[venomikko]

hi. i'm a 19 yr old p plate looking for any type of 2B bike. but isit possible that 300 settles insurance road tax n coe all?

[apersaja]

i think u post in the wrong section la bro..hehe...but to tell u the truth...$300 is too little....i dun even think it can cover ur insurance and mostly bike shop would want u to pay for ur insurance first..then the bike installment...the minimum i heard is $500....hope this would help.....cheers!

[PeRiLoUs]

and also,if sumhow yr able to down dat amt, yr montly installmets may kill.

 

=).

[hachi]

If you are over 31 maybe......If you are just young chap i suggest you save up now....No point this month buy bike next month tow back.....

dun try.

COI also no chance.

insurance alone is already a killer for your age and "Green" category.

Dun kan chiong.

i understand how u feel. was young before:(

i got my license at 16yr old.......so many years back when LC, RXZ, TZR, RGT rules the world

that time, ins still got anyrider scheme for ins so max 300 plus for class2B, 400plus for class 2A

now........

ai zai save slowly then buy.

hurry hurry buy later end up with a cheap bike but every month tow workshop 1-2 time. $, time wasted for nothing

[jiaju]

bro, save up first, no point buy bike end up having hard time servicing the bike...

Hmmm it is possible actually to get a bike with $300 as downpayment. I remember my first bike I paid $300 downpayment with one guarantor. But it was a 2nd hand bike. If you want you can try to survey at Ubi a shop name Dexing Motor. I think they still take in $300 downpayment however u need to have a guarantor. BUT like the others say don't rush in buying your first bike. Do a survey and seek advise from your rider friends. Good luck in your search for your first bike.

i asked before at de xing, heard they need 2 or 3 guarantor if you downpay small amount of cash.

yep dont gan chiong, most will go for sport bike for sure...i opt for RXZ during my first Passed in class 2B and that's the most recommand bike....

with that $300 u can go for RXZ if you want (Insurance wise will be slightly cheaper .....)

 

other recommandation:

Wash carberator :$5

Engine Oil : 1 bottle $24 (most ex MAXIMA4 full syn runs 10kkm)

Spark Plug : $12 (Most ex due to Anti heat)

2T: $12 (Most Ex)

Chain: $120 (o-ring Type, can use for 3 yrs if maint)

Overhaul: $300+ - $400 the most

exclude change tire...

impossible

 

your insurance at least 400 bucks alraedy

[Nescafe]

Don't make your life harder. Save that money.

[BlackDawn]

$300 upfront is all you have? You can't afford a bike comfortably. Period.

[vondy]

bro, dun so gan chiong to buy a bike with low down payment.. think of 6mths - 1year down the line.. whether u still can afford the heavy installment or not?

 

if yes, then go for it..

 

Just dun make life miserable for urself.. bikes bring both happiness and misery to our lives..

[heyjezza]

wake up ur idea. u will not be able to afford comfortably.

 

if u're not working, and all u managed to save was $300, u cannot comfortably afford a bike.

if u're working, and all u managed to save was $300, all the more u cannot comfortably afford a bike.

 

let's talk abt non-capital costs:-

minimum >> 3rd party insurance, xfer fees, road tax (+inspection) = $600-$1k

variable >> petrol, parking, summons = depends on bike/usage

very very very variable >> maintenance = u heng, bike np, $50 basic service (chg e.o., filters, sparks), but if u sway, and must overhaul or simi sai then gg at least a few hundred dollars otherwise u can let ur bike rot (dun forget while it's rotting, must pay parking hor)

 

capital cost >> i've seen some shops where they allow $0 down, but think u must have proof of stable income + number of guarantors. also got age requirement i think. i'm guessing for $300 down, the most u can get is a bike that costs $2-3k. but 7% interest is damn high lo. why dig urself into further financial woes?

save more bro.

[gilbert85]

this is a forum..

 

its meant to help pple...

 

from the wat the ts speaks can know he got not much exp in bikes...

 

then u all like that scold him..

 

giving advice is good but calling him noob, wait long long and stuff is really not v nice..

 

everyone is diff.. unlike most pple he may not have any frens that ride...

 

if got i dun think he will as tis question...

 

anyway my advice is buy 2b bike the best is one short clear all... take coi not worth it..

 

2b bike say sp renew coe 2k can get..

 

u one month save 300 can get in ard 8 months time..

 

after that all u need to do is servicing and parking.. more relaxed no need every beginning of the month headache...

 

but as u progress up the classes and the bikes are so ex then no choice have to coi liao..
