vespa so exp nowadays

[MooN_StaR]

vespa pricing has been like tat.

only variance is the COE...

[dafunshu]

Wah lau.....the COE is so high now. Would have got GTV250 if the COE is lower. damn.....

[Twelve]

Wah lau.....the COE is so high now. Would have got GTV250 if the COE is lower. damn.....

 

lucky for me....COE had dropped from 1250 to 1053. Save $199.

[narcx]

oh i was referring to gtv150 8.2k OTR.

 

anyway should i get a cheap nsr sp now and ride for a year + wait for gtv150 value to drop then buy it or jsut get it now ?? quite exp + insurance all that think should reach 9k

 

hey is there a gtv150? i called piaggio and they told me theres only gtv 125 and gtv250. kinda confused

[narcx]

Yes there is some more gt200 left once the stock finish they wont be coming in anymore

 

why arent they bringing in the gt200 anymore?

[narcx]

i saw in on a magazine $8200 OTR from wingyap or something i think

 

thanks faulk

nah dont get the sp. i sold mine a couple of months back and got a px. looking at the gtv too. dont think the price will drop anytime soon though

[MooN_StaR]

cos gtv125 & gtv250 came into sg

[MooN_StaR]

hey is there a gtv150? i called piaggio and they told me theres only gtv 125 and gtv250. kinda confused

 

 

not confusing at all

cos there is no gtv150

 

as per wat piaggio said, there is only gtv125 and gtv 250

[narcx]

oh thanks for the info... but the gtv and gt200 looks different and has different capacity... doesnt make sense to me. i would think not everyone will like the gtv over the gt200.

 

having said that, since its running out of stock, will the gt200 have a higher resale value in time to come?

[faulk]

oh sorry for the confusion , maybe i read wrong. maybe i should just get a vespa first ? cheaper than sp then change to gtv125 when its lower

[un-sith]

haha. i would hope so~ heh.

cos i'm riding a gt as well. the gtv looks really tempting.

[un-sith]

nah dont get the sp. i sold mine a couple of months back and got a px. looking at the gtv too. dont think the price will drop anytime soon though

 

hmmm, i dont really think prices will drop dramatically. At most a hundred or two. In a couple of years. But, coe might rise even higher! I will say.... spend now and enjoy the ride!!

 

2 cents

[bike4me]

u might want to try Ban Hon Bros or ASPhoon

 

Ban hon Bros dont sell vespa GT200 already

u can try future scootering they explain every thing quite clear to you

[babyling]

Hi there. just a quick check. how regularly do you guys pump the tires and how much air to pump for front & back? ET8.

[narcx]

haha. i would hope so~ heh.

cos i'm riding a gt as well. the gtv looks really tempting.

 

 

 

 

but the gtv is 125 so i think slightly underpowered.. unless you ahve 2A then go for the gtv250

[dammie]

Hi guys,

My insurance for my GT is due soon. May i know where u all get your insurance? From NTUC? Where would be the cheapest for a 26 year old? Tried searching but no results? Thanks in advance!

[shellshox]

Hi, am riding et8, today my batteries died, so cannot start engine, luckily near train station. So where can i buy replacement battery (cos my batt quite old already) near tiong bahru/ river valley area? What's a good brand? How much? And will the shops accept trade-in? Thanks for the help!

[Sharpey]

Trade in for Battery? Why would they want you're old battery??? If you mean will they help you dispose of your old one... then I guess (if you pay them to change it for you)

[Wildswans]

WHen i went to change my batt the other time, the shop say they need to charge it for a while....

Is it true?

[william_liu]

Yes, it is usually better to charge a brand-new battery before using.

If I'm not mistaken the first time you pour acid into the battery, there will already be some charge inside due to the chemical reaction.

But the battery will not be fully charged, that's why.

[un-sith]

dry is slightly more expensive than wet, around 10 dollars more.

wet is usually 50+-.

A normal one will be the yuasa(wrong spelling i think), taiwan made.

Better ones will be like varta.

life span will be more than a year @ least.

[1Seth1]

I've been using my wet cell for about 6 mths with no problems.. seems to be working fine even though i got lotsa stuff on it.. maybe i'm lucky i guess.. haha...
