Thanks for your input. I thought the same.
But the thing is, since I'm not coming from scooter or kapcai back ground, I'm unsure if I'll really be invested into riding yet.

Thus, the dilemma should I just start out cheap with a dominar or tnt249s.

Found a 249s (2021) with 20k mileage for about 6k... quite a deal. so I'm tempted.

in terms of looks, ofcourse mt25>249s>dominar. haha

Susah broooo, but I guess I'll go test ride more and I'll know the answer.

Yea, thanks for the tips. Gonna try out a Dominar 400 UG. upgraded specs (39hp and USD fork) and priced about the same. more value, might be the right choice.

Unexpected, but went with the Benelli 249s for only Rm5.5k!
Looks sweet and rides well. Has a Box, modified exhaust and side mirrors. Just a bit heavy.
Can't wait to ride it.
