Those riding er6n/f, z750, z1k, can you guys fully put both feet on the ground when on the bike?

Please include your height in your reply too.

I really hate that I can only tiptoe on my R6 despite being at least 175cm.

Wow. Didn't know what balaclava was, Googled for it and it looks like wat Counter-Strike wears.

My helmet is an AGV, free with the bike purchase.
Salesman bullshit me said it's worth RM2k.

I check online ppl selling RM1.1k only.

Anyways, I learned a lot about helmet from this site: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle-helmet-guide

They have great explanation videos for almost each product.

So many to consider in buying helmet ah? So difficult lah like this..  rclxub.gif Me wanna buy the bike very soon.. but all the gears, helmet and stuff better buy first am I right?

Not really. Can buy the same day you get the bike, or ask the salesman to give u free one, while u continue looking for a better one.
Or just wear the normal helmet that most kapchais use while searching.

Basically, safety and how well it fits your head is most important.

What's your criteria for your helmet?
Have to be pink?
Have to be less than a certain price?

any that does? if not how to know if that bike is suitable for u?

I've asked that question to all the salesman myself, they keep telling me
the people that come, already researched online and know what they want.

The best thing you can do is ask to test drive the 2nd hand models that
they have for sale.

I did that with KTM. They didn't even ask to see my license.

Another way is go to bike gatherings, personally interview the bike owners of the models you're considering.

What KTM do you use bro??  brows.gif  brows.gif

I'm riding an R6.
Test rode a Duke 690. Fun shit, love the torque and exhaust sound. Purposely twist more to scare the kapchais when passed by them.
Was only using my normal Index helmet when doing this. The G force (and maybe wind also) pushed the helmet up, feel so unsafe and uncomfortable.

Lowest offer so sar for er6f is 37.8k, with free ff helmet don't know what brand, alpinestar jacket n gloves... Good deal or not?
*
Breakdown the helmet, jacket and glove price and see lo...
Ask them for specific models of the free gifts, if low quality one, might as well nego to not get the gifts and slash the bike price, then go buy higher quality gears.

If they don't budge, then ask for upgrades (better helmet/gears, more free service, free membership to their bike club, etc)

Hello!

ive just purchased a super sport bike few weeks ago and out of curiosity, i would like to know when would i have to change my bike tyre. like who do i know when its all worn off?
*
What bike?
Just see the tyre thread, if the depth is less than 2mm or 10mm (not very sure), then you should change it already.

He rarely use that bike cause he love harley more so i just use the z750 xD there's one time i went to my campus using the bike, i pass out 2 times because the weather is extremely hot + the bike is too hot + i'm having a fever.

I thought it would be hard to travel at that speed without fairing and screen?
