1) a working motorcycle

2) valid roadtax

@iqballistics

 

when u want to buy a bike from a private seller, go down and view the bike. if u are ok with it, pay a deposit to the owner if needed. some seller require a deposit some no need.

 

after that, arrange a date to go down to LTA to transfer ownership of the vehicle. there is a fee to be paid to LTA for the transfer of ownership. if you want know how much is the fee before you go down, you have to go to one motoring website and key in the plate number.

 

in the meantime, go get your insurance. call the insurance company to get a quotation, you need the plate number. then head down to the insurance company to make payment. once u have ur insurance, u can ride the bike on the day when the ownership is transferred at LTA.

 

remember.. don't ride the bike before u get your insurance.

transfer fees will cost you aboit 30+ or 60+ i forgot already. insurance depends on your age & riding experience

Hi all! i've got a question here! which option is more feasible? i just passed tp and im 21.

 

A: get a sp, either with 2013 coe or 202x coe, scrap or sell depending on the coe..

B: get a x1r, just ride till i get class 2A. which will be around 2013 as well..

 

i understand that once i get a transport, no matter how sure will lose money.. trying to see which option will lose the minimum. i will definitely upgrade to class 2A! SUPER 4!

why get a sp. so typical. i'll take tzm over a sp.

imo if you want to have healthy fun but spend more on petrol/maintenance. a sportbike

if want to save then go for kupkias

[terrormania]

Why i see mostly all newbie starts off with a sp... is it a good bike?

[Fried Rice]

because sp is a 2 stoke sports bike and it looks nice
