CFMoto 250 SR: First Ride Impression

A colleague of mine recently traded in his current motorcycle for a CFMoto 250. His original plan was to get the Patagonian Eagle 250 cruiser but because the bike requires a long lead time, he opted for this instead.

 

BMW G 310R: First Ride Impression

During the Second ride to nowhere - within Penang, we went to the BMW showroom to test ride some of their bikes. Since I have tested the R nineT the week before, I opted for a smaller cc bike: G 310R. This bike uses the same engine as the G 310GS with the exception of the design. The GS looks more like an adventure bike and the R looks more like its big brother the F 900R.

The smallest CC bike ever produced by BMW

The design of the dash reminds me of the F 900R which is a very simple LCD display. Not too much information to confuse new riders since this is their targeted market. There is gear indicator, time, odometer, tachometer and fuel gauge.

BMW R nineT: First Ride Impression

One of the group member while on the break of riding suggested he wanted to test ride the R nine T and we made Auto Bavaria our next stop. On the way over we stopped by at a coconut shop and he had to go due to some prior arrangements. Since there was another member who wanted to test the S1000RR, I decided to take the R nineT out for a spin.

We reached Auto Bavaria and took over a coffee table with our helmets before heading up to the Motorrad section to find Gary to register for our ride.

Helmets galore: LS2 Valiant, HJC IS-Max II and Icon Airflite
