May I know which shop quote you this price? I thought of buying this bike. I'm afraid of the maintenance price. Well some bike the machine price can be cheap but when come to maintenance wise, it will cost a bomb. Correct me if im wrong.

hi nora, i was quoted at Wing Yap Motor at ang mo kio branch there.

 

got myself a 2nd hand cbr150r after looking around in garage

 

the cbf looks bigger than the cbr btw.

 

 

resshin, mind to update us the top speed after your running in later? thanks

bro..i can't guarantee to ride the bike yet...cos there might be a dispute with the price of the bike.

 

the seller quoted me 4.6k otr...but in the end, he added another COE of $1001. according to a few lao jiaos i asked, they say their understanding of OTR is including COE...thus i might check with them about the price again...

 

btw, anyone know what i can do? i have down $800, paying by 36mths installment, but haven sign the gurantor form yet.

OTR is the price which includes EVERYTHING. As the abbreviation says, ON THE ROAD. You need to have COE, road tax, insurance and the misc to legally ride ON THE ROAD.

So that lao jiaos is correct loh.

This bike is like its bro CBF1000. One of the bigger bike for 2B catogory. Comparable to bajaj.. Only thing that worries me is spare parts for it since its a really new bike. Not even a month here..

[R3sshin]

i already down 800 liao..

GREAT Promotions For CBF150 !!!

Great News to all bikers!!!

 

CBF150 is having a promotion. The SRP for this bike is $3200 and on top of that it comes with 12 months unlimited mileage warranty.

 

So HURRY, the bike is available at all outlets !!!

[R3sshin]

may i know what is a SRP?

[wanjai]

Personally I have poor impression of a Honda 150c.c. bike from China that have a top speed of only 96km as stated in the tech specs.

 

Even Wave125 or Spark135 can beat that kind of speed.

I am not sure if it is true, but from the catalogue, '07 super 4's will have a shaft final drive. Dunnoe whether true or not.

 

Cheers

This is confirmed with Boon Siew that it is an error in printing.

srp stands for suggested retail price. sounds like machine price to me.

[R3sshin]

i took the cbf 150 out for a spin just now.

feels good, quite smooth, but kinda to the heavy side.

 

gear 1 response was good. change gear jerk is not to strong. brakes can work la, thought leaves much to be desire.

 

speed-wise, now cannot determine cos i still doing run-in.

 

bros and sis with qns about cbf 150, i will try to answer them.

the seller's OTR is everything from gst+rd tax+IU+transfer+accessories+agreement fee+reg fee+machine.

 

coe and insurance count seperately cos according to the seller, insurance and coe are variables, so cannot add to the total price.

 

the thing is i went to other shops and ask for the same quotes and condition(i.e $800 down and 36 mths installment). in the end, i got a +/- $380 difference from other shops, which means the price given to me is "around" market price.

 

this i can understand cos obviously different shops have different ways of doing business . some shop may add u different funny funny stuff like agreement fee, transfer fee and gst while other shops don't. all this "non-compulsory" items add together cost me about $380-$400, but this is also the money they earn to feed their stuff, so i can kinda understand this point.

 

as long as the price i get is around the market price for the same model, i am still alright with it. take it as paying for a learning experience lor..

went at a higher speed today.

cornering through the cte(sle) tunnel today was very dangerous.almost hit the side wall. not sure because of my riding skill or the bike is succumable to swerving due to the wind. even on a straight road, going at higher speed with some wind can push you to one side.

 

the stock front brake oso not eating well. sometimes need to brake quickly the front brakes is not as good as those at driving centres. maybe will check it out when i change my first EO.

 

have to take note of this and be more careful.

[R3sshin]

oh yea. i think i managed to do a 100km/h for a short while today.

[rajayusman]

wat do u mean for a short while? heh.

normal 'comfortable cruising' is how fast?

and wat about your fuel consumption bro?

is it as good as it was stated?

haha..a short while means 5 seconds. cos i don't wanna kana ork kong on my 4 day of riding.

 

comfortable crusing at 80-90km/h is not a problem. in fact i increase the max speed to 110km/h today. so the myth of 97km/h is kinda busted.

 

FC wise, i just pump full tank at jb today. haven really guage how good is the FC. but think about it, in the morning i pump about 5L in singapore with a near empty tank, then i travel to LTA to SIR to LTA back again, then go to JB all the way. when in JB, i only manage to pump about 6+L when the full tank is 11L. so it seems alright for now. will update when i tested out the FC.

 

btw, can anyone advise on how to check the FC? i already pump full tank plus clear the mileage today.

FC = Total trip travelled b4 the new pump /number of litre of new pumped petrol.

Is the riding postures comfortable? the handling easy? I sat on CBF150 on Universal Motor while it was parked on the mainstand once, I felt it is quite a big bike. Feels like a big cruiser.

its a very smooth bike. riding posture is something like those bikes u get in driving centres, those sit up types.

speeding at 110km/h, the handling was relative easy, cos the handle bar is quite stable.

 

yea..i always tell my friends, the CBF 150 is the nissan cefiro of motorcycles...haha...cos its so spacious. i pillon people around and their body hardly touches mine.haha

[Ny0ng1]

Hi r3sshin, 110kmph is at full throttle? does it redlining on the rpm yet?
