How much quoted OTR?

[Leong Kong Ming]

OTR Thirteen Eight

[hachi]

That I was quote too.

I also interested in this bike maybe a year later. Cos I just brought a S4.

U going to buy? After getting pls review,thanks.

[Leong Kong Ming]

from which shop you was quoted?. Not much choice to choose from the range between above 400cc and 750 cc. any recommendation. no sport bike pls. your msg noted

[hachi]

At the shop at lanverder and dexing, all quoted mi this price.

And saw it once on the rd.

DAmn nice.

If this bike can tour at the spd of 200km.h then I might get it next year. I also searching for a 600cc this year march but all over price and decided to buy a S4 again.

[Leong Kong Ming]

Thanks Hachi, mine quote was also from Lavender shop not the other. Still hesitating

[z1boy]

its a good and reliable bike, bandit have been around for quite some time. very reliable engine too. 13k OTR is cheap for a 650. just buy a pair of pannies and you can really go places. much value for money when compare to say the fazer 600?

[hachi]

Quite true, but anyone know the top spd or max comfortable cursing spd?

Cos someone mentioned only 220km.h or something like that?

[Hell Angel]

It you're going to riding your bike for good.Then it is really a value for $.But i think the resale value will be very poor if you're going to sell.

[hachi]

Then I would wait for a 2nd hand. SOmeone go and buy pls....hee hee

saw this bike on the road a few days ago.. ridden by an uncle... have to say the pickup is quite fast and the engine sounds sweet... headlight seen from my rear view mirror.. looks like a k2.... dun quite like the taillight though.. looks abit outdated....

[comics00]

if i am to buy a bandit will go for the 1200cc 'cos 650cc power not really enough for trips especially when overtaking those high speed lorry on NS

[hachi]

I think those who want to buy S4 and have cl2 should consider this.

Oil cooled no radiator

Same tires sizes as S4.

Max torque at 4000rpm should have enhanzed over taking ability cos u dont need to drop gear too much to overtake.

[kish_garfield]

check the video out on the bike. apparently it is designed quite well. for sg roads 650 not bad. got fairing somemore. nv ridden a 600 but don think the overtaking that bad lah. but if u were like me a vee fan then get the SV

[hachi]

SV 650 got new ones?

Cos this bandit the torque develop at so low really good for city riding...

Even V twin develop much more higher...

Hhaha wrong spelling maybe seen too much of ur name in the forum....

Saw this bike( Black ) at Lavender with Hepco & Becker rack looks real cool. Checked with with dealer and was told they have sold 12 bikes so far. Like to own one but worried about resale value. Anybody owner here care to comment??

[Leong Kong Ming]

Hell Angel & you swooh worry about resale value, we motorcyclist always lost money on resale. For me so long as you are happy with the bike performances that will be fine. Anyway i got the bike 2 weeks ago, to date working fine

[swoosh]

I was quoted 13.8 w/o insurance. Care to share how much you got yours for? Thanx:help:

[Leong Kong Ming]

same, from the lavender shop.

[hachi]

What is top spdd and cuising spd?

IF got 230km/h or so, next year mostly I will get it...

[gunshead]

forget it

only fazer goes 230km/h

not bandit
