mr. mohan, can you make a comparison on the ninja 500 and the ninja 650 please
telescopic fork sucks big time for a RM30k bike. also the 2 piston caliper is big letdown coz the ZX25R has 4 piston caliper. there’s no quickshifter too… this is an underspec junk.
That’s why ZX25R expensive than Ninja 500. For your information, Ninja 650 also telescopic fork
The code ZX means supersports, both bikes are in different categories. Ninja is just a sports bike.
For comparison, look at ZX636 and you would understand. The performance, the equipment and selling price.
This is just a slightly bigger Ninja 400 we used to have. Aside from the looks and a slightly bigger engine, everything else is the same
Looks nice and real light, cheap to run 2 cyls. Good deal at 28k
