Bro i am 1.82m, 80kg and i ride a YBR. I can ride my YBR with no handle bars, with no handle bars, with no handlebars...

 

Anyway, pulsar has a big bike "feel" to it without it being painful to your butt pocket. Super fuel efficient. For CBR, its a small bike. My bro always says that its a girl's bike and if you're 1.82, its really small.

Hi yoz,

 

Don't rush into making decision. There are other options you may wanna look into. Like Hyosung Comet and Daelim roadwin and Aprilla RS125 and etc. Read more and choose one to your liking.

 

Cheers.

the cbr looks like honda cg125 lol... how is it? as in does it jerk like the cg? and hows the FC, maintanance etc...

 

 

hmm... looks like pulsar would be the better choice compared to the CBR150 even thou i like the sporty look better haha... thks everyone for ur help, but pls do give more suggestions... thks =D

I'm not exactly sure how much is Hyosung cos I'm riding Daelim myself. Roadwin should still cost about 7+ to 8+ k OTR.

 

You can always look for 2nd hand bike if you don't mind the little deterioration on bikes.

 

2nd hand Daelim roadwin cost about 2k and above (usually)

 

As for Hyosung, you may have to ask the relevant parties.

 

Good luck in sourcing a big 2b bike.

Bro I am also very tall, and for a tall rider I suggest a scramb, a DR200 is an economical scramb

or if you lust for power, ktm2 still alright if you do your servicing properly, since its technically still a weekend bike for your case

how much does a terra cost?

[kmjoe]

it seems like i should get a 2nd hand bike, the diffrence in price is alot... yea hw much does terra cost? i dont really lust for power tt much... yet. haha... just something i could ride to work etc with a lil coolness... i see some scrams changing thier wheels to be more "road friendly" does ther original wheels tt came with it skid ezier on normal road or do they do lose thier grip in the rain etc?

[xishuo]

Actually, after you had decided on the kind of bike to get, you may also wanna check how's the maintenance for the bike is like. Are there many spare parts for replacement should anything spoils, fuel consumption and etc.

 

=)

 

Just my 2 cents.

[kmjoe]

thks! haven really decided what to get, once i do... will check on it

[Lucky21]

I am a NSF who is riding a Bajaj Pulsar. 1.85m, weight more than 100kg.

 

So far so good. It's a good transport bike while serving NS and beyond.

[kmjoe]

cool... thks guys, seems like bajaj pulsar is the bike lol... lucky21 dont mind posting some pics of ur ride?

[xishuo]

enjoy. Ima go bed already. Sweet dreams all bikers and bikers-to-be

Mm ya, I really don't recommend the CBR 125 of 150 if you're too tall. The styling is like a sports bike, but a really downsized version. I can imagine it's gonna be really odd-looking, uncomfortable, or both.

 

Probably a scram would be a nice idea. I've always wanted to ride one but I'm too short to ride comfortably on one.

[kmjoe]

so its a scram or pulsar than for tall riders... pulsar 200dtsi is 200cc i suppose? hw much better is it compared to the previous model and their price difference? btw is this really a pulsar too? http://tekekmeong.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/bajaj-pulsar-200-dts-i-tt.jpg http://tekekmeong.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/bajaj-pulsar-200dtsi-fightermoto-black.jpg seems like bajaj bikes do look pretty cool... lol

Get a Varadero 125.

[yctradingsg]

aprilia!!!! get the rs125 or the motard.

either that or you can consider getting a gilera runner

[xishuo]

wow nice pulsar.... never knew a pulsar can be pimped till this extend... niceeeeeeee...

[foreveraz]

I am also 1.82m tall. Currently riding a phantom. Quite ez to maintain, coz nth much need to do. Cost is v affordable as well.

buy 2nd hand + insurance + road tax + some changing of common wear and tear parts less than 2k.

 

Fuel consumption wise is still ok, ard 33km/l. Basically i spend around $40 per week on petrol.

 

In short, you can consider phantom. ha!

[kmjoe]

wa? $40 a week? hmm... dont really like phantom, very uncle lol

[foreveraz]

sry. ha. i mean a month. honest mistake!

[kmjoe]

lol... ok a week is like too much... any more suggestion n pic of bike for tall guys~?
