Noobie need help

[Apek Touring]

Hi guys!!

 

I need advice on these choices.

I am a newbie and i intend to buy a new bike. I'm stayin in Jb and i have to travel

In and out via Tuas.

 

I need a bike that can go long distances and also has power.

 

My choices are:

1) SYM GTS 200

2) Piaggio MP3

3) Aprillia RS4

4) Pulsar 200

 

I would like to take into account that the bike to have readily available accessories and legal mods available in market such as lta compliant exhaust sytems

 

Pls advise

Maybe u wanna try the sym cos

1) JB has many motorshops that service and do these bikes.

2) Jb to tuas n back i think surely no probs even with pillion.

3) Power wise, i believe cruising 100km/h for this bike is no probs n overtaking to rev above 110km/h also no probs.

4) If checkpoint jam, u just throttle n relax no need to play clutch so no so tired n stressed.

 

the aprillia rs4 is just a 125 its top speed if i'm not mistaken is just 110jm/h it is damn underpowered.

Just look glamourous that is all.

 

Piaggio i have no experience but if u break down or need parts repaired when u are in JB, good luck finding a reliable

motorshop to help u out.

 

The bajaj pulsar seems to be bullet proof n reliable but i'm not sure about the parts in JB.

 

Above are just my POV so excuse me if anyone gets offended.

 

btw for the aprillia it will be tough luck too if u have probs cos who the heck buys aprillia in JB? Unless u r in KL or some datuk son who rides the bike for fun. N JB mechanics will look at the bike n shake their heads.

 

So better choice is the sym n u can get it at not bad prices 2nd hand here on garage sales or sbf's bikemart.
