COE renewal for Rebel 125

[Eric19]

hi guys

 

my current ride, Rebel 125, is coming to its 10th year (mar 17) , bike condition is still good. only rode this bike for less tha 2 mths (just passed my 2B.)

Qns: Is it worth to renew COE for 10 or 5 years, (or for the fact is it worth renewing this bike). hope I can get some feedback from fellow memebers here.

 

thanks

depends ... you can pay the COE now for $1078 then scrap your bike when you get your CL2A to get back some of your COE value back or, scrap your bike when the time comes.

 

The COE value now is more then the what you can sell your Rebel for. So unless you are willing to lose some money on the Rebel, don't renew.

how much you bought your bike?

 

if its free from your uncle or dad's pass to you hmm and the condition is good i suggest to top up 10 years. There is still crowd for this bike. Cos its a super saver bike. 1 litre petrol goes 33km. WAHAHAHAHA. Next time can sell to malaysian they sure like it.

 

Just my opinion. But if the bike you buy exceeds the COE value then hmmm depend on how much you like the bike. But buy 5 years COE means killing the bike after COE ends which i hate that to happens cos Rebel is a good commuters bike.

 

But all and all still depends alot on condition.

 

Cheers and have fun riding rebel dude

hi bernard & isaac

 

Thanks for your feedback, just to share with you, i bought this bike in Dec 06 from a fellow forumer. Paid 200 for the bike. he's the first owner, and he rode for 9+ years.

 

Here'a a pic of the bike..

I am ok with the bike except for the power. I am still waiting for Mar PQP to see if its worth to renew. hope that it will drop below 1K.

 

cheers

Hi Eric,

 

Well to be frank i own a Rebel previously also. Its really dangerous to ride a less powerful bike as Rebel power really is that bad. But its reliable and economy. so depends on where you ride the bike. If you are riding alone on a quite road everyday to work then ok good for you. But you are still young rite. so this bike since you buy only 200. then just touch and go. Look for a better bike. If your rebel is a TW i will definately ask you to renew COE if the condition is good. But well for this Rebel you can still renew COE if its cheap or just sell it on the net cheap lor and ask the other owner to renew COE la.

 

Some old ppl might like it. As they ride slow also.

 

Sell it lor. best is sell and get back wat you have spend la. Just my point of view. Since touch a chopper have and feel already and its just 200 so just let it go and get a better bike. RXZ or TW as for sports bike i never ride small one before la so cannot comment. But RXZ very tough haha and many many spare parts. TW abit difficult. Phantom lor but very comment and i heard consumption high huh i dunno. haha. i only rode TW and Rebel for 2B.

 

Regards,

Bernard
