u mux understand how ur bike slows down b4 u decide to let it go fast

ride safely!

r u toking abt mine it did really spend quite alot of time in the workshop ever I had got it

[Reese]

:lol:

saw ur xiaoqing at TH yesterday... bery poor thing... kena stripped almost to the bones

haizz...

[Guest devil's own]

Just finishing doing my first run in. I noticed something about the tail lights. There's 4 red bulbs, & when i press my brakes, only the center 2 bulbs lights up. Whatever happened to the other 2 red bulbs at the side?

 

Also, can anyone fill me in on the approximate price of a runner sit?

 

Thanks.

hmmm

 

tink i might as well get a brand new one...see wen free go look see look see..

 

 

so if i BHB go in ask for e deal similar to e roadshow..u tink dey will entertain me??

 

[Reese]

u like which version?

05 or 06?

they look quite different leh

[pipi]

hmm i actually dun mind e 05 or e 06 one

 

juz tt i read from this thread that there is many probs w e 06 model so abit scared..

 

u know how much e 05 model cost? 06 is 6.5 ya..if got do much freebies i dun mind e 06 one..hehehe

 

only recently i tot of getting a runner..and ttz long affter e roadshow...

[Reese]

6.5? for the 06 model? that is only the machine price rite? OTR should be more than $7K liao

all bikes come with problems... its a package deal

no bike is problem free

else bike workshops all close down liao

i duno abt u... but for me there's no such thing as i dun mind which model

as the bike cost a few thousand & its gona stay with me for quite a while so definitely i mux get something that i like, that i want

consider carefully b4 putting ur money on anything

[pipi]

hmm den i decide on the 06 design..

 

see wen free den go get it..

 

thanks for ur time anyway

ok goodluck

if got chance do try on both bikes b4 deciding

FYI, i bought my VXR in 2003 based on jux a pic in a magazine

only saw a few times on the road & never tried 1 b4 i bought it

 

off the record, i had wanted to get a Wave initially but i'll look hideously inproportionate on it

:sweat:

wat abt e price? 5.5 for a 2nd hand FY plate..mileage abt 30k

 

sorry to bother...thanks for replying mi

 

tink i prefer e old one..but e old one, the seat seems higher then e new one..

wah... FY plate still can sell for 5.5k ar? stock bike or modded? mine FY plate mileage goin 15k will sell for 5.5k... got many parts as well... hehe!!! but, still deciding whether to sell anot...

[anodise57]

wei jiemei.... wanna get runner ah????

 

Stick to your vespa la... hahahah

[Reese]

heard from bikeshop today lately '06 runners in demand

sold alot oredi but still seldom seen on road

all evading sunlight? :lol:

maybe that's why now bike COE so expensive...

heard oso that other than the outlook appearance, the only difference in the new & old VXR is the exhaust system

[adven7]

Heard that the waiting time is at least 1 month now as this new Runner does generate quite a few interest, maybe the sudden surge in COE prices last week.

 

Manage to see one or two Runner on the road since May and one caught my attention near Joo Chiat with whole body silver in colour including the box, absolutely stunning, it does capture the attention of other bikes.

 

Last week, I was literally chased by one wave rider purposely stop next to me at traffic light and ask about performance, price...etc and continue for a couple of traffic junction to ask more questions.

[Reese]

now COE $1001... ridiculous lor...

when i started riding it was only $1... at that time i still thot bikes no COE

now... haizz...

 

well... i checked with my bikeshop... they say take abt 2 working days to process... at the most 5 days can get bike liao

 

duno how true oso...

[nor_man]

dont think can get a new runner in a weeks time now as all stock are out, they waiting for next shipment,end of the month probably

[Guest devil's own]

Not really... I went back to the shop i bought my runner from, silver with race graphics still got stock. Also went to PSC earlier today, saw a few there too.

 

BTW pipi, I bought mine 06 runner about 3 weeks ago for 6550 without insurance.... comes with free E33 box, helmet & rain coat. Can consider taking this price as bench mark.

[Reese]

without insurance but inclusive of COE? now COE $1001 leh

if inclusive meaning the machine price only $5550? like not quite possible...

[WhiteOryx]

Which shop would that be??? Race graphic cost extra $100 rite?

[nor_man]

then i think only aspoon ran out of stock, it would be a little difficult to get a price of $6550 now as the coe had just gone up by $200 ,if u could better get it fast:thumb:
