You should read afew pages back. Your questions have been answered afew times previously. =)

Eh guys, when you put the RW on the main stand, is the bike's rear wheel above ground? I was thinking is it possible to simulate the bike on the move by throttling and changing gear while it is on main stand.

Haha, mine is not on displayed 1. Mine is on the top 'rack'. Must use the 'bike elevator' to access it. It is blue with a box. I don't think he got introduce this bike to other buyers. Cos the 1st time I went, he didn't show it to me. He showed me all the 1st floor bike. I went back a 2nd time, he also show me the 1st floor 1. Then he ask me if I really want a roadwin, I said yes then he bought in up to 2nd floor. I getting him to change my fuel tank cover to white colour with checkers design. And the rest of the bike would be white in colour. Next time if you guys are there and see me with a white bike, feel free to say hi to me. I would love to make more biker friends.

Yup, I heard about your case. I followed this thread and saw your post. I don't really trust them also. But my plan is just get the bike from them. Servicing and inspection I intend to go to CKA HQ, I don't trust BB also. I would have gotten my roadwin at CKA HQ, but they don't have much 2nd hand roadwins at CKA HQ. So I have to get it at BB. Before I ride it, I will tow it to CKA HQ to do a check with them, make sure everything okay den I will ride it. Need to do inspection before I get my road tax after layup also. And get my relative de friend who owns a bike shop to do an inspection for me also prior to riding. I very Kia See 1. The reason why I didn't buy the bike from my relative de friend bikeshop is cos they don't have roadwin. If not I sure buy from him de. I appreciate your honest opinion. And I will be asking him to start my warranty only after I get my license. If he don't want, den I don't pay lo. His pricing isn't very cheap also.

Okay, I just got off the phone with LTA. Got a positive reply from them. Q. Can I own a bike without a license? A. Yes you can. It is perfectly legal. Q. So I can have the tow truck tow the bike to my house and have it parked there in the carpark? A. Yes you can, but you need insurance, road tax and season parking. Q. Oh, but I intend to lay up the bike until I get my license. A. If that is the case, then you can get the bike shop to do a layup for you and you don't have to pay insurance and road tax until your bike is no longer lay up. But of cos you still need your season parking of cos. Q. Can I start my bike to warm it up and charge the battery during the lay up period? I don't have a Class 2B license. A. Yes you can, as long as you don't ride it and the bike stays in the lot. Hope all this info can help other bikers like myself.

Yeah, I think so too. Which branch do you normally go to for servicing? Oh ya, I just checked from onemotoring website. It seems that my bike is due for inspection on 1st June 2010. Can I get the bike shop to send the bike for inspection for me before I collect it? Cos I think since they are going to tow it to me after overhauling it, might as well send for inspection for me first den tow it to me. My TP test date is after 1st June, so I definately cant ride it to inspection.

Dono le, it looks like a tank cover. It is plastic 1. And it seems to look like a fuel tank, without the fuel container to contain the fuel. (It is checkered design). Think you guys really need the photo to understand what I am saying. Lol. I got a feeling what I saw is a tank cover. He told me it cost about $300+, so it cant be a tank pad le, Yup, will take a photo of it when I go back to make payment for my bike. Will also take photo of my bike when I am there. He say can choose colour of the bike after i make payment.

Oh ya, update guys, I checked from One Motoring website and seems like this bike has been lay up til 01 Feb 2011. The reason why the bike is being sold, according to Alex is that cos the owner has a bone issue and thus can't ride. And there has only been 1 owner, which is a 40year old uncle.

Yup I know, the Alex got tell me also that trip meter can be replaced 1. I know about it also cos my dad owns a car repair workshop. I want to buy and park the bike until I get my license. But the thing is I want to know if it is legal. I emailed LTA, TP and Ronnie from CKA HQ liao. See what they say then update you guys again lo. Oh ya, is there something like a plastic clip-on thing for the fuel tank? Cos i saw at the branch they have this plastic thing that looks like a fuel tank cover. Alex said that it is a plastic clip on and I can have it if I want.

The Alex guy is asking me to pay the balance so he can do up the bike for me den send it to me. Abit pushy sale I feel. How come bring it to my house carpark will get me into trouble? I am not riding it ah. Just park at my house carpark with the season parking and road tax. It would be like lay up right? I dono whether can get back deposit anot. I didnt ask him. Maybe I should tell him that. I looked around for alot of 2nd hand bikes le. I really like RW only. Cos I like S4, and the only Class 2B bike that is similar to it. This bike that they are selling me, low mileage, price is within my budget, condition is really good. Thats why I want it badly. Last week I saw another RW at that branch. I like it also, I came back this week, it is sold le.

So is what the Alex guy doing even legal? Like say I can own the bike without a bike license? Cos as a driver, I know that to own a car, you must have a license. I asked 2 of my biker friends and they all said it is impossible. I am a civil servant, I don't want to caught on the wrong side of the law man. He told me that I can own the bike and put it at my house carpark even without a license. Please advise fellow rider. I am very new to bikes and I don't want to get cheated man.

Yup, I won't be getting insurance cos I got no license. So I can't get also. The thing is that is it legal to own a bike w/o insurance/road tax/license? Yup, the $100 is part of the deposit and reserving the bike. So my balance is 3.7k. ($3800-$3700). I don't think the 3.8k is including the insurance right? Is more like machine price right? Yup, botak alex. He tok like damn confusing de. I had to double-confirm with him alot of stuff lo. Can anyone help me with these questions? 1. Can I own a bike w/o insurance and license? 2. I still need to pay road tax as I am the owner even though no license right? 3. When I park it at my carpark, I can start the bike to let the engine run occasionally, as long as I don't ride it. It would be legal right? Oh, and here are some info about my bike. Coe 2016 27000km mileage license plate is fba. Quoted 3.8k. Is this a good buy? Can you guys offer me some advice on what to look out for when I buy the bike. I am very new to the bike world so hope you guess can help me out. Cka is trustworthy right?

Guys! I just paid $100 bucks deposit for my Roadwin X5. But here is the catch. I don't have my class 2B yet. Haha. The 'manager' at the kaki bukit branch, called Alex, told me it is okay to buy a bike w/o your 2b license is long as you don't ride it. So I have some doubts about my purchase. 1. Can I own a bike w/o insurance and license? 2. I still need to pay road tax as I am the owner even though no license right? 3. When I park it at my carpark, I can start the bike to let the engine run occasionally, as long as I don't ride it. It would be legal right? Oh, and here are some info about my bike. Coe 2016 27000km mileage license plate is fba. Quoted 3.8k. Can you guys offer me some advice on what to look out for when I buy the bike.

Obviously. Bigger CC of cos can outrun any

Went to the CKA branch at Kaki Bukit. I must say, I am very impressed with the lady's attitude. (I didn't catch her name but she is about middle age). When I told her that I am not buying, just looking, she told me its ok and went on to explain my every questions politely. Even explain to me what I am looking at when it comes to buying a bike. Gave me a insurance quotation etc even though she knows I haven't even book my TP date yet. I am convinced that Daelim X5 is the bike I want. Just deciding between 1st hand or 2nd hand. She quote me about 5k for a 2nd hand, 7.5k otr for a 1st hand. Ronnie quote me 2k-4k for a 2nd hand via email. Whats OTR btw guys?

Yeah, cos I dont see much Daelim Roadwin 150 on the road. So I wanna see it in real if it is what I really want.

Hey guys, do you think the guys at CKA would mind if I would to just go down to have a look at the Roadwin 150? I don't have my license yet but I intend to get the roadwin 150 once I get my 2B license.

Can I check with you guys, this bike's stock top speed is 100kph right? Cos I see that it is 125cc and it is a rather big bike. Would the acceleration feel sluggish?

@ mjbs64 hi, haha, I am 22 this year. I got my Class 3 when I was 19.

Haha, I am going for Class 4 also. Den Class 5. Ha, when I drive on the road, I am quite a fast and aggressive driver. (which is not a good thing) My bikers friends told me that the key to good and safe riding is not to let your emotions control you. Cars horn, cut into your lane abruptly or what, nvm, forgive and forget. Cos we will be at the losing end no matter what. So now when I drive, I try to change my driving style. like that when I ride the bike, I will also sub-consciously ride in a more relaxed manner.

Oh yaya, thats what I meant. Haha. Whats UG 2? Sorry ah, alot of shortform I don't understand. Haha, I going for my first pract on sat. Need to familiarise with handling a bike. Road I am not worried cos I got car license long ago. Can I check what it is for? I read already but don't quite understand.

Haha, cos I like SB4, so the pulsar's default head is quite a turn-off for me. If the Dealim Roadwin 150 can perform like the pulsar(eg. fc etc), I would definately get the Roadwin 150 instead. Thanks for the warm welcome. I am choosing between this 3 bikes. Phantom TA200 Pulsar 200 Roadwin 150. I will be using it for my uni transportation which starts in 2011. So now just started my bike lesson. First lesson on sat! Lol. But I got car license for 3 years liao. So I am not so worried about the bike pract. It is more of getting used to riding a bike. I choose these 3 bikes cos, Phantom TA200 (easy to maintain) Pulsar 200 (ridiculously good fc) Roadwin 150 (like the design) I am getting a 2nd hand btw. Ultimate aim is CB400. Regarding airbag jacket, cos I saw this youtube video of this guy testing the airbag jacket. Works like a charm man. If I wear it, my parents might feel better about me riding a bike.

Hey guys, I am thinking of getting a 2nd hand bike after I get my class 2B. I am deciding between phantom, roadwin 150 and pulsar 200. But there is 1 thing which I totally dislike about the pulsar 200. (Refer to red circle in pic) Is there any way to remove it? I like naked bikes, (eg S4), so I don't like the pulsar's 'head'. And I also realised 1 thing, how come no one here seems to be wearing airbag jacket ah? I tot it is safer, but then it is damn ex I understand.
