A reader gave me a link to the above advert and asked for my opinion if this was a good deal as he was in the market for a ER-6F 2G (2nd generation). The current 2012 model is known as 3G (3rd generation).
If we are to comment just based on the advert, there are a few pointers as per the following :
1) Mileage is very low at below 5,000 km- this essentially means that the bike is very new and nicely broken-in so that the new owner could just concentrate on the riding;
2) Bike looks stock;
3) Price of RM30k is very reasonable if the bike is CBU Japan (as these were selling at RM45k in 2010; meaning a steep 33% depreciation over just 2 years). But if it is a CKD model that was selling at RM36k in 2010, then it would seem somewhat reflective- the premium could be due to the low mileage. But then again, most of the CKD ER6 2010 seems to be hovering around RM28k at mileage of between 15,000 - 30,000 km, so if I was to choose between those and this low mileage example, I would still go for this one.
The most important matter is still for the reader to test the bike first before committing. Good luck there!
I just bought a 2010 Japan Completely Built Up ER6f with Aprakovic exhaust and Givi side panniers and top box, at RM38,000. Mileage was 8,000 at time of purchase.
ReplyDeleteI could actually get a brand new 2012 Malaysia Completely Knocked Down ER6f at the same price; but after looking at both quality, I preferred the Japan edition.
It's harder to get the Japan edition so if the advert is for a Japan edition, you better test ride quickly and seal the deal. Peace out.
Apa salahnye beli yang buatan Malaysia? Lagi best, beb, harga pulak murah gile berbanding yang Jepun. Aku dengar kawan yang beli Ninja Jepun kata mesin diorang lagi cantek dari mesin kitorang yang tempatan. Aku bilang, ni semua percakapan kosong aje. Sepuluh ribu beza, beb, baik beli yang Malaysia kan.
ReplyDeleteMemang tak sama, beb. Aku dulu pun ingat yang ER6f 2011 ku yang dibeli pada harga RM36k memang berbaloi kalau dibandingkan dengan yang mereka beli CBU. Tapi masa konvoi ke Genting Highlands, kita tukar-tukar motor saja nak cuba dan saya dapati yang CBU memang lebih mantap. Macam mana nak cakap, fairing dia macam lebih berkualiti, vibrasi enjin kurang, panas enjin pun kurang (yang CKD aku tu panas bahang kat sebelah kanan), dan throttle respon pun lebih terasa. Sedangkan motor standard aje- eksos pun tak tukar langsung. So masa kawan nak hupgrade ke ZX10R tahun ni, aku offerkan trade-in motor ER6f 2011 aku dan aku top-up sikit sambar ER6f 2010 dia. Memang syok naik yang CBU, beb, patutlah harga dia pun melebih-lebih kalau banding dengan yang CKD.
ReplyDeleteEr6f 2012 amacam plak?
ReplyDeleteI have CBU Japan. ER6F. Need to let go.
ReplyDeleteEmail me if interested.
Hi bro. Im considering to buy an ER6F CBU manufactured in 2010 but only registered in Feb 2012. Current mileage is only 8300km because the owner has another bike (z1000) and both are weekend bike. It stated there "Kenderaan Import Baru" in the certificate. Why register in 2012? The owner said that this ER6F was a lucky draw present won by a lucky guy in early 2012 and the owner bought it from the lucky guy about a month later with 0 mileage.
ReplyDeleteI had a test ride and it feels good. Just like riding a new bike. I used to own a versys 2012 CKD and test ride on this ER6F 2010 CBU was as good.
He is asking for rm23.5k. Is this a good deal?
