CLass 2 Sportsbike

[apish88]

Hey guys. Would like to ask for you guys opinion, what are the best Class 2 sportsbike for me? I intend to get 600cc and yes, i've never upgrade to Class 2A before so would be difficult for me to handle if i jump straight to 1000cc. Yeaah and im small in size. Hgt 159 and weight around 50 plus. Not sure if i can handle them. And and is class 2 bikes hard to maintain ? Any specific model to recommend ? R6 ? Suzuki ? Thanks guys. .

All 600cc sports bikes are similar. Deciding factor is which one looks best to you.

 

Maintenance all similar. Tires, oil, filters. Standard stuff.

 

Ducati 848 not cosidered.

[wait4me]

jus jump to 1000cc

You can make any transition.

The only thing is not to get in over your head and try anything funny until you are very sure that you've gotten used to the bike, and know full well how it accelerates, turns and brakes.

good advice

[papabread79]

No big deal. Many countries have 1 licence system. So what if 2B straight to 2.

just get whichever 600cc that u like most.

 

ya maybe initially u cant control it well enough, but after a few weeks, im sure u will get the hang of the power and u enhance ur knowledge as the years goes by.

 

just dun let ur ego get ahead of u and start out slow.

 

shldnt be a problem

 

overall if u can move from a stationary position and brake b4 impact, and not dropping ur bike while doing e-brake, it means u can handle it. just take ur time to get use to it.

i just jumped from 125 to 600cc..not much problems except for u-turn and parking the bike in tight spaces.im quite small size too,1.65m n 50kg.Thats when I really feel the weight difference.Just go slow for the 1st few weeks.still have my 125 for daily use.

not much problem? u turn and parking is already big problem.... heh

Try to learn how to push and manhandle the bike. Easier to reverse the bike into a lot by pushing it in.

Reversing on tiptoe is no fun. One little slip and down you go.

Remember... Mind over machines... Everything for a start is never easy. Take advice from the old birds here & make sure you can control & understand the machine well before wanting & trying to fly..

usually the drops will come at the slow slow moments.. like pushing your bike at car parks..

agreed.. especially those tight and slow corners which you could do with ease with your 2b..

 

turning radius is a totally different..

Hehe depends on the situation.

In MSCP i rather sit on my bike and bring it in to the lot.

Do what u feel most comfortable.

Depending on what bike, weight for class 2 need not be heavy. Just be aware of the power and take it easy.

[apish88]

Thanks people for the advice. Yeah kinda worried about handling and stuff. and the maintanence.

[kuwaiyert]

Maintenance.. for sport bikes, 600cc n 1000cc not big diff.. i believe theres no diff.. except for tyres as 600cc is a lil smaller for the rear... power more or less except the top end.. we humans are "program" to adapt certain things quite fast, so don't worry about the big jump from 2B to class 2.....

 

As for what bike model/brand which is good.. not easy to compare coz we don have the luxury to test every single model in the market.. unless u go into details and particular, example short or long stroke, V or inline engine.. i believe most of us like the bike to our own preference like the shape n colour of the n most important is the bike n price is right whether it fits ur budget..

 

Or u can watch youtube for specs review, almost every latest model videos are uploaded..

 

Hopes it helps a lil...

[apish88]

Yeah i've been thinking which model to choose from. And i know the maintenence from Class 2b to class 2 is a big difference. So must really know how to budget and stuff. And how much do you need to earn a month to own a class 2 bike ?

[123qweasd]

get something u think it suits u, season by slow riding, controlling handling with the weight and dont do sudden stunt if not required lol cheers

I made my jump from 135cc to 919cc, didn't own any 400cc bike in between... at first not use to the wt and fell off bike quite a few times... yes, turning part you have to take extra precaution...

 

How much do you need to earn a month to own a class 2 bike ? Very good question, very much depends on which bike you choose, let say you take PB1 CB1000 or YZF-R6 (2004) would be cheap judging from the previous sales they ranging from 7k and below (subjective)... (*depends on your down payment) your monthly installment could be less than 200SGD...

[apish88]

i see i see.. yeah i hope to cope with it from time to time.as im aware of the power .

THanks aniway guys. Feel free to share your thoughts. )

[kuwaiyert]

pertaining about budget... need a very careful financial planning, as long it won't be a very heavy burden to u.. den shud be ok..... remember not only installment to think of.. insurance n rd tax can "kill"... wear n tear stuffs like sprocket n chain, tyres, parking...

 

[ronaldinho]

a litre bike does wonders on the expressway but ard neighbourhood roads wit the traffic lites and all... sigh.
