Buying new Bike

[FatandSlow]

Would like to ask for opinions here, I'm 1.78m 83kg and only have 2b license i've looked and found the yamaha FZ16 and R15 rather attractive but will it be looking weird if i were to ride it? Its like the bike is so small and im quite big size. And i went to yamaha's website to see the specs for the fz16 and i come across the FZS, i looked thru both bikes specs its the same, so does anyone know the difference between these two bikes? Cheers (:

[bunny_hui]

Just see depand how much u have , and wat type of bike u like.

[MotoBike]

Go to the showroom and try sitting on the bike to get a better feel.

[Annal606]

I incline toward your idea.

[megusta98]

Your main and only concern should be, are you able to afford it?

[frozenpenguins]

KTM duke 200...

[Binteng]

get a daelim R125 ( so call the biggest 2b sportbike ) and i'm riding one..
just for your info , i'm 194cm , 120kg and this bike can easily clock 130km/h

cheers =D

phantom 200... cheap, good and easy to service...

[samsontok]

If I were you, I will buy a used cheap 2B bike & Save the $ for 2A.

Just my 2 cents.

Good idea, lol.......

[siddiq24]

im 1.78m,100kg..i used to ride a wave..for a single person,wave is good enough..petrol consumtion and maintainance wise is good..it doesnt matter what bike u ride.dont think bout looking funny but think bout saving money and a good ride..affordable too..

[danielling1981]

Agree. Save for 2a. Or save for cls2. Below can get 2nd hand though it may be risky.

As for look weird, if u worry about looks then maybe dun get sport bike? U will surely look bigger than e bike for 2b. Even 2a sport also not tat big in size.

Can consider phantom where ur legs can stretch out. Or those 2b (i think is 2b) adventure type. Or scramblers.

[AndrewAlwaysEmo]

If u plan on upgrading... Save the money for 2a or 2 ... Get a used bike

[Obsession]

Total agree.

Bro, I am 1.8m and 100KG. I guess Phantom is the best choice.

Maybe some other cruiser as well.

But as of I know, Phan is one of the cheapest maintenance.

If I were you, I will buy a used cheap 2B bike & Save the $ for 2A.

Just my 2 cents.

[AndrewAlwaysEmo]

Get a used bike if plan to upgrade...depreciation hurts

[AhRoNg]

Why not R15 V2?

[Sky99]

I'm about ur size and i ride a kup

[deathmaster]

I think the FZ16ST looks big enough, with its half fairing.

Phantoms are good, but getting rarer nowadays.

One suggestion:
Why not consider the honda tiger? It's 200cc, same engine as phantom. Boon Siew is importing it, so parts shouldn't be a problem.

I consider it as the ideal 2b bike. front and rear disc brakes. Big-enough rear tyre. Kickstarter present in case e-start fails. 200cc.

[Annal606]

Gush, this is just perfect!

theres also the yamaha ybr and bajaj pulsar

[nullifi3d]

theres also the yamaha ybr and bajaj pulsar

I'm pretty big and i found the pulsar a decent bike.

[xiaobanz]

Actually I kinda agree that if you are planning to upgrade in the future.. You should get a used bike.. I'm been getting a used bike since riding 5 years ago and hadn't encounter much problem except the wear and tear with will not be present with a new bike.nother then that nothing much.. Will save quite a substantial amount of money..

[vietnam travel]

Yeah, it is good. However, I prefer new one.

Just ride it. You will only get a favourite 2B once for the first time you get your licence. If you are getting 2B bike again, usually, its for transport/financail issue..
