          Thanks to Naqip Ahmad, he gives us the Pros and Cons about this bike, which is really helpful for those whoever considering purchasing this bike.

PRO:

7. Until Modenas RC200 introduced, Naza N5R is the cheapest full fairing bike.

CON:

1. Sensor problem. Engine shut down suddenly.
2. Stock tires are very slippery.
3. He encounters problem switching to N gear. Have to shut down the engine just to free gear. (Solved: Adjusting cable clutch will do)
4. Can feel vibration while reaching top speed.
5. Rear signal lamp already has moist.
6. Brake light won't activate if you hit the brake on foot pedal.
7. Another problems he encountered recently: When you stopped in first gear,  you have to hold the brake as well even when you are pulling the clutch, otherwise bike will move like the throttle twisted.

Ray Superbike Prototype

   Hey there. I have been busy recently building my own bike. Yeah, custom bike. I already order Lifan 250cc engine(a racing spec engine), and using delta box frame. I got that from Skyline. For the fairing, I try to design it by copycat some from Ducati and Aprilia design. In few months, we will see how this works. But for now, only the frame and the engine are ready, but the fairing still on design work. It could take some time, but let's hope it's work!

Ahhhh, this will be nice.

       There are 2 types of 250cc Lifan engine. V-Twin and parallel Twin. I pick the parallel twin, since it produces nice sound and great top speed power. Lifan is made in Taiwan but there is authorized dealer in Malaysia. So it's easier for me to get the engine. I list down the spec of this Lifan engine that I gonna use for my bike:

Type: Double-cylinder,four-stroke air-cooled hand-clutched 250cc
Displacement:233ml
Compression ratio: 9.2:1
Primary reduction: 3.631
Bore x Stroke:53mm x 53mm
Max.Power & Rotating Speed:13kw/8500r/min
Max.Net Power & Rotating Speed:12.5kw/8500r/min
Rated Power & Rotating Speed:11kw/8500r/min
Max.Torpue & Rotating Speed:15.5N.m/7000r/min
Min.Fuel Consumption: ≤354g/kw.h
Ldling Speed:1400r/min
Ignition:CDI
Starter:electric starter
Lubrication: Pressure/splash
Transmission: 5 speed

        As stated, this engine is using air cooled system. So I have to use oil cooler radiator, to make sure this engine has long lifespan. This is a racing spec engine, so it is not suitable for daily use. It's okey, I will get another bike. This gonna be my collection anyway. Besides, proud to have my own custom bike.

   You know, it is very rare to see any Yamaha R25 in my place, Sabah. Maybe it is a brand new brand. But there are many riders asking about how good this bike is.  have been searching the bike since few weeks ago and still din't catch any.

  So when they ask me about it, I can't give any pro and cons based on my experience, but I still can give info about it when I do the research via internet.  So here we go.

   Yamaha YZF R25: The Everyday Super Bike. That is official tag line for this bike. It means you can use ii in daily ride, to go work, and city ride where there are a lot of traffic jammed. She also comes with three different colours; Red, Blue and Black

PROS

1. Powerful
           A 250 cc bike with 35 horse power? Its quite fast to me even it claimed can only reach 171 kph, but I personally think that this Yamaha YZF R25 can go more than 171 kph. This super bike even qualified in Moto GP 3 Racing.
   
2. Good Facelift
          Good speed must comes with good look. This nice facelift is totally different with R15, R6, and R1. She has her own beauty. And one more thing, girls do love it.
   
3. Reliable
          Its Yamaha, man. Yamaha is known to their quality that build for lifetime. And the spare parts are ready stock too. So you don't have to worry about it.
   
4. Good Price
          The price is just RM 19,000.00 OTR. She is much cheaper than Kawasaki Ninja 250R, and same price with Honda CBR 250r and Kawasaki Z250. but compared to these two bikes, Yamaha R25 is much more worthy.
   
5. Super Light
          The new designed lightweight, compact and slim chassis, Yamaha R25 is just 177 kg of kerb weight, makes her among the lightest bike of 250 cc twin cylinders.
   
6. Daily Use
        During the lunching in mid 2005,and asked them what they say about YZF R25, the Yamaha replied "A super bike for everyday." It means this bike designed to handle the traffice jammed's pressure, and can be used everyday to go work.
   
   
   
   (The Yamaha R25 lunching (Left) together with Yamaha R6 (right)
   
   

CONS

1. Poor Accelerations.
       Even she is powerful in top speed, but in acceleration, she's a bit slower compared to her rivals, Kawasaki 250R, and Hyosung /Naza Blade GTR 250,
   
2. Low Brightness
       Her headlamp could be has some problem with the brightness. This is projector headlamp, it suppose to brighter than bulb. I hope Yamaha could fix this.

     So I hope is can help you guys if you gonna purchase this. Remember those info comes from internet. I cannot give you my opions about this since I never ride this yet. But for sure, this is one good bike for starter, or experienced riders too.

Have a nice day, people!

REVIEW: Kawasaki Ninja 250r

   Happy Sunday every one! How was you been? Although I have been non stop busy most of time, I still have time for blogging, posting, riding and most of all, having fun. And today, I giving another review for another super bike. Kawasaki Ninja 250r. This super bike is belongs to my friend Nasrun. And this review also came from his experience with his own Kawasaki Ninja 250r.

    Before we begins, here a little bit information about Kawasaki Ninja 250r. First of all, we all know that this is the bike that top seller of 250cc in Malaysia, and most of another countries. Kawasaki Ninja is made in Japan but the factory are based on Indonesia and Thailand. There is no factory in Malaysia but we do have a lot of Kawasaki Service Center. So no worries about getting your spare parts. Kawasaki Ninja 250r has been arc enemy of Yamaha R25, Honda CBR 250r and Naza Blade 250r. So, here we go to the specifications.

SPEC:

1. Engine:
       Kawasaki Ninja 250r using Twin Parallel Cylinders. Four Stroke Machine and has Liquid Cooling System.  So this kind of engine types suits enough for hot temperature like Malaysia.
       The displacement for the engine is 249cc, and has high horse power, which is 32 HP. So Kawasaki Ninja 250r is the fastest among 250cc super bikes.  Not to forget, Kawasaki Ninja has 6 gears of transmission.
   
2. Dimension:
   -Width : 715 mm
   -Height : 1,400 mm
   -Seat Height: 775 mm
   -Length  : 2,085 mm
   
3. Others::

   - Tyre : 110/70-17 (Front)
               130/70-17 (Rear)
   -Dry Weight: 153 KG.
   -Price : RM 24,000 onward.

     Enough for simple specifications. Now we go to the Pros and Cons about Kawasaki Ninja 250r. Not to forget this review is came from the owner of the bike, Nassrun, that has ridden this bike for at least two years.

PRO :

1. Fuel Save for 250cc engine. Has bigger tank makes you less worries about long distance of ride.
2. Good cornering. If you looking a bike for fast corner, Kawasaki Ninja 250r should be on your list. You will take corner much faster, much safe and much funner. But again to not taking it recklessly.
3. Spare parts are stock ready. You should not worry if you looking for spare parts. Quiet expensive but the quality also the best!
4. Has nice face lift. Every one knows Kawasaki Ninja. The face lift and design are awesome. If you ridding this in city center, you gonna get a lot and a lot of attentions.
5. Better sound. Well, Its two cylinders bro. You know the sound is better than Honda CBR 250, SYM T2, or others single cylinder bike.

CONS

1. The parts are so expensive. You know a cheap parts are not good. And a good parts are not cheap. SO you do the maths.
2. This bike is quit slow when it comes to convoy or long distance. But still much faster than other 250cc bikes with single cylinders.
3. This is the most expensive bike for 250cc. Even that, the quality are the best so you can use this for another 10 years!

KTN RS3 250

      Hello everyone. Excited waiting for new year? Me too. And this might be my last post for this year. And my post is about KTN RS3. It has another names in different countries. For example, in China they call it Zhong Shen 250. In United Kingdom they call is Cyclone RX3, and United State of America has another name but I can't catch up that name. Forgot already. But in Malaysia, we call it KTN RS3.

(You can use it for long distance.)

(Or off road adventures)

   This is the bike that we can call a sport touring bike. It can be used in urban ride, and off road rides. Built in China, this machine has capability to produces at least 25 horsepower for displacement 250cc. Has single cylinder, four stroke, four valve, liquid coller and total weight could be around 170 kg. 

    

   In Malaysia, they opened price for the market is RM12,800. Additional RM500 you can get Engine Guard, 3 boxes, and wind shield. So all price including insurance and road tax could be RM14,000 and for Sabah and Sarawak its gonna be around RM16,000. But its the cheapest sport touring bike for this moment. I can see it from mudah.my. And I hope the spare parts are easier to find here.

(Here are the spec for the bike. Click for better view)

   

           So all we can do is wait until it came here. once this sport touring bike came at my place, I promise I gonna give my review about this. But for this time, just wait. Until next time everyone. Safe ride, and Happy New Year.

     Before that, here is my final photo for this year. A girl with KTN RS3.

Malaysian Top 5 Beginner Superbike

     In Malaysia, there are always a new beginner rider, every single day. Even from mat-rempit can turned to a super bike rider. For beginners, you are recommended to start a super bike with 250cc, as a learner bike. A big bikes like Kawasaki Z1400rr, Ducati 1149, or Yamaha R1, takes special skills to handle, and a lot of experience to keep your 100++ horsepower beast on street. Otherwise, accident can happends. Some of it, lead to fatal result.
     But not to scare the hell out of you. here some good info for those who wish to start a new life, as a big big biker.

1. Naza Blade 250r
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
          Naza Blade is a 250cc motorcycle, 4-stroke engine with 70 degree of V-Twin. Liquid cooled and has only 5 speed of transmission.
          Naza Blade is a Korean super bike, called Hyosung GTR, and assembled at Malaysia. These model encounters a lot of complaints due to a lot of problems in earlier models. But now day models seems have a lot of improvement.
        To me, Blade are useful for daily use. As its easier to maintain, fuel save, and can be ridden in urban traffic. But if you have extra budgets, I suggest you to look over another models of super bikes.
       By the way, if you are Ducati die hard fans, but cannot afford to own one, then you should buy this Blade. In Malaysia, a lot of riders converted their Naza Blade to 1199 Ducati. Nice touch!
   
   

   

   (One of Naza Blade converted to Ducati)
   

   
   

   
   

   
   
2. KTM Duke 200
   
   
   
          KTM Duke is a 200cc of sport bike. It is a single cylinder with Double Overhead Cam. Liquid Cooler and has 6 speed of transmission
         If you are looking a multi-purpose bike, for urban and offroad, KTM 200 is your answer. This euro-design super bike has a lot of dans in Malaysia. If you are beginner, this bike is what you should ride. But if you are planning to upgrade, KTM also provides models like Duke 390 and 690. You can upgrade the engine,without change the face of you bike.
   
   

   

   
   
3. Honda CBR 250rr
   
   
   
   
   http://my.shareddis.com/p/9182q
   
   http://my.shareddis.com/p/9182q
         Honda CBR250R is a 4 stroke Double Overhead Cam engine. Single cylinder, EFI, and the close rival to Kawasaki Ninja 250r. She has 6 speed of transmission.
        This could be yours if you wanted a reliable motorcycle for long time. A 250r of superbike is suitable for urban daily use. So if you own this cheap but good quality super bike, youu can use it for daily use or weekend use. Most review and feedback from Honda CBR user, they said this super bike are comfortable for long distance ride. So, add this on your list if you don't have any super bike yet!
   
   
            
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Kawasaki Z250
   
   
              Naked version of Ninja 250r, Four stroke, twin parallel cylinders Double Overhead Cam, liquid cooled, and has 6 speed of transmission.
             As you see, this street fighter is real dynamic and aggressive as combination of Kawasaki z750, z800, and z1000's concept, for design that more to urban. This Z250 has exact spec like Kawasaki Z250, except this is naked versions. 
   
   
   
   
   
5. Kawasaki Ninja 250rr
   
   
   
   

               Kawasaki Ninja 250r, Four stroke, twin parallel cylinders Double Overhead Cam, liquid cooled, EFI, and has 6 speed of transmission.
               This is the expensive 250cc in Malaysia. Also the number 1 250cc in Malaysia. Ninja 250r, the people's choice.This is very suitable for beginner. Has good on both speed and style. Yeah, could be expensive but reliable. The older generation are still using Carburator, but latest models are all using EFI. Malaysian Police (PDRM) in Traffic Division, using Kawasaki Ninja 250r as their Pursuit Unit. So, how bout it? Made up your mind?
