Yamaha YBR125

Suzuki EN125

Not just these three, there are several more class 2B road bikes, like the Bajaj Pulsar and the Hyosung Comet.

 

btw guys, how do u make comparison...? cost? performance? realiability? im getting so confused... :confused:

Personally, I used cost (cheaper is better) and looks (subjective). Performance.. what performance? And reliability, I think they are all reliable.

 

There's a big difference between buying new and second hand. For new, you have to ask if it's worth it -- are you going to ride it for many years? Or are you going to trade in after class 2A?

hey, nhyone... thx for your reply

 

hmm.... ive seen the pulsar, not really into it (the advert says that its "definitely male" hehehe)... n my classmate's Hyosung Comet is giving her problems...and now she facing problems selling it off coz it has a low resale value..

 

so, lets juz keep to the list... :D hehehehe

 

 

Personally, I used cost (cheaper is better) and looks (subjective). Performance.. what performance? And reliability, I think they are all reliable.

i'd prolly compare the price as well,... coz all three in my list are 4stroke bikes.. and share similar specs... maybe slight diff here n there only.. :)

In my opinion,its safer to have something known for reliabilty than something new or just testing the market here. Not necesary cheap is good..but other factors like spare parts(cud be expensive,wait longer due to the age of the bike to stabilise in S'pore are relatively minimum). But not all reliable brand are good also,as in my case of accident happened to my vara125. Although its Honda & the bike has been around for near 3years,Boon Siew never bring parts in. It had to be ordered and $480 per piece for side fairings..my goodness,its a real chopper.

 

Era, if u invest in scoot,not a bad idea as parts or maintenance are still within budget. Dino 125 on 4stroke mite not have enough "power" but what to do? for commuting purpose it will do you fine and keep urself away from unecesary road race by the 2T's (u sure noe how tey behave) no offend to u guys who are on it ride well & safe!

hmmm.... *think*think*

 

so which is more realiable? honda or yamaha? (i decided to drop the suzuki outta my list) YBR is relatively new in the market, rite? so...

 

well.. guess i gotta survey the shops n see wat they have to say about these two 125s..

 

thx..spec3FBA :D

Hi all, I'm a new rider getting a bike. Looked through the forum, decided that I want a bike with clutch control but not a phamton and not too heavy with relax riding posture. Identified Yamaha X1, Daelim VS 125 which meets the criteria. Wonder if anyone has any comments. Also looked at the autoclutch bikes like wave and spark ut currently still very confused over what to get. Any advise??

 

Btw, any daelim riders out there that would like to share their opinions about Daelim bikes, not often seen in the forum. Thanks!!

why not consider daelim VJ125 aka Roadwin?

new model named 'X5', actual engine capacity is 140cc.

honda quatity, size of honda S4 aka baby S4.

great looking bike.

 

pro:

large plastic tank - 16 litres n rust free.

450+km travel per tank.

17" tyres - better handling/larger patch contact on road.

disc brakes front n rear.

 

con:

small engine - lack power.

engine vibrate @ 4~5k rpm.

max speed 110kph@10,000 rpm.

1st hand bike is expensive - $7k+.

stock setup is lean.

 

potentially ride can be improve n did improved with minor adjustments/mods.

tight budget then the best bike u need will be wave.

u probably save $$$ if u get wave n the best option for despatch job.

roadwin is the cream, vara125 is the cheese cake.

becos vara125 r manufactured in europe (italy) cost r high, spare parts r also costly.

 

phantom manufactured in thailand, cost r very much cheaper, same goes for bajaj made-in-india.

 

daelim roadwin manufactured in korea, there4 expensive but still is cheaper than made-in-japan.

 

daelim also manufacture honda parts, whereas hyosung make parts for suzuki.

 

in other words, japan lower their cost by using korea as their cheaper manufacturing sources.

Yah,expensive cheesecake. But so much on that. My experience is dat,the bikeshop choppers is additionally sharp when varadero 125 breakdown.

The rectifier alone costing me at $138.00+ $50 for battery..rear tyres are comparable to S4's. $480.00 for each side plastic fairings.. Panadol time.

At that time it was quite rare,u will see few on the road but now its like S4 all over the shop. Hope this time round the parts are cheaper for the existing riders of Vara125[/b]

 

OEM Rectifier for Vara125 is from Ducati. Cost around $300++. Honda rectifier could get below $200. Battery is standard like other bikes. Tyres are comparable with other adventure bikes. The only problem is the size. Plastic fairings on one side cost me $400. Ebay are selling them at much cheaper price. There are also other websites that sell the fairings but plus shipment is about $300++.

The parts now are easily available. A lot of accessories that you can add on this bike.
