Full auto is boring as fuck. Just see op la. Only unkers love dct.
Honda eclutch is the best implementation imo. Doesn't take away the ability to shift if i want.

Good for u in the east.
Here rm800 roadtax
Diesel I fill rm200 not enough for a full tank.
Only can travel for 600km.

My bike RM40-50 can do 600km

maintenance roughly how much?

the ancient big twin V, fattest of em all(in terms of weight).

But each to their own and we don't discriminate, we welcome all riders of the 2 wheel. Kecik, besaq, mahai murah kita kawan semua, ride sama2

No stock mah...waiting list almost 18mths for v2 ...

Have you tried the Ducati hypermotard 790? How's the triumph to this?

I have CBR650F and the maintenance cheap only la
Where got expensive

Question to TS

Your bike got modify exhaust or not?

Ride to krabi with R1, maderparker never again. Regretted like fark.

I think bikes will undergo the same path as cars. There is bound to be enthusiasts who don't want the added weight of eclutch and prefer to stick with pure manual.

At least keep the pure manual option for as many variants as possible, not gatekeep to certain models.

lol paskal seen ur face why hide

X-Adv V3 still has long waiting list?

But but I see a lot of xadv riders are young.
And majority of the adventure touring owners are uncle.

Your logic is flawed?

Ballpark about rm1k a year.
I do most of the maintenance to all my cars truck and bikes myself. Life in rural area it's 1 hour to SC and a waste of my time.

I do about 10,000 km a year on the bike.
My last anakee adventure lasts 30,000km
Chain & sprocket lasts 50,000km
Brake pad lasts 30,000 I change already gatal tangan.
Only change 4T engine oil, no gearbox oil, no differential oil, no transfer case oil.

Bikers don't discriminate.
Those that have big bikes almost certainly have another smaller kapcai or scooter at home.

But but after extensive test ride I feel there's nothing special about it.
Spent an hour with it in mixed road condition and still don't get the appeal.

I think so.
Tried one naked Ducati at Rimba Raid.

Street fighter or hypermotard or monster can't remember ahaha. Need to find back pics.
Triumph tiger is adventure touring. Hypermotard is naked/street fighter. I don't prefer the riding position.

Between hypermotard or triumph street twin/speed twin/scrambler I'll take the upright position.

Of course.
Sounds like thunder.

I don't need to horn, I just blip the throttle to get attention.

So far ada kena saman or not?

My bike 2nd hand comes with sc project exhaust. Thinking if want to change to stock.

I shy in /k
Not shy in biker base.

No idea.
Not interested so didn't ask.

The CB1000F is supposed to have a slightly detuned engine compare to the CB1000SP, and a more relaxed riding position, for more chill riders I guess. Hope they will bring it in la, quite like the looks.

RM1k/yr sounds not bad actually.. but a man can only dream.. kikiki..

Suzuki GSX S1000GX
150bhp

Similar power level from some jap 2.4 liter car engine.
Yet when car engines have to lug 1.5 tonne around, bike engines have to pull only 200kg.
It's akin to riding a dragon. A cool, beautiful, shapely dragon.


Feels really light.
Seat height is quite low, and I can flat foot both feet.
Center of gravity also low making maneuvering easy.


Have some huge expectations when I throw my legs over.
After all, it's the first bike from Suzuki with semi active suspension. Fully electronic adjustment with continuous, dynamic damping control. Supposed to be able to smooth up bumps. Something like skyhook system from Ducati.
So my expectation is through the roof.

A bit let down.
The system sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't, the suspension is very jarring. Small bumps that won't feel on my tiger suddenly felt shocking. Like 30% of the time the system are not able to provide correct feedback to the absorber and it kinda make the whole experience worse versus a good adjustable suspension.
Tried changing the settings multiple time, various configuration still the same. When it works it's really comfortable.

Engine response is good.
Still the same character of 4 inlines, initial pull is softer. When it goes to mid rpm then it pulls away harder. Initial pull is softer than something like ktm duke 990.

Side by side with the tiger, I really think the tiger look more intimidating. Lagi jahat?

The tiger is a 2018 model.
The fully adjustable WP suspension in the XCX model is a really gem of a suspension. Absorbs bump like nobody business and really long travel make it a really comfortable touring machine.

The s1000gx is a really good bike. CBU, fully made in Japan and would probably suit the needs of many.
Not for me tho. Not much of an upgrade compared to the current tiger.

And I find the sitting position of the s1000gx to be a bit weird.
You won't feel it when the bike is stationary in showroom. Take it for a ride to see if you're OK with the position of the pegs.
