Went down to some bike shop and boon siew to check out the bike and priced

 

Was inform that if any particular shop offer very cheap price for new bike, it might be a r-con bike. Such issue common in sg?

 

If purchase at arthorised dealer it will guarantee 100% genuine?

 

Saw a seller post "all are stock part". What does it mean?

Stock parts = Original Bike parts

Hmmm ok, if that's the case i would recommend buy new bike or 1-2 years old bike. The reasons are:

 

1. U r newbie to bike. If buy older bikes chances of getting carrot or bad bike are high coz u not sure how to check, unless u bring friend who knows about bike along.

 

2. U dun hav any plan to upgrade at the moment. So, newer bike should b good for u coz u will ride for long term.

 

Anyway, Cbf150 is a good choice, practical, low fuel consumption n low cost maintenence. To me, depreciation value for class 2b bikes are not as high as class 2a n 2. Even if u buy new one n sell it after few years, u will not lose much, provided u buy popular models, like cbf, wave, lc135 etc.

 

Dun worry about dropping new bikes. Even if u buy used bike n drop it, u oso feel heart pain coz it's ur first bike. So to me no difference.

 

yeah i agree buy those younger bikes less chance of getting scam. I bought a one year old bike previously, and then sold it after riding it for 1 year at a price higher than I bought it.
