After I put a 3K down and the New model pop up .. sighz .. nvm .. I guess the new model gonna cost a lot too. . . Think it will cost anywhere near the Aprilla RS125 2006 ?

 

Bike's coming ard next week, gonna invest in a Fullface helmet.. Any recommendations?

My budget is around $600-$800 for Fullface helmet.

Got to get those side box and crash bar too .. ada 2nd hand box tak?

Boleh tolong cari tak?

 

Looks like Helmet is a top priority for me now. (takda cukup duit lah)

Vara125 is really an expensive bike (Ouch)

Total price (loan 3 years) = near 12K. . . .

 

 

Any suggestions? Been looking into Arai's RX7-RR4 and Shoei's X-eleven for now.

 

Ok ~ hope to cya guys soon .

dude even if u put downpayment u still hv the option to swap bike till its delivered to u, den abt investing $600 bucks its NOT a gd idea unless u hv alot of cash to spare.....get a sub $300 full face will be more den enuf....

 

 

den again buying a vara125 for $12k-15k its ridiculous! more over its so marked up price & high interest rate of bike, u will wanna upgrade once u get a class 2a or 2a.....hehe!

 

juz my 2 cents....cheers dude!

Haha, I think I kinda like Vara 2006 built (its higher), though Fuel Injection is a new technology..so I guess its a no no for 2007 for my personal opinion. . .

(Self consoling)

 

I already bought an Arai FF Helmet. So its not an issue anymore.

 

But you are a Vara Rider too correct ?

Yup, Vara's price kinda steep... but I guess its a good investment for me, 12k for the Bike to be OTR. Its a no turning back for me since the day I set my eyes on it though. . . haha.

 

And .. I would be using this bike till I get my Class 2 licence.. so to me I guess its worth it.

 

Cant wait to pimp my ride! H&B here I come! Its time to burn some bucks!

 

[blurdoggy79]

Harlow peeps,

Al-Simmons> Lets do the handle bars...so rocked by the idea...hahaha

Hideaway>>> me too bro!...the moment i set my eyes on Vara...thats it!...it is mine!...i dun care what people say...bottomline...i am happy with my purchase...you know the phrase... "Nothing will come in between Boys and their Toys!"

[glorygoh]

anyone who studys at RP?

Always will see one parking down there with H&B side boxes..

[Hideaway]

Been looking into the Hepco & Becker side box and racks.

Can the 30L Junior fit in a FF helmet? or only the 40L Junior can?

 

And normally how much for the total equipments? Dun think I would be getting a Topbox though.

 

Can anybody enlighten me in this issue because I want to install the crash bar and the side box once I collect my bike.

 

Thanks

Al-Simmons has one.. HB flash with rack is $920..

toobez,

 

 

like u said everyone can share my opinion & did i not mention its the price is ridiculous, not the buyer, moreover when i got mine in 2004 new one cost $9500 otr jfyi....i hope dat enlighten the rest abt the marked up price in sg dat nvr seem justified...hehehe!

 

btw abt helmet if u cant afford top of the line den fine but more riders should be investing in gd riding boots, proper gloves & armour mesh jacket as these other parts of the body are more prone to abrasion injuries den helmet, which i dun tink u wanna scrap corner wif a beloved arai helmet on to the floor, rite?

 

y i say dat cuz my previous post my fren still end up in SICU tts wif an arai, not wearing gloves, boots or jacket but rather casual slipper wateva....so pls dun tink im here tok nonsense ok?

 

 

 

 

den again i dun see the reason for u to swanning me in typo of 2a & class 2 dude.... class 2a.5 duh??

maybe u will understand better aft taking 2a or if u hv till class 2....like me 2 bikes u will know wat i mean....cheers dude.

 

 

hope that enlightens u especially wen im not a new vara125 rider either & lucky got frens buy u a sub $300 helmet ;p

 

 

1st motor crash bar cost a mere $190 value for money den the stupid sw motech which bends aft a drop den i had to change it aft forkin $280 & now it cost $320....wow! gd luck den

 

finally i hope tis ends the topic lets not argue further abt such matter....enjoy riding......safely!

[lilfarhan]

alalalalala... dont argue k boys...

 

alright bros.. i got a problem man... after a long ride this afternoon, when i mount off my bike with the engine still running, i could hear ticking sound coming from the engine... is it because of my engine is too hot...( which engine is cold right..??)

but im starting to worry about this man.. i dont want to spend so much on engine repairs..

 

anyway where can i get the screw of the windshield and the nut.. cause they seem a bit diff from other nuts.. its like built in... my windshield has been rattling if i ride above 40km/h...

Al-Simmons & Wady > Anyway to change the current panel to the 2007 type?

 

DaNiYal > Read previous posts on Varastomer repraying his ex vara. Think he had informed you where he went . Any recollection of it?

 

Me thinking of going to bike shop to do some minor respray on my bike. Anyone knows of reliable/quality bikeshop which does this?

 

BTW, dunno what else can do to the bike. Maybe will invest in Spiegler brakeline or whatever.

 

Anywayz, my sincerest apologies for not being able to meet up recently. Too many committments. Anyway, me going Taiwan on 17th. When I'm back, i'll make up for it ok?

[lilfarhan]

hey guys, a video for u guys to rest ur mind and take thing s easy.. vol up and hear what the guys is saying in the video...

 

video

[toobez]

|blow me|

 

prodero >>> i usually don't bother with people that have an amazing ability to interpret, conjucture and misappropriate what others say.. but in your case i will make an exception..

 

'like u said everyone can share my opinion' >>> most are well aware by now.. thanx..

 

'did i not mention its the price is ridiculous, not the buyer' >>> nope you said 'den again buying a vara125 for $12k-15k its ridiculous!' although a price is stated here one can easily assume that you are not referring to the price.. you stated this with reference to hideaway's stating how much he is paying for his bike..

 

'moreover when i got mine in 2004 new one cost $9500 otr jfyi' >>> doode.. seriously.. that is almost 3 years ago.. your otr is with how much deposit, interest, loan duration and insurance? i'm sure as a 23 year old affording your own car that you are aware of these matters? and that of inflation? hardly a fair comparison between yourself and those that have just bought their bikes..

 

'i hope dat enlighten the rest abt the marked up price in sg dat nvr seem justified...hehehe!' >>> nah..

 

'btw abt helmet if u can afford top of the line den fine but more riders should be investing in gd riding boots, proper gloves & armour mesh jacket as these other parts of the body are more prone to abrasion injuries den helmet' >>> true.. but did u state this when u posted about hideaway wanting to get his helmet? why not share your great knowledge then instead of now?

 

'which i dun tink u wanna scrap corner wif a beloved arai helmet on to the floor, rite?' >>> never planned to.. who does? but i would get an arai helmet for more than fear of scratching it..

 

'so pls dun tink im here tok nonsense ok?' >>> your grammar is terrible.. and as a touring rider i am well aware of the need for protection.. but that does not mean that i do not think you talk nonsense lar..

 

den again i dun see the reason for u to swanning me in typo of 2a & class 2 dude.... class 2a.5 duh?? >>> i was not swanning you.. sorry you took it that way.. just stating that you probably rush through a lot of what you say..

 

'maybe u will understand better aft taking 2a or if u hv till class 2....like me 2 bikes u will know wat i mean....cheers dude.' >>> maybe hence i will not comment cuz i don't put my mouth where i have not put any money..

 

'hope that enlightens u especially wen im not a new vara125 rider' >>> erm.. u said i would understand better if i had a 2A or class 2.. so no, i am not really enlightened.. appreciate your effort though..

 

'lucky got frens buy u a sub $300 helmet ;p' >>> i wrote that it was a'not-so-sub' $300 helmet.. not only do u not think about what u write but worse still you reply without even reading what others write.. maybe once you have friends you will be enlightened..

 

'1st motor crash bar cost a mere $190 value for money den the stupid sw motech which bends aft a drop den i had to change it aft forkin $280 & now it cost $320....wow! gd luck den' >>> i and a few others here have the motech crash bar.. i would strongly encourage you to pay attention to how you phrase your words? its nice of you to share your experiences but paralanguage is important too, yeah? and yes.. of course the price would rise.. inflation dear.. or maybe you got yours through an MO? better if you can share more accurately.. thanx..

 

'finally i hope tis ends the topic lets not argue further abt such matter' >>> no it doesn't.. your opinions are too autonomous and obviously shot from the hip.. this is hardly an argument.. and cheap if you state your case and then wish to close the topic.. i'd be more than willing to carry on this conversation in person if u so wish?

 

'enjoy riding......safely!' >>> thanx.. i do..

 

oh.. and in the future you need not post everything twice, yeah?

 

keanan >>> miss you too man.. we will meet soon! all things can be forgiven with a ice teh o limau.. grande!

Guys guys, relax...... take a deep breath......

 

Internet communications are opened to intepretations. Sometimes we do not meant it that way but some how, words gets jumbled up and in the end, misunderstandings are created.

 

So for Toobes and Pro Dero, one Ice Limau on me..okay? Kiss and make up.....

 

Anyway, the bloody haze is driving me nuts.....I wear a SARS mask when I ride.... I feel my head spinning....I feel like I am constantly inhaling from a stick of Marlboro Menthol.... WTF........

I have a feeling that this is so familiar ... It's back again ... :smile:
