big bike suitable for sg roads?

[baggyu]

hi bros,

just curious......do u all think sg is suitable for big bike etc. >1000cc. preferably i disagree....hardly have the chance to use five gear on a normal 60km/h road. yet to travel at this speed on a five or six gear,my bike start to vibrate.....if trottle more a bit,ganna caught for speeding......

[BlackDawn]

Its not the bike that is the problem. Its the biker.

[Jfor_Jimmy1986]

lol... u can change gear @ 3 -4k RPM...confirm can hit gear 5... speed will be somewhere 80 - 90kmh..

[farish]

it depends on the biker..no doubt it is an overkill. but the experience of riding on a big bike is different compared to smaller cc bikes.

 

If once in a while go overseas on bike would be good to "clear carbon"

To each indivisual liking..

One man's meat is another man's poison..

Anyway there r so many E's on sg. road where u can do 90 even if u do hundred TP will not stop u...

All E's link to almost every estate by short distant of normal roads.

For the power

For the Feel good

For the High

For the beauty

u give some. u take some, u can't have it all.

 

[Caramon]

how about:

 

is cars suitable on sg road? they r big and bulky and 80% of the time u see 1 driver 1 car no passenger....

 

it actually depends on how u see it man...

 

[baggyu]

haha....expressway.i have no doubt about it.still can teavel at 90...just that some of the road,etc 3lanes road not expressway yet so wide why still kept at 60km/h?road like those flyover ducts(beside vivo city,after kovan around serangoon, kaki bukit duct...and many more.... crazy man...just don't understand why?no pedrestrain lane,no double yellow line,no traffic light yet limit the speed at 70km/h.so what's the differeance when u travel 90 on a expressway and the flyover duct?

So that TP will have more places to catch us speeding.

Via ducts tend to go through populated areas; areas whereby there are pedestrian walkways and bus stops by the side. Some stretches of road like the expressway connecting AYE to ECP overlooking Fullerton also have rather low barriers, hence the lower limit of 70?

 

Limitting speed should positively limit the fallout should vehicles crash out to the sides or spin out of control off the road.

 

Whenever i ride over the stretch of "expressway" overlooking Fullerton, I always wonder when will some bike or car will spin in an accident on what is already narrower than normal lanes, hit the low barrier and...

[KeraKing]

big bikes and cars with no passangers.. yes suitable in sg

for Posing - big time.

Superbikes, suitable in sg, to faster stop at the next trafic light.

Also to help build more Shell (n frenz).

I don't think the general singapore drivers and ridders are actually travelling at the local speed limit at all times. I can ride at 80kph on our local expressway, but being overtaken by lorries and buses. I ever needed to ride at 130kph to overtake a dumper truck along AYE. Another time driving at 120kph along westcoast highway going side by side with a trailer.

 

We have a couple of ferrari, lambo, pagani on our road also, some of them never even drive out of singapore. overkill?

[299]

No doubt riding a big bike is overkill but to think of it, u can to travel anyway at out of SG ur own speed at a low cost.

[bladeboy]

big bike 1st gear over 60 km already liao it really depends lor a lot of big boys still not happy wif their speed change tis change hear liao i oso sian sia

[ghost04]

big bike 60km/h gear 6 less than 3k rpm save petrol leh...haha...but difficult to maintain 90...rider problem.

[bladeboy]

different bike the cruising speed is different got 2 get use

[Blahhh]

big bike for daily usage quite tulan lah.. against traffic jams and slow moving cars. Am getting a cub soon for daily usage, the bigger horse to play on weekends onli..

[allenkey]

riding in sg is generally city riding, scooters and cubs are specifically designed for urban traffic.

[sfowner]

IMHO riding bikes is not always about practicality. We all can do with a bit of fun in our lives... riding a big bike introduces different fun factors from riding a small bike. Both are shiok... just depends on the individual. For me, I choose big bike. Also, for me, riding a big bike is safer, as it has the power to get you out of dangerous situations better than a small bike can. Of course, before I get flamed, it depends also on the ability and willingness to control the throttle.

[FY]

To me only cl 2 bikes have the design and shape i want, and more importantly is uniquety...don't want to stop at traffic light together with 3 super four, sian....oops no offence to S4 riders, was one before also

Why ride a big cc bike even when you are not fully using all it's power?

 

1. Passion, interest.

 

Just like PC gaming enthusiast buy high-specs PC; audio-lovers spend more on their sound systems and acoustics; just like you buy a handphone with more features than you really use.

 

2. Life style

 

Bikes can be used for various reasons beside just commuting, that's it's beauty.

So happens that touring bikes tend to bigger cc; track bikes tend to be bigger cc.

 

3. Affordability

 

We are lucky in singapore. Big bikes are actually easier to afford compared to other countries like Malaysia, US.

If you are not picky to try chasing the latest models, the average annual depreciation cost of older model 600-1,000cc street and sport bikes are just slightly more than new Super4s.

 

4. Financial ability and willingness

 

You will find that most riders of the more expensive big bikes are working adults and not students. It may be well within their financial ability to support a bigger bike.

Even within a given financial situation, it is up to the individual how they want to spend their money, right? Some people can drink water and eat bread so that they can own a bike of their dream. Who is to judge?

i also want to get big bike but the costs and petrol

It's all about the freedom of choice mate. If everyone selects his/her car/bike based solely on practical reasons, then everyone will end up driving Totoya Vios and Honda Waves!

 

I would really hate to live in such a society!!
