Get a cheap second hand bike..Get to know more about bikes with this bike..Maintenance..Handling..Then when you think you're ready for a new bike sell this then get a new bike..That way you will know how to handle and take care of a bike the correct way..Just my opinion..

hmmm... i read smwer in this forum that if i were to get a loan from bike shop... the interest is higher for a 2nd hand bike.... hence after much calculation... i'll end up paying more... or smthg like dat....

 

i dun have hard cold cash (or soft warm cash)... prolly COI.. can consider...

 

haiya see how lor... for now... take long train rides... looking at the bright side of taking public transportation.. can sleep throughout the journey... if you happen to miss your stop,... can continue to sleep longer wait for it to U-turn back.... ahahahahah... neverending journey!!

COI is the same as buying from shop also..Coz you carry on paying the instalments the person owe the shop..

yah... but if get a 2nd hand bike n COI wonder if the higher interest rate applies?? or do i just COI and den just "transfer of ownership"...

You want to buy from pte buyer and COI and also transfer the ownership? From what I know (no experience) that if the bike is still under instalments you've gotta pay an upfront instalment of 3mths (or so) and then you pay ownership transfer of the bike as well..So either way same as getting a 2nd hand bike under instalments in my point of view..And some more sure you'd have to pay the pte seller a certain amount before he wanna transfer ownership to you right? Unless of course the person is your bestest friend..But I dunno..Up to you to decide..We (I) can just give you information based on what I know..Maybe experienced riders out there can make it clearer? Help this girl out..

Yes it is..And I've learnt alot about it maintenance and handling wise..Still have a lot more to learn tho..Overall think its a good bike..For me that is..What's good for me doesn't mean its good for someone else..

true..u cant simply listen 2 wat othas gotta say...do some of ur researched as well..

Well another way is to look at the value of the bike in terms of $.... How well the bikes able to stretch the $ to ever increasing cost of living in the LONG RUN

 

Remember its not just abt buying the bike but also maintaining it

[yan_d1no]

alrite....! i'll do more research on my part... and kudos, bros!!

 

m signing out for now... will update you guys wen i get my ride..... wont be so soon tho... heheheh

Ahhh... i see. typical opinion of CDC riders. Hence, they dont like YBR. Sad for them though

[cutegigi]

me also from CDC. But i like ybr. good handling....

and already lots and lots of practice hour for those taking 2B at CDC. already tried plank, slalom, figure 8, e-brake,etc for countless time.

can not say the same for my current ride. not even sure can do figure 8 as nicely =P
