managing traffic is superd but a bit dangerous in KL certain highway

rarely ....
for 20 year bike experience, i only kena once .....

buy online is good, but confirm the size with local store first, some design is not really suit our head shape ...

helmet also try local first, get the size correct n feel comfortable .... then order online hahhahahhaha

u first time ride? on a er6f?

btw imo er6f look ugly -__-,why don't you buy xj6?the price not much different

sorry if i hurt ur feeling,i never suggest anything,i said 'imo' i don't like er6f,the engine sound and design,people have different taste so its up to them,it's not like he didn't buy the bike yet and i'm trying to make him buy 'other' bike,duh...

imo nobody want to buy ugly bike,same like your gf/wife...

all i know xj6 is a heavy bike

btw do you think next year 250r/er6 model will be upgraded?i think last time they upgrade this model was at 2008 right?i hope something epic will happen next year...

oh, I understand. 
I wasn't hurt or anything, just wondering because you asked him "why not buy XJ6?" and thought maybe you were using the bikes styling as a basis to decide.

No problems mate.

congrats bro. maybe you can share some photo here 
Always shifting down before you completely stop and blip the throttle while shifting. It will help much.
Enjoy your ride and safe ride always 
 
Btw, when this thread can go V2??

do you think its okay for a person who never rode a bike at all except bicycle to start on a 650?
ie blade 650r or er6f

u at least have some experience on back 20 year ago, some have 0

that is experience ....
now u know why biker park reverse ?? hehhehheeh

bro ... push at the side much safer and with the side stand down to be on the safe side. My height is 5'6" and until now I still push it rather than taking a risk sked tumbang ... malu. 

If I need to push my bike backwards, I will stand close at front facing the bike. I grabbed handle with both hand and push back with little help from my stomach balancing the bike. Can imagine how I do? Side stand must be down to be safe.

You can push from side of the bike, 1 hand on handle and 1 hand on rear tail or even both hand on handle and pull back but im only 58kg and my bike is nearly 190kg with full tank, I can’t really do that. Same if let say your bike fell down, how you gonna lift up if you are alone? You shall know the answer 

Qqmeng: another note for u : if u happen pick up a passenger, pls advice ur passenger alert u when they try to step on it, is hard to balance when u don't expect that force.
I fall down once at island plaza, it take me, passenger + security to push up my bike.  . . . .  Damn malu

Check the weight.  . . ., . .  If u stay in condo u scare ppl steal or break it.  . . .

You really should get the side box, it really helps if u wanna bring anything..since now is durian season maybe can carry durian too
my bike is not suitable for side box, so i bought a saddle bag..this was when i balik kampung last month..

Haha true.... Whoever got space, other bikers will fill... haha

if on level road, pushing big bike is not that hard, IF you can put the bike straight where the weight is balanced. but we always feel scared if the bike lean on the other side cos if it does then prepare for some quad damage never reverse the bike with you on it if you only manage to tip toe. a simple loss of grip will be enough for disaster, it can be sand, leaf, plastic bag, uneven surface etc.

most bikes will look very nice with side boxes but they are not practical for everyday use, if going through traffic is your daily routine.

Dude, piece of advice. If you've a bunch of friends with big bikes, do not attempt to try them. I tried a Z1000 when I had a Er6f and next thing I know, I'm surfing mudah to look for a new bike d. Anyways, ride safe!
