Sportsbike dilema! Kawasaki KRR150 or Yamaha R15 or Honda 150SP???

[kimchiboy]

Hello i just got my class 2B and im looking at 2nd hand sports bike.

This is my first time buying bike so i dont really know what to consider when deciding a bike.

 

Right now i have come to 3 choices: Kawasaki KRR150 or Yamaha R15 or Honda 150SP

 

My friend mentioned kawasaki insurance is relatively higher. is that true???

Im 22 yr old this year btw

 

Can anyone help advise which bike should i choose? currently im more inclined towards Yamaha r15 cause its appearance appeals best to me :/

 

It will be nice if anyone can provide info on things like fuel consumption, bike maintenance cost, spare part prices etc...

R15 win all in fc maintain parts.

[greatmole]

r15 for me the rest all so old

[jayz]

do you intend to upgrade to 2A after 1 year?

 

*your budget?*

 

you buy bike for?

 

sports bike fc dont expect much i guess?

 

maintainance, parking, petrol, accessories, road tax, insurance, inspection

 

bike not easy leh.

 

you see from outside you will think nothing much to do but there is actually quite alot

 

but to answer to your question is definitely r15.

 

 

 

 

*most important

i dont intend to upgrade to 2A. at least for now... who knows i might really fall deep in love with bikes after riding for 1 year haha

budget wise: 3k plus (inclusive of insurance, coe, road tax, bike, everything la~) Possible?

Personally i favor R15 too haha

[kimchiboy]

R15 win all in fc maintain parts.

fc = fuel consumption.

[kimchiboy]

ok i guess i will go with R15

anyone got an idea of whats the market rate for R15? i dont want to get ripped off for my first bike purchase haha

just a rough estimation of price range will do...

[jayz]

browse thru the used bike thread in this forum.

 

dont buy on impulse or you might regret it.

 

i wish u all the best

3k budget hard to get for r15, mostly price ranges 4k and above for second hand r15 for the bike only.

You want SPEED but OLDIES, go for HONDA SP

You want FASTER SPEED but Fuel consuming, go for KRR

You want SPEED and Fuel economy, go for R15

[ahcaibiker]

if going for r15 go go v2, split seat, fatter tyres, looks much better than v1.

[Hydher]

Id you can afford, go for the R15. Better fc and its a 4 stroke.

 

Kawa and sp will be faster than the R15 if that matters to you.

Your taxes will be higher if its a COE renewed bike.

You'll have oily hands from dealing with 2t and the need to clear carbon.

At the end of the day, 3K is just not enough to look into any newer 2nd hand range. R15 v1, R15v2, CBR150'11, R125, RS125, RS4..

[The Rage Guy]

hi guys, im also interested in r15, i see from the bikemart a new one is 5.5k, but i see ppl selling at 7,8k ? anyone can advise a new one on the road price?

[AhHengQYH]

Get KRR150 once in a lifetime get the feel of riding 2 stroke bike and the awesome speed of a 2b bike. Cheap somemore maintainence done properly not much problem and won't cost much also.

[nenek]

KRR 150. KRR150. only that bike.

[edwinwu91]

rode kr and sp before. i think kr good. sp can also but no more original parts alr, they use RR parts for sp nowadays i heard ( RR is older series of SP i think). kr everything can be easily get, i mean the stocks. for r15 of course good, the fc good cause 4 stroke. but acceleration no good i guess. got pros and cons ba. but 2 stroke i guess better cause if you upgrade (if la), all bikes are 4 strokes. you get what i mean...
