EX5 - KTM Duke 250 - CB650R - Tracer 9GT

Size of your body and condition is more important if you ask me. I'm tall so when i got my B full and bought the CB650R, it doesnt suit me and ended up selling is less than 3 months old. Also i had back issue so the Tracer as a adventure tourer and its big suits me just nice

Hopefully it is a clutch kapchai. If not get 1.
Ride it until you outgrown it and by then you will have figured it out.

For my size, im 173 cm height and 100 kg weight. If motorcycle that too small, it might not suitable for me. I went to motorcycle shop few days back to test my sitting position. But they recommended CF MOTO CLX250, DOMINAR D250 and Yamaha MT250

Avoid the CFMOTO 250 platform, the engine is old, jerky piece of junk and they're releasing a two cylinders 250 soon.

Based on the shop suggestion actually Im keen for KTM motorcycle. But this shop they dont have stock, hence reconmending another bike. I went to Gs cycle.

Maybe after deep research and consideration, I might go with naked bike. KTM Duke 250 consider its price and availability. If duke 250 dont have stock, maybe duke 200 lah.

They reason why I choose 250 cc because I not planning to renew to B Full for time being, considering I dont plan to upgrade to larger bike for now.

For my kapchai, i will use it as daily ride nearby. To groceries store, to pasar malam, to mamak shop. Bring my kids go taman.

For usage, this bike will be my daily ride to work and weekend bike. I still keeping my kapcai, maybe for going to pasar malam or going nearby.

I dont want too fast, but its suitable as daily ride. Can cilok bit during heavy jam. And can go ride on the weekend. Naked bike is my preference. Budget around 15k - 25k. Might go 30k as well. depends on what bike.

Considering Im from KL need to travel to Klang for my work. And sometimes need to going back to KL for meeting. Maybe around 50km distance.

I used to own a KTM Duke 250. Quality is equally bad, 1st week new bike, wiring harness cut somewhere had to send back to factory to stripped whole bike to redo whole wiring. Maintenance cost is also expensive as much as big bikes

I planned for scooter as well actually. But that one not for daily ride to work la. Just for my family, when go nearby. I did not plan to keep my Honda RS. I want to let go of it and just get 125cc scooter. Maybe vario.

If you ask me, I also like design and feature of Honda ADV160 and SYM Husky. But xmax not a bad bike as well.

Later I got 2 scooter 😂 if I purchase 250cc scooter.

My wife sure scold me. Why soo many scooter leh? One not enough 🤣

unless you are planning to bring your wife for ride, keeping L for B full a year is just RM 120.
then you can make B full license at PS samy at kkb for about RM 700, you can ask about it at their branch in batu caves.

renewing license is all online now anyways so theres no hassle.
get that er6/z650
