Just wondering if there was any advantage in choosing 125X over 125S.

From what I heard there was only cosmetic changes, and 125X only has kickstart version currently.

Added on July 22, 2008, 12:41 pmsee ur other posting regarding helmet.....

Traded in lar.. told the salesman on the spot.. wanted to change.. not yet get.. this is the second week waiting already.

Well, bought the X instead of S because it was the newest lar.. hahaha.. bought the blue colour one.. tubeless tyre was Duro if I'm not mistaken, rims can't remember..

the LC 135 a bit out of budget, and I don't want 2 stroke bikes.. wait lar.. few years time get bigger cc bike..

if still got money left, try modular helmets lar.. hahaha..

i also think that wave X better la.....eventhough rm200-300 more than wave S
but when i 1st ask the dealer there...they strongly advice me not to take waveX wo...but better take wave S.....cos can easily get spare part
they said wave X nobody buy 1 wo...scare next time, honda discontinue this moto...then very hard to find spare part wo

i also admire LC135...but too expensive.....since its my 1st fully owned moto......better take wave X la.....

wa...wait 2 weeks alr ah

i bought the white 1.....i dunno whether i wanna use white or black rim to match
which 1 do u think better?
*
I think parts shouldn't be a problem lar.. how much difference can there be between the S and the X ? When i went to my dealer, I saw 3 X model already being sold.

Suggest you take black rims. Top white, bottom black.. yau ying.. hahahaha... biggrin.gif

this is your first time riding motorbike?

Anyone think the gear changing points in the speedometer are too optimistic? The engine will be screaming in pain if I follow them.

Foot gear shift lever (the downshifting part) is small, and too close to the bike's body. Bound to put down the sidestand instead of downshifting one day!

Furthermore, when refuelling, have to depend on sight ah? The hole is so big, it won't be like a car's where the pump will automatically stop.
