Got consider electric motorcycle? If under 100km a day, those 12k-15k electric motorcycle should be plenty.

What are the options here?

Got different price range anywhere from 5k to 15k but your mileage may vary. There's one at 15k with range of 200km and 90kmh top speed.

Seriously. Too bad for honda then.

heard nmax 160 might be coming soon? for real?
my dad has many yamaha motorcycles, been having great experience with that brand in terms of reliability, but price and design...meh

There is only one bike that fits your requirements from the list and its Dominar 400. It weighs 194 kgs which is well planted and enough horses(40 bhps) to keep you up at highways. It wont shake violently every time another vehicle passes you buy. Not to mention its a great value for money, 40bhp Duke 390 Gen1 engine, ByBre breaks front and back (same as 1st and 2nd gen Duke 390) dual channel ABS, upside down forks, LED lights etc etc. The cost of ownership is also very cheap, as spare parts are not expensive compared to other in the same CC range. However there are only two changes I recommend, replace the stock MRF tires it comes with a good pair of Pirellis or Michelins and install sintered brake pads, rest of it should be good.
Modenas gives 2 years ( I think its 3 years now) or 20k km warranty, the bike has no major issues as far as I know off so its a safe bet for the most part. The fuel consumption is also good, I usually get between 29 to 31 kms per liter in city but I rarely ride aggressive and check my tire pressure every 2nd to 3rd day.

Did you even read what his needs are? He does 90% of his travelling on the highway as a result he doesn't need a sub 180kg bike but something above 190 kgs. Dominar 400 is only 194 kgs, as its a sports tourer and the weight is good for the said purpose. I personally doesnt find it difficult to steer in KL traffic heck even with a pillion I can easily maneuver it through traffic .

Dominar 400 is a darn good value for money, not only you get a 40bhp engine but dual channel ABS and bike that will feel planted. The cost of ownership is also pretty cheap and I cant complaint about the build quality, just put a good set of rubbers and sintered brake pads and its good to go. 250 doesn't suit his needs. The only thing I agree with you is; stay away from KTM, be it 390 or 250 for that matter any KTM. They are a endless money pit of badly built bikes with atrocious quality controls. KTM doesn't address mechanical problems and as a result the defects carry on flawlessly from one generation to the next and I cant attest to that since I owned several KTMs both large and small.

I do no man, really mix with this d400. Hence why I really hesitate to recommend it.

Yes is true that it's a good touring ish bike due to the weight, best cruise at 110- 120 at highway, very stable, while watching other bike by pass you, or getting tail gated very close by other bloody stupxd axs car at left lane or mid lane.

Yes the quality match the price, value for money, so no complaints here.

But d400 really feel underpower for a 373cc , I expect more top speed at such cc. And because of the cc , you had to paid premium for that roadtax.

And no, not all like you, feel ok to go through jam with a 200kg bike.
It is very tiring thing for people like me, especially for people at older age. And if you check or monitor the 2nd hand market for d400, I'm sure you can see so many selling this d400 due to this reason, so definitely im not the only person that feels "heavy" when riding this bike.

I'm still using d400 thou, latest fix is the rear brake out, changed a new brake hose and pump. the condition is working great but don't think can't even sell it out cuz both front suspension is leaking now, again no complaints, I get what I paid.

By any chance anyone taking a d400, get a used one, dirt cheap, like almost half of what I paid for a new unit.
Getting a new unit like me make me feel so stupid, you need to repair a handful of things anyway even thou is bought new.

Edit: And yes, by service your bike at the right shop, the cost of ownership and maintenance fee is definitely much cheaper compare to brand k or h or y, spare part is cheaper.
