New or Used Bike for new rider.

[Hasifi]

Hi all,

I'm currently looking to purchase a bike but I'm stuck in between on whether to get a new bike or a used one.

Not planning to take 2A or 2 and I'm planning to mainly use it for commuting for home to work and vice versa.

Hoping to get some inputs from the experience riders out there.

Are you new to riding? Yes? 2nd hand. Sure drop the bike one… so buy a older bike to get used to it first

get a used bike, do some refurbishment of the parts that can get worn, change tires and then ride for 1-2 years then you’re ready for a new bike if you want. 
 

Rode before want to ride again? Just get a new bike if you never ever want to get 2A

To me.. brand new bikes usually have its pros

3 years no need inspection?

all bike brand new got warranty…

 cons- any thing u do might void it’s warranty..

 

so I go straight for 2nd hand..

Decided to go with FZS v3 instead. Initially wanted CB190x but the noises I'm getting regarding the issues they getting prevent me from getting it.

ehhh.. not recommended also.. it's considered as air-cooled as well..

In Singapore.. recommendation will be water cooled bikes..
