High COE...more worth to ride bigger bike?

[FlyinMozart]

Hi would like to find out.. with the current high price for bike COE. Is it more worth to get a bigger CC bike?

[joehani]

Yes!

Time to get that Harley that you have been eyeing on!

Not really. Why you guys make it seem like only the 2B bike prices are going up??

The difference would be the amount of interest you'd be paying compared to how much the machine costs as well as your monthly installments and resale value.

A 5K bike would cost 10k

A 30k bike would cost 35k

 

High COE makes the worth disproportionate for a class 2B vs a class 2. For a class 2 to lose 5k off its resale value in the first year is normal, for a 2B bike its retarded like our govt.

 

If you're gonna use your class 2B for long, then its worth it because the class 2B is gonna save you more than the COE amount in petrol and maintenance compared to a class 2. Easily. Besides you can buy a used 2B and replace almost everything on the bike from across for cheaper than how much the current COE is worth, might as well buy a 1 year remaining bike and do their magic then renew COE.

 

Its almost a brand new bike for much less and you can only do this with certain 2B bikes on the cheap.

 

Just my 2c. Stop voting PAP.

Ya True...I m looking at my overseas friends driving cars and riding their brand new bikes at the price of our bicycles here... and we are paying sky high prices just to own a decent transport.

Oh please, small or big bikes, all becoming expensive, thanks to coe, thanks to our "scholar" transport minister, thanks to pay and pay.

haha.. i'm also starting to think og getting a bigger bike cos of the coe increase... my thinking is more of "not worth it to spend 10k or over for a small bike". Since small bike is no longer cheap, might as well just splurge on big bikes... i still have 3 years of coe left on my current small bike though. so no need to change so soon but balls getting itchy

Then you will not have enough savings. I would say go for what u can afford

[FlyinMozart]

then there is the recent ...fuel tax hike..so maintaining a bigger bike's fuel consumption will be another burden...
