Topic : which cub is better?

Description : x1, wave-i, spark-z or new 125zr??

 

********************************************************************

 

want to knoe advantages n disadvantages of the above mentioned bikes and their prices now. thanks

[josean]

personally, if i were to be given a choice. i would choose the wave-i.

 

reasons are better mileage and its a honda.

wave basically for transport purpose. the power is not needed here.

 

but then again... its your $$$ its your choice.

 

would like to know whats NOT good abt the wave-i thou.

[silversurfer2012]

Most hot blooded young people that just got a 2b license want their bikes to be fast.. Wave-I comes with a powercut and a top speed of 110-120 stock. But its fuel consumption is 60+km/l anytime in stock condition, but start adding stuff like big box, sport rims and bigger tyres and it will fall to about 57km/l.

[StingRhea]

among all listed, 125z is the fastest, but the fuel economy is not good compared to the rest.

 

Spares are cheap throughout.

 

Wave-i when servicing you cant bring to any tom, ###### or harry in JB.

 

Prices X1 and Wave-i are higher. A second hand good condition 125z costs ard $2.2k~$2.5k.

 

If you want to get a spark-z i rather you get a normal 2nd hand wave.

[LostBoy85]

how bout a sport bike compare to 125z which is cheaper to get? as in monthly expenses for this both bikes wat's the different?

[silversurfer2012]

You so concern about expenses just get a 4-stroke bike la.. save all the trouble plus you get good mileage per litre.

[AspMonK]

yeah ... for ECOn. bike just get a it Wave etc..

[Kwijibo]

being a former 125z rider and now an x-1 rider i can only give comparisons to these two . 125z fuel consumption can be a b*tch when going on an island-wide trip with your friends and not only that , you must also think about your 2t . My old 125z drank 2t like nobody's business . Having to top up my 2t every week isn't fun i tell ya . And didn't i tell all of ya that i kana summoned by the NEA for excessive white smoke . With the petrol hike and all , i think for transport purposes better go for the 4 stroke bikes . Full tank for an x-1 takes me to and fro from my home in hougang to my school in dover for about 3-4 days . I could only manage 2 days max with the 125z . When i planned to get the x-1 to replace my 125z , i was thinking on these basis , inspection easy to pass (less visible smoke/no smoke) and save money on 2t and petrol . You save a lot without 2t , that money can do a lot of things e.g maintenance , put radio on your bike ... go nuts! . Although i missed the 125z speed and all , i really think that much more speed can be acquired when you buy a bigger class bike . No use having a small bike and mod like mad only to attract the wrong people and putting you into trouble . cheers!

[Wave s2i]

I was using Wave-S and now Wave-I.

Having bad luck when got my Wave-S, the bike "Mati" half way when ride over 80km/hrs. This is isolated case no one else having the same problem. Sold it after having it for 3 year.

Now just get a new Wave-i, Price at $3,300 for the bike, $650 for the COE, +Incurance, Givi box , on the road $4,400. 1 litre can go 60km and No need 2T. Can save a lot $$$$$.

 

Suggestion : Wave-i, Wave-S, Wave-R

[LollyPoP]

u wan. go get a X-1.

[marcky]

bro's...thinking of getting cub 4 transportation and despatch....

 

planning to use for about 6-7 mths onli....

 

 

which of this bikes would be best suited....taking to consideration resale value...etc..(i dunno much about cub market)

 

1) x-1 brand new

2)spark-z brand new

3) wave brand new

 

or

 

4)spark-z second-hand

5)wave second-hand

 

 

thanks guys.....

 

ur help would be greatly appreciated:bounce:

[Kwijibo]

if you're just using it for a short period of time and considering that you wont want to spend that much on a bike . better take the second hand spark-z . The second hand wave would be good to but a bit more expensive then the spark-z .

1 THB = 0.0413403 SGD 1 SGD = 24.1895 THB

41k for x1 R???????!!!!!! crazy o wat.. tink the guy punk around with u lah.. where gt so ex wan... better buy ducati 999... hahaha...

[Kwijibo]

dun think its worth every baht spent .... erm i mean dollar . Dun think that they'll bring in the x-1r . But i think anyone with an x-1 plus a sack of money can turn his bike into an x-1r (having in mind that the same engine , gearbox and carburetor is used on the x-1r). Just buy oversized disc brakes + caliper , front suspension , sports rims , rear suspension , swing-arm , underseat-pipe . And it'll cost you less than buying the x-1r . The biggest attraction to me is the underseat pipe . Macam R1 lah ! :thumb:

[Touch n Go]

heard that the inspection of X1R failed singapore standard... so guess won be seeing this gr8 bike here.... should cost ard CBR150...

[WaveSlacker]

Failed??!! Sh#t man.. wanna buy this great bike... sigh...

[corner]
