Based on my personal opinion,

 

for styling,

1) EFI - which i thought would be easier to tune if the shop got necessary tools and equipment

2) monoshock - cornering more stable, safer but sacrifice underseat storage

3) engine - i assume it's more high tech and up-to-date than super4?

 

for less problematic and proven bike:

it would be super4 simply because it's everyone's choice.

 

to learn wheelie and pop at every traffic light:

there are tonnes of ways to customise the bike.

 

as for my 2 favourite 2A bike,

xjr comes with ohlins shock. that's the selling point i always hear.

[marzocchi]

honestly, never ever say u dun intend to change bike soon. always anticipate that u will change. i always feel that buying 1st hand is quite a waste of money, unless u really love the feeling of holding a brand new key and start for the first time, if not, why pay few k for that shiokness? i believe a 1-2 yr old bike cant be that less reliable right?

 

well if u wana buy for track/race purpose, that's a totally different ball game.

[DustyDii]

very interesting indeed. good one ch. thanks! haha

[AsHaRiE]

hahahha.. CH.. u forgot the undisputed Aprilia RS250.. I would get that bike if i got the money.. ~ Money Money Money..in a Rich man's world.. ~

[C.S]

so

wadi

wadi u think about a bandit? (for everything else)

 

it has mono shock (good cornering)

it is carburettor (uncles in motor shops know wat to do)

it is not as common as super 4 (who wants to be same as HW and ASH? definitely not with emo cat)

it is a sports tourer (touring, road use, up to u)

 

and i dunno why u feel bandit is big, but not super4

aren;t they the same?

[DustyDii]

hmm it just look like bandit the tank area kinda big leh for me. its an option ah. the other guy riding the black bandit. i think its nice ah.

Motorcycles help keep you young: software expert

 

TOKYO (AFP) - - Riding motorcycles helps keep drivers young by invigorating their brains,

the scientist behind popular "Brain Training" computer software said Wednesday, citing a

new scientific study.

"The driver's brain gets activated by riding motorbikes" in part because it requires heightened

alertness, Ryuta Kawashima said after his research team and Yamaha Motor conducted a

string of experiments involving middle-aged men.

 

"In a convenient and easy environment, the human mind and body get used to setting the

hurdle low," he warned. "Our final conclusion is that riding motorcycles can lead to smart ageing."

 

Kawashima is the designer of "Brain Training" software, which incorporates quizzes and other

games and is available on the Nintendo DS game console under the name "Brain Age" in North

America.

 

A self-professed motorcycle fan, 49-year-old Kawashima cited a new study conducted jointly

by Yamaha and Tohoku University, for which he works.

 

One experiment involved 22 men, all in their 40s and 50s, who held motorcycle licences but

had not taken a ride for at least a decade.

 

They were randomly split into two groups -- one asked to resume riding motorcycles in everyday

life for two months, and another that kept using bicycles or cars.

 

"The group that rode motorbikes posted higher marks in cognitive function tests," Kawashima said.

 

In one test, which required the men to remember a set of numbers in reverse order, the riders'

scores jumped by more than 50 percent in two months, while the non-riders' marks deteriorated

slightly, he said.

 

The riders also said they made fewer mistakes at work and felt happier.

 

"Mental care is a very big issue in modern society," said Kawashima. "I think we made an

interesting stir here as data showed you can improve your mental condition simply by using

motorbikes to commute."
