V-Strom (650cc & 1000cc)

[mighty_mouse]

1. Conti TA

No where to be found in SG. Kin Tai does not have stock. Can only order from webby if u want.

 

2. EXP

Lasted me only 16K+ km on my rear tyre. Front can still go on. Note that my bike is slightly heavier than urs (if u r riding a Vee). Weight of the bike will be a factor. EXP cost $400 at Unique if im not wrong. A very good tyre i would say.

MC, perhaps you can(could) have been less critical against the brand and model of the bike which is as capable as any others in its class...

Pls give him a chance. He is not even able to state specifically which of the F800 series.

 

Does he even know that F800 has 4 different series?

Anakee? Very high? U gotta be kidding. Or u r reading from an unreliable source.

:angel::angel:this is the picture that make me lMAO FOC (laugh my a55 off fall out chair):angel:

 

I really love this pic alot so much so i set it as wall paper on my comp....

 

 

the german had design a wonderful machine but had to screwed it up by giving a tube tires other than that the F800 GS is actually a wonderful ride:cheeky:

after going for the trip with the f800gs....i would really love to own one...

 

it beats the Vee hands down offroad of course and in the highway it is actually quite on par with the Vee...

Vee only starts to pull off above 190km/h on it's speedo...

 

Minus points on the tube tyres, the seat and the relatively small 17+ litre tank....it's a good all-rounder...the bike feels lighter than the vee and even wee...easy to manourve around....

The wear should be better than Metzeler Tourance EXP & Pirelli Scorpion (my opinion).

 

But the price for Anakee 2 is abit expensive = $445.00 (from Unique Motorsports)
