Hi all,

 

I know i might get scolding for asking this, but i am so sorry. i am not lazy but have not time to read all 200 plus pages from the past. So please help me out.

 

I have decided to get a new baby- Vara sson but before i do that i need to find out a few things first.

 

1) i am only 168 cm tall, am i to short to ride the vara?

2) Which will be the best one -stop shop to buy and install vara after maket parts?

3) i know the bike is quite heavy, will it be hard to handle?

4) any street legal exhust pipe to change for the vara?

 

if anyone can help ans these questions, that will be great.If not it's ok.

Thank you

hahahaha... see the leg man.. mym203, why u worry so much... i even finished 4th in last year dakar.. and the bikes are damn tall k.. just some tips lah k.. most of the time riding a vara, u will be half standing.. unless u are really that scaredy cat, scared cannot reach.. then can settle down for gsr400... just a suggestion..

 

back to the topic, im only 1.66 man.. and ive ridden with no problems.. the suspension is soft.. if u happen to buy a vara, and u still cant reach the grd, call elan7891 for his old suspension.. his is tuned for mongolian roads...soft and very gd for offroad use.. gd luck bro!

Hey all... Thank you all so much for the advices. I went to Heng Motor on changi road this morning wanting to buy the bike, but was told sold out.... Wha... baby Vara are selling like hot cakes.. The sales guy told me that he is not sure when the new stock will be in .

 

After reading all your advice, i cannot wait to get my hand on one now. Will go the mah motor to ask this sat.

 

I read somewhere in the forum that people like to send the new bike for hard run-in by Professional so that the bike will run-in properly. What do you all think? If i happen to buy the bike this sat should i ask the bike shop to run-in for me. I not sure how to run-in bike la. I used to ride a 2nd hand scooter so no such problem.

 

A meet up will be great after i get my Vara.

 

Again, thank you all for the help.

Now i know it was you...wondering who was behind me all the while....saw the bike shaking like osim u papa...

mym203 > You getting 1st hand? Why not settle for 2nd hands as normally they come with accessories. Think under Garage sales some are selling the non-07 models. Unless of cos, you want the 07 models

Thanks for your advice. I was thinking of getting new one. Reason is i bought a 2nd hand scooter the last time and it have been giving me bloody a lot of problem and i end up spending so much money fixing and changing parts that in the end i am better of spending a bit more and gotten a new one.

 

That is my sad stroy. All i need is just a reliable bike for day to day transport.

Dear Vara brother....Good news for all who been eyeing on multitec helmets

Regina is selling at $470 per pcs.This is the "sea shipment" thus it is cheaper then the first batch where some of the brother here have brought it.Their's are "Air Flown".....

 

Just go down regina to view and purchase over the counter if you wants.

 

I am only helping Derrick to spread the words,no commisson is earned.

Patricc, Blurdoggy and i rode to Tg Piai few months back, passing Kukup. Since we wanted to ride so we took a longer route, 128km. We were on the NSH, and exit at Simpang Renggam, then headed SW to Benut then headed south, passing Kg Ayer Baloi Pontian, before reaching Kukup.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/udaloy/captured-3.jpg

 

A strength, about 10km, of road before Pontian was really bad. It was undulating all the way and a pot hole (some as big as football) every 10m. My advise is not to take this route if you are driving a lowered car, especially with full passenger load.

 

On the return leg, we took a more direct route, from Kukup to Pontian to Pekan Nanas then to GP. That route was ok, but because we religiously follow ed the GPS, it led us to some tracks where we did a hour or so of semi-off road riding.

 

There is a Adidas, and Nike factory outlet at Skudai, perhaps if you have time you can check them out too.

 

Check with Patricc, he knows Johor better than his bike

 

 

Now whats that about me knowing Johor better than my bike.....

 

But anyway if u guys want a tour of JB area, i will be happy to bring u guys along if u wan... short of knowing where to makan great seafood coz i only eat seaweed only haha if u knw what i mean

 

I have been busy with work at my new workplace so I dun hav the time to go for topup plus my red fuel jerry can hav been of great use... it 'extends' my reserve tank for abt 100km each week hehee
