Student Rider

[archpunk]

Hello.

 

Between KR, RXZ, Spark, and CBR150, which one of these is the easiest to maintain for a student like me who's working part-time? Plus everything else (petrol, etc) I earn around 400-500+ a month.

 

Thanks!

It's between spark n cbr150

 

Me i go with the ones with tank so at least i could save a lil money on petrol with a lil hassle by going overseas to fill up petrol.

 

Every savings counts when u earning a lil.

I vote for Spark

[Sharkboy]

cbr 150 would be ideal for you.

[crazydj]

You earn alot a month my friend. Get a bigger bike haha.

[jayz]

u shlld make a poll

 

i vote for spark too

[Isopropyl]

i think it boil down to spark and cbr.

 

servicing wise, i think spark will be cheaper and with the option to do it in malaysia as it is such a common bike. so if you are thinking of keeping the bike for long term, spark will be great.

 

i travel 50km for 5-6days a week to work. this does not include other outing plus schooling twice per week. Petrol cost me average $50-$60 plus monthly. i use cheapo SPC 92. i don't see you can save that much going to oversea for petrol with cbr even with a bigger tank unless you travel damn alot.

 

do take note of daily travelling timing. ERP can be pretty expensive too for bike nowadays.

go for rxz..easiest bike to maintain. engine when wise rxz best dem all..just ask those senior bikers, despatch riders apek with the side cars also.

 

spark 135 n cbr 150 cost quite a lot for a new set or 2nd hand if i sae we r looking at 5+ coe left..

 

my vote goes to rxz for 2 stroke or ybr for 4 stroke if ur looking at 1 also

[haoKR]

go for spark.

 

since u already shortlist some,its quite easy to choose now.

if u dun lyk kup,dan go for spark. if u mind,go for cbr

[archpunk]

cbr as in the old model or the new 2011 model? just curious...

[afiq661]

go for spark. most importantly, go for the one that suits your budget(spark is easy to maintain!)

[Zhroom]

Just to ask, why is Kr out of the list? Cbr is cheaper?

[haoKR]

ya lor..y kr out ah ?

my kr damn easy to maintain leh

fc around 30,2T 2-3mths 1 bottle

[xiaoviper]

Dont mind looks, go spark. If not, CBR150. Both good bikes. and yes, according to afiq, suit your budget.

You don't wanna be struggling with payments.

KRR about ~30km/L

SP about ~20km/L

 

Not too sure about CBR though.

KRR smooth ride, powerful. SP trembles quite a lot, strong pickup.

go test e 3 of them 1st

[Lighteden]

Spark for the cheapest and CBR if you want a sportbike look.

[BC]

rxz for ease of mind.

All three are a good options and you can choose the one that you like the most. I like Spark bikes so would have chosen that one, but pick the one that you will be able to maintain easily within the salary you are drawing every month. Have you thought about the Go-Go 3 wheel scooter as an option. It is very cost effective. Read up on it if you want.
