it all depends wat you want to do with your class 2 bike...

 

if you're only going to do like 4 big trips a year...and you only travel 10km to work with 10 traffic lights along the way...you might find the ST a little "under-used"

 

there's no perfect bike..which ever bike you choose there're pros and cons...

 

personally, i find the bike that scores the highest after weighing all the pros and cons will be a SUPER4 with a windshield....

add 1 top box to make it perfect:cheer:

 

btw i seldom go on trips. i normally travel 70km~100km a day thus find a class2 bike comfortable and ease compare to smaller bikes:cheeky:

who cares about objectivity and praticality? our carparks are filled with SUVs and a yellow ferrari passes by everytime i go out for a smoke... i should be riding a kupkia with a front basket and rear box...

[marcopolo]

i work for the environment...

 

so i have to " enviro" conscious mah.......

 

all my colleagues disapprove of me riding...

I've got one who cycles to work...

 

having said that...my boss drives a subaru forrester...

2L with turbo...real nice to drive!!

bad working enviroment... i have the impression that your job is more of a horticulturist than an environmentalist. anyway, the forrester is fuel guzzler and cannot handle anything more than sand/gravel. not an offroader...

[melvinho]

Isn't the ST11 more Ex than the TDM? Unless you get a old one.. which might have more problems..If you are having $$ problem, than I suggest you keep your S4 cause it's the best in value for money..

 

You been asking all around this forum which bike to get... since the day I join this forum.. now that I have got my new bike and been riding for 1 mth.. you r still asking around..

 

My advise.. set a price range that u can afford.. look at the bikes that is within this range.. search in classifies/shops/forum.. than just buy it.. the more you think.. the more confuse you are..

 

My 2 cents..

[comics00]

...mmm...think melvin got a point for u. if $$$ is the main issuse than u shouldn't be asking ard which bike is better/ to buy. instead should set a $$$ amount than find out what the $$$ can afford the should help u zero in:goodluck:

[Kenny]

hi guys,

im pretty sure the prob is not with the money...just wants to be careful...

 

cheers!

[casio]

if have doubt.. better keep using your current bike. else, buy the best to avoid itchy hand again.

me jialat lah, last sun lesson1 fail leh. so must repeat. cos i from small 200cc bike suddenly jump to a heavy cb750 in ssdc maciam like riding monster like that lolz. anyway, even if i repeat lessons 1 & 2 and pass 3 first attempt already take up about 2 weeks, add on the wait for tp another month, total about 2 months lor.

take your time james.. don't rush. the tdm bike and group will always be around in spore. no worries... we will wait for you patiently. anyway, you can come and join us in the meeting if you want to. that way, you probably can ask questions that you wanna know abt tdm.

 

anyway, comics... i'm not sure abt others.. but my ultimate machine would be an FRJ1300. that's whay i want to get in maybe 4 to 5 years time. i wouldn't rule out STX1300 too but only if the price is right. too costly as compared to FRJ1300. but if i do decide to get either of these beasts.. i will get myself a wave for commuting to work daily..
