First bike

Hi riders ,

I wanna get some advice on what bike should i get for my 2b .

I dont intend to upgread to 2a for the next few years. Gonna use this bike for work purpose and for riding when i have free time. Thought of getting KR 150 or YZF R15 V2, but many says that the KR150 is old and can cost me alot when servicing . As for the R15 , i havent heard any comment on that bike . What do you guys think ? Still a newbie here , and i dont know what bike to get . Sorry for asking alot, i just want to be sure . Cheers !

Hi, Insurance for young 2b rider is veri expensive if u get a bike with fairing.So if I were you, I will get a Yamaha FZ16 . Easy to maintain and no fairing. If u are on tight budget, a kup like spark or jupiter will be good as low on fuel consumption.

Thanks for the reply . But kup bike doesnt suit me . Im quite tall . Plus no offence to riders using kup bike, i dont really like tht kind of bike . Look like old uncle like that . No offence pls . About the insurance thing, how much do you think it will cost me as a new rider ? And the thing is, i love fairing bike :/

Get a YBR la. I also tall. Fuel efficient, cheap. Been riding one for more than 6 years.

if die die want fairing bike, then follow your heart man

how old are you, 22yrs old on kr will $700+ for me.

 

its all about luck sometimes when u get 2nd hand ride after considering how well u kw/tested the bike.

ever consider a kup for cheap petrol and maintenance?

all boils down to your budget brother.. i suggest 200ns or fz16. FC is good and the bike is good looking too!

KTM Duke 200 or Bajaj 200NS. Both are similar DNA while the 200NS is much cheaper than the Duke but a cab engine.

My tall tall friend is riding a CBF150. Or try Honda Tiger. Both should be cheap and economical.
