I see there's quite a number of Versys owners.

Do you regret buying this bike?
Please share your experiences riding and owning this model. The FC, monthly maintenance, handling etc.

Bought new or used, cash or loan? The colour and which year?

If you have another chance. Which model would you buy? And why?

E-Bike

Electric bikes are here. No need maintenance, only belt and tire change. Charges 6-8 hours can go between 90-100 km. Need to buy power pack to charge the battery when on the go. At night can charge at home or anywhere that has plug points.
Hmmm..... Very convenient and can save more.
Maybe can buy one for trips to groceries and run errands nearby.

Service and Maintenance record and reminders App

Dear sifus,

Anyone using any smartphone App to track their bike’s service logs, maintenance records and reminders etc.?

Which one is the best for Iphone and Android?

Mostly are for cars and mixed vehicles.

What I’m looking for is an App solely for bikes only.
Just like the cars app, it will remind you your next oil change, parts due service, fuel tracking etc.

Please state your favourite app. 😁

Which is the best big bike for pillion comfort?

Hi otai otai bikers, I intend to get a 250 cc bike in a few months. I have read most topics here but can’t find anyone talk about pillion riders.

The bike is for weekend rides, light off road trails, city rides if alone and occasional long distance holidays. Eg. KL - Melaka - JB etc. My wife will follow as well.

My budget is below RM 15 K. I intend to buy second hand.
I’m not sure which one is comfortable for pillion riders on long distance rides. I prefer a quite type or a soft whisper type as the noisy ones are deafening.

I’m a B2 holder and has no intention to upgrade to B full, so the Itch to upgrade to bigger bikes is NIL. Lifetime B2.

My friend recommended the Versys 250 and Z 250. I have not rode or listen to the exhaust sounds of either bikes.
Vulcan S is not in my class type and I feel awkward with my legs in front. Most cruisers are like that?

Please recommend a few types. Thanks.
