hi all,

lately ever since MCO ended, seem like traffic jam got so much worse, so i'm planning to just get a motorbike for going to work.

i dun have anyone around me who knows about bike so cant bring no one to do bike shopping with me. I truly believe this is a good place to ask.

FYI my daily travel distance is about 60KM, mostly on highway
budget < 15k, understand that good performance bike price is high nowadays but if can recommend bike below 10k is better

Please suggest icon_question.gif

Model :
Price (OTR if possible) :

edited: kapchai,moped or scooter bike

Do you have a license yet?

Please elaborate if your 60km commute is highway or not or just limited to intercity roads.

If just for general commute on city roads, a smaller kapchai, Scooter up to 150cc or a bike like a used fz150i is the best. For the budget you can also get the Yamaha mt15 or a Suzuki GSX 150 new.

If you intend to take your B Full license you can look towards starting on an Fz150 and upgrade later. The only big bike in your budget is the Dominar 400.

Depends on how fast u wanna go also, any bike can go 60km daily, even walking also can, but how fast u wanna travel the 60km?

The price range is good for new 150cc kapchais and scooters which are not bad for city + highway travel, their top speed is around 120km/h to 150km/h

Used bike u can go big bike like a used Kawasaki ER6N or ER6F which are pretty reliable bikes.

Another troll. In every n00b thread you post the same shit asking people to look at the GS.

Go troll somewhere else.

with 15k budget , highway use.

1. modenas dominar 400. 373cc. price is around 14k OTR.
but problem with , you might dont hv B full license. so if you want to to update ur license, can buy this bike 1st, then upgrade ur license to B full L, then register for B full training to get ur complete B full license.

2. naked 150cc, mostly less than 15K. is like mt15, gsx-s150 naked suzuki,

3. 150cc sportbike like R15 v3, or up lil bit for R15M, but i think the price is bit pricier. also hitting 20k OTR, which might as well u take the modenas ninja/z250 that just launched.

4. pulsar 200, its good for daily, but because of the price just lil bit diff than dominar 400, better take that.

5. 15k 2nd hand bike got lots, so its depend on ur taste. just find what kind of type u like, like touring/sport/naked etc.

Not sure about nvx, but it seems like adv150 is more trendy these days.

Anyways if you're budget limited you can try those wmoto scooters, like rt3 or the es250i. Es250 have twin channel abs, with a price tag of around 13-14k otr. Both are 249cc btw. Join the fb group for details of their usage or if there's any issues whatsoever.

Looking forward for the extreme 250 for the slightly bigger adventure scooter from them.

Whatever it is, if buying a new bike, look for a bike with ABS.

There are a plethora of small kapchais and scooters in your price range. You have the NVX, Honda Adv150 (soon to be replaced with the ADV160), PCX 150/160 if you want to stick.to the established brands.

For kapchai, you have the new Y16 but go for the honda RSX as the honda now has ABS.

for 15k price and u said scooter

- yamaha nmax around 10-11K otr. i got 1 myself, good scooter around town. for highway, you might need high windshield for better wind protection on highway.
- yamaha nvx i think only suitable for city, for highway, the wind might get hard on ur. and because of the fuel tank also smaller, nmax is 7L, nvx is just 4L.
- Wmoto Rt3 , 250cc, 15k OTR can able to find depend on shop. other like ES250i from same brand. 2 of my friends using it. so far good. top speed around 160kmh.

- modenas elegan 250cc. good scooter , rebadge from kymco, but the problem is this standard top speed just 120kmh from 250cc, because of old engine design.

- 2nd hand xmax, but very2 hard to find that price bracket. LOL. the price always stay 20k and above even for old xmax.

sorry, missed out the hondas

- vario and Adv150. both using same engine... i think can get below 15K otr. but adv150 more high price due to design and technology. its good for people who want rilex ride as this scooter not so fast like nmax. vario just around 8K OTR, but its bad scooter for highway due to small bike and suitable only for town riding, but still can la if u want to do it. its just that its not design for highway cruising.
