if you plan to have pillion, dom400, my wife loves it, till i sell it and move on to er6n, much more basic bike.( no abs/slipper clutch)

dom400 v1, first bike, weight just nice, still can cilok in traffic (took me 3 weeks to build the courage to lane filter. I'm a greenhorn btw).

thing with heavy bike is, it goes both ways. If you able to manage it, no issue with lighter or heavier bike.

Saw v2 at imotorbike around 8kish. I would go for v1 if you plan to sell the bike <1 year time.

Yo do tell how the ER6 is like to ride in traffic. I'm around 162-163cm, looking to an ER6N, but doubtful if I should just opt for a Vulcan instead.

I live in Cyberjaya, so 95% of my commute route is highway estate

Highway wise, should be able to filter through. I use it during rush hour damansara/PJ/nkve/school area no issue. Just watchout for moped, as i only filter at 60kmh max if traffic standstill.

For me its easy to handle since seat height is quite low even though its heavy. If you are looking at er6n 2012 onwards, make sure the bike has been valve recall.

Thats awesome to hear and very relevant to me.

I'm planning to get the V2, since it's much never and only at 7.5k.
Less issues I hope.

Gonna test both the 249s & Dom UG tomorrow.

Congrats on 249s. suprisingly it come with twin front brake. Happy learning. Dont forget to learn to ride in raining/heavy rain condition.
