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.

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.

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.
