ah i see.. thanks.. my friend is selling one at rm100k.. so thinking whether its a good buy or not, not sure what accessories are thrown in, all i know is a full Arrow system exhaust.. will inquire more tongue.gif

by the way guys, asking sth about a helmet, just got my Shoei RF-1100 helmet ytd, tried it on, yes very snug fit.. but problem is its kind of pain at the crown area (the skull right above the ear) where my skull is directly touching the inner shell of the helmet.. the hard part without any padding.. if u guys understand where im referring to laugh.gif  anyone facing this when getting a snug helmet as well? yet to try it on for a ride.. will do it this evening and see how bearable the pain is.. afraid that the pain is there and will compromise riding comfortability..
*
then the helmet is not the right size or fir for your head.

get a snug, but comfortable helmet

using helmet that cause you pain may distract you from focusing during riding, and may cause accident

worse, if it restricts blood flow and you can pass out when riding long distance

its snug, but not comfortable shakehead.gif argh man guess Shoei just dont fit my head size.. i tried on the Shoei X-12 feels ok still and the crown of my head wont touch the inner shell.. wonder why RF-1100 so different from X-12 in terms of sizing doh.gif

so i just brought it out for an hour ride, really tak boleh tahan the pain caused to the crown area on my head.. after that really feel cant focus on ride anymore.. sad case cry.gif

anyone interested in my Shoei RF-1100 Merciless helmet? Size L, as good as new only half hour usage laugh.gif

anyone knows how much does it cost for a brand new one in msia? mine i got it from the states for $549.99 including shipping charges.. just wondering how much should i price it wink.gif

damn... rm2k helmet u have to let go just like that only... the risk of buying online w/o trying it onn first

i bought mine last month (from local online retailer) and was very relieved when it fits like a glove the 1st time...


QUOTE(hanizhan @ Jun 30 2012, 04:38 PM)
if i want to be a biker, minimum monthly income i should get how much..?
need opinion..tq

depends on many factors - your bike size, riding type and budget

buying brand new will cost significantly more, but you have not much hidden cost or suprise repair costs, just occasional periodic servicing

buying 2nd hand may save you some money initially, but it may need constant repairs, which will eat up your monthly budget


bank loans are available. but at high interest rate. HP for m/cycle is usually very limited and the interest is at around 6%, with 70% financing margin (meaning 30% down payment)

usually, one will make a personal loan and use the money to buy the bike. Bank Rakyat and Public Bank is the top choice for this option due to low interest (4-4.5%), but the amount of loan is very limited to your income level

while others (including yours truly) just splunk the cash and be happy with it...

after 3 months of riding, i realized something
riding a big cc high powered bike in everyday commute is like playing game with cheat codes

you have the speed of a car on highways

and you have the agility and maneuvrability of a moped in traffic jams


the more i ride the bike, the more i despise driving - being stuck in traffic, having to tolerate slow drivers and worse of all, not being able to crawl to the front line at traffic lights... and when the lights turn green, accelerate into oblivion wink.gif

just my 2 sen.

when you have the ability to take a deep breath, relax and know that you cannot do anything about bad traffic, is when you know you are mature enough to handle a motorbike. (or any vehicle for that matter)

u got a point there.

i used to be okay driving slowly in traffic, both in a car and on a scooter. old fag liao.

but that was before i got to know what a 70hp on a 200kg machine was like... laugh.gif

luckily i still ride a 650cc twin. at least i know there's still upgrades, a 750 i4, then a 1 litre bike with 190+hp would be my pinnacle

rumors from Ninjette.org

QUOTE
Kawasaki announced today that they will completely redo the ninjette for 2013. The change is meant to crush the CBR250 before it gets started. So I guess we'll need a new section of the forums - pre-gen, mid-gen and new-gen. Some highlights of what they are going to do:

    Fuel injection (finally!)
    optional ABS
    higher flow exhaust with new connector pipe and a higher-volume 3-chamber muffler
    less restrictive airbox
    upgraded suspension (finally!),with rear adjustable single offset laydown shock
    a flatter, better padded seat to avoid cramming into the tank
    wider tires so we'll have more aftermarket choices (150 rear/120 front), but Battlax radials will come stock
    gearing will move to 15/45 to make it more highway capable and get a more useable 1st gear
    LED lights and signals for added safety
    Cosmetic mods will include ZX-14 and 650r styling cues. The blinkers will be flushmount and the rear fender will be redone.

Kawi says it will have 36hp out of the box with the new exhaust and FI. Pricing should stay the same at $4500. I can't wait.

I dont think many know about this. I believe it is rare in Malaysia but i seen many at my place. Mostly owned as a 2nd bike by the duner's after their Quad.

I never read the details about this "bike" but if not mistaken, i asked one of spyder owner before and they said there is 2 version, full auto and manual. Not really sure if correct.

On road, once im side by side at traffic light. They are pretty fast lol. And they take corner without fear.

Not bad for OKU type bike  biggrin.gif

and according to some website i read, u need a B-full license to ride one of that

apparently, JPJ classifies the Can-Am as a bike, rather than a car

just wondering, anybody using superbikes (500cc and above) for daily ride? how is it like in terms of managing traffic in urban areas?

I saw the ER6F in the flesh, saw the price tag, and I think hmm..why not.
*
i do.

gained some leg and shoulder in the process

need a bit of adjusting, coming from a scooter background

fc is bad. 10sen / km. a full tank of rm 20 of ron95 last 210km

calfs get burned when bike is stationary and it's hot as hell

definitely not a practical choice

but it's worth it. got gaya what. hahahah

hahaha.. I only ride once in a blue moon and no bike at home. but like what you said. gaya mah! the ER6F is really nice, and the price is within reach. but that kinda FC is really bad -- though still cheaper than cars.

you riding the ER6F? btw how tall are you and can you flat foot on it?
*
6n - naked

165cm, if both foot, toe in only

but usually when i stop, the left foot stays on the gear changer and the right foot is flat footed (of course, this is with riding boot, if sneakers, still have to toe a bit)

i ride daily to work (except sunday when i just let the bike stay in the sun).

best part of my ride is tapau those moped kids who think their LC is fast, or any ah bengs who ride their beng-ed vios or city like it's an F1 car, but when the lights turn green... 0-100 in less than 5 seconds

and oh yeah, get a litre bike. i thought 1-100km/h in 5 seconds was awesome. dunno in just 3 months, i felt it's sooooooooo sloooowwwwww~~~~ a litre bike can do it in less than 3 sec.

i am thankful in Malaysia where we dont need to have a physical number plate stuck on your windscreen. LOL

Indonesia have the same metal plate number too as in India

In fact, the plate number has the expiry date, which is just like our road tax. so every few yrs, they'll have a new plate (same number lar, just new plate)

although helmet size is maybe fixed at certain cm or inches, the shape and fit is different from each brand and series

it's very important to get the right fit, or you'll be having lots of uncomfortable hours of riding

so far so good as a beginner. stalled a couple of times and getting myself to get used to the weight of the bike.

seriously, it is not fun when u want to push the bike backward from the parking (i m a 165cm shortie haha) 

do u push the bike backward after u hv ride on it...or u push it at the side?  blink.gif
*
i'm 165, and i push he bike sideways. no problem. the trick is u can use your hip (resting against the seat) to support and push the bike back
