Should i own the bike in MY or SG? Need advice

[bbbiker27]

i've a honda PCX160 scooter for fulfilling daily commuting needs now, plan to upgrade to liter sportbike

The cost of a new liter sportbike around 80k sgd and for the same sportbike cost around 150k in Malaysia.

Pros of getting SG bike, i get to ride daily.

Cons: Higher price than Malaysia. 

Vice versa if owning in Malaysia

I have the same idea as you previously. The downside of owning the Liter sport bike in Malaysia, will you or be intending to travel to Malaysia every weekend? How safe or how much more are you willing to pay for "safe parking"? 

after 1 year of weekly travel to Malaysia, will you still intend to continue to do that or might stop? Then the bike might be just staying there nothing but you paid so much for it. + parking fee continue until you sold it off.

after taking all above as consideration, I decided to put off that idea. And have to have connection all across everywhere, a bit too troublesome to my liking.

I'm Malaysian SPR who's daily commuting from MY to SG daily for work. I think i should probably get a bike in SG since i get to spend more time with it

wait wait, if you have a house in Malaysia and since you travel daily back to Malaysia, a CL2 bike in Malaysia sounds more logical (no restriction on 10 years) + no restriction on modification + cost. LOL. Singapore 2B more than enough. 

 

if I'm you. 

Work - ride Singapore 2B bike to and from Malaysia and Singapore.

Weekend ride outl with your CL2 in Malaysia, since you already stay there and have a house

family time/shopping - car
