Hi guys!
I will be commuting from Shah Alam to KL for work starting next year and planning to buy a motorcycle to avoid the massive traffic. The route will be 30km one-way (60km daily). 80% will be on highway with dedicated bike lanes (Federal & Kesas). 20% will be in town riding.
So far, I have narrowed down to buying a used FZ150 or Nouvo LC 135 due to my tight budget of <RM4k and the fact that I didnt really like kapcai looks. FZ150 will be the more practical choice, but Nouvo LC provides good underneath storage space without having to install top box. My questions:
1. Since both bikes have stopped production, is spare parts/accessories easy to find?
2. Which bike is better in terms of comfort & power for highway riding?
3. Any other bike suggestions that fits my budget of around <RM4k? Kapcai suggestion are welcomed.
Thanks!

It's a scooter, it has storage under seat that you also like, it's thrifty to run.
LC135 passes by my radar as first bike to rough out.
At that time, not many on market used.
It is very thrifty on fuel, but fuel tank is not big.
So every 2-3 days you have to fuel up.
Servicing scooter is much simpler than kapzhai that's chain driven.
Change lube, change gear oil every 2nd time you change lube,
service CVT every 5000km (open up, clean dust, close it)
replace CVT belt every 20,000km
No worry about cleaning chain, jam clutch / gear etc.
It's also twist and go.
So you can concentrate more on your riding and traffic condition without trying to recall which gear you are in and have to down / up shift.
It's a scooter, so you have foot rest. Running through puddle of water won't get your shoe wet.
Cost saved for not having to install top box.
Lastly, when it's time, selling LC is also very easy.
It's reason why I hardly see any advertised when I was searching for my first bike.
**Disclaimer:
I have a thing for scooter because I am lazy and practical, so I can be bias
