Varadero is a nice bike. Unfortunately due to my short height have to settle for lower bikes like cruiser.

[ezzyoiler]

One stupid auntie reversed never check behind hit my Phantom and broke the front fender. Rode to bike shop to order new one. $70 for front fender normal price or not? Should ask shop to ask her pay $100 so have $30 to buy beer. Compensate for my heart ache.

 

tell her..

$70 for fender..

$50..or painting

$30...labour for dismantling and assenmly..

$50...for loss of use for bike..

total..$180..

Lol. I very happy she agreed to pay $70. My fender had some deep scratches already. Some just try to pay less and drive off. Lucky my bike is Phantom, not Aprilla.

The CB1300 looks simply like the bigger version of your bike.. nv seen 700 deuville before.. tenere not bad mah.. although I dun really like the looks of it but I guess it suits your needs well.I personally wont go for European bikes unless its not my min transport.

aey.. actually its all in the CB family.

Jus that they cater 400cc for JDM.

Deauville 700, if with full OEM mod... fooyoor...

but to each his own preference..

but too bad may nt be friendly for me if i decide to bring it bashing... \m/

 

as for the tenere... well, lets jus say, apart frm the bike, I dont like the brand..

 

& its a nono for european bikes for me.... i rather buy a car for the price..

[SNapEl]

[hongzy]

i know same family ah.. but at least make.. the headlights nicer? haha.

dont look the looks of the deauville, but my dad commented its quite nice. looks are always subjective.

yeah its more of a road commuter bike..

 

brand is always a factor too.. every1 will have their own preference. those who know me well enough knows that i dont like certain aftermarket brands too.

 

actually if can find a good condition AT, y not? i nv really read up on it, eg parts availability and known bike problems etc. but i think the bike suits your needs very well leh.

[Kevs]

hm~mm... bikes..

 

y? arent u @ the pinnacle already?

butt still itchy ah?

the OEM accessories sia..

 

& boy can this pig go touring!

 

as for the CB, well, it goes a long way back, & they only reintroduced the Bol d'Or to commemorate its predecessor's anniversary, hence the model in the later CB family.

 

the cowling looks fine to me mah... uniquely different to the normal S4s.. but to each his own preference.

 

& as for the @T, well, lets just say that its really really really hard to find one in good condition nowadays..

 

ppl do ask me why Im looking for a heavy dinosaur pig.

 

my ans, cos I like it...

 

no seriously, its common problems arent that hard to handle. parts are still lying around sparsely.

U'll be surprise to find that there's still alive & kicking XRV 650 in other parts of the world & in pristine conditons too.. wicked..

 

well, then again, hv to face reality, that @Ts in SGP hv more or less roll pasted 1 or 2 COE, & the shop wouldnt refinance me enough when I'd found one.. shucks..

[chinu]

i think stx much better . but if you like it why not, its your money

if i were you , i stick to s4 with boxes than change to deauville (new model or old ).

aSsTeeaXe, sat before, test before, used to like it alot, but seems sian to me liao..

 

Ass4, thou it brought me happiness, it brought me sadness as well...

 

as for Deauville, the new model looks more nicer to me than the old de, moreover, the old de, accessories has ceased production..

 

then again, here in sillypore, doesnt meant that there's authorised distributor can get anything, its a total crap here!...

[chinu]
