Hi All,

 

I am new to this, and i am very keen in getting a bike soon. Of course, like most here, there are alot of family and friends that seriously do not recommend getting a bike. So I am considering a 3 wheel bike. The reason would be commuting to school(west side) from work(east side).

 

I am not able to find much information regarding this. Is it safer than normal bikes? ok i know this is a little open ended but is it a bigger target(more visible to others), less or no skids, how it handles when on wet road or when its raining etc kind of safe.

 

From what I see, there are two types mainly, Gilera and Piaggio scooters that are with 2 front wheels. (spyder $eem$ out of reach) Is there any bikes with 2 rear wheels for 2B?

 

Can any one please advise?

 

PS, i am sorry if this is not the right thread to post.

Thanks for your time.

Interesting choice of bike selection you have there. But one thing I'm puzzled was... Even with a 3 wheel bike, does it make you any better should you **touch wood** involve in a road traffic accident which was caused by others?

 

Sometimes being on the 2 wheels can avoid and be a little more nimble than 3 wheels you know?

 

And for what I observed, 3 wheels are very unsuitable in counter-centrifugal force.. Slipping off the the road seems like a matter of anytime should your tyre cannot hold out.

Hi Foxin,

 

Yup. i understand your point of view. Even if we ride safely and not buang/knock others, when others dont and buang/knock us, nothing we can do. ( not exactly nothing we can do, we can take evasive action but i hope you get what i mean.)

 

which is why i hope that such a bike would be more 'visible' to others thus reducing this even if it is by 5% chance. (im not saying its cfm 5% but just a random number.)

 

I also have my doubts about the 2 front wheel bike which is why I was hoping that a bike with 2 rear wheels would be more stable which is why i am looking for help here.

OoOoo...

Not much I can see of except the ones that you did mentioned. Cam-am is like super inconvenient btw..

But I'm pretty sure there is not bike with 2 rear wheels unless you're taking class 1 category, then there is the one with 2wheels behind. (seen one dude on that b4 with a handicapped sign on his rear seat)

or..

you can actually get buy that w/o class 1 licenese? LOL!

[Akab]

is there still class 1 in SG?

[imsmallfry]

hi is cbr 150 2011 model available in sg?

[foxin]

I have no idea man.. I do run into some 3wheels vehicle with a handicapped sign.

 

imsmallfry: Yes, it's already all over the place now

Hi everyone! I have been riding for a year now and next week I can register for my class 2A.

 

Currently I am riding a HONDA CBR150.

 

Would it be better for me to just stick to 2b bike or get a 2a bike?

 

Initially I thought of getting 2a license and get super4 coz many ppl say super4 is a good 2a bike but recently some of my friends say just stick to 2b bike.

 

What i look for in a bike is normally speed and comfort as i am always rushing from point to point and i dont really know much about bikes or mechanics so low maintenance would be good too.. My current speed of my honda cbr150 is normally 120km/h which personally i dont think is fast enough..lol.

 

Any advise please..? Should i change to a different 2b bike or shud i get a 2a bike..?

a Super4 sounds good. maintenance wise, it would be the same with cbr150. just different price.

FYI- motorcycles turn by leaning and counteracting the centrifugal forces during a turn. the 2 front wheel motorcycles that are currently in our market lets the bike lean by moving the two front wheel slightly infront or behind the other. Its definitely more stable with 2 wheels in front compared to 2 wheels behind bro. You got ride tricycle before when your young? if you turn suddenly you'll flip!

 

the 2 wheels behind concept is really for slow vehicles that need to carry load behind. If it really were stable at all. They would be made more common.

[bob123]

I think the piaggio mp3 bikes are pretty stable. The whole bike can pivot like a normal bike during turns.

I have had that same dilemma as you do sometime ago. So maybe I can help you in some way la huh? Heee..

Currently from what I'm riding (R15), my initial cost is quite high and it would definitely cost me alot to let it go now and get for myself say a S4 ver I.

So, the point is if your bike cost you quite a bit already, why not just hold on to it? That was what I thought.

 

And.. Upon riding a S4, you will feel very powerful since the power is vastly different and the riding experience is very very different. I would say I would want to ditch my 2B anytime and jump right onto a S4 anytime. I even consider to cut severely into my budget to live by each day on bread and water just for a S4... But big bike comes with big responsibilities. Besides, S4 have very good value should you get one and sell some years down the road.

 

So..

1) Opportunity cost of your 2B bike for a 2A bike

2) Speed is definitely there and in fact 400cc is optimum for local road.

3) low maintenance? Sure! But it goes by 3 bottles of EO anytime and 4 spark plugs. Brake pads 2 at the front and 1 on the rear. It's not hassle free but it's definitely costly at every one servicing.

I think dear Duke 390 is similar to the Duke 200 but the main differentiating factor is the bigger engine. It is better for you. Other than the “390” sticker on the fuel tank and bright trademark KTM orange paint for the trellis frame, there is no way you can tell them apart. The sharing of vehicle parts between multiple bikes helps in reducing the cost.
