Hi guys, for a budget below rm40k what is a good naked or sport bike?
I have a B full license.
Currently going thru a few like the Qjmotor Srk600rc, Cfmoto 800nk, cbr650r(over budget)
Also Chinese manufacturer vs Japanese manufacturer.
Preferably new bike, and 4 cylinder.

Does it have to be new?
If used many options for 4 cylinders japan naked bike
kawasaki z900 or suzuki gsx-s750 are both solid choice.
Both can be found under 40k

for sport bike.. only cbr650r fits your criteria but like the cb650, would be over your budget

other than 4 cylinders, you have ninja 650 and z650, they are also beginner friendly

If new I'd pick cfmoto over the qjmotor, cfmoto simply has better finish and feels more premium

srk600 isnt that bad maybe you'd actually like it when you get on it. I've seen some of them on the road

nothing wrong with chinese bike
just do maintenance regularly
im use Modenas Bajaj NS200 for 5 years,
people say this curry bike will broke down...
nothing broke so far, always replace part although not broken yet in example clutch, cable, brake pad, fuel filter etc..
my battery i always change every 2 years,

Preferably New due to warranty, so pocket not so sakit if engine issue or any problem due to 2nd hand.

Id look into Cbr650r, quite over the budget ady, its also my first bike, so i dint want to get over expensive and branded.

What do you think about imotorbike? Is is recommended to get 2nd hand bike from there?

what bike you really like?
have you tested it and still like it?

don't waste 40k because you compromise on a bike you don't like
end up it's a 40k regret and you lose more money in trying to sell it for another bike

aim for the one
save for the one

either you can afford it, or not at all
compromise your buying decision based on budget is the worst thing you will do in buying a motorcycle


"what if I had extra 7k and bought that CBR instead"
"what if I had bought a used CBR for the same price instead"
"that S1000RR/GSXR/ZXR/R1/CBR1000RR is only 46~48k"


in the end, get the bike you really want
every purchase decision can be a costly mistake, and you end up spending more to fix it later on

also see what is your riding experience la

if me, 40k, I'll get a used 1000cc sports bike and be happy

Okay, I'll try to rethink my decision.

But is there a bike you would recommend?
400 to 600cc
4 inline

I did think of getting a bike there too, but some bikes are quite close to a new bike price for it. And some are okay, just worrying about the parts problem etc.

what is your riding experience, and what kind of riding you like?
you said 4cylinder, work and weekends
how far do you plan to go? do you carry passenger, or add touring boxes?

do you have workshop nearby that is trustable and able to advise you?

small CC 4-inline is not nice to ride on public roads, or long distance
not that you cannot do it, it's really not nice to ride

if recommend, long term wise you want to avoid surprises for repair, choose Japanese
- the less tech, the better

400~600cc 4 inline?
- CBR/CB650R is about the only thing worth mentioning IMO, but this bike is under-powered
- 40k used is all over the place, just last night I saw one for this price, mileage under 3k km registered 2022

here is gsr 750, should fit your budget
reputable shop also, bought from them before
newer model gsx s750 also got in the shop

https://www.mudah.my/Suzuki+GSR+750+GSX+S+7...+-105221299.htm

also found this used cb650r, cheapest in mudah so far.
but mileage already 40,000+ km, so might need to fork out some money for major service like vc, spark plug, etc

Depends on how many unit Mforce sold CFMoto

they bring in tiny Papio, so high chance they bring in mid range bike

I think china also also have another 4 cylinders mid range

Modiwei 800 I think

4 dapor only the QJ600RC and maybe the ZX25? Upcoming will be the Daytona 660 (3 cylinder but sounds way better than a twin).

Maybe even more, as the 660 range starts at RM45.9k for the Trident, then RM50.9k for the Tiger Sport 660...this Daytona has more power and a bit more tech. My guess is it could be priced between RM53k to RM55k when it comes.
