are you riding any bike now? If no, get a 2nd hand R3 or anything that your wallet can tahan.. then from there pass cl2 you can "consider" again from there..

bear in mind, most class 2 not suitable in Singapore as it's heavy.. FC too expensive.. maintenance.. so usually people stick with 2A bikes for long run.. up to individual pocket..

Most of my friends who ride CL2 either change to car & 2B or car only or 2A only..

Depending on wats ur usage lor.. tbh in SG 2B more than enough liao.. the most get up to 2A.. haha get 2nd hand to play with it 1st la..

[sookainian]

BIke for me is just a weekend getaway as i already have a car for daily. Although i have a car, it doesnt mean im rich hor... hahas...

I did consider getting a 2nd hand class2a but the current 2nd hand market pricing i feel is crazy. Everyone trying to make a profit or something. It's like more worth getting new. But new bike the COE is currently 11k and i can't bare to pay 11k for a paper... 

Stress

Icic.. then just get a 2nd hand left with 5 years COE lor.. choose those with reasonable pricing/no maintenance/respray required.. Just ride weekends..  

No wor, only some 2A bikes is overpriced, identical to brand new bike pricing..  (those 1-2 year old) with upgrades parts and etc..Mileage about 40-60k (about time to check valve clearance)

So based on your preferences.. sports bike? naked bike? budget below 15k? or lesser.. dun be shy... honestly.. I'm looking for cheap CL2 bikes also.. haha.. less then 5k.. but COE usually left with 1 year..  So reconsidering my options for the time being.. CL2 license haven't obtain also.. hahahaha..

I'm not shy to share... only scared people think newbie trying to show off and start off with CL2. The reason why i took up bike license is to fulfill my long dream...

I already put deposit for a CL2 bike. If the deal does go thru, I'm looking at Q1-Q2 2024 collection. Provided I pass my C2 by then... 

So I'm currently looking for a beginner bike to build my experience/confidence. I'll most likely end up keeping this bike too and it will be my training/daily bike. I just can't bare to pay for the COE now... especially if the bike to COE ratio is like 1:1 or cost more than the bike itself...

Any 2nd hand sportbike to recommend?

Juz get a 2B for now n play lor.. anything 150cc is more than enough even if u go jb.. bike to coe ratio now is more like 1:2... 

U can look at yamaha r15 or ktm rc200.. go carousell see see for 2nd bike lor.. best is if u bring someone experienced when u buy the bike unless u're a pretty hands on person urself la

with most CL2 bikes, its always in the >100bhp range.
power weight ratio is way higher compare the training bikes

in USA, where riders have unlimited use for all bikes from the straight, its always not difficult to see riders crashing on their 1st bikes..  so many YT vids on why not to buy a 600/750/1000 sportsbikes as your 1st bike.

if your budget allows, get 1 bike, thats within the same category as your CL2 that you DP for.
definitely needs to get used to posture of the same category, even its a scooter where its just tot comfort and easy to ride but its also different from the training bikes, especially the brakes on both levers..

the posture and fell of the bike, is very huge especially when its a HIGH hp bike..
NOT uncommon to see owners crashing their new big bikes, even friends with their sky high mileage bikes: S4s/Kups/Scooter.. also cannot avoid some MisQues when they jumped onto their R1/CBR/GSXr/S1R/ZX10r

bike being your weekend blast, skills could be as rusty as some of their who have their OPC and serious seen some that drives like NEWBIE even when they have their license for years..

muscle memory plays a BIG part in riding and defensive riding is only true-ly learned when its practiced on a VERY regular basis..

Human tends to cut corners easier unless the brain is wired "to do the Correct thing even when no-one is watching"
