it's not about paying cash or installment....it's the maintainence that matters. btw, have you ride a cluthced bike before? have B full ? how many years experience?

Maintenance is not that expensive if u get a decent jap bike. They'r quite reliable.

ALL sing bike normally trade in CASH.

Once u hav the bike, your sunday is going to be different. U won't spend ur time sleeping....coz there are more important REASON to get up!

if you don't have such experience, i suggest you buy a cheap 4th hand RR, TZM or RXZ and rumble with the bike, get used with the clutch and everything else. Get used to it until the bike is destroyed...I don't wanna hear you destroy your brand new big bike...

believe me, I have several friends who owns big bikes. Once I had an idea of owning one, but those are the things they suggested to me. Until now, still put my intention on hold.

LOL i will see about that

but buying another bike means i dont have money to buy a bike anymore ....

Your choice.
CHeap way of maintenance is ok too. around $100 per service.
Expensive maintenance will give more performance (kn filter, motul 5100, irridium sparks, etc) cost more than $300)

Most expensive ones:

1) Front n rear tyres -around 1k per over 1++++KM
2.) Road tax (Sing bike COE renewal)
3.) accessories for your b****iness (exhaust, decal, helmet, jacket, glove, boot, etc)
4.) Break-down

Be sure to be financially stable/ready for all these expenses.

hi there, how do i get the Singapore license with my Malaysia B2 license? Did I need to take any test?

Sing license is DIFFerent. U can't get sing lic unless u perform the test and get the grading for 1st level. After x years, upgrade to higher license level (to use higher than 250cc bike, and so on)

(last I known) to own a sing bike, you may have to use international driving license, which you can get it from jpj here.

Sing PR has advantage!


Added on March 1, 2010, 3:13 pmTS,

All the opinions here are valid/good. It depends on how's ur attitude on riding. Given a cubchai, a rempit way can go more than 160km/h, no sweat.

ER6 is good for beginner (for a few months if your skill pickup REAL fast or your demand is much higher...), a 600 supersport (ZX6r, CBR600 RR, R6) can last longer. BUT - u pay the price of learning diificulties coz they'r mean, unforgiving machines if u make mistakes.

get a 2nd hand to thrash and learn. Get a good s-sport once u've learn to handle a mean-machine.

gud luck!

Yes, COE costs a bom.

Hassle on yearly inspection, Sing insurance renewal, M'sia insurance renewal, etc.

That y i still ride a m'sian sbk eventho sing/thai bike is "relatively" cheap.

junbecks said the line - sing bikes are onli good for jb folks, work in sing perhaps.

KL fellas will still have to stick to sucking expensive bikes! mad.gif

On d other hand, zxr250 runs into slightly more maintenance fee than d new ninja250.

Cost wise : zxr250 - $12~14K; Ninja250 - $16~17K (2nd hand)

Make up your mind... sweat.gif
