Seriously asking this?? I WONT RECOMMEND ANY OF THE BIKE ABOVE SINCE U NEVER OWN ANY BIKE BEFORE..

*sigh*

I hope you will see my point for not supporting any of ur choices...

What kind of bike u REGULARLY ride for the past 24 months? now if you say u regularly ride someone else supersport/litre bike or even something like ER6.. then I guess it shouldn't be a problem for you..

R1 is a beast.. make a mistake.. It wont hesitate to bite...

CBR600 and ZX6.. now this two is a superb bike for someone who already familiar on what gear to use during corners.. 600's are high revving machine..

ok.. ER6n/f are just nice for a beginner.. BUT only if you have a proper experience handling bikes that are generally heavy.. so my best say is that.. dont chase on the LOOKS and HOW PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU... at the end.. It is you who will be riding and if you fall.. it is you who will endure the pain... and not to forget the waste of money for repairs and recovery...

so save yourself from those unnecessary stuff and get yourself something smaller...

first.. IDENTIFY your preference.. DO u like a SPORTY riding or more like RELAX riding.. if sporty is your choice.. there are lots of bike to start with...

there are:
APRILIA RS250 (2 Stroke) (NOT IN MANUFACTURE [2nd hands only]) (RM15K + -) (3* on looks)
APRILIA RS125 (2 Stroke) (RM20k++) (4* on looks)
KAWASAKI NINJA 150 (KIPS) (2 Stroke) (RM10K + -) (3 * on looks)
KAWASAKI NINJA 250 (4 Stroke) (RM20K ++) (3.5* on looks)
NAZA BLADE (NAKED/FULL FAIRING) (V twin [4 Stroke]) (RM15K-20K + -) (3.5* on looks)

HONDA CBR250r (4 Stroke) (RM20K ++) (3* on looks)

now these bikes are what I can say a proper beginner's bike.. I myself own the 150 Ninja Kips... and it's my first bike too..

So.. ur Budget is around 40k.. well that is a very2 GOOD BUDGET... so now.. choose whether u want a sporty handling or a more Easy handling..

HONDA CBR250r is an easy riding bike.. same goes to the NAKED NAZA BLADE... so from there on.. you may progress to a bigger bike like the ER6/XJ6/MONSTER and so on..

But then.. if you want to have a feel like a racer then.. the rest of the of the bike listed are the way to go.. especially the 250's cos from there you can get yourself ready for a SUPERSPORT like the one u mentioned...

Now.. the most important thing before getting a bike is to get your gears ready too.. Now that you saved 20k from ur budget for bike.. you now may spend for riding gears like a FULL FACE HELMET... Rdiing jacket.. Riding boots.. Gloves.. well all the necessity...

Then lets talk about your long term maintenance of these bikes.. THESE BIKES are perfect for you to see how you would be spending for a bigger capacity bike..

TIRE.. this is important.. most of the bike listed above wont be equipped with a good stock tire.. so I would suggest.. the first thing you do is to change the tires.... ESPECIALLY the front tire (that is where 80% of your braking power need to be transfer on the road surface)

So dont be a cheapo when it comes to bike maintenance.. I will only suggest two brand of tire.. BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX or PIRELLI..

learn how to control your bike.. learn how to lean a bit.. learn ur body positioning.. basically equip yourself with lots of experience and then move on to a bigger bike..

So.. Good luck.. and WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BIKES... hihi
