[xiaoshengz]

hi guys.. i was thinking about buying s4 but dunno wan to buy Ver R or Spec 1.. the different price between this two is huge.. got one shop uncle sell Ver R FN plate for 2.5k.. is it worth? i have seen the bike was in very horrible shape but the uncle promise to re-paint it for free to make it look new.. the Ver R and the rest of the s4 engine sound is the same smooth de right? and the Ver R pickup can make it mahz? i like good pickup de but i dont like to speed.. the most i will go is 120.. will the bike become shakey at 120?

hi, welcome to the CB400 forum... virgin post ah... :D

 

Well...

Version R is a >10yrs model and Spec 1 is

 

Main difference i guess is the new technology of Vtec which i presume you know what issit all about.

 

Regards to the performance of the bike, 120 is speeding leh...

But, if the condition of the bike is good(CB400), 120km/hr is a piece of cake...

 

lots of things to take note of when buying a S4, regardless of versions...

E.G.

---- Steering cone

---- Wheel bearing

---- Tyres

---- Charging coil

---- Clutch Plate

---- Vtec Respone (Vtec models only)

---- Engine Sound, any unusual knocking or leaking.

.

these are the few i can think of currently.

i believe there are better-information threads out there where you can refer to when buying a Used bike..

 

All the best in your selection..

thanks for the info.. and ya.. first time posting here.. hahaz.. oh and what about the pickup? do ver R pick up good? about the price of 2.5k.. is it reasonable for ver r?

[BIKER1605199362]

frankly speaking, i have never tried a Version R myself.

I am currently riding a Spec 1... pick up = for me...

 

Remember.. "It's not how fast you can go from 0km/hr-100km/hr, It's how fast you can come down from 100km/hr -0km/hr"

 

 

And 2.5k is a very hard to say figure.. If the Bike is in a tip-top condition, every wear and torn parts changed.. its worth it if you are just looking for a cheap transport...

 

try looking for Bike sales under the garage section, there are plenty of good deals waiting to be grabbed from there..... :cheers:

hahaz.. ok.. but then i wanna pay in installment de how to buy from owner? owner must pay full cash de mahz rightz.. hahaz.. so i planning to buy it from shop.. i think i will go for spec 1.. hahaz.. though ex but still managable with installment.. bike sales under garage section is straight from owner bike de right?

better nt buy too old bikes, tis kind of bike, i tink hard to get the parts alr. get a spec 1. i belive many parts are stil compatible w spec 3. im using spec 1 btw.

 

yes, buy frm owner is cash, shop can installment. wat's ur budget?

I am riding a S4 verison R, dont worry if bike condition is gd or average pick up will be quite ok one.

even if u do intend to upgrade to cl2 i tink u shldnt get a ver R as its a very old bike.. e amt of money u saved may nt b dat substantial if u gotta spend more on repairing.. wld suggest u go fer spec1 instead.. dere r quite a few spec 1 fer sale in garage sales.. u may wana tk a look..
