Yamaha Fino or Sachs MadAss?

[xyndz]

Hi all

will like to check with u peeps for a girl with class 2B which is more suitable?do they sell both second hands for both bikes, and if so what are the cost like? personally i prefer the Madass, love the look and with my weight i think it might be easy for me to maneuver it....hmmmmm headache sia!

 

 

oh! one more thing, madass wise, is it possible to put in a rear carrier? though it doesnt look suitable...pek chek

[ozzarhomb]

singapore can get this bike? that's cool! which shop sells this bike? :confused:

[xyndz]

you mean which bike?

I saw the madass @ Mah,

fino wise i saw it at quite a couple of place..but forgot where paiseh

Hi... well depends on your budget also... I've got my Fino at about 5k (OTR) from Albert motor... but you can go asphoon or Wing Yap also. Best is direct from Hong Leong, they are the distributor got free sports rim & box. It automatic so no headache on changing gear. Hee... now they got new version of Fino! You can go check it out.

 

Its a rather vintage looking bike bit like Vespa but at a fraction of the price. Madass wise more rugged looking.. initially I wanted to get TW200 but lazy to change gear after a while. And saw Fino which is really a beauty. In Thailand very hot now... many accessories to add!

 

So depends on your need, budget and all... for me personally is look & $$. Fino easy to maintain & petrol consumption good. Hope this helps.

Both a cool bike...

 

If u need storage... to house ur raincoat,bikecover & etc then u need to know which bike can mount a box .

 

If u dun want ur left shoes to be damage , get an auto bike.

 

If u dun want ur pocket to be empty , its important to check the fuel consumption (mileage per litre) . Where the bike from will determine the spare parts too...

 

Cheers...

I was referring to the madass, Fino is rather common i guess. haven't really see a madass on the road till now. :smile:

[kawasakininja]

according to staff from mah,madass will be available able 2 months from now.

 

the machine price is $3500.

 

as for the fc and other stuff ais still not known yet.

 

it's a 125cc with 16L fuel tank.with a digital speedo and 4 gear with a top speed of 90km/h.

 

hope this info is of help.

 

personally i'm attractted to this bike too

[xyndz]

thanks peeps, the fino is definitely more economical, cuz the mah ppl told me the madass cost around 6k on the road.....

btw do any of you happen to know any 2nd hand bikes shop? the only one i know and feel reliable enough is mah lol

 

thanks once more all

[WuYa]

Madass??

Wow, i seriously like the name of the bike.

haha. And it looks quite stylo too.

 

If i were to buy one, I'd make sure the word "Madass" is emblazoned on my helmet and riding gear - hell, all over the bike too.

[njh]

saw the madass at Mah didn't ask about the price

but 6k otr ???

though the design is nice and unique but it looks just like a bicycle with a 125cc engine

also seem quite dangerous when travelling on our expressways...

[brinsley]

damn! they're bringing Sachs Madass into Singapore?!?! Finally!

and at 125cc too! they started out as 50cc and now 125cc is new model!!

 

wahahaha..... great info.... will start selling my bikes for this

wahahah... siao liao.... wooohooo..... gotta find smaller wheels for this!

the Sachs Madass is German made if i'm not wrong. But it's definitely not from Thailand that the Yamaha Fino comes from (no prejudice here); the Fino is essentially a thai version of the japanese version Vino.

 

it's only 4.6L tank impossible to be 16L. top speed should exceed 90km/h depending on rider, i'm not surprised stock configuration can reach 110km/h.

 

it's a simple CUB type engine, which should yield around 40+km/litre regardless of throttling style, since this bike is effectively light and aerodynamic. air cooled means coolant maintenance free this bike maintenance is about the same as a Honda Wave, cheap! but should only use mineral and not synthetic engine oil.

 

changing the carbuerator should yield a top speed in excess of 120km/h, but not sure of fc. A genuine Keihin PC20 carb hould do the trick. changing the rear sprocket to be smaller would yield better fc for long distance travelling while compromising pickup.

 

the only drawback would be the rear suspension, where servicing and maintenance is concerned. but i'm sure an economic version of such a small rear shock would be available from our neighbours soon.

 

a lot of room for customization and performance modding since there are no bike fairings. wheelbase about the same as a KSR, which should mean that it could easily fit into any HDB lift:D you can also fabricate a cylindrical tank and spray in matching colour and use it for fuel and the authorities won't even know!

 

with this bike, you'll spend more on customising than maintaining it no belt to change already saves u quite a sum, cub type engine parts easily available, engine oil change at only 12 bucks for a good 3000km or more, mechanical bikes are easier to maintain than automatic scooters. clutch plates are similiar to that of honda wave (it's a honda copy engine), semi-auto step through transmission gives one the ability to drag and change gears, and being a honda cub copy engine, you can easily boost it up to a 140cc or more displacement as such honda cylinder blocks are long available in the market.

 

if you have the $, get aftermarket japan tuning parts for racing magneto and you'll be revving your Sachs like a 2-stroker bike, but get a clever mechanic to re-route the electrics to the headlight. For exhaust options, i believe big names like Leo Vince and Yoshimura would have them soon legalised in Sg context. Am trying to find exhaust models for this since this model was available since 2006.

 

wah finally our local authorities are opening up to bike criteria; firstly we got the KSR 110, and now this! wahahahaha cheap and economic bikes! save the earth, burn lesser fuel please, do your part in global warming!

ask any biker who rides his cub hard and whether his bike gives him problems, none!

 

you gotta love the Honda Cub engine

I have seen the madass in Mah, looks real savvy.

Get the madass!!

[ozzarhomb]

it looks more badass than madass i think, if u're stuck in a jam u can probably head up the pavement and breeze through smirking at everyone else. :cheeky:

[Refugee]

looks like a motorised bicycle... expressway worthy?

[eversman]

ya lor look so light.. crosswinds will make u fly away anot?

[madman]

attach some glider wings, tink can take off from there...hahaa...

 

i've got the brochure for the madass...looks good. would like to have one if not too ex...

[jytheorem]

if u get the madass, i think u can even save $$ on parking!! Should easily go into an elevator!!

[merlino]

Madass, you will stand out (if that's what you want to achieve)

[ozzarhomb]

got that small ah? just park it outside ur flat. cool sia. at most morning dun on engine disturb neighbour lor. push downstairs then start. :sweat:

[mkhairi]

madass... hmm .. dont it look like a motorised bicycle.. i mean, looking at the design, i feel very unsafe riding it.. it looks too tiny and by looking at the pic attached, the guy looks awfully big for it..

 

hmm.. aniway, if anyone is planning to get this, pls ride safe.. ok lar, all riders, ride safe..

[ozzarhomb]

read somewhere off the forum that the KSR110 is no longer road legal already, i wonder if LTA will legalise the madass since it's about the same or even smaller than the KSR? :confused:

[suaku]

KSr is still road legal.

 

Madass still pending approval.

 

Madass is actually longer than the KSR (1.8m vs 1.6m).

oh i see, buying a madass will probably feel like buying a European made cub with kickass looks. :cheeky:

[desewer]

Sat on the MadAss yesterday. It's a small bike, but with very hard suspension. It can take my weight, and I'm damn heavy!

 

Thing is, the MadAss is still pending approval. I heard that it's unlikely to be approved due to the fuel being stored in the frame and the politically-incorrect name.

 

Tsk tsk tsk...
