Everyone has different needs when choosing a motorcycle for daily use. Some want a fuel-efficient motorcycle for commuting to work, some are more concerned with comfort when traveling long distances, and some want a motorcycle that is powerful enough for daily use and weekend rides.

Whatever your needs are, a motorcycle that is suitable for daily use should be easy to handle, comfortable to ride and does not cost a fortune when it comes to maintenance. Here are five motorcycles that you could consider.

1. Honda CB250R

The Honda CB250R is a well-balanced naked bike for everyday use. Powered by a 249cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, this motorcycle is able to produce around 27 hp and 23 Nm of torque, enough power for use in the city or on the highway.

The upright riding position makes the CB250R more comfortable than most sportbikes, especially when riding in traffic jams. Its weight of around 145 kg also makes it easier for the rider to make U-turns, cut through traffic and park the motorcycle in tight spaces.

If you want a motorcycle that is sporty but still practical and comfortable for everyday use, the CB250R is definitely one of the best choices.

2. Yamaha YZF-R25

Many people think that sportbikes are not really that suitable for everyday use, but the Yamaha YZF-R25 is able to prove otherwise.

Equipped with a 249cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that produces around 35.5 hp and 26.6 Nm of torque, the R25 has enough power to overtake vehicles on the highway and is still easy to control when riding in the city.

Although it does have a much sportier riding position, the ergonomics are still comfortable enough for daily use. In addition, its aerodynamic design helps to reduce wind resistance when riding at high speeds, making it an attractive choice for those who commute using the highway every day.

3. Kawasaki Versys-X 250

If your commute to work involves a long distance every day, the Kawasaki Versys-X 250 is a motorcycle worth considering. It uses a 249cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that is known for its smooth character and is suitable for long journeys. Matched with a tall seating position, wide handlebars and long travel suspension, this motorcycle offers a level of comfort that is hard to match in its class.

The Versys-X 250 is also perfect for those who like to go out on the weekends because it is able to play a role as a daily commuter motorcycle and a light touring motorcycle.

4. Honda ADV160

The Honda ADV160 is one of the most popular scooters in Malaysia for a very simple reason, it is very practical. Powered by a 157cc, liquid-cooled eSP+ engine, the ADV160 offers sufficient performance for both city and highway use. The CVT automatic transmission also makes the ride much more relaxed as the rider does not have to change gears every time he wants to stop and move.

Furthermore, the large under-seat storage space, Smart Key system and comfortable riding position make the ADV160 an ideal choice for those who use their motorcycle every day, whether to work, college or for daily errands.

5. Honda RS150R

For those looking for a motorcycle that is lightweight, economical and easy to maintain, the Honda RS150R is still one of the most popular choices.

This Kapcai is powered by a 149cc, liquid-cooled DOHC engine that produces around 16 hp and 14 Nm of torque, providing quite energetic performance without having to sacrifice fuel economy.

Its compact size makes it easy for riders to filter through traffic, find parking and navigate through busy city streets. At the same time, its performance is still fun enough for weekend use, making it one of the most versatile daily bikes on the market.
