BBDC - Anyone Taking 2B There?

[Jeethan]

Spark, Wave...looks same to me.

 

spark is yamaha, wave is honda

[Sky99]

Better...in what way?

Faster speed? faster use up 2T? faster eat petrol?

 

Everything comes with a price.

 

Faster speed compared to Honda wave? maybe?

 

Honda wave doesn't use 2T so i dont think it is compareable in this.

 

I think honda wave FC is better since 125Z is around 37km/litre? From what i read..

 

 

well you can sort of a sports bike feeling if you drag the gear. but like all kups, once you go 80km+ it would start vibrating already. like what vashie said it comes with a price.

 

I read n some forumers mentioning about the bike that it has no problem in achieving 140-160km/h.. It makes me wonder how true it is now.

maybe its modified. I rode my cousin's 125z in malaysia. as you go faster and faster you can't feel the weight of the bike. once I went 80km it started to vibrate then got abit scared already.

[Vashie]

Even on my phantom, over 85km/h I will feel scared.

140kg bike starts vibrating and feel like it's floating...no joke.

I always find my left hand holding onto the handle for dear life subconsciously every 10-15 minutes on expressways...and I need remind myself to relax my grip.

 

Going fast reduce reaction timing and the ability to steer properly. I prefer to keep to speed limit...maybe speed up a little if the road is clear and straight.

 

You want to go fast, but you need to keep in mind about your braking system's ability also.

yeah same thing for my KR too. I keep to the speed limits when i am traveling in the day. but at night when there are little vehicles on the road then break the law

[Fried Rice]

if you mean better in terms of speed/power i think yes. i heard 125z has more power since it is 2 stroke compared to spark.

 

top speed doesnt matter, i hit 100 km/h my handlebar feel very light, the overall feeling is very creepy, like you will just buang anytime.

 

maybe i should try my bike's top speed someday

 

any good areas to try?

[Fried Rice]

oh ya vahsie u mentioned before u trade in helmet to buy a new helmet?

 

more details pls?

 

im thinking of trading in my flip up ff, and buy a normal ff. i wanna buy the spiderman skinz and it doesnt fit my flip up ff.. need normal ff

[Vashie]

So far my engine still running in...highest I will go till is 90km/h.

But...I doubt I will go any faster that that due to the vibrations and the 'floating' effect.

In the rain is aquaplaning...I think my bike on high speed is air-planing! windsurfing...

Phantom rear brakes are infamous for fish tailing also...another reason not to go fast.

 

Yesterday go woodlands missed SLE turn...PIE > KJE > BKE > PIE > KJE > BKE > SLE > Woodlands. Travel very long on road...take chance clock mileage for run in also.

Original price for FF helmet is $150...any helmet trade in is $50 value. Means is $100 after trade in.

 

If interested, better act fast!

The stock was sold out for 4 months, just came new stock this week. Imagine the amount of people wanting to get the helmet over the past 4 mths.

[soundproof]

What you guys think about yamaha 125Z?

 

Too used to gripping tank when i ride. This model no tank, definitely needs time to get use to. If u r fine with not gripping tank then this model is good. Very affordable as well.

Fried Rice maybe u can try changi road. My friend goes for scrambler race with his friends all the time. The road after 12 midnight is scarily clear.

I wanna go there pa tor someday...haha.

Don't need test top speed la...got 2 wheels know can move without pedaling is good enough already.

Yup. one straight ulu road with nobody. very good for testing speed if u want la. Budden Vashie's right, better than bicycle can le la.

No point but I see lots of people putting it.

Don't think they will catch OTR...just off the lights if you sense any danger?

I once seen an Evo travelling at night with just red LED on as it's headlights. Like eyes in the dark, nice but pointless.

If is me I worry more about the battery than being caught.

 

BBDC crash bar is epic...mine small small only~

[cxartizt7]

Spark, Wave...looks same to me.

 

wave ulgier.. don't have a "beak" like spark has

[Vashie]

@cxartizt7

BBDC ones really protective...but I still managed to hurt myself during learning days.

I used my phone camera to take the picture...8MP I think.

What colour you want put?

 

@Tobi

Print the slip as normal, wait, then go check your name for tag number outside the waiting room, wear the tag, wait in room...rest they will guide you through.

If in doubt, mimic other people!

hmm.. blue perhaps.. cos i think red like got song kah or ki chia those type lol

protective????? NO WAY

i completely destroyed a cb125 during my very first self practice.. e brake went 40+ then jam front brake skid, and smash into kerb causing left mirror to break, left crash bar to bend in slightly.. then was fustrated after that so tried circuit test route again, then went plank, front wheel went up, back wheel didnt, causing bike to wobble to fall to the left causing crash bar to bend in until gear can kick down but cannot kick up and right mirror smash... after that rode back to starting point, parked bike and run..

 

I HATE CB125

[Vashie]

@Fried rice

I get the vernecia black/grey/white version...donno spell correct anot, the one with flower pattern.

 

For a $100 Full face...it's not bad. The visor got lock some more. Haha.

Just that those little control to close the air vents...seems quite flimsy.

You go there, they will have some sample helmet on top of the helmet boxes...all sizes also have, just wear to try lor.

 

If your bike got red colour...I suggest you get the Throttle-MC1...damn nice!

[Vashie]

@cxartizt7

Your bike white...why don't put white LED?

[cxartizt7]

@cxartizt7

i feel like slapping myself.. didnt think of that lol.. could'nt agree with you any better.. white is nice. haha

[Vashie]

White good...can bright up your engine/chain part when you wanna take a better look at it.

 

Damn nice la your bike...make me regret a bit not getting a Kawa myself.

My repairing fees/bike/insurance totaled to almost 3k...if not for storage, sure get kawa also!
