Introduction / What Should I Go With?

[solisity]

Nice bike man!

 

After what iVy mentioned I was starting to get worried about finding my ride. However, I am still grateful for that early warning she gave me.

 

And now, after reading nage’s post, steady!! True, true I do find your Suziki Intruder 125 VERY appealing.

The factors that attracted me to the Honda Shadow 125 in the first place is the beautiful exhaust pipe that almost extendes to the end of the rear wheel. Also, the sound of the engine, seat position, size, etc. On an overall, the rugged look of power.

 

Basically, nage u are right. I'll love any ride similar to the Honda Shadow 125. Your own ride has all the features I admire too. (Except I do not know about the engine sound yet.)

 

With regards, I'll be on the look out for any other similar rides so I can expand my choices when purchasing.

You might wanna check out the other cruisers too like Daelim Daystar and Magma, Rebel 125, I think Bajaj has one called Avenger. Hmm...what else. Can't seem to think of anything else at the moment. Phantom....

ok bro.. thanks for e compliment.. aniwae i was like u last time.. i was searching for a cruiser bike.. first in my choice is e daystar.. but then i went to a shop.. n there u have it.. side by side 3 cruisers.. honda shadow 125.. suzuki intruder 125 n daelim daystar 125.. i actually tried out all 3 bikes.. seating on them.. test riding it.. after careful consideration..

i chose e intruder bcoz it is e most "sporty" looking of all e 3.. it's like we are young.. so image n style is of course important.. somemore u are in poly n i can safely say u are in yr early 20s or late teens.. cruiser bikes haf a reputation of being an "uncle's" bike no offence.. but as i love cruisers n intending to ride one. . of course i heck care but at e same time it doesn't hurt to get a cruiser which is rather "sporty" n hip looking.. so in e end.. Intruder 125 became my 2B cruiser of choice.. n just for yr info. .many ppl mistakes my bike for a harley haha.. no kidding.. but after firing it up.. e sound of e engine gave it away.. haha.. not bcoz it is not loud.. but it doesn't haf e unique sound of a harley..

oh n btw.. e reason i bought it is also bcoz it is e cheapest of e 3.. e shadow being e most expensive.. e most stylist but e most cheapest.. haha.. kla.. aniwae all e best for yr bike search.. any qn about e bike.. feel free to pm me

Thanks buddy, and to all the rest of the Ladies/Gents.

 

Basically when I just set foot in here, I was pretty lost in the woods. Now, at least I've got my direction right.

 

It does not matter if its an "uncle's" bike. I believe so long you like something, just go with it! Likewise, its your own style man. Everyone has theirs and each is cool. Crusiers are the way for me because I like the way their engines purr, I like the seating posture as well. It is far-fetched saying this but I'd like to go on a road trip one day, now that'll be steady.

 

I've looked at some prices for a 2nd hand Suzuki Intruder 125 and its 3k-ish. Heing.. at least can afford!!!

Though the seat, can it sit a pinion rider?

And last but not least, any good motor shops?

 

Cheers!

Found that out. Looks like there is the option of either placing or removing the back seat.
