Okie! I will get the facts right first before committing. I don't want to have any regrets and complaints thereafter haha...

Glad to be of help! Btw, Brandnew is selling off his Vara. Contact him if you are keen to view his bike! :)

im 166. i can, u sure can. Maybe adjust the rear suspension to setting 5 for softer feel. or like wad byma said, cut the seat; narrower at the side for ur legs to touch the ground, but not sacrificing comfort.

 

I like the bike, research abt it b4 my cls 2B, passed liao then start to go view bikes. but tio "hung" by the size when i finally saw one in the flesh. Tried one before buying(the one i got till now) and never look back.

Its size sure put some of us off for the 1st time, but u will learn to handle it. Dont worry. Im also having my feet flexed up.

Wow that sounds great. Any servicing shop that u all go that specialise the in the Vara? Iwant to enquire how much it cost to lower the suspension.

im 166. i can, u sure can. Maybe adjust the rear suspension to setting 5 for softer feel. or like wad byma said, cut the seat; narrower at the side for ur legs to touch the ground, but not sacrificing comfort.

For servicing Some go to bikewerks at kaki bukit, some go KnT at ubi, the rest I not sure....everywhere else.

I tink cutting the seat to suit ur butt would be a cheaper option to reduce seat height...I understand ur fears....maybe let u try my bike next time.

 

Brandnew is selling his superb condition vara. But u need to cut lots of it. Other than that it comes wif alot accessories.

btw....just to clarify smthg. actually those using the Ermax tall windshield still can handle-lock. mirror need adjustment, no handguard could be install, unless handguard clamps are customised fitted.

BTW, on my bike in 5th gear it's like this:

80km/h at 7200

90km/h at 8000

100km/h at 9000

110km/h at 10000

 

and like I mentioned a while back, I cannot redline the bike in 5th gear, it just won't go past 10500 or so.

It's not how fast you ride, but how well you ride.
