haha unless you have very good relationship with Looi's Motor Mr Lee, if not your trade in value sure very low. however, Looi's still have several pieces of the K8 in stock. so can get them much cheaper than the K9. maybe you can enquire with i-Motoring? since they willing to give you a higher trade in value it may be better for you to work with them.

 

IMO, it will be better for you to change to the Gen2 busa. technically, it is a better bike. financially, it has more value. if you overhaul your current busa, it is just for you to keep and all that money you spend onto the engine will not let you gain any much more on trade-in value. furthermore, at 100,000km mileage, not only the engine needs to be looked into. suspensions and brakes are just as important for safe handling.

 

Well, i understand it is easy to say change but not easy to fork out the money especially at the current financial crisis. maybe you can have your budget worked out more to see which way will be more feasible for you.

however, if you can really afford it, my opinion is that changing to the new Gen2 busa is better way. you can retain your number plate easily, and you are getting brand new and improved parts. you need not fork out cash for the repair but just need to service the loan.

 

that is just my humble opinion la. the rest is up to you. :goodluck:

 

I agreed to wat you said!Thank you so much!:goodluck:

Wow... changing a bike instead of overhaul? Its like... its like... buying a cow just because you wanna drink milk!

 

Personally, my advise to Toys is to just overhaul the bike and continue to ride it. I'm not looking down on you but from the way you mentioned that you are having headache with the cost of overhauling the bike, I don't think you should commit yourself to a brand new purchase. 20 over thousands is not a small sum especially during the current economic crisis. What if you lose your job?

 

With the current old ride, if you still have outstanding loans, I'm sure its not a big one. And you would be able to get rid of it relatively easily and get back a few k. If you have to get rid of a brand new Busa with a hefty outstanding loan... I believe you would have to top up cash to get rid of it.

 

Think twice my friend, the new bike is good... but don't get caught in the trap if you do not have the cash in your pocket.

akg and hyboy both have their point .. having a new bike no more overhaul.

u overhaul.. then if u never do enough then 1 yr later bike got problem overhaul again become bottomless pit. a full overhaul is not cheap u can ask kaieru... .

If i were u,i will overhaul the bike n giv it a new colour.ts is a 1 time payment which make ur bike healthy n looks like new again.anywae u got no more installment on bike,but too bad repair cost cant pay by installment unless u take private loan to repair ur bike.Good luck to u Cheers.

paying for the price to overhaul is not a problem lah,the problem is that i always have a mind to change my ride or not to change loh!I'm afraid later i'll regret after overhaul or after change ride so i must think think & think!Anyway my paintwork is custom 3 month only!:cheeky:

I agreed & understand too!Ah..................me headache man!I too have the 1st thought of changing ride but after i asked Looi's Mr Lee i changed my mind!Dunno is it true,He said now busa no value,export also no people want,some more mine left 1 yr etc.........then he said he take in 5K the most!Wow lau....lau sai man 5K but i too asked i-motoring they take in 7.5K to 8K!Some more more i wish to keep my plate but if i buy old bike then i need to pay until Siao for the plate!Then plus plus minus minus,i decided to overhaul loh!How How ley!:gun::gun::gun:

 

1 more question:U really GAY ah!!!!

 

i tell u wat, why dun u go ard looking at how much is it to overhaul.

juz jot down all the parts you think is going to be changed / you would like to be changed. then compare apple to apply and ask the shop, parts and labour.

when done, compare it to the amount of $ you going to spend + COE price (since u only left 1 yr) then that is the total u going to spend. is it worth it to be in another 20+K loan again?? what is your future committment, getting married, having kid, getting house, getting new hse, touch wood - if sick etc how? then how much is ur pay if it is going to be able to substain it. cos since u say u already are not having installment this will result u have more spending power... when u get a new ride, can it make u feels the same still?

 

lastly whichever is the case a gen 1 or gen 2, u are still a busa rider! :D :thumb:

haha you can try harder. most to most, the guilt you created in me will just make me sell you the fairings very cheaply. spent quite a sum on the fairings that's why. but dun worry, i'll surely give you good price. :cheeky:

you really cruel!! tell me leh!!! :cry:
