This my own perspective regarding this bike coming from Suzuki Gixxer 150 Carb. Disclaimer lang, Im not an expert, just my personal observation using this bike.
Been using this for 1000km odo reading and so far here are my inputs regarding this bike. All stock maliban sa break and clutch lever lever.
I will not tackle about the bike looks because it is subjective, and syempre I will be bias since i bought this bike na isa sa factor is its aggressive naked bike looks.
Good things about this bike
- This bike has power when you need it. Coming from 150cc SOHC bike this feels different and medyo malayo yung agwat nila, from driving feels upto performance. Nasanay kasi ako sa shifting habit ko na nagbebase sa tunog ng bike bago mag shift ng gear but this motor is diff, Before kasi sa gixxer ko pag nagalit na yung makina you need to shift gear na kasi wala na syang ibibigay pa sa gear na yun, but this nk250 is diff, high rev performing engine sya. pag pinakingan mo yung makina na galit na sya (High RPM) but may ibinibigay parin sya upto 8000 - 8500 rpm.
- The slipper clutch. Sobrang sarap ng feature na to, Engine break feels smooth and ang lambot pigain kaya Kahit isang daliri.
- Dual ABS, Coming from disk break front and drum brake at the rear nung previous na motor ko grabe yung dagdag sa breaking confident mo sa motor na to.
-2 modes option Sports mode and eco mode. Responsive sya pag naka sports mode and medyo tame sya pag naka eco ramdam mo sya sya sa arangkada at sa throttle response.
- Build in type A and type C charger. Ginagawa kong dashboard cam yung action cam ko. hehehe
Bad Things about the bike
-Medyo off location ng horn button nya (Though may nabibili namang extender)
-Malambot yung stock preload ng rear shock need mong ipa adjust lalo kung madalas kang mag back ride kasi sasayad kayo sa humps.
-Wala na yung inverted fork, badass swing arm at tft display nung unang version
-Medyo mainit sa binti yung buga nung fan Lalo pag traffic and stop and go while tangahaling tapat.
-Medyo masakit sa pwet pag mga around 2 hours kang derechong nagdadrive and feeling ko if may OBR ka isusumpa ka nya sa long ride,hahaha
Topspeed ko dito is 142kph and it takes around 7-8 secs from 0 to 100kph.
For me sulit sya sa performance and features for P131,900 na price with 3 years free LTO registration. For the tibay wala pa akong masabi bago palang kasi sakin so far eto palang yung masasabi ko sa bike na ito. Siguro i will update after 10,000 KM odometer at kung may lalabas na mga sira (wag naman sana).
If may tanong kayo feel free.
