lol ask them for fully itemised breakdown really dont see how they can jack 2.9k from it sia.

 

even if count in $1000 COE.... 2.9 -1 = $1.9k!!!

[BikeCrashDie]

Sorry

 

Forgot to include that COE price quoted was 1500+ and insurance for me (2nd party) would be around 1600+ since I'm only 19yo.

Would the quotation be counted as expensive?

You can call insurance company to get a quote from them... i think at 19years only NTUC take in.

 

Another question you may want to ask yourself is do you really want a brand new bike.... later you get class 2A see all your friends change super 4, RVF all those will your backside be itchy to change bike? Speaking from experience most definitely yes.

Hm, since I dont have my license yet. Do you recommend buying the bike first and getting insurance later or..?

Hm, regarding this, I'm hesitant to buy a 2nd hand one as I am not adept at checking the bike's condition. Also, since I dont have any friends experienced in bikes, couldnt call them along for viewing. In the worst case scenario, have to overhaul within a few months of buying a 2nd hand bike

Omg since u got no license, why would u buy the bike first? Of cos get license then say lah. Ur insurance wont change much (yes, under 21, only ntuc will take u so its LLST), but who knows tmr coe prices plummet and that will save u half of it? It is just so financially unwise to get a new bike without any license at all, considering that u wont know how long u will take to get it..

Wise words... fully agreed

Just afraid that the bike will go out of stock

Maybe I should liaise with the bike shop to reserve it for me? Is it possible?

[whitefang]

No such thing. Cbrs are everywhere.. Though they dont have ready stock, but they wont go out of stock. Just wait lah, they will order in for u, in the colour u want. U gotta wait for them to settle paperwork and get number plate anyway.. That already takes one week.. What is waiting for one more week extra? Not as if u got ur license waiting in ur pocket already mah. I took my license in 4 mths plus, and that is with twice to thrice a week for lessons.. And a first time pass. If suay suay u take longer, u wanna pay for a bike that u can only see and touch but not ride in ur carpark, with season parking? Its up to u.. But i would rather wait for 2 weeks from date of purchase for the bike to arrive, than to stare at it for months and cannot ride it. Additional temptation to just go ahead and ride for two rounds in ur carpark is worse. Drop also heart bleed, kena caught by tp, i think u will have to sell the bike without even getting ur license yet.

 

Just my 2, ok maybe 20 cents..

[BikeCrashDie]

Ohh, okay then. With your assurance, I think I'd buy after I get my license

But what I find weird is that when I call Boon Siew and other reputed bike shops, they mentioned that CBR150 is not in production anymore.

So I was afraid that it might go out of stock :/

Honda SP also not in production anymore long ago.... yet is all around sg like cockroach

[unhomer]

...like cockroach

 

Someone isn't too fond of SPs huh hahaha.

 

Concur with Whitefang. Best to wait.

 

Whenever you might be looking @ 2nd hand bikes, just bring a friend anyway, some1 cynical and analytical to help keep your head cool. I can also PM you certain areas to look out for from my limited experience when that time comes.

Haha no la... point being if the bike is good and/or popular enough... it will tend to stick around... look at all those RxK 20 years and still OTR, SP 10 years and still OTR...

[xXxRatedxXx]

I left 8 month to go then can consider selling...

[BikeCrashDie]

Insurance coverage? Need that to test drive, my main purpose is just to test how stable the bike is.. etc etc

[xXxRatedxXx]

No la not considering anything.... this one my tan jiak bike already.... Just hope it doesn't spoil when still have debt to service....

What he means to say is... riding without insurance is illegal for bike.... this is not like car where any driver can drive the car. What you risk by test riding is the owner's license revoke and yours suspend for 1 year if you are caught or anything accident happens...

Oh, I thought there were such things as test drives. How would I know how good the bike is before I buy it then?

have u try calling this shop called Bike Production for a quote?

from what i understand, their prices quite competitive. at least they are okay to itemise the things they charge for. some things to note is that their OTR price may not include ERP unit + they do charge an agreement fee if u take up hire purchase.

 

no point checking with boon siew on cbr150 cause they do not bring in this model at all. all cbr150 in spore are considered parallel imports. that's why u dont hear new cbr150 owners talking abt having some 3year warranty, free labour for servicing, etc.

boon siew brings in cbr125 though. but based on e number of cbr125 i c on the roads, dont tink there's much of sales volume for cbr125.
