Singapore rides

[shunoski]

Yup. But come to think of it, how much power will 2B ever be? Top end may reach way past 100kmph for some bikes, but at risk of stability.

 

Just want a heavier bike with a tank between my legs and gears to kick for now. 9 months later, I'll surely go for 2A and upgrade my ride once more, and then CL2.. hehehe.

[thenation]

You should have gotten a TA150 if you need a heavier transport bike with gears to kick haha. Is your YBR brand new? You'll lose alot come upgrading time...

[scubasimon]

actually...you can get quite a lot of power lor...now i know

my TA150 still stable even at speeds of 120kmh. only handlebar can feel more vibrations nia...but still very stable.

Nope, 2nd hand, it's pretty cheap. Can even hold on when I get CL2A onwards. Only my Hayate was new. I didn't chose phantoms because of the posture. I prefer a street bike posture. Tried my dad's TA200 yesterday, convinced myself that it isn't for me.

ya.... your Italian wheels... but I want to keep my upkeep costs low for now as I'm driving as well.

[scubasimon]

oh...i see well...ybr i did think of getting also when i was shopping for my first one...but decided to get tw200 instead. i love that low end torque!

YBR is a good commuter bike. If its riding in singapore routes, then no problems.

Tonite whoever is following, im going to try their bikes!!!

....trying to find out how fast your bike can go???

other than stability....you might "blow" your engine...seen lots of 2B bikes going through engine overhaul.... and it is not cheap....

 

scubasimon...nice pictures...keep them coming....:thumb:

[coolthought]

you guys might know that there is a yearly canon photomarathon. The next one will be this coming 10 Oct.

 

I have been through it once years ago. Basically, all participant will gather in a place and will be given assignment(themes), think of what you want to take and go to a place where you can take the photo best suited to the assignment(theme), take the photo and you will have to return back to the same place to upload your photo within a stipulated timing. After which, you will be given the next assignment. Probably, there will be 3 assignments. It will be a whole day and evening event....

 

With your bikes, it will be perfect to go places to take photos.

 

Think you will be up to the challenged?

 

PS. I am looking for kakis...

Just a friendly reminder, in case you don't know, riding without an insurance will get both of you and the owner licenses revoke including any other land transport licenses (plus fine).

You don't know me, hence you think I'm another mat rempit. I'm just a military personnel, engineer by vocation, looking for a stable bike to take me through expressway with lesser swaying than my previous ride.

 

I drive a 130bhp car for 6 years now, I've out-grown the speed age years ago, I find it comfortable to keep to 2nd lane all the time nowadays. 2B is just a transport. No point doing motogp in SG street, there's no trophies, prize money, all you get are summons, repair bills, loss of life or worse, causing others to die.

[coolthought]

PSI 55. Air pollutant now is in the moderate range.... not good for people with asthma...

 

BUT...will make for great sunrise or sunset photo as the sun will be of a deep orange red.....

I like the NatGeo boutique at Vivocity. I like the wall where they display myriads of pics of diff ppl going about their daily adventures!!!!

yep, I got my car pretty early, at 21 yo, so driving much of time since I got my licence in 2002. Just find that driving a car nowadays, you spend more time not moving, then actually cruising.

 

I like dual purpose, indonchina trips need those as there are parts without a paved road. So I'm eyeing an all-rounder Fazer. What're you riding now btw?

 

I'm a member of that advrider forum too, same nick. I envy them, they can go on super long trips, yet they're in the convenience of their own country.
