Aprilia Riders

[cheng_xi07]

hei... since u r so afraid of maintence don buy aprilia.. seriously... every litre of petrol rs125 and sp difference is ard 6-8 km... and 2t consumption also much higher and i believe muz use better quality one (cos its better den ur parts failing).. parts is definately much much more ex den sp... and servicing, there is only ard few bike shop in sg who does gd aprilia servicing but sp all bike shop knows how la.. servicing cost higher too... in general, for every mth maintaining an aprilia and and sp the difference in cost is between 120-200.. the tyre also much more ex.. cos aprilia is 110/150.. sp i know the rear is 110 or 120.. so the front wheel of aprilia is the rear wheel or sp and the rear wheel of sp is the same as those 2A bike... this is from my experience comparing wif a fren who rode an sp.... so........... i hope its detail enough for u? correct mi if i am wrong... yarh

go ride an SP, den ride an Aprilia

 

den decide for yourself

[darren327]

go ride an SP, den ride an Aprilia, den take the train and ogle at cute girls wearing close to nothing

 

den decide for yourself

[Guest CykeArtemis]

wah.....

liddat also can.......

ride Aprilia also can ogle at cute girls... but must risk riding up to the pavement or someone's tail....

honestly ah, u like the bike means u like the bike...

after which, it's just about finding means to pay for it...

u take care of it, and it'll take care of ur pocket... as long as ur parts dun spoil, dun need to replace, den servicing is just slightly more ex den SP?

lastly also...

i agree...

ride SP den ride aprilia, den decide lor...

as long your mileage / litre is around 18 - 20 it should be okay
