Here kapchai rules but yea scooters are becoming more popular. I cannot brain scooter so maybe with bigger cc there's more torque so I think this one might get it.

Have you tried using fuelly? Pretty good way to track your fuel consumption as long as you remember to note down the KM travelled and litres filled  laugh.gif

if BS can reduce the price to/near 250SL area, it would be good.

this so called 'battery' issue and 'wiring' issue is not new in modenas.

back then, some of the early batch GT128 suffer same issue as well. This blunder really worries me

im wondering how the SST is gonna affect bike prices next month.... i really hope theres zero to minimal increase...

but knowing sellers... they will max the shit out of it la.... haih sad.gif

sst is known to be not 'transparent' as gst...judging on how they markup famous bike (e.g., nvx, y15r,rs150)...i'm sure the hike will be noticeable

If u prefer no clutch kapcai,  take either lagenda fi,  dash 125 or sym sport rider.  I suggest either one of these 3 despite smaller cc & still air cooled engine mainly because of these 3 kapcais are fuel injection.  Believe me, with daily ride like yours,  u wanna ride a fuel efficient kapcai.  Lc135 is still using old technology,  carburetor. U will fork out a lot of money for monthly fuel if u use lc135. U will save a lot of money for fuel using any of these injection kapcai. Plus,  they got storage compartment under the seat which u can put your raincoat & other small items which is useful.  Lc135 doesn't have this handy storage  compartment though. Air cooled engine is still okay with your daily ride because u r still less than 70 km one way, just my opinion though. I have rode dash v3 and now dash 125,  around 35 km one way daily ride to work,  just less 10km from yours though..

Theoretically fuel injection will have better fc.

But upon checking fuelly, lc135 average fc is 45km/L.
Still ok.

But I have rode lc v1 before with aggressive riding style, 80-100kmh speed, only 120km max one full tank I can get. My previous dash v3 & current dash 125 consistently can get 170km one full tank, with the same riding style,with fc rate at around 50 to 55 km/l...  rclxms.gif

Hence the reason why I suggest him those three kapcais because of my own experience.  smile.gif

I do like lc as well due to its power, liquid-cooled & no hand clutch, but I simply will not get it due to still using carburetor..  doh.gif

Honestly though, I will not return back to any carburetor type bike since I have experienced the good-ness of the fuel injection technology. haha  tongue.gif

This my old suzuki fx110 with stock mikuni carb. Can easily get 200km. See below.

guys, wanna ask something

RS150R vs SYM VF3i

RS got 2 cams, VF3 got single cam

CC 150 vs 185

I used SYM vts for years now, reliable even as a scooter.

now want to have kapchai as my other option bike.

any user of VF3i can give their VF3i usage review?

I know the user review on RS, but cannot find enough info for VF3i for user long/mid/short term ride reviews.

it would be very helpful...thx
*
DOHC arrangement mainly for fitting more valves...but the cons is it will make the engine heavier. may correct me if I'm wrong.

Based on the mentioned vlogger, the hp and torque is much higher than Y15. Since Y15 got better torque than RS, we can safely assume that the motor output is far better than RS.

well, it got more cc afterall

that kinda of details I know...

just want to know on the ride feeling.

suspension feel, fuel consumption in city/highway..

any small details issues that we aren't aware of as non user..kinda thing
*
based on the vlogger, if my memory serves right:

i) suspension is a bit on the soft side. need to reduce the fork height to get better stability.
ii) Wobble during 130 km/j and above
iii) quite tall. just like RS

haha. don't think this will improve handling. maybe they reused the unused part from benelli. maybe that explains why usd fork suddenly present in this retro bike
