For tents... hmm... we solve that later once the group is confirmed. as for makan and bbq, we just go to the market around Endau and buy on the spot... Dun need to plan too many things. Just bring Cash... hehe. Once confirm going, we can sort out the logistics.

Budget very cheap. Basically all hotels I paid less than 500 baht a night. As long as the hotel has parking spaces, I'm ok. Eat at the roadside stalls, and occassional restaurant. All in, with petrol for an 11 days trip

[mamaqye]

Cool!! SMS me details later ok? Me 97681434.

hi all,

 

Wanted to get a new 08 v strom at loois motor, i am looking at 650CC de, Mr lee quote me $18500 on the road. He say vstrom diffrent from super4 spec3 cos i am now riding spec3, he say if u want simiar bike riding style u get a fazer600 but he say fazer not much different from ur spec3, u must get a vstrom . But he aslo say vstrom the way of riding is different from ur spec3.

 

so wat is the difference?

should i get fazer 600 or vstrom?

vstrom -- wat is the mileage for full tank? how many km per Litres ah????

Does 08 vstrom 650CC have temperature gauge,petrol gauge and most important Digital CLock??

vstrom use how many spark plug btw???

why super 4 got 4 header but vstrom only 1 header which means only one carburattor only meh???

 

 

finally mr. lee can tell the difference between the wee and the fazer.

 

get a vstrom or remain riding your super4.

[cstay66]

Its really a rush means wat?

 

And super 4 engine is in line 4 cylinder is it while vstrom is Vtwin engine. I still not sure wat is between this 2? anywebsite or any drawing can show me?

 

petrol consumption which is better super4spec3 or vstrom650CC.

For super4 is ard 22km per litre full tankof 18 litres.

 

And i try to test sit v strom at loois motor ,wow sit damn high loh , i am 180cm quite a tall guy and i still need to tip toe. So i can say short guy cannot take this bike le isnt it.

 

short ar** like me got to drop the bike often.

 

but the wee is built to tip. try dropping other bikes.

[cstay66]

there are a few vstrom riders who are shorter than you and belong to the featherweight category...

when it comes to riding bikes...weight doesn't matter...

it's the passion and the heart to ride the bike.....even if you are 160cm or 50kg....nothing can stop you to ride the bike...

just a matter of time until u get used to the bike...

 

like cstay mention...dropping the bike during the initial stage is normal...

with crashbar....no harm done...

try that with other type of bikes...

 

fuel consumption is about the same as super4...

some of the wee owners here are clocking close to 20-22km/l.....and with a 22litres tank and the powerful torque....ur ride will never be the same...

u feel like u are riding a monstrous scrambler...that's the characteristic of v-twin bikes...

 

so stop thinking of what bike to get....get the wee fast before it's out of stock....there's a lot of pple out there looking for it too...

Bro, Need to confirm your participation with Organisers. Appreciate if you could confirm your attendance to be allocated the slot. the Slots are filling up fast. Make Wednesday D-day, if not confirm, pay for the slot first as i think it will be easier to let go of the slot than to ask for more slots.

 

*This slot is for the bikes to be brought to Pangkor.

 

Else, as for accomodations wise etc, should not be an issue if you want to confirm later.

 

Sorry guys, I guess i have to pull out of this trip.

Sorry for any inconveniences caused if any.
