[OhMiGosh]

hahabusa :X cheap insurance too ^^

[Deltaboi]

yamaha bikes r good....

 

but r on the hot category....

 

can consider...good handling!

 

[kanPuaSlowRider]

that leaves you with kawa, suzuki or yamaha being the more popular brands...triumph, daytona or ducati for more exotic choices...

[DM]

all bikes suck if you don't take care of them. no bikes are maintenance free, you either get a high maintenance or low maintenance bike. used bikes tend to have more problems too.

[Me_No_Money]

mayb its poor luck tat u got a poorly maintained bike.

[Lass]

only heard abt e coil problem for cbr1k other than tat, mostly no complaints abt honda bikes unless like wat others said, either u r just unlucky to hv gotten rotten bikes or it's due to poor maintainence.

All ur bike experience is sportbike.. I dun believe honda gives many problem if u take good care of it especially sportbike.. Also, u did not mention whether those honda bike u got are second hand or first hand.. Second hands confirm got more maintenance needed.. N overall is how u take care of the bike thus even if u get other brand, the same prob might just arise again..

 

-my opinion

[OhMiGosh]

i dont agree with wad u say.. take the super4s for example.. people ride 10 over years engine still good good..

[FunkyChicken]

both the cbr 400 and 929 are old bike. maintenance iz a muz, religiously service and internal wear and tear after certain mileage need to be replace for optimum performance of the engine. for cbr1000 coil problem... aka time bomb machine, but rated best bike in handling.

 

but i suggest u get a suzuki if u wan something for a change.

Now, would you rather have a coil go kaput or have other problems like cracking frames, oil consumption, bad QC, etc?

 

If you do enough research, you'll find that Honda bikes usually have better quality and reliability.

I have ridden Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki before. All 3 brands I like...

 

1) Honda

 

Adv

- Best handling and I can bring it straight to kent ridge road and have lots of fun even riding it for the first time.

 

Cons

- Well known for coil and rectifier problems.

- Not enough power when you stop beside a yammie at a redlight.

 

2) Suzuki

 

Adv

- Holds well during corners and makes you feel very stable.

- Adequate power to superglue to a yammie's tail.

 

Cons

- Sluggish handling.

 

3) Yamaha

 

Adv

- Pulling wheelies and picking up speed has never been a problem.

 

Cons

- Got to relax on the throttle during bends and this crazy horse will tank slap you and send you flying off your seat.

 

You know your bike, you ride by it's character, you get a hell lot out of it!

Just my humble opinion...

[stsoh]

kawa claimed it's bikes r designed for street.

unlike hon, suz, yam which r made for racing.

tat's why u don't see kawa winning races but on street they r the best.

Yeah, add 30K more on top of a F4 and I can get a JDM REX le...

[DM]

wah.. all the bikes you people recommend so "cheap" ah?

 

back on topic, like what everyone else is trying to say, it doesn't matter what brand of motorcycle you ride. Maintenance and care from the owner will strongly affect the machine's performance/ reliability.

[WingZer0]

but sometimes also cannot blame the owner.......maybe he also suay one...always kena the problematic bikes...
