I just bought mine from southern 2 months ago and it was only 13200k. But then your insurance should be cheaper than mine coz i only 21yr. So by right should be a bit cheaper like 13000k. Just some comments. Cheers

if i'm not wrong COE price is getting higher..... $300 to $500 to $700.....

 

normally insurance is in age group and not yr by yr.... think 21 and 22 fall in the same group.....

 

machine price (exclude everything) was S$12k+ if i'm not wrong....

 

ask around for more quote, dun be in a hurry to buy, get a friend along to help stop u from jumping in.... it can be very tempting to c your dream bike jus sitting there even at a higher price.......

 

please correct me if any of the above is not correct or up to date...

 

hope this helps.....

price sounds okay, you might want to check with other bike shops and see who can offer a better deal...

GHC is the shop. Sales person is Peng. Official import from Boon Siew. 3 free servicings includes oil and oil filter (meaning you save about another $150). Comprehensive insurance included (but I'm 40yrs age so lower premium). Don't know what's the price today, though.

 

PS. interest @ 4%

Hi all S4 expert.

2more months to my 2a and would like to enquire about S4.

 

I want to get a good deal when i am buying a new s4 but i not sure about what sould i check.

 

Any expert here can tell me what good questions should i ask the seller? in order to see whether the deal is worhy.

[duckit]

I think its the same for all bikes .

 

First check the most impt part that is the engine , ask someone who rides a S4 or experience rider to go down with you. Any funny sound etc.

 

Next, check those basic stuffs , such as tyres, brake rotors, spockets and chain, any suspension leakin and hardness or softness, aligments of the handle bar , any special welding or the main frame.

 

And appearance wise , placed it last . External can be done , internal more impt.

 

Try go back to the first pages of this super 4 Section and start reading up on them as they are common question that pple usually enquiry and most are being answed aready. It really helps, wanna know more , read more !!!

 

Hope it helps

nothing to check if u buying first hand... but jus make sure everything is stated in black and white clearly b4 u sign it... do check out with the the Super 4 owners where to buy the bike from to have a better deal...

if u r buying 2nd hand... especially from a private seller... bring the bike to ur trusted mechanic and let them check and test ride... if u dun have any mechanic u can trust.. u can PM me.. i can introduce u ...

[baobao23]
