Which 2b bike?

[roseonfire]

Hey all.. im in a big dilemma right now..been riding a old cbr 150 for close to a year aredi.. thinking of changin bike tis august..

 

But very confused..

 

Should i get tzm(my dreambike) or gilera or spark or x1? Im seriously very confused.. any1 got ideas? I jus need a bike for transport & for fun riding.. not for speeding or racing or watsover. Im tired of my current bike. Thats why i wanna change bike .. thanks.. any ideas.. help..

what is stopping you from getting your dream bike?

 

i mean if there is nothing stopping you, then get your dream bike then

[Jacq]

I dun think TZM is a good choice coz quite old liao.

[roseonfire]

u say go for ur dreams.. u see d next person say tzm old bike.. dis is wat many of my frens say.. dats wat is stopping me.. ahakz. so stil nt sure..

[roseonfire]

[NSRog]

if u have a lot of money to spare, go ahead with your dream bike. an old tzm can e restore to pristine condition ma.

[guanjie]

get ur dream bike..

dun regret later..

wanted to get mito, but there weren't any good sales when i wanted one..

so i settled for my 2nd choice.. after i got my rs125 everyone wanted to sell their mitos.. sigh..

but now the relationship between me n my rs is improving graduallly as i understand the bike more day by day heh

 

get the tzm.. maintenance wise is still affordable so i don't see why not..

theres a couple of ft or fs plates on sale

gilera? its fun and fast.... can mod the looks....

[guanjie]

u say go for ur dreams.. u see d next person say tzm old bike.. dis is wat many of my frens say.. dats wat is stopping me.. ahakz. so stil nt sure..

 

lets just say u get a lousy tzm, which i doubt it'll be that bad since u have riding experience and given that u know about bikes u can check for:

- stock parts?

- valve

- brakes

- wirings

- cosmetics

- a lil about engine

 

what i'll suggest is, if u're paying in full, pay 70% of the amount. than tell the seller the rest of the 30% would be a form of warranty. shall the bike give u any unknown problems than deduct the repairs from there.

 

like i was saying, even if u get a lousy tzm, overhaul, rewirings, valve etc would not be expensive(as compared to mitos and rs). furthermore it would be much cheaper if u do it in jb too..

[roseonfire]

gilera too common nw.. every1 wants gilera.. sigh.. tzm la d best.. ahakz.. but but have to hunt for a good one..

[roseonfire]

but i ever tried my fren's tzm.. can nv start it.. kick start leceh ar.. haiz

[guanjie]

but i ever tried my fren's tzm.. can nv start it.. kick start leceh ar.. haiz

 

you'll get use to it once u get the feel.. when i first got my sp also.. like fool.. kick soft soft.. once u get the "biting point" just kick soft and swift than it'll be a breeze

[guanjie]

gilera too common nw.. every1 wants gilera.. sigh.. tzm la d best.. ahakz.. but but have to hunt for a good one..

 

ya.. gilera is too common nowadays.. but there are substantial reasons to believe why too.. cos its fast, convenient, low maintenance and whole loads of stuffs u can mod with it

[roseonfire]

ohhh.. ermm.. but d spare parts are expensive i heard ? dunno la eh.. i better go start surveying..

[guanjie]

ohhh.. ermm.. but d spare parts are expensive i heard ? dunno la eh.. i better go start surveying..

 

maybe more exp than sp, but def cheaper than rs125s and mitos lol

[roseonfire]

Lol.. rs125..i hate dat bike so much. dun ask me why. haha

[guanjie]

eh im offended

its a nice bike to ride.. my feelings for it is growing..

i hated it initially too, the looks of it was simply off.. but it grows on me.. at least for me haha

[roseonfire]

i alwys see it as a problematic bike.. esp d starter.. dunno why la.. most of my frens got problem wit it. Not all la. ahakz.. but ya.. no matter wat.. wen we own sumthng we tend to love it regardless of d flaws.. but wen have sold it away or wat.. we will bring up all d negative things abt it.. haha

[Dos]

am riding a rs125 too.

 

so it makes 2 person that she have offended :X

 

i also went for my dream bike, although the parts are not cheap, but i guess it makes me treasure it more, makes me want to take care of it more.

 

I hope you don't get turn off by hear says, like what i heard when people said alot about aprilia bikes being problematic, i was stubborn and got myself one, i have never regretted my decision till now

 

it gives me extra joy and pride, because it is the first vehicle i own, under my name, and is a bike i loved.

 

it gives me the extra drive to go wash my valve and carb even when i am tired. it gives me extra motivation to slowly clean my chain and lub it regularly.

 

Ride your passion as much as your wallet allow

starter motor can be serviced,

by replacing a new carbon brush and derusting of the insides.

 

or alternatively it can be bought from scrapyards.

 

and there is always the option to push start the bike

[roseonfire]

oh ya.. push start.. haha.. but but.. push start.. u nid sum1 to be with u by d side..

[Dos]

why need someone by the side?

[guanjie]

need meh? no need la.. haha

 

anyway the mNm selling his ft plater.. not a bad buy considering his engine is new.. if the price can be bargained to 3-3.2 than can seriously consider haha

[roseonfire]

to help u push.. u mean u push urself n try to start??? i tot 2 ppl r involved.
