there are not many choices in this category. these are the common ones

 

aprilia rs125/cagiva mito if you have a good budget, 2 stroke, insurance and parts killer. maintainence more complicated than 4 strokers. new about 12 k, 2nd hand can get about 2-3k plus left maybe about 2-4 years

 

honda nsr / kawasaki kips if you have a moderate budget, 2 stroke, parts are reasonable maintainence like aprilia, kawasaki insurance killer as well. new about 5-6kplus, 2nd hand 2 k onwards depending on condition. nsr no longer in production though.

 

honda cbr 150 moderate budget, 4 stroke, parts and maintainence reasonable and easy, insurance reasonable.new about 4-5kplus.2nd hand 2-3k depending on condition.

 

price of bike very subjective, depend on mileage, condition, years etc, so check it out with the shops and classifieds. mine is really a rough estimate.

 

hope it helps

Hi there,

sports bike for 2b?

 

Is it your wish to get a sports bike or because of your friends having it.

 

-What I'm suggesting is 1st try to get to know the road well "road knowledge" and other road users behaviour during peak hours and normal hours.

FYI "It's a Jungle out there"

 

-People buy Sports bike for sheer performance- especially speed and handling.

 

-If you are interested get it when you have 2A or class 2-with better road knowledge.

 

-Regardless of any CC whether for "2B, 2A or class 2" sports bike must be in tip top condition -"performance parts" more money spend thou- no cheap tyres, brake pads, oil or so...and not forgetting most importantly knowledge of your bikes' characteristics. regular servicing is a must.

 

-"Sports bike" Your insurance will be high that for sure.

 

-As you are sourcing for a 2nd hand bike get a bike that you can handle and less on your pocket - on insurance, servicing and maintenance.

 

-I hope you understand what I am saying- be safe and happy.

 

-Be wise in what you choose...

oooo.. Thks a lot.... Hmm, I haf a few questions ah, wds the stoke thing about?

Erm, can anyone point out to me wd are the info I need to take note like mileage and all?

 

Thks a lot, cheers!!

two types of engine, 2-strokes and 4-strokes. in short,2-strokes,more torque,require constant maintainence. 4-strokes,less torque,simple maintainence. 2-strokes no longer in production (for jap model)

 

impt to take note of engine cond. appearance is secondary. get a fren or some1 who noes bikes to view with u. advice, get from private seller if possible.
