hey there, im currently using vara125, but in sg very few ppl are ridingt his bike..

apprantly due to the price (9.5) and the CC (125)

everyone claim this is a underpowered, expensive heavy bike...

but

 

i dont think so.. power (its a matter of how effecient ur gear handling is)

in sg road.. how much power can u have... it can go up to 140 (AFTER run in) ... its a damm Quiet bike

i can safely say there is NO other class 2B bike that is quieter then this bike...

 

all the other bike.. uhhh damm bloody noisy.. vara125... sounds like a big big... smooth... and easy to ride...

 

bike made in spain, they use pretty good parts unline ta200 from thailand..with cheap parts...

 

comes with good bridgestone trailing tyres..

 

anyway ... aint so many vara125 riders in sg.. so far ive seen only 3..

hi there, just noticed your post :-

 

 

 

may i ask u:

vara125 uses how much amount of engine oil?

well it uses quite alot

1l is not enough, it needs about 1.5l

 

 

vara125 uses how many spark plugs?

it uses 2, but when u get the bike it comes with denso spark plugs (with iridium tips.. which i was told could last quite long )

 

 

vara125 uses how many carburetors?

im not that technical on bikes yet..

not sure whatsa carb..

u wanna explain..

[Guest The[J]Man]

I would say that its over-priced.......but very comfortable bike to ride.....

 

Looks huge and intimidation fer a 125 and often mistaken fer a C2 bike..

a 4 wheel drive that can carry 30 ppl... ..hehe

i'm going on an overseas assignment for a yr.....kinda miss the feeling of having a good trustable bike..

[FirstAid]

This bike looks cool! I like it! Maybe downgrading is not a bad idea after all!

miss out. $349 is for 3rd party, fire & theft.

 

[mini-dero]

Feels like that this bike is going pretty famous in sg roads now.....maybe becoz of the reviews and experiences that we had on this bike.

Good to hear more ppl are opting for a safer bike and more stable bike comparing to a speedy and noisy 2T bikes (No offence, guys!)....

thats quite a cool 'bike' (got air con and comes with 'auto-drive' only got to remember to tap out your ezlink (so its actually not that ez huh.. u forget u lose money they earn...)

 

anyway...so u have a clas 2A?

i was over at boonsiew (im not going to comment about the sales ppl) but i saw a 400cc bike...

honda falcon, its looks alot like varadero (but abit smaller...but same enduro style..except its dont have sports rims but spokes..)

its a 4 stroker... very simple controls... has a built in trip meter... (a simple one.. if i recalled properly)

 

have to say that it dont look quite as good as varadero125... but its 400cc...

 

the OTR price tag was 13,000++ (around there,,, i can recall the actual price)

 

but the cool thing about this bike is that its damm unique looking, looks very sporty and like varadero its made in spain (so parts should be quite reliable) but again... like varadero the resale value... wont be that good..

 

so far ive not come across any honda website that has this bike?

 

but ive saw this bike on the road (near alexendra) the biker was with his friend on a vara125 (both the bike color was silver)

 

if your thinking boonsiew ... thats site is quite pathetic ...they have lots missing pictures ... its slow and the pictures are super small!.......

 

anyway one one heard, or is riding it?

i'll try to find a nice looking pic of this bike and post it soon..

[vt125]

hi all, i'm thinking of spray painting my vara to black like the attached pic...any bro out there can recommend any reliable good shop? and also the cost of it and what is the procedure to re-register at Lta, the charges...etc! any guys out there can help?
