partly I would say some couldn't afford higher cc's. Can't afford to maintain, hence the sambung bayar culture also. Can pay the downpayment for a B-full bike, but then couldn't afford to pay the instalment afterwards.
or couldn't afford the maintenance.
Also because of the power of the 'L' license in malaysia. Go get an 'L', stick it to your bike and you're good to go. I've seen a guy on a z800, with L sticker, just zig zagging around on the Federal Highway, rev-bombing people for not giving way to him then points a middle finger.

So some people see there's no point in getting a B Full when a L can just get them the same thing..

How much of a difference in cost of maintenance between a 600cc and a 250cc though?

I only know tyres probably are the biggest difference due to jump in size.

I feel attacked but thankfully it's Federal Highway(I'm milessss away) so not me phewwww. I don't do the finger tho sweat.gif

Anyway ts, I came from 125cc clutch bike. Got myself a used z8(non-abs) early this year. My first ever big cc bike. Just for fun. Not for daily, work stuff. But I rode it almost daily anyway laugh.gif
3 months of usage, almost 8k km covered. EO change roughly Rm200 for oil filter and 4 bottles of EO. Done it twice already. First was Castrol Ultimate and last one was Caltex Havoline. A pair of Metzeler roadtec 01 cost me rm900.
Of course these depends on cheap vs expensive stuff.

haha didn't mean to offend or attack anybody. Just saying that's how flawed our system is.. L sticker allows you to ride any bike without cc limit.
3 months of usage and you clocked 8k km but changed EO twice? ohmy.gif
4k km per change?

damn.. I thought standard for all bikes are like 10k km per change isn't it?
forgive me as im a noob, just starting to learn and know more about bikes.
I myself am interested in z800 as well. Mean looking machine. otherwise z900 but way out of budget.  cry.gif

5k km for fully, 3k km for semi to be safe.
Previous owner did oil change before left it inside the house for 6 months. Didn't even start.
When I got there, literally had to push start it. Battery KO-ed laugh.gif
Hence why I did the first oil change after clocking 2-3k km(Castrol Ultimate black bottle). Didn't want to take risk(z8 infamous valve issue) with 6 month old EO. 2nd oil change(Caltex Havoline fully) after clocking another 5k km.

Of course mine here are cheap fully. If those Ester/PAO whatnot fully, at least rm50 or more per 1L of bottle. So far I'm using Vesrah oil filter(OF). Cost the same as original. About rm40-50 for a piece. Scared of getting fake Kawasaki OF hence why Vesrah.
I did the change myself.

Yep. 4 pot sounds drool.gif
L twin also sound nice. Blade 650(poor man Ducati) if we want to experiment things brows.gif
Z900 comes with modern features, tech stuff. Might upgrade to one. Will see. Another naked or maybe a sport after this laugh.gif

Forgot about one. Underrated Suzuki. S750 or r750.
For new naked as of today, s750 bang for buck I would say. Some might look at mt09. Personally still prefer 4 pot sounds drool.gif
