Hi all, am looking for suggestion on motorcycles for commuting. Have a B Full license.

Am considering between a Honda RSX or a Dominar D400 for commute however am worried that the D400 might be hard to squeeze through traffic in KL. Besides these two, are there any other recommendations < 20k?

Don't mind second hand motorcycle however the brand/model should have a good reliability record.

It actually depends on your preferences , For me i've been riding D400 with side boxes since I bought it (my first and current bike). Used to ride 40km daily in peak KL-PJ traffic jam with no issues. Now I'm riding 100km daily through also. It'll be harder than kapchais but still manageable for me.

Haha... whatever floats your boat. Whos to say what is nice or not as long as the owner deems it necessary to fit luggage to his/her bike. Afterall, not everyone needs or can use, or can afford a dedicated touring bike for longer trips. The most common and popular bike now is a naked bike. They are cheap, plentiful options, sporty and fun, but lacking in luggage capacity. We just make do with what we have.

We do have pannier kits for the Ninja 650 sportsbike that bolts into stock mounting locations on the bike, so whos to say that panniers dont belong there as the manufacturer already makes an allocation for it? Hehe.

In fact, i'm very happy to see people outfit thier bikes sometimes to the point of being a pack mule, as it just means, they are riding the bikes and making trips, instead of being a garage queen.

at what speed will the panniers be unsafe to ride on on a naked bike you think? since it creates quite alot of drag compared to a top box hence lifting the front up more?

I've been riding my D400 with full pannier + 43l top box ~ , before I put my panniers the top speed can reach 160km/h , after i slap everything now is about 153-155km/h top speed. no significance apart from slower speed.
