Getting a transport bike, and keeping the 750k1 for track use?? Cannot tahan the fuel price liow issit??

 

I suggest get wave over skipper, price has drop tremendously to $1600 for fw plate, somemore its 4 stroke. Cheap maintenance, and spares and better fuel mileage. One thing I dun like about wave is, it look like a uncle's bike. No offence to wave rider.

Actually the fuel price is okie, cause i everyday off work shoot to 2nd link and blast. But i'm abit tired of the lifestyle. Want to change to a simple and cheap bike with box. Haha, i miss riding skipper. Thats my 1st bike when i got my license.

 

Dont really like wave, maybe most of da wave on road gave me a bad impression of them. Since i can beat them, why join them? LOL. j.k

 

Might be choosing skipper or x9/sgm200. Gary, hows da fuel consumption for 125cc/180/200/250cc? Which care to provide some info?

 

Thanks!!

I still duno abt the fuel consumption, because my auxilliary tank leak during the first 2 top up. I just top up the third tank a few days ago.

 

Actually if you have budget can choose to go for honda foresight or forza 250, the maintenance is cheaper than italian scoot.

25km/L is quite decent

I heard the octane of fuel will drop when you leave your bike resting maybe for weeks...

anyone can verify?

rae07: Paisei, bad memory, it was almost 5 yrs ago and i rode it for 3 months only. I just rem got 1 big lobang below my seat, but i cant stuff my helmet in. Maybe bcoz of raincoat and etc... For fuel, my milegae gauge wasnt working, i just rem i always pour 2T to refill. Very 2T thirsty.

 

 

SK II: thanks man... oh. top speed? a friendly 100km/hr right?

[S750WP]

Typhoon 125 fuel tank capacity I think only 5L (including reserve) can anyone confirm??

 

The fuel indicator came on at 1/4 mark, from there pump to full is 3.5L.

 

I can;t stuff in my full face L size flip up helmet in the underseat compartment. The givi box is also too small to fit in, had to place it at an odd angle in order to close the box.

the full tank for skipper is 8L as i have top up to 7.9 plus before...

 

but are u talking abt typhoon??

 

Skipper sure can put a nova helmet into the seat below as thats what i am doing now...

 

top speed is 110km/hr to 120km/hr... downslope with full throttle...

 

100km/hr is too stress but for a min 100km/hr is ok... mi always do 99km/hr to be safe... as long dun hit 100km.hr can liao...

 

for the arguement between SK 1 or SK 2... it has been awhile and have confirm that he is a rejected piece from SK II.

 

skipper member is down by one again today ... 11/04/06

 

[marvypower]

ya.. Skipper fuel cap should be abt 8.1-8.2l.

can go up to 200+ km.

can try lah.. since skipper quite light to push.. haha

brembo brake calipers I think too big already.
