Which Motorbike to buy for Class 2B License holder

[turtle3110]

Hi all! I'll be getting a Class 2B MotorCycle license soon and intend to buy a motorbike for transport this year. If can get a 2nd hand one which is in good condition, I'll save on the COE money! Hopefully I could get a bike which maintainence is not so "chor" (expensive )What kind of bike do u guys recommand?

 

[j1605198987]

get a kup lor... low fuel consumption... low maintenance..

[meruuu]

maybe u wanna indicate what kinda bike u like... sportsbikes cruisers or kup or scramblers or ... etc etc.. lol..

[turtle3110]

hmm.. basically i like sport bikes a lot.. i have a few in mind but dont know which one to choose... nsr sp, tzr or cbr 150. among these 3 bikes, which one is better and lets say if i'm big size which bike suits me better?... so much things to think about when buying a bike.... I hope the bike i'm goin to choose wont gimme much problem.....

[Dixion]

if u say transport get kups. if u wan sports bike which is cheaper maybe u could try kips or sp

[RollinMao]

i vote for cbr150.

[compfused]

This won't be much of help but ask yourself this question..What do you want? Low fuel consumption or power/speed? If you're able to answer that then you will know what bike you really want..

well in sg having too powerful speed also no use.. cannot speed and too many traffic.. well how abt both?(jus jokin) haha... i think i go for low fuel comsumption.. so which should i take?

'Sportsbike' with low fuel consumption must be the Honda CBR150 lah. But it's not a sportsbike in the true sense of the word lah. It's more of a 4-stroke commuter bike with the body of a sportsbike. Hence, the lower fuel consumption than 2-stroke 2B sportsbike. Nonetheless, it still has better pick-up and top speed than most 4-stroke 2B bikes out there.

 

1 thing tho! It's super-slim, so u and the CBR150 may not look like a nice match.

How big can a girl get? I'm assuming ur a girl cos there's a female sign next to ur name.

 

CBR is slim.. but if ur big, it'd definitely look better on u than a cub.

 

The bajaj pulsar is another option. Heard raving reviews abt it. But it's not a sportbike.

 

I'd vote for the CBR150! :thumb:

very big.. i m 1.72 tall and i'm kinda chubby. tall n chubby..heh.. well still considering wat to buy.. it is such a headache to buy a bike. so many things need to consider..... my fren ask me to buy tzr... how i wish i win 4D and buy every type of bike in the market..haha

[RollinMao]

it all comes down to planning ba. everything we do, we start small. den slowly we build it bigger... if we just start from big, we will not appreciate the results. ever since i start riding, i have planned what bike i wanna get. and i'm still following it...

[archenemy]

hmmm...what has choosing a bike got to do with schools?

 

maybe you can post it in "Bikes & Bytes". you will have more response.

[shiroibai]

just get a VXR200 and enjoy it.

[PinKcHicK]

but gilera so common among girls, i see liao also sianx

 

dat dae i saw a cool female TP with gilera.. with googles and long hair to almost-waist-tied-up.

 

at first i thot cool, cos she was swerving here and there.

after tat, i juz find it looks boring.

You do know its a very old bike right? Or did your friend meant TZM? If want to look sporty but low fuel consumption..I'd say CBR150..

Of course cheaper lah. 4-stroke vs 2-stroke mah.

Guess you can get a new CBR150. Good pertol consumption, pretty good pickup for a 4stroke 2B bike and sporty looking.
