i thought you might like honda more

I'm using ER6F myself (also known as Ninja 650R). I'm rather average, 173cm, but I can put my feet flat on the ground with it. I look rather small for the bike haha.

I went to a showroom and completely fell in love with this bike, so that's why I get it. If you don't wanna get a big engine bike, kawi 250R ninja can be a good one, though it doesn't make sound as nice as CBR

Woot! What color you're getting?

Chear motor in puchong (around Teso area) have quite a number of kawasaki bikes in their showroom (you wont miss their shop as it is a corner lot and its painted in kawasaki green). I went and checked out a bunch of kawasaki's there before I confirmed that I really like what I have now

Id go for blade 650 ;p cost similar to ninja 250r ckd. Hehe

The only thing about blade is the parts are not available everywhere in case of any repairs needed. Otherwise i might have gotten that instead

Depends on the center. I heard it can be as cheap as RM350 if you already have some other license, and can range up to RM800.

Ah if you already have B2, you can go to JPJ and renew your L first (this one will cost about RM40 or so). Then the amount you have to pay for class depends on the driving school. Smaller ones usually cheaper (below Rm400). The bigger companies like Metro and Perfect have more nonesense charges. Just go to the nearest one in your area, should be ok

Yep can.

Most probably youll have to sit for the 6 hours course 'bengkel motor' since the syllabus is different. But im not too sure

I think hes referring to kawasaki ninja 250r. It makes 48ponies if im not mistaken

Yep. It cost quite a bit even for a ckd bike. Like 22k otr. Have you taken look at naza blade 650?

What I did was I go to JPJ myself and renew the L for B-full (cost me RM 45)

Then just find a driving school and tell them you wanna do the b full class (that 8-hours class) and the test.
Depending on the place, it usually cost between RM300-RM500 for the rest (including the test)

I know metro driving school uses ER6N for their learning and test. But they're a bit expensive

Which driving school is that?

Is this the one in Ayer Keroh? the one next to the JPJ office?

Yep it covers 250cc and below. Most 250cc bikes out there are either 248cc or 249cc anyways
