[Dragstar]

totally cannot compare for this 2 bikes.

[MiCmAsTa]

Both Different Class and Both different Cat... You wanna compare wat?

At least you compare like XJR with S4 then got say mah...

[ngws77]

side tracking abit....

 

but since it was brought up in this thread that bigger bikes can pillion people better, which i find makes sense... would like to ask if class 2 sports bike will also be more stable when i pillion as compared to my SP. cos i dun really like to pillion on my sp. not sure if its just sports bike riding position or the bigger the bike, the more stable it is regardless of cruiser, street or sports bike...

If you can bear it, ride a 2B bike for 3 years then change to CL2. The reason is quite simple. Insurance for 2B is much cheaper and more logical to insure just 3rd party. Cheap cheap, build NCD...

i intend to ride for 3 yrs and change to car for saftey sake

I do not think the NCD will carry forward to your new set of wheels. Pls check to verify, i could be wrong.

 

And from 2a - 2 not very advisable. Sudden jump in size and power.

I used to ride a TA200. And if you ask me, i regreted that bike. Should have got a RXZ or something else.

 

Those who rides in singapore only and you clock around maybe 8000km in 6 months, no problem. The bike most prob will last you around 3-4 yrs.

 

Mine did't last me 1 year. Brand new. 1/2 was about 15000km. Clocked about 36000 in a year on that bike. After about 30000km, things will start wearing out. Chain tensioner, cam bearings, gasket, all will come at once.

 

So given a choice between a TA200 and S4, i will take the S4. Mine's a 5 yrs old with 80 000++ Km on the odo, no problem. Able to go further up north as well. Went to Frasers with my TA200 the very first time. Man, wat an experience. Never going to do that again.

 

And if you are talking about wanting speed and power with low maintenance and low fuel consumption, go take a bus.

I think jumping from 2B to 2 is okay as long as you know what you're doing and control your throttle hand. I got a SV650 after not riding a more than a year, and before that I rode SP (even after getting 2A). It took me a few days to get used to it, but I am handling it fine and even do a pop occasionally.

 

NCD carries forward, according to when I checked with NTUC last time.

 

Sorry for Phantom and Spec II, I'll choose neither. I'd go for Spec I or even Ver S if the bike is in good condition.

[RuleZ]

Power ; Spec II

 

Economical ; TA200.
