[Nels0n]

Hi need some help deciding this 3 bikes.. Im leaning towards RVF coz i like its original paintwork, and it is the newest of these 3 bikes.. As of now, i've no plans to upgrade to class 2.. So which one these 2 bikes is better in terms of performance, durability, fc etc..

Thks in advance for any replies

It is agreed amongst us RVF riders that our bikes are petrol-drinkers. Durability -- an RVF is okay, but being a sportbike, sometimes the owner would need to do frequent spot-checks during maintenance.

Any knowledgeable CBR / PGM riders here wanna share with us how your bikes fare?

without fail,my choice will be a RVF ! Favourite 2A bike...but i got a Spec III coz of the comfort of riding...waiting for Class 2 then getting a sports bike back !

[Nels0n]

haha.. i am also leaning towards that.. only thing is the cost.. but if it's worth it, den i'll get it!

If all these bikes were still avaliable new , give me the PGM anytime .

i have not ridden others except PGM IV


its a race bred bike wif dry clutch, fierce sound ( wif twin KNN filter)


with the maintenance of a normal bike, i used to ride one 3 yrs back, it was ard 6 yrs old, and throughout the 3 yrs of ownership, the bike didnt give any problem at all except magnectic coil once.


the power is super shiok when it reach 8k RPM when the valve open, its like sudden surge of power n then u will go wwwwwwwwwoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.


i say gimme the pgm anytime, provided its in good condition,


\PGM will give bery good pickup n mid end power through put as its a V-twin 2 stroke

but it has no top end, normal keycard 178kmh, HRC card duno, but shld be higher ard 200kmh


maintenance wise i think engine oil is 2 bottles, only thing u need to take care is the 2T, used good ones



but i think there arent any good ones in sg already, i heard only 50pcs got registered here, i est the current population now to be less than 10

[creativekill]

For me i go for PGM... Cos among all 3 i tested... PGM is the most powerful one.. althought is a 10 years old bike.. if u could find a good condition one... u could be one of the fastest 2A in sg... upz for PGM =)

[c4ble]

For me, I once thought of getting a 2A sports bike before I got my s4. A 2A sports bike has lots of power but not too much, just nice for SG and occassional NSHW. But if you compare a 2A sports bike to a 600cc bike, a newer 600cc cost much less than a 10yr RVF(exclude insurance & tax) and at least you're certain that parts will be VERY EASILY available at least for the next few years.

if dun intend to upgrade, den a RVF.

But this kind of thing u cannot really tell.. coz I have a fren who rode a SP as u are riding rite now. Die die say he wun change, but a year later, he was on a s4. Told us S4 is perfect for SG roads & condition, thus will keep it until he has a car. A year after, he's now on a Fazer6. Say FZ6 more powerful, good bike for sg road, blah blah blah. And recently, he just told us he's thinking of selling off his FZ6 for a Busa

[Nels0n]

lol.. funny eh him.. yea.. im becoming more n more tempted by a cbr600 :x

But first thing first, guess i'll see if i can get a gd RVF when i get my 2A..

[jia_yvon]

upz for cbr400 fireblade

wa ur fren reli damn 1 kind.. lols..

[allenbryan]

i will put a upzz for pgm !!! jus loves it power and the cornering stability !!!!

pgm jus need 2 sparkplug, 1 bottle of gear oil
cbr and rvf is using 4 sparkplug n 4 bottle of engine oil
(correct me if i am wrong)

rode 3 bikes b4, but wat type of things u are looking for ??

like top speed ?
like pick up ?
like corners ?

FC is depends on the bike whether is stock or fully mod and how u ride it !!!!
skills and speed is depends on how much u can throw into the bike for it to perform to it fullness level !!!

[RYANS]

me too.. up for PGM if u like twisty corners~

[danielsin2]

there'a a pgm for sale in used bikes section.. jus fyi..

[jojojo]

yupx..see wat u perfer la..corner or top end..
diff bike suit diff type of riding style n wat the rider playin on wat..
since u said u dun plan for class2..juz get a RVF to mod..
RVF for top can reach ard 200km/h or slightly more..n coz of V4 when corner it give u a better pick up.....

[sky ^^]

cbr is only half the price of pgm and rvf

[vtec88]

follow your heart!!!!!!!!

no regret later!!!
