Great, time to check out the nearest bike school for b full

I dont know how much money you have, LOL, but if you are at the age you can afford a 1198, and still picking up young chicks, something is not right.
just kidding k.


If having a pillion is important, 1098 is avaiable. Streetfighter looks good too.

hi lucifah,

i'm pretty much interested in er6n
but how about the bike's loan? izzit similar with car hire purchase?with bank or the shop?

and the new ducati monster? can't apply loan from bank?

please share
thanks

Anyone knows what's the model for our PDRM's policebike ? Banyak cantik leh

sorry. can't help you with the bank loan details since i pay my bike in just 1 installment, i.e. cash

but from what i gathered from friends:

1. use personal loan, bank rakyat offers loans @ 4% p.a. advantage is the green card is in your name. downside is your loan amount can be very limited.

2. hire purchase - very few banks will offer hp for motorbikes, and their rates vary. last i heard is public bank @ 4.7 - 4.8% interest. maybank is at 6%. Aeon is worse, at almost 10%. only advantage is you can loan any amount you want, but financing margin is only 70% - meaning you have to pay 30% d/p

application is like normal - payslips, employment letter, tax return, etc etc etc.


hope that helps

Nice thread, can I take over/tumpang? I have zero experience in riding a bike and am currently targeting the Ducati Monster 795, is it suitable for newbie, provided that I'll promise myself to know my own limits ? Besides, how much is the road tax & insurance for this bike?

Police uses 2 new bike models, apart from the old CBX 750....

Honda CBX 750 Police bike



Honda VFR 800 police bike




Honda ST 1300 Police bike

This is the models that is available for public.... all V4 engine...

VFR 800




The most popular of all.... VFR 800 VTEC




The most expensive.... ST 1300

bikes for beginners

any bikes more than 750cc can be consider as 'superbike' .. below than that its just a 'sportbike' ..

as for beginner ..no need to think about those super bikes ..get used with a small sportbike range 150 - 250 cc..

trust me ..if you never ride a super bike before ..90% chance you might loose the bike control ... like what happen to my mom friends son ... the parents present their son with a superbike (not sure how many cc) ... he never ride a big bike before ..first time he ride the bike ..straight away accident and die ... a friend of a friend of mine .. only enjoy 2 days with his new CBR1000RR aka Rabbit ... then accident ..but lucky he is safe ..just broke the hand only.. all these because they are not used with the power produce from the bike ..

so...start with small bike first ..then upgrade to bigger bike slowly as you getting used to it..

that cost u a bomb to repair and service it .....

if i'm not mistaken , small - can do smaller turning radius while big - need bigger space for turning radius ...

maybe i'm wrong ...

and alot first timer mistake, they dare to accelerate (full throttle on 1 n 2 gear is sucide act), but when reach corner they slow down (thought slow can take corner easier) without keeping momentum, it become over steer and kaboom ......

Maintainance isn't the biggest issue..the loan is..because banks don't give loans on bikes

road tax in sarawak is bloody cheap, but you get lowya roads here

rm40 for my 650cc

insurance? depends on the sum insured. mine, fully value insured with 1st party, all rider, around rm900+



yes, some banks do give hire purchase loans on motorbikes, but the interest is very high (around 6%) and financing margin is only 70% (meaning you have to pay 30% DP)

Added on July 6, 2012, 11:42 pmalhtough you can buy the same models as the police, u can't get exactly the same

the police bikes from honda are specially designed for police use, with integrated equipment - not an add on or aftermarket upgrade. it was factory fitted - the siren, intercom, hazard, and lots more controls

Ar? Is Italian, . . . . Tyre is standard, wear n tare part that become Ur monthly liability if u ride it on daily basic

Can i purchase a bike prior to having my bike license? ie with loan from bank..

that is if u live in a perfect world

in our reality, bikes tend to fall down. accidents tend to happen. and that's where it hurts you the most financially, should you survive any mishaps w.o injuries

a simple bike fall would cause fairings to breaks, turn signals, side mirrors, handle bars - these small things cost a lot of money, and time to order, especially if it's an european bike

don't forget to factor in the periodical maintenance and time needed to look after your bike - oiling your chain every 500km, changing the motor oil and filter every 3 - 6k km, and such.

and your protective gears. good helmets cost 800 - 1,000+. u don't want to be wearing el cheapo malaysia, thailand or china made helmet with your duc monster, right? also important are gloves, costint you 100 - 200+, which will save your skin if you fall. riding boots are especially important. cost about 500+ for a good one. jackets are more personal. either you get full leather (500+) or a armored mesh jacket (300+ for grade a replica, 700+ for original)

all these are most probably accident-once-only. after and accident, you have to replace almost all your riding gears to to damages or torn as it dragged across the tarmac, protecint your skin bones.

Your comment alerts me to ride safe, if i ever start to ride..but some people start with 500cc> bike and have no problems too..it depends on individual

Ok then, i guess the salesman can give me more accurate information for semenanjung..30% DP should be ok, but the balance will need to loan as i dun wish to dump all money in that freaking bike perhaps i should start looking at er-6n or 6f? May I know what are the major differences between two of them? Kawasaki is more economical, but the setback is it's exhaust tone

Great info, guess i'd have to prepare another 10k standby just for maintenance & gears

what u means exhaust tone ?? if u want, u can change exhoaust system or u means engine sound ? 2 pinton Vs 4 piston Vs 2 stroke Vs 4 stoke is totally different ...
