Nimota CK9 - Riding the Lord of the Street

I bought my Nimota CK9 last week and now in the middle of testing the bike. The recommended selling price RM6400 OTR which includes insurance and road tax. The running in distance is recommended at 500km and according to the user's manual recomended engine oil is semi synthetic 15W/50. I have heard that riders also choose 10W40 with no issue







I can tell you now that my initial impression of this bike is rather good. I specifically love the riding position and also the low to mid range torque generated by the engine. The balance between weight and torque my riding style especially in town like Kuala Lumpur where you have to swerve accelerate decelerate most time. The ride is usually exciting due to the balance of power to weight ratio. I have read various reviews regarding this bike before deciding to purchase. I can tell you most of the reviews regarding Nimota CK9 is positive.

The only concern which I share with other CK9 users is the fact that it is generally difficult to place the bike into neutral. There were times that during the neutral position the indicator light would show neutral but im still on 1st! But with some practice you can get used to this. And also there is a workaround that I found out. At the moment the work around is under testing :P
