Dear all, I went to HL Cycle today to ask for the price again, they 'roti prata' this round, saying dat the machine price is $6600, denying dat they impossible to give $6600 OTR as from promise thru the phone. If add insurance cum registration and GST will be $7500. But they willing to give me 4% interest as the guy see me quite sincere about buying, but I still pull handbrake cos I wanna ask all your opinion 1st. Izzit worth buying? They have calculated, if I down $1100, my monthly will be $205 for 3 Years 4% loan. Pls advise, thanks.

4% is quite reasonable but OTR is $7500? That's the same price I got a year ago. Dun tell me they really up the cc to 200 ah? Hehehe...

I was at Mah last week with disar for his S.Wing collection. Saw some new GTS200 over there, noticed some differences in terms of appearance:

 

- There's signal light mirror this time (only saw one silver one)

- There's a SYM emblem on the windscreen and the center of handlebar

 

Bro, the GTS u saw izzit dat the SYM emblem is below the windshiled? But HL selling does not have the side mirror signals and the metal emblem on the center of handle bar.

Different batches I guess. The ones I saw are the latest one maybe... As mentioned above, they are the distributors, so of course they'll have the latest batch...

MAH? U are right anyway, no harm asking. But I've been chopped by MAH before, so I still wary of them. Thanks Bro who_noe. Any bros any comments and recommendation? If not I might be going down to HL to confirm the deal tomorrow.

dun rush bro, go down to mah and talk to the salesperson they very friendly one.

 

as for distributor i heard from someone (better not name him), mah is the distributor.

 

ultimately the decision is yours. maybe when u go mah and see the model that recko mentioned, you will be blown away and the decision making will be much easy already. btw the signal side mirror really looks nice

1 pair 200 not so bad

Doesn't matter who the distributor is, what we've told you are fyi only. Your main concern is to get the cheapest deal in town right? If you insist in boycotting the shop we've mentioned, then forget it, follow your heart and gun for it. We ourselves are consumers too and we have our own shopping experiences with certain shops as well. So if you are still uncertain about it, survey more, talk to the salesperson face to face and analyse it yourself. You are the one who's gonna make the ultimate decision, not us...

Bro who_noe, thanks for your help. I manage to deal at MAH cos they are the sole distributor and they offer cheaper then HL. They offer me $7000 OTR w/o box and helmet as I request dun want. The Sales Rep still write down and calculate for me to see, not like HL just press and show me the calculator. The Sales Rep still help me calculate y HL give me higher Monthly (HL is $220 with 4% Int, MAH is $195 with 5% Int, 3 Year loan with $1k down) and found out that HL really cheated me.

 

The actual price MAH Sales Rep told me thru e phone is $7200. Wnet down and he check thru his system that actual price is nearly $7700 OTR! He said nvm since he promise me, but still manage to discount another $200 from him for dun want any accessories. He promise next Mon sure can get as he said got immediate stock, I so happy.

 

Also thanks Bro Bryantlin and Bro Recko for your help.
