ya one thing need help from u all how to remove the mirror for our bike

if i'm not wrong, for ur model just have to unscrew the entire mirror (mirror + stand) to get it out. that was the case for my FW CBR150R last time. :smile:

[ozzarhomb]

i just ended my conservative riding style trial.

 

here's the results.

 

started trial at 21747.8 KM

 

ended trial at 22179.2 KM

 

Distance travelled - 431.4 KM

 

Petrol Pumped - 7.829L

 

Fuel Consumption - 55.1 KM/L (no joke!!)

 

Riding attributes - about half the mileage with pillion, half solo rider. mixture of highway travelling, traffic jams and minor roads. Maximum RPM of 5k 99% of the time.

 

Conclusion - rather low fuel consumption, however, top speed of 65km/hr is not practical and quite dangerous on the expressway.

 

DISCLAIMER: This trial is done for interest sake and not recommended for everyday riding.

[driftbaker]

hi all!! i intend to a get a class 2B bike. sth that is economical. i was considering gettin pulsar due to the low FC but scared cos it's not a popular brand in singapore. my fren intro me cbr, he say FC is abt 40, somemore racing bike, can have good pickup n speed.

 

is it true? the FC can reali get 40km/litres? how much rpm shd i change gear at, and wad speed to travel at to achieve 40km/litre?

hi for me as per ozzar say earlier i always drag my gear all the time and is true i always change gear at 7-9 rpm and i can still achieve 32-35km/l and dont even need 2t save a bit more money for pick up wise is a 4 stroke so no much pick up but for transport use it is very economical

hope all this helps

[thisisme]

wan so fast want to sell bike liao is it

[SparkerS1]

from wat i koe is selling a bike not only see plate and milledge also must see the conditiion of the bike and it appearance

FC is 40-50 depends on ur riding style, pick up not as gd as 2 stroke bikes, speed???......haha.....u try liao tell me fast or not, smooth pick up.

have racing bike look but the performance....u better ask those who riding now, cos i long time nv touch cbr150 liao

[ozzarhomb]

CBR150R isn't a popular model either, for all u know, there might be more pulsars on the road than CBR150R.

 

CBR150R is a commuter bike, not sportsbike, dun expect anything exciting from this bike, it's a predictable, reliable type of transport bike, like the pulsar.

ya it's not really practical at all, i'm just doing it for fun, so testing out the limit at the other end of the scale. :cheeky:

means tat if i nv drag n change gear at lower rpm, it's possible to achieve a higher FC like.. 40km/l?

haha.. really appreciate ur reply though u nv touch cbr long time liao.. actually i dun mind the performance or wad.. i just need a reliable transport bike which can get spare parts easily.. otherwise if anything happen.. *choy!* cannot get spare parts then die liao.. hee

haha.. is it true there's more pulsars than cbr? anyway, u mentioned tat it's a predictable, reliable type of transport bike, just like pulsar.. in terms of reliability, it is on par with pulsar? i have no frens riding pulsar, so i dunno how reliable is it. but thing's for sure is honda parts easy to find.. bajaj tough to find.. rite?

 

 

anyway, thanks alot guys for the replies.. really appreciate them!

[ozzarhomb]

i consistently get above 40km/L, about 42 to 44 actually, travelling at 100kph max on expressways. it's more of throttling than low RPM that helps improve FC.

 

parts for CBR150R are plentiful and cheap. for pulsar, it's a relatively new bike so it's long term reliability is a question mark, but it's been in India for so many years liao, can't go too far off. if i'm not wrong only universal carries parts for pulsar? aint too sure about it.

 

any bike, u must do ur part in order for it to serve u well. i've heard of both bikes breaking down so reliability is dependent on u. from a friend, pulsar offers more lower-end torque but CBR gives higher speed. 2B bikes are usually high rev to begin with IMO.

 

i've seen CBR with 2 side boxes and top box, also seen it on pulsar as well. which one more comfortable? i can't tell, never ride pulsar before but looks more comfy than CBR150R. not entirely sure if there's more pulsars than CBR150Rs on the roads but they seemed to be selling better than CBR150R.

 

all these are my own opinions hor, just listen and let it go if u dun agree.

 

means tat if i nv drag n change gear at lower rpm, it's possible to achieve a higher FC like.. 40km/l?

driftbaker, for me I'm happy with the speed of the CBR. try 140km/hr but in terms of speed of course 2 stroke bikes is faster but think of it again..singapore road how fast u wanna go?

gear changing varies cos some change at high rpm. its ok to drag gear, but dun overdo it can liao, etc drag gear 2 to 8000rpm.

spare parts not necessary can get easily, some items need to be imported.

 

IMO there are more Pulsar than cbr150, reliability depends on how u look at it, what type of reliability u wan.

my friend who ride pulsar in india say its one of the best bike in india but in SG, depends on how u look at it, cos different ppl got different opinons.

hi!

 

am new here, been interested in getting a cbr150 for ages, but I'm trying to compare the cbr150 and wr200, would love it if anyone had any tips to give! I found out that the difference in FC is huge, wr200 can go for the most 20km/l, but cbr150 can go for more than 40km/l? that's like 2full tanks of wr!

 

I know that these are two really different bikes, my initial idea was to get a cbr, because of the low FC, user/road friendly, etcetc, but my friends said it was too small for a 1.72m lanky person like me. and I've seen it at a shop, it looks fine really, just a lil skinnier than I expected.

 

then I tried the wr, which is kinda interesting, because I've always liked dirt bikes. but the maintenance is way higher considering the difference between it and the cbr. and not to mention, ++look factor on the road. hahahah (vain). but it's still pretty and more preferred by my biker friends, they said I suit the wr more.

 

1>> so that rounds off my question, cbr150 now then wait till 2A and get a drz (even though the FC is not much of a diff compared to the wr...) or just get a wr because I plainly like it? don't want maintenance to be a ***** and carry 2t oil everywhere I go. but considering I travel from yishun to bugis everyday for school, need to make the smarter choice for my wallet or my vanity.

 

all tips and comments appreciated.

 

2>> oh and also, if I do get a cbr, I noticed 2nd hand ones here are going for 2.4k to 2.6k. is it more worth it to get a 1st hand one, whack a down payment, and pay COI slowly for months after? I don't know yet if I will upgrade to a super4 or drz or whatever, yet, I might end up not even upgrading, but even if I do, I heard you can trade in your bike and continue paying COI for whatever bike you're getting. how worth it is this deal?

 

like I said, would appreciate if people would respond to this post. it's my first bike, that's why I'm asking so much. really need to know what's best. wahah.

 

thank you!

[lazy1000]

got some problem la brother. sorry man. its been fun riding the bike.
