Hi guys, need help to decide which bike should i buy. Just got my bfull license,the bike is just for fun ride.

These 3 bikes are pretty much in a different segment, also quite a big gap in price point.

1. MT-25, fun torqish bike, reliable but not cheap.
2. Dominar 400, cheapest on the list, comes with all the modern blings, but slightly unrefined.
3. Duke 250.... id suggest just skip the 250 and go for 390. RC/Duke 390 runs same engine platform as D4(or more like D4 is based on 390), but with transmission ratio that focusses more on torque/early power deliveries.

first bike to ride on roads using sport bike not easy especially when reacting to emergency
better more upright better to react, even if bigger cc also is ok

riding posture sport bike already tekan the forearm

during emergency, imagine u brake, and clutch, and trying to steer
when engine die if hard brake during emergency without clutch, will ABS still work? I dunno honestly

imagine with sitting upright, and you can control the steering better without pressing the body on there

that's why daily bike with sport bike, can or not, the answer is can, but which one easy to deal with traffic and emergency, definitely sportbike not the easiest

unless you very very good with sport bike, core strength and back all very tahan, when u sit on sport bike eventhough bongkok, but the forearm never press weight on steering, then yes, maybe u can do much better

Hence its important to properly learn riding techniques, touring upright or crouching on sporty stance, if you are putting weight on your forearms, you're riding wrong. Whenever you emergency brake on any bikes, you must first remove any pressure on arms and keep yourself stable gripping your tank with your knees. Putting more pressure on your handle bar loads up your fork, and emergency braking is 70% about how much rebound and how much your shock can take before it bottoms out, and hence you dont want any weight if possible on the handlebars.

same here,never rode a bike before and just got my Bfull license. Contemplating getting a smaller CC bike as first bike.

How about CBR250RR?

Theres a weird thing goin on in malaysia riding culture, majority of the people are "lazy" to upgrade their license and stick with under 250cc, hence all the glorified 250cc. Expand your search abit further, you'd realise the pricing isnt that big a gap and you get better returns with 400/600+cc bikes. Personally id stay away from 250cc(practicality wise) if you already own a bfull to begin with.
