Sorry..So scooter FC very jia lat?

 

I'm now down to KRR or RXZ..Should I get 1st hand or 2nd hand? Some of my friends advised me against gettin 1st hand..(many probs etc.)..Another advised to get 1st hand (prob free ?)..

 

Thanks..

ask yourself whether

1. you can afford the 1st hand price?

2. do you know how to check the condition of the 2nd hand bike or you know someone who can?

3. how long you will be riding before you upgrade to another bike?

Did you take that pic with a Nokia 6280?

Yan>> u can go to Bikes & Bytes than look for Bajaj Pulsar..

 

anyway Yan if u dun go for looks and jus for transport, i advice you to get a Pulsar.. really.. u will save alot in future.. with a FC 45-50km/litre..

 

big tank, full tank 18litres.

 

come to Bajaj Pulsar forum, have lotsa good bunch of guys there illing to help you and alot of them are very new..

[yan_d1no]

spec>> yup, its a digicam...

 

goof>> thx for the lead... prolly juz settling for YBR lah... good for new rider... within my budget and its not too bad on FC wise too, right..?

 

i cant bear to wait any longer in order to get a pulsar.. tak sabar, bros.....

 

i'll still be looking ard to consider, though... but top of my list is YBR... simple simple one will do...

[GoofRider]

Spec3>> amacam.. what final advice for you to our bruder Yan..

 

how much u have to pay monthly for YBR? if i where u, i rather buy a RXZ, RXK than YBR.. i dun know lah.. its a CDC bike and its now reallt that great.. but its up to you.. its cheap as u said.. but how much cheaper also.. do thinkhard okie. if u thinking of getting a 2A bike in future than any cheap bike will do but if u thinking of getting a long term 2B bike.. get a good one..and worth to top up slightly more.

[waadee]

auayh.. she takin ybr eh??... if not bajaj got lady rider in our community right brader goff?? hehehehe

[yan_d1no]

spec>> cool pics.. sempat berfoto awak yer.... hehehe. ur camera phone is great.. resolution is good...

 

waadee/goof>> u guys riding the pulsar? i wld very much love to get a pulsar.. but its beyond my budget leh... it'll definitely burn a hole in my pocket..

 

i would be upgrading to CL2A, but not so soon.. wld be taking my CL3 first before i can get approval (fr mummy) to take CL2A

 

 

(see attchment) - nice or not...? too bad cant find this locally...

[BrokenBones]

hi peeps... had your lunch yet??

he he...

 

yan>> plain colour with round headlights without ferring, looks cool

spec>> u got a nice bike

[waadee]

yup me and brader goof riding bajaj.. still unpopular still new and since bajaj comes from india.. many people are still sceptical.

 

but i guess u have to go with yr gut feeling... ride the bike u wan.. if its a ybr den go for it... cos u r the one goin to be riding it.

[yan_d1no]

spec>> hip hip hooray!!! yeah.. im gonna do just dat! btw... is dat ur bike??? lain nye..

 

i've chkd the prices over at some bikeshops... most shops quote abt the same OTR prices... (for YBR or Pulsar) the only diff is the insurance price.. hmm... but total for YBR is still about $(4.2 - 4.4)K

Pulsar on the other hand... machine price alone is abt $4.1K (on the average)

 

so now my qn is... is it advisable to get the bike w/out the insurance fr the bike shop and then source for your own insurance.... OR just take it as a 'package'?

(the diff prices of insurance varies from $80 - $150 on average) though its not much diff but can prolly use it for fuel, right..

i dunno... anyone...comments?

[stsoh]

i know tat u won't go 4 expensive bike but check it out.

ybr vs rw.

I'll prolly gettin my bike this week..Bike hunting again and if I find one that is of a giid deal..I might just snap it up..Now..If someone could tell me what to check for when trying out a 2nd hand bike it would be greatly appreciated..

 

And what I can ask the person to do w/out any separate charges?

Change EO?

Decarbonise block and muffler?

wash carb and valves?

Can change chain if the chain already stecth at max?

How to know if engine still good?

Can ask the person to show the piston?

Any other thing to ask for?

 

Thanks..

niwaes, here's a magnificent "postcard" view from wer im working..

Hong Leong quote you the price without COE. As for COE, either they bid for you after you confirmed your order with them or you bid your own.

 

Unlike Hong Leong, the normal bike shops mostly have COE ready on hand. So they quote you the price inclusive of the COE, saving you the trouble of bidding one.

hey.. may i noe wart is a burnout of tires?

[compfused]

Thanks..I've got my bike..No free paintwork..But manage to get tyres..Change the front signal lights..And the bike is considerably worth it with a 2nd party insurance..Went to about five shops..Prolly this one cheaper as it doesn't offer free paintwork..But as log as the engine is still good and get me from point A to point B..I guess I'm really happy..Thanks for the help guys..

 

Happy hunting to those who are still on the hunt..

 

Thanks..
