Varadero 125

[fleaz]

Hopefully will be getting my license soon enough. Still a student with limited $, I was wondering if it's worth it to get a vara 125 for just transport purposes. Or should I get scramblers? Cos if I'm not mistaken, vara 125 probably has the best mileage.

As I'm still a student, would you recommend the vara 125 to me as a first bike? for the payment of the bike, my parents are willing to loan me the money, therefore, I will not need to worry about the money part. However, in the long run, maintenance can be quite an issue. I'm very interested in the vara however the cost of owning one seems really high as compared to other 2b bikes.

Any bike that is not well taken care of will incur high maintenance costs...

hi fleaz,

 

let's continue here.

 

Don't worry about which bike to get. Concentrate in obtaining the licence. Tho u shd go browse around and get an idea of the types of bikes that should your needs most. Also the $$, how much you willing to part.

 

If possible, try the bike (friends or associates) and see which really suits your "riding style".

 

Once again, I would say "DON'T RUSH, TAKE YOUR TIME."

 

Hi guys,

 

so far no luck. except one guy asked about the status of the bike. Well, let's see how things goes.

 

Cheers

Simone, Aidi UNDERCOWL FABRICATION

Yo bros,

 

Is it confirm that the ucowl will not interfere with the engine guard for those who have it oredi ?

 

For those that who did not read previous posting, the undercowl is

FABRICATED NOT ORIGINAL

 

fleaz, archie84 > suggest that one of your decision process involves trying out the vara on one of the group meetup. u can see its size, feel its weight, sit on it, feel the engine sound etc. caution you may just go buy one the next day !! Then try outn do yr research on the Phantoms, Wave, KRR, KFC etc

 

Most of us got the vara not for just the transportation or even its performance (after all its only a 125cc) only but cos we love just it looks ? Lets face it, its love at first sight for most of us. Getting a vara for just transporation is an overkill.

We'll just cross our finger it fits...... if not most of u guys will beat the crap out of me. anyway m trying to get aidi to fix his undercowl first so that the rest of us can the the quality of the build and finishing. and yes it was fabricated from niti's undercowl which already has a crash bar so hopefully it will fit ours.

fleaz da 1st question ya gotta ask ya self ya want speed or gd looks?

 

speed go for sp or kr or pick up ktm 200 but looks den settle for vara 125, btw its is handling is gd, fuel saver, mantainence lot cheaper den 2stroker in long run n more reliable cuz its meant for long distance, if money not a problem why bother get cheapo bikes when ya can get da one ya want wat?

 

niti tba cant be tiong bahru avenue where got, aikon da real term for tba is to be advised or annouce too, but if got other such thing den tak tau ah beb...hehehe!

 

stargate yup true there is no such thing as an original undercrowl its all aftermarket product, btw i am using vara125 as a transport liao it aint of an overkill unless u use ktm 200 like my fren high mantainence cost not to mention top up petrol like wee wee man...hehehe!

Hi..all Vara bros....

 

Take note guys....... the undercowl mounting will be welded to your body frame thus it will be a permanent fixture but it will not be visible after mounting the undercowl onto it ..... hopefully but dis SATURDAY during our meet up my bike will be ready for you guys to see the workmanship . I leave it to you guys whether you guys to do the mounting on your own or let the mechanic do it for you .

 

Guys please add the colour of choice (undercowl) next to your nick.

I ain't rushing into things. Just taking my time to see what sort of bike is suitable for me when I do acquire my license to ride.

Not possible until i get my license. I understand that at 125cc and with its weight, it is lacking in performance. However, I believe most 2b bikes suffer the same fate other than some sportbikes. I find the looks of the vara rather appealing.

I'm no speed demon. My average driving speed on the road is like only 70kmh. However, point noted on the part about cheaper maintenance for the vara 125. Looking forward to testing out a vara 125 one day.

 

a bit! is the owner of the red vara (i saw one in NP) here?

However, in the long run, maintenance can be quite an issue. I'm very interested in the vara however the cost of owning one seems really high as compared to other 2b bikes.

mantainence is just like every other 2b bike. its quite cheap to mantain a varadero and it seldom gives you any cause for worry.

 

oil u need only 1.3 litres

spark plugs u need 2

oil filter is cheap

the only expensive part is the air filter which is 120

 

other then that everything else is like a 2b bike.

 

the fuel consumption avrage about 25-31km/litres. which is economical.

 

comparing with a honda wave of cos it might be a bit more but then again ur riding a one sexy spanish mamcita! so there u have its value for money!

 

ur spot on when u say its underpowered cos its a 2b bike just like any 2b bike which is underpowered.

 

taking things into perspective. if u buy another bike u would definitely wanna change it when u upgrade ur license. more often then not, most varadero riders are still clinging on to their varadero. so in the long run u'll be saving more money as compared if u change ur bike frequently. i know cos i got a phantom n after a few months i bought a varadero. so i had spent more money if i just had bought a varadero in the first place. trust me, when u are riding another bike and u see ur fav bike on the road beside u, u can't help but wish u want that bike. buy the bike u want n take good care of it .. it will serve u well.
