sorry please correct me if im wrong

is it maintaining a scooter is more hard/expensive compare to moped/kapchai bike?
*
i got nmax for 5years, now odo for 50k km. use daily for work.
- engine oil every 3k km, around rm50, no oil filter needed. if follow manual, can go up to 4k km.
- spark plug, every 10k km, less than rm20, but i not sure labour cost. because normally i just service myself
- CVT service, around rm30-50 depending on shop u went. but please go to scooter specialist workshop. every 10k km or less.
- V belt- change every 20k , around rm150 or less include service and installation.
- gear oil, around rm15 for every 10k km.

with no fuel filter, no need chain cleaner etc, no need change chain, sproket etc. i would say the maintenance almost same as kapchai.

can't deposit with RM15k ? What troll or you just too poor and can't even have imagination ?

TS clearly said budget is below RM15k though and if RM10k is better. So your suggestion is already out of his preferences.

If not trolling then you actually have reading comprehension problems.

OP got plenty of options at 10k honestly, skip the 15k budget, stick to 10k.



With that budget you get to choose between Honda RSX or SYM VF3I. Skip the overhyped Y15 since that doesn't have ABS.

Also no NS/RS since OP mentioned he wants cub or scooter only

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

Price (OTR if possible) :

60km aren't that far. Dominar 400 or NS200 if you want to save a bit.


or get second Z250.

The only people that worship GS like gods are the ones who can't afford it.

Nobody in their right mind would ride the GS daily through traffic.
Heck nobody would ride GS into the city. That's why the only place one would see GS is on the highway.

I have never seen a GS in city traffic. Ever. Not even once

Since mixed highway and city i would suggest something that is comfortable to ride at 80-100kmh (highway) and not too big to filter through traffic (city). And since its for daily commute - get something upright and that you could put a top box easily.

Scooters NVX/pcx would be the lowest cc scoots i would suggest, if can get a 250cc range would be nicer.. kapchai takut nanti highway you'll be vibrating a lit since always at high revs and plus the fuel tank is small.

I saw someone doing Foodpanda rounds around the KLCC area on a F750 about a month ago lel

But yeah, touring/ADV bike generally are too heavy to be used as daily riders, and OP did specifically mention that he wants a cub bike or scooter.

precisely.


I have friends that wont even bring out thier 1200 and 1250 to light gravel trails let alone more technical single track. Its not easy to muscle around something that big and weighs in excess of 250kg and 280kg with camping gear. You need a few guys to lift it when you drop. And these are experienced senior riders with multiple bikes. They just bring out the smaller bikes to go off-road.

Its a good bike and immensely capable and comfortable mind you, but not worthy of hero worship. Besides most of us dont have the skillset to handle that much of a bike.

Someone reported you probably not because they dont respect the GS.

They reported you because you were being stupid.


TS ask for a small light bike, and you come in with your nonsense again. Go troll at the Motorad forums instead.

Seriously, if you do indeed an owner of one of these bikes, you are doing the brand and image a disservice. BMW should be ashamed to have the brand associated with your kind of stupidity and attitude.

to be honest, NVX price is way beyond the Hong Leong Yamaha RSP. Shops are selling at around 14k-15k OTR.

I'm looking for a scooter for daily & may be for weekend ride as well.

Noticed that Wmoto Xtreme 150i resale value drop a lot compared to other scooter. 1 year old scooter depreciates around 2-3k. Does this scooter has any problem?

QC issue happened with some bikes keluaran MForce, not necessary the product is bad, but during CKD assembly at Alma Bukit Mertajam, the QC is non existent, causing the final product defect and out from kilang,... Like the wiring installation done badly causing shorts and burn the ECU, some nuts inside the engine didnt torqued properly when installing and such...

All Jepunis brand fall into the play of Dealership Mafia network... that's why the pricing is Suggested Retail Price by Yamaha.... Honda knew thats why they start the Honda Wings dealership network....
