cbr150 or wr200?

[spaiduhz]

hi!

 

am new here, been interested in getting a cbr150 for ages, but I'm trying to compare the cbr150 and wr200, would love it if anyone had any tips to give! I found out that the difference in FC is huge, wr200 can go for the most 20km/l, but cbr150 can go for more than 40km/l? that's like 2full tanks of wr!

 

I know that these are two really different bikes, my initial idea was to get a cbr, because of the low FC, user/road friendly, etcetc, but my friends said it was too small for a 1.72m lanky person like me. and I've seen it at a shop, it looks fine really, just a lil skinnier than I expected.

 

then I tried the wr, which is kinda interesting, because I've always liked dirt bikes. but the maintenance is way higher considering the difference between it and the cbr. and not to mention, ++look factor on the road. hahahah (vain). but it's still pretty and more preferred by my biker friends, they said I suit the wr more.

 

1>> so that rounds off my question, cbr150 now then wait till 2A and get a drz (even though the FC is not much of a diff compared to the wr...) or just get a wr because I plainly like it? don't want maintenance to be a ***** and carry 2t oil everywhere I go. but considering I travel from yishun to bugis everyday for school, need to make the smarter choice for my wallet or my vanity.

 

all tips and comments appreciated.

 

2>> oh and also, if I do get a cbr, I noticed 2nd hand ones here are going for 2.4k to 2.6k. is it more worth it to get a 1st hand one, whack a down payment, and pay COI slowly for months after? I don't know yet if I will upgrade to a super4 or drz or whatever, yet, I might end up not even upgrading, but even if I do, I heard you can trade in your bike and continue paying COI for whatever bike you're getting. how worth it is this deal?

 

like I said, would appreciate if people would respond to this post. it's my first bike, that's why I'm asking so much. really need to know what's best. wahah.

 

thank you!

 

If FC is important to you, and you want a bike that you wont look like a fool on, (which i dont really give much of a flying **** about) you can consider the four stroke naked bikes in the market. Bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar, CG125, CB125, CBF150, YBR125 etc etc.

one more thing... does anyone know how much premix 2t I must pour in per litre pumped? I tried 10ml/L, my bike pick up damn slow... then died once or twice like not enough petrol or petrol not going in.. I think 2t too little, but I don't know how much to pump. got any advice? thanks weeeeeeee loving the wr.~

Road-Riding

------------

18-20ml of 2T to 1litre of petrol..

 

Off-Road/Track Riding

---------------------

22-25ml of 2T to 1litre of petrol..

 

10ml is to little.. u`re lucky dat ur piston didn`t jam on ya.. too little 2t will cause ur piston to jam.. too much will cause da piston ring to slip.. so far diz are da recommended amount to mix.. =)
