ST200 Review

[Allizzwell]

Hi all, anyone ST200 riders able to provide some ST200 reviews?

i am riding a phantom now and thinking of changing to ST200. I will be very grateful if you all can post the pros and cons of a ST compared to phantom.

 

Basically i am intending to ride the new bike for at least 3years. mainly is for transportation purpose. is it recommendable to change it from phantom? please advise! thanks! (:

8 liters tank. 24km/l.

 

Every 12000km change bel, roller and clips, oil, oil filter, transmission oil.

 

Cost package for above is usually at 180-240.

 

Like it just buy. It's pointless to ride a bike because other people say it's nice. Most important is that u must be happy and ride ur ride.

thanks for the feedback!

definitely i like the bike thats why i put it into consideration when i want to get a long term transport bike.

but on the other hand, i need to make sure i have adequate knowledge of the bike first before i make the committment. afterall, i hate to regret my decision. (:

really thank you very much for the feedback

 

anyway, heard that the bike have some quality issue such as, water leaking into petrol tank due cap, oil leaking into coolent due overheating and wire screwed? any comment on these issue? also, anybody can tell me the top speed for the bike? thanks a million!

Water leaking into fuel tank. design issue. the rubber o ring design is reverse. Thus the water going in. Italy don't have much rain, so they are not aware. We already have local improvement. There are already Plastic cover for it. It kinda solve the problem.

 

Oil leaking into coolant. Not that I heard of since the first gen machine. This one is depeds on how u ride. If u ride to the limit, never take care, never change old coolant. I think every bike will end up the same. Just ride within the bike design limit. A 2B is still a 2B after all. please don't ride like 2A or class 2.

 

As long U don't do major mod to the engine, I think it's gonna last.

 

Wiring. Well.............

 

Italian machine is like that. Once a while signal don't work. This is due to dirt cumilated at switch contact point. Just WD40 them or use contact cleaning.

 

Every make got it quirks.

 

Anyway, Just ask urself truthfully what u want. Cheap? low FC? Low maintenance? then Runner is not for u.

 

Want nice styling, feel good and happy with what u want. Then get Runner.

Hi, I've been riding it for 1 year++, the only problem I encounter was water leaking into fuel tank... Not once but 3 times despite having the aftermarket cover... To solve the issue, I applied sealant all around the screw holes and in between the contact point of the cover and the fuel cover.. It solved the problem now...

And yeah, I think auto bikes needs tender care on the belting parts and when the time comes you must change the belt and rollers etc2..

Overall, the bike is reliable and is serving me well for transportation from Tampines to Clementi 6 days a week.. Last but not least.. It's all stock...

Happy riding..
