Hi,

I have never bought a bike from direct owner before. Anyways I also dont have any motorcycle license but aiming for used triumph street triple R at the moment. Previously rode a ninja 250. I guess to protect buyer and owner, it is safer for both to be at JPJ to change name? I worry in the case that buyer pay owner, then owner give bike and geran but somehow owner submit police report saying bike is 'stolen'. Also change name no need motorcycle license right?

Thanks bro. Ride on.

Guys, anyone experienced buying second hand bike from direct owner before? Owner still got loan with bank and on the geran / title itself it says -hakmilik dituntut oleh bank XXXX-. So what is the proper procedure for the buyer? Ask owner to settle the balance with bank XXXX first then only proceed with tukar nama?

Ya personally i prefer the owner to settle the balance itself first and get the geran / title to be redeemed from the bank. Then can proceed with the normal process. Ill have to see if owner got enough capital or not to settle the loan.

Im not going through the sambung bayar thingy.

Ya thats what is being proposed at the moment, a bnw agreement. I suppose this is common, but i suspect legally it is not binding since the bike legally is claimed by the bank and the owner actually is not legally able to sell it until he/she finish paying for the loan. The drawback for buyer is that you have to depend on trust i guess.

I guess as a buyer what assurance or document that protects buyers side before banking huge amount of money for seller to settle their loan. For all we know seller can also provide bike first to seller then submit police report saying bike is stolen.

I guess my search for the perfect bike continues...

Mt 09

Guys im in a dilemma between used street triple R 675 or used MT07. I fell in love with th whistling sound of the STR. I can imagine it makes me smile every morning when i start the engine of the 3 cylinder 675. Bike very light nimble and will be easy for my commute to KL. I have a hard time finding a used STR though, some got loan, some priced to high and new ones also not much discount from fast bikes.

Yesterday went to meru to check out used MT07. Lady at shop allow me to start engine and sit on it. The 2 cylinder crossplane sounds better than ninja 250/650. I researched online a bit and the bike seems to bring out the hooliganism in you. Probably bring out the dark side in me and wheelie in between cars at NKVE highway.

So now im torn between two. Market for 2016 mt07 around 25k while 2014-2016 str around 34-40k.

Any owners can share their ownership experience in terms of service / availability of spare parts.yamaha need to go sg buloh while triumph go to fast bike? Both ok?

Thanks guys

Initially was looking at MT09 as well but i think it is a bit overkill for my application. Didnt manage to hear stock exhaust but one fitted with racing muffler sounds too loud for me n my neighbour.

Guys want to ask. If buying a second hand bike with no more loan, is it safe for buyer to pay full amount prior to official jpj change name process and there is an agreement between buyer n seller? Plan is seller will then go change name at JPJ without buyer at different date and then within 7 days buyer will also go to JPJ independently to complete the process.

Go SC premium at Sunway. Mechanic there good.

Sidetrack a bit, anybody know where i can get good dry and wet tyres for scooter? 80/90-14 and 70/90-14. Stock tyre is Kenda.

Try LS2 maybe for budget full face?

Guys for kapcai how long usually battery last. My low mileage (2k+ km mileage for 2 years) scooter's battery is now reaching 2 years. Just wonder if i should replace it before it kong by itself.

Guys guys urgent, im planning to ride to georgetown end of Dec. Do you know which hotel I can safely park my big bike with ease of mind? Maybe one that can park in front of the hotel? Thanks for the tips guys.

Thx bro
