Not sure the reason you are looking for a sports bike, but if it is for aesthetic purposes, you could try other bikes. 2b sportsbike esp SP are quite old, and note most of them (KR/SP/TZM) are 2 storkes, and chances are piston jams can be high w/o proper maintenance. Talking about maintenance, these sportsbikes are also costly in fuel consumption and maintencance.

 

A pink X1 will look shockingly cute, if you're looking for something cute. If not, i'll advise you again when I know the reason for choosing a sportsbike =)

can take a look at mito n aprilia...

[adesmond2]

can take a look at mito n aprilia...

 

mito and aprilia is the higher cost in 2B bikes in terms of 1st payment and parts wise.. I'll still recommend KR or SP IF compare with these 2...

[ben1112]

One thing for sure, shop, ur father friend or ur uncle or ur neightbour, also will kena chop.. The cost can be hidden one. Like count u cheap cheap, den later say must pay for IU cost IU spoilt or wadever.. Then later ur dad ask why like that? His friend tell him is like that one, this is the norm. Then u also LL...

 

Car and bike opposite, bike 2nd hand bike, die die cannot go shop. Unless u die die wanna kenna carrot. But it seems many ppl die die like to kena carrot, thats y bike shops still around..

[adesmond2]

haha... true... but some bike shop is honest... Like mine.. I'm still pretty heng.. But of cuz.. kanna chop on SOME things.. Fuel tank rusty den said full servicing just done but when I full service, that mech say, "see here?" lolx..

super ex for a x1r, tat price i buy new KR liao

 

 

hmm i believe its around there, the machine price is 4k+, coe the other time i saw was 1.4k, insurance 3rd party + FT for new bike, p plate confirm more than 1k

[SparkerS1]

for sportsbike, choose n consider cbr150, low maintenance, 4 stroke, smooth acceleration n smooth ride, stable, not so much vibration like 2 stroke, clean exhaust smoke, gd FC, wat else u can ask for;)

[ben2306]

if you are able to get a ft, fu plate sp for less than 2k. good luck to you.

what i tkin is , maybe there's hidden problem, thats why its cheap. a scratched, slightly damaged, chiong piston still can be used... ...

[Jocechua]

btw im thinking to get a cbr150..wat do u guys think..isit cheap..how bout the price difference between first hand n second

Hmm Jocechua,

 

A few things to take note buying 2nd hand there's a risk that the bike is not in good condition especially if you buy from private owner.

 

Buying brand new bike of course it will be more expensive but however you can be sure that the bike will be in tip top condition and there will not much problems regarding it.

 

It all depends on how much budget you have in mind and whether will you be using the bike for long term. If you are just using for a short while den 2nd hand bike will be a better choice.

 

Recently, I just bought a brand new DRZ from Heng Motor at toh guan branch. The price is reasonable and their service is good. If you got the time, you can make a trip down to their shop.

 

Hope this helps you.

ps joce tompang ur thread..

 

i oso same problem as u sia... ride sp the feet bharely touch the ground..

tats y considering kr.. lower and light.. best for ladyrider..

[xfangx]

btw i just pass my tp last week. ytd go see a sp. fr plate. 1.4k

dun have angel eye.. very lil details.

den i very noob dunno wat to ask. all my dad ask.

 

any advice? thx

[SparkerS1]

if ur dad experienced, he will check everything for u.

[xfangx]

my dad ask 1 qns. "coe till when. "

seller "june 2010"

den he "not worth it, dun wan" ..... den he sae dun even need to test bike le cos coe so fast

[SparkerS1]

but COE really ending soon, less than 2yrs, but bo bian, wat to do, tats y plan first before getting anything

[sh10]

KR, cheap parts stock pipe sounds nicer than SP... (Frog sounds) U know like crazy FROG?

Headlight wise, KR look much nicer without the two bulb of SP.

Stock, KR wins.

Tail, KR tail lights u can change it, RXZ,Spark135,X1,SparkZ

FZ is still possible. There's even FBA.

Parts are cheaper for KR.

 

Don't know why but KAWA big bike isn't.

 

So choose KR. Not Sp. Need a more problematic one? Choose TZM. Condemn ones ? Aprillia Extrema/Mito blah blah... RS125? don't. U can get a big bike at those price.

[arider]

hmmm actually for me, im riding an sp now. last time exact same prob as u.lol.

sp and kips on the general are the same, basically its more on the riding preferance to see which 1 u suit more. on the other hand, sp is easier to maintain. SP parts are EVERYWHERE! moreover things are slightly cheaper then those of kips'.

BUT kips is more stable, less vibration, (and its seats are lower then SP). of course its also newer.

 

oh i think i have made it more diff to choose, its really a tough choice. see if u chance upon any good deals with good engine and stuff just grab it, be decisive, JOIN THE RIDING FORCE!

 

anway im also upgrading to 2A lo, deciding wad to buy lol. GSXR400RR!!!!
