the min down i heard for a new bike is 1.5k...

I think class 2 min. is $2k

[rhema83]

Say you take a $12000 loan for your bike. You need to pay $221 per month for 5 years, assuming 4% nominal annual interest compounded monthly. You pay $2652 in interest by the end of 5 years.

 

That amount doesn't even take into account insurance, road tax, parking, petrol, oil, maintenance, parts, etc. You need at least $500 a month in total.

 

I think I spend almost $200 on my NC29 per month on average, and it's already fully paid off.

Did you include a $500 early settlement fee? I tot my Spec3 break even but it did not, and eventually paid another 500 for nothing

[Mr wHo]

maCHINE PRICE = 12 K ON THE ROAD THE MOST FOR 03'

INSURANCE = UR AGE GROUP - ACCIDENTS - PREMIUMS - NCD CLAIMS = $600

PLUS MINUS.. U CAN CHECK WIT NTUC

ROAD TAX SUD BE AROUND 140 OR MORE..

 

WHAT I CAN SAY IS STAND BY 12 - 13 K

IF THERE IS BALANCE, CAN USE IT FOR AFTER MARKET STUFFS..

 

HOPE THESE HELPS..

HAVE FUN THINKING!

Heya bro, I believe you know Daniel, the Mito road racer?

 

Anyhoo, yes, I've been through what you've been through.

NS earn so less but own 1 bike. What I did was rethink my expenditures whilst keeping my stomach full and happy everyday; it's possible. For a passionate bike owner, I went back to the account books and struck off what I really don't need to spend on (for instance, fewer fast-food restaurant trips, etc...)

 

But that was last time. Now I still keep my expenditures in check though...

 

===

 

Anyways, back to the topic.

 

I can only state what the reviews (and forum members) have put it when they tested the pairs. CBR600 for the superb handling, R6 for the speed and technology.

 

Whereas for the litrebikes, not too sure though; gotta ask the lao-jiao 299'ers and track riders that I know. But for the asthetics, definitely the Yamaha.

[fufu]

from my pov 400cc is enough if u are not touring type or frequent track. if u like tracks.. heard from alot that 600cc is the best. but if u like touring and speed, go for 1 litre bike.. but to tell the truth, i feel my 1litre bike is under utilised in SG! must plan for some toruing

[shemish]

sorry, but im curious,

betweeen r6 and cbr600rr, lets say the latest model, which has more power? and which is worth more buying? and why?

[Anakin7744]

hey singkiwi thank alot of ur advise well i guess everyone here have a point give lot of valuable and useful advise for me . I guess mostly everyone here have decide for me which model should i choose, i guess R6 is out cause lot of comment that it's too firece and 1000cc bike not really useful in sg. I guess i should be getting cbr600 i dun like suzuki bike cause it's much heavily compare to others. i hope more comment coming in so that i can decide on it. I also wish to know for those who bought there big bike how much min down payment usually needed and which bike shop have reasonable price and services.

 

tot u already got a 600 for yrs?

Anybody using remus exhaust pls msg me at 82470605 need help urgently

[Goliath_26]

In terms of power,r6 has more torque power (good pick ups) but lacks abit on mid range power as compared to cbr6. So while in corners,bike may be abit torqy if dun accelerate properly. In terms of handling,cbr6 is way more easier to handle on track and road as compared to r6. So if u want ride a bike comfortably on track or road den go for cbr6 but if ur more to the extreme kinda person den go for r6. Overall, both bike is great so it depends on the preference of the rider itself.

seriously the peak power difference come comes in after 13+krpm. normal road on stock cbr6rr 5krpm already 80kmph.

 

r6: power surge at 10k+, so imagine the suprise u will get if u can't handle it.

looks gd.

more aggressive riding position vs cbr6rr.

usual yamaha heat issues

more electronics to cock up

 

cbr6rr: linear power delivery.(no sudden suprise)

mid range power outputs 5-10bhp higher than other 600cc

kick ass electronic steering damper

someone selling his, check out last few post on CBR600 thread.

[bikerboyd]

Let me continue the story. Im the Jeremy Teo that started this thread. I did not get a class 2 bike. I am driving a Lamborghini Aventador SV currently. Installment plan 1 year, zero downpay. My second car is a SLK 200 AMG, installment paid up already. 3rd car Lexus LFA awaiting shipment in 2 months time. And my wife is driving my Audi R8 at the moment after she crashed and scrap off my Nissan GTR nismo gt3.

 

After I read all your hurtful comments in the past, Im quitting off bikes as I realised I dont want to be a loser who has to always suntan and then get wet at same time. Anyways, time for me to go install my turbo Nos super jet fighter full system commander kit for my son's car, a McLaren F1, which is his first car after he pass his license just this morning. He wanted a R6 2013 but I told him "pui" dont ride bike, it is too expensive.

[foxin]

So what was the verdict? Yamaha 1L,600cc compared to Honda 1L, 600cc.

Personally I heard that Yammie generally have a rougher engine. Any guy here can comment on that? Just wanna work something out since I'm working my way up into cls2 and would like to know what to consider and what not to consider. :)

Kinda lost too

[JustRace23th]

For me, both bike are great... But if you are not the racer boy at heart type, get a CBR 600. Its easier for daily riding. Even i prefer the R6 compared to CBR600, the CBR 600 handle is better than the R6. However, the R6 has more power compared to the CBr600. Still, ride what you like..... you live once...
