Advice needed for first timer

[tkleong]

dear all,

 

am thinking to get myself a cruiser for the first time after stopping riding motorcycles (just scooter) many years ago. currently only holding 2b license, so can't go beyond 200cc, though I like some of the higher cc cruiser, at least not for now (until i get my new license).

 

did some research, seem to like Honda Phantom TA200, which is one of the rare cruiser below 200cc. however, just realized that they no longer produce this and can only get a used bikes. I prefer newer (if not brand new, or not too old) as I am very worry about maintenance issues.

 

hence, i am seeking all the experts' advice here...

 

1. other than TA200, any other good choice of cruiser (below 200cc) available?

2. Is Daelim Daystar Classic a good alternative? But the cc seems a bit low, only 125cc (or 150cc?)

3. if I have to get a TA200, for ease of maintenance, what is the maximum mileage, max years, etc to get? and at what price range?

 

hope that I am not asking too many questions and really hope that some members/experts here can help me with my questions. Thanks in advanced.

 

Regards,

Raymond
