ALAMAK,

 

went to FJR threads yesterday to discover some1 was being "WARNED", very disappointed here. No freedom of speach @ all.

 

On Sunday, saw one of the thread, some 1 was being force to delet what he had posted (think he posted some negative comments on a bike shop) and he was asked to apologise here, wonder what other damage he faced. Think you guys must have discovered that I took out all my previous posts here, after much consideration, no point to go against the big company and further I can't prove what I had posted without all previous invoices from P*L, what to show or defend myself. Was chatting with the Kopi Tiam Lawyer yesterday, he told me to be careful when posting comments publicly.

 

All I can say is that we have to be very careful when posting our comments here. Don't wish to see any1 disappear from this thread. But if your claims is true, provided that you are able to prove it, you need not worry - then again, what is true and how do u prove it? We may have to go thru a big hassle or high lawyer fees just to prove our innocent, worth it? You decide.

Yep, I guess there's nothing much we can do about it.

 

From this lesson, I somehow feel that we can never share negative experiences abt any agents or bike shops in this forum. Basically u are at your own risk.

 

Hey guys, i suggest that you all look thru your posts n delete/edit watever can be construe as negative remarks to any bikeshops or agents.

 

From now on you all can only say good things

BMW and Aprilia team up

BMW and Aprilia have signed a deal that will see the firms work together to produce a brand new machine.

The companies have been in talks for a while to re-kindle the relationship that produced the range of BMW F650s and announced today the deal that BMW hopes will produce an “additional product offering” that will be “entirely new to BMW.”

Production of the new machines will be carried out by Aprilia at its Italian facilities.

Dr. Roberto Colaninno, Chairman of both Aprilia and Paiggio, Aprilia’s new owners, explained: “The agreement with BMW Motorrad confirms Aprilia’s reputation and technological and design capabilities. For us, it is a further significant step in the recovery process of Aprilia as one of the most important motorcycle brands and manufacturers.”

Freedom of speech can only be found in Foreign forums.

 

This is the 2nd time I feel like retiring from this place. FORKS man.

[GSGabes]

This is a Ducati MultiStrada. Touring good but Noisy dry clutch..... Powerful though and I read reviews saying the seats are characteristics of a Duc. Uncomfortable... Must have an Iron butt. Otherwise its quite a nice ride.

Wow, this is a very difficult Q. Think every1 has a price in their heart to gauge if it cheap or ex. So long as u r comfortable with e price, think tt's cheap.

 

Known people paying Mini S Cooper Mark III - yr 1970+++ for more than S$80K & they think it's a steal. me, will go for Honda Integra Type S, $85k++ new with COE.

AGREED~!~!

 

Got a fren who sold off a Ducati tink 916??? and bot the multistrada...... *kowtow*

Somehow i always think Ducati should b red in color, just like Ferrari, of cos it looks nice on other color but if i m getting 1, it will only b red & hopefully comes with "AH BENG" gold rims instead of black. Just like WRX - must b blue with gold rims.

 

$35k & 0 downpayment - monthly should b abt $850 for 4.yrs. Wow. Think hv to opt for 7 yrs instalment, just like car, interest should b higher for 7yrs right?

 

Let's wait & see, if Suzuki Swift comes with GTi & insurance is e same as Ignis Sports or Getz 3 doors. By then, not too late to decide.

 

Guys, i should b getting e GT soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOL, Sadly, not e GT1200. minus 1000, it is a Vespa GT200, wife changed her mind. Anyway, she didnt pass her last TP test, hope can get it running on e road next month.

hey my gf riding a GT200 also.... worth every penny... ride 2 ups also no probz... onli pillion leg might b abit discomfort due to position of the leg pegs....

 

hahahha... tink we gonna keep the Vespa for good...... worth it.... good for spore roads..... if got any query abt it... feel free to ask mi~

 

hey u might wanna consider Mazda 2 also!~ not baDd~ 1.5l car... ard $63K...... OTR...

 

but Suzuki ignis sport is so nice too....

[Cyclop aka Sideways]

Yo GS1200, chk this out (Scroll to the bottom), lovely twins!

Whats Up DaWgZ!!

 

Sorry to budge in...juz want to share my enthusiasm....hehehhe...

 

Came aross your post about Suzuki Swift GTi.....sadly...CHampion motors will bring in either this june or by next june.....but i can tell you....phew!....the GTi model gonna be power!....but of course lah...cannot compare the likes of integra or wrx....but Swift GTi is the best for its range....i personally test drive a Suzuki Ignis Sport.....the close ratio gear...man u can feel it....juz for information....Swift GTi will be using Ignis Sport Engine with some fine tuning.....the cost will be around $61k - $63k....

 

If you buying the Swift GTi....bro...2 thumbs up for you!.....

Thanks, sure to hv plenty of queries. Never experience Vespa/Scooter & auto gear b4. Scarebeo 500cc looks good as well. Hahaha, may give up all manual bikes & go for this type of lazy & super comfortable bike.

 

Madza 2, good suggestion, hse carpark has @ least 5, think best is e METALLIC ORANGE, just so cute.

 

Went to e Scooter thread. people seem nice, helpful & humble there. May really do a major migration, tt's changing to Scooter.

get the fazer... then you have the great great grandfather and the grand child together.. hehe... SDR and Fizzy... hehe...

 

dun sell your Mystic... was awed the first time I saw it... hehe... even as an exhibition piece, its a gem in itself...
