[nedomar]

Please comment on these bikes:

 

1) Intruder

 

2) Phantom

 

3) Eliminator

 

4) Dragstar.

 

I am planning to get a 2nd hand bike. Which would be a good deal in terms of fuel consumption, maintenance, parts replacements etc etc? I thank you for views in advance.

[feiray]

wat class r u riding?

[nedomar]

just got my 2B license.

[tempest]

No magma? Hehe...cheap and effective bike but you lose your pants when you try to sell it later on.

[Ah_Roy81]

well..if u dun mind a very common bike that can be seen everywhere on the roads..get a phantom

 

u can't go wrong wif it..there's a reason y there r so many phantoms on the road

 

phantom is a good bike to ride arnd tis small island and considering tat u like cruisers...i assume u wun need the speed cuz phantom cannot go fast

 

juz my 2 cents

[nedomar]

Ah yes. so that's the 1 i was trying to recall in my list. daelim magma...yeah, heard that certain bikes r quite tough to sell off if you don't see much of them on the road.

Actually, it can reach 115-120km/h, no problem. Its already feels damn fast, scary man. Don't want to go so fast also, very dangerous.

There is daystar too better version than magma from daelim.

Just curious, does the Daystar consume more petrol?

which "party" for insurance and from which company?

what accessories do they include?

is erp and erp's bracket included?

is road tax included

is gst included?

 

if everything is included,

$5,100( total amount) - $700 (dp) = $4,400

lets say u take a 3 year installment plan = 4% x 3 years = 12%

12% of 4,400 = $528 (interest)

$528 (interest) + $5,100 (total amount) = $5628 (end price u have to pay)

 

if i miss out smth, do correct me

just my 2 cents worth

not that i know of, from my exprience, half a tank can take u roughly 4 times jurong to changi thru express way...

should be ard 400km without the reserve but i tried the top speed is 120km without ending into the RPM redzone yet...size wise the bike is much bigger than phantom.

[Zeyar]

go for phantom... plenty of better reasons than other ones in your list.

 

suggest go for a secondhand one... u'll get with cheap price, which u may be selling later IF you buy a first hand now.

Hi Guys,

 

I am researching on class2B cruisers too. Got any websites with pics of the Daystar, Phantom and Shadow 125? Very very hard to find pics man ..

Hi Guys,

i did quite alot of research before, but forgot now.

try thai motor or something similar sites for phantom, and on singapore forum sites for discussions.

 

same for daelim, search in singapore sites, not much pics though. anyway look for the specs.. pics no use... u can see plenty of the physical bikes here.

 

but i am sure you will regret if u buy daelim, especially daystar... it looks big but you will feel very fake of yourself with low power bike. its only 125cc u know. i'll forward u all specs and pics if i can find them on my archive.

 

Daystar ==> fake to Dragstar classic, low power

Magma ==> fake to Magna, low power, style not bad

Shadow 125 ==> ugly, good quality

Virago 125 ==> not bad, good quality

Phantom 150 ==> i dun think two stroke engine(from NSR) is fit to cruiser style

Phantom 200 ==> nice design, easy n cheap maintainance, quality not so bad though easy to rust, good price

CM125 ==> old style, good quality

Rebel 125 ==> nice style though too small, good quality

Others ==> dunno. hee hee... check yourself

 

there's one bike with v twin, and look quite fierce, i dunno what brand seems nice. check it out. i think its one of the korean or taiwaniese one.

(ps. no hard feeling to those who riding daelims)

u forgot to mention Phantom 150 come with a radiator which 200 dun have

v twin engine is hyosung aquila a korea bike

as least daelim save on fuel very economical compare to others and not to mention the design is nice and big plus large fuel tank so can travel very far and long then top up.

of course phantom bike have a better resale value too.

[Guest TheSquid]

erm... but Dalim parts are not as easily available on the market as Honda parts?

do correct me if i am wrong since i've always had this mentality.

regards..

[nights]

yup the original parts are only available at sole agent and some shops only which make it very rare, however one good point about it is because it is a co-operate design between honda and korea daelim, any missing or spoil parts just get the honda ones to replace will do.

[jerryGSR]

get phantom 150

two shoke engine r the best 4 small cc bike.......

lower maintaince plus more power than 4 shoke small cc engine.....

ta150 has a higher maintanence cost when compared to ta200

but yes, the performance like pick up and top end is better.

but i dun think 2 stoke bikes are recommended to be cruising at top speed?

thats 1 thing i believe a ta200 wins in.

might be a mistake by me though
