[Ayatollah]

I called Hong Leong the other day. They said this month if not next month. Reason being, festive season. Then I said some of us had been waiting since Sep. They said, oh that one because factory delay production. Dunno wth is happenning. Either Hong Leong cock up or Yamaha India cock up. Hmmmm.....

yes. an increase in size means an increase in surface contact with the roads. more friction, more strength needed to push it to move. top speed, pick up, and fc being affected is normal and expected.

anyone interested in buying R15 black color with bridgestone tires.. 1 year old. 21k mileage. http://www.olx.com.sg/item_page.php?Id=132513375&g=6 or email me via that link. Thanks.

Kiji: yes it gives better cornering cos of more surface area on the ground, which means got more rubber to grip and give friction. Hence cornering is improved.

Can try the cmo section. Koso minors can fit. Rabbit would know how to do it. His number is 9871 1153, he got sell

[whitefang]

heard koso's plastic ones will have vibrations. get the metal ones.

[pandagon]

[mr grumpy]

Update: I got a call from Bike Production earlier this week asking me if I can take the red bike instead of the yellow. Judging from the sharp-eyed observations from you guys up there, it looks like the earliest batch to come in will be the red bikes. Either colour's fine with me, since I already wait so long liao, so I told the woman yes it's fine. And then she laughed, saying "You wait so long liao, any colour also ok ah?" -_-;

 

 

But seriously, how can the shops and distributors not know why the shipment's being delayed. They don't feel harassed at all by customers who can't get their bikes meh?? (If that's the case, we buyers must really bug the hell out of them and force them to put the pressure on the factories too). Although I must say new design features will be a damn good reason for delaying the shipment from the factory! If anyone gets their order early or soon can confirm?

[kiji]

Psy: what new features are u referring to?

[refused]

Was thinking of changing air filter. U guys knw which brand is available for r15? Where to get them?

actually $6500 OTR is the launch price last year. now the COE is a bit high, i think OTR price should be at least $7k excluding insurance..
