Need help in choosing bikes..

[moggie_54]

Hi there.. My name is Moggie and I'm new to this forum.. So please help me out ok guys n girls..

 

I got a problems in choosing which bikes to buy..

 

Option 1): Phantom TA200..

 

Option 2) Gilera VXR Runner..

 

Option 3) Yamaha RXZ

 

 

Option 1):

I tried this bike B4 n I would say It was comfortable riding it however when turning it or doing a U-turn the bike can't do a sharp turn n making me to do a wide turn..

 

Option 2)

Haven't managed to try this bike B4 but I don't really like riding bikes without tanks to grip wif (Exp are: X-1, sparks, wave..)

 

Option 3)

I tried this bike B4 also.. Was quite comfortable except that the bike looks a bit small for my size tats all..

 

 

As you all dont know is tat I'm quite a big size guy so dont know which bike really match my size lor..

 

Now I'm really confused in deciding which bike to choose.. Money is also an option for me coz I want to ride bike before my ORD date lor.. So please guys n girls.. help me out in choosing which bike is suit best for me.. I don't mind waiting after my ORD date but I want to ride bike really bad..

 

Anyway.. thanks for viewing.. I hope to receive all your best comments..

 

Cheers::

your choice is very clear,,,,

 

RXZ...

 

follow your HEART!!!

[SparkerS1]

from ur options, RXZ is ur choice, affordable price n gd FC.

i owns a RXZ n personally i can say its a gd ride except it is abit noisy n smokey.

[xiaobanz]

I would also say rxz. Though they are noisy and smoky, but i find it's a good bike for beginner. I almost bought that bike when i passed but dunno why settled for a spark. But still happy riding.

Dear Moggie...

 

if you dun like bikes with no tank to grip... why did you even put it as a choice number 2?

[moggie_54]

Thanks for your reply guys.. What I like about Gilera is that it looks cool when riding it lor.. I was thinking in buying it lor but I don't really like bikes wifout tanks to hug wif..

 

Anyway does RXZ look compatible to big size guys?

you haven really rode the gilera yet.... maybe you'll like it?

yeah true2.. also it helps to prevent ur white colored sneakers(if u're wearing that is)from getting dirty! i guessed gilera's totally out for u as u don't like bikes without getting to grip e tank.. well i guess RXZ would be e best for u at e moment.. big size..? nah don't really matter.. ever seen a big size guy riding a KR?? it's all about passion bro.. anyways.....ever considering sport bikes(fairing bikes)?

[moggie_54]

Hmm.. I dont really mind riding Sports bike lor.. The thing is my mind has come across one bike that is TZM .. I dont mind riding bike that has my attention lor.. Now my mind somehow fix on gilera.. But the thing is: Is gilera worth it to buy lor considering $5-$6K for a second hand? With that kind of money, I could buy a cheaper bike with spare cash in case gt saman or repairs to fixed..

 

Anyway, Does it have enough space for a big size guy like me and a pillion riding a RXZ or Gilera Runner?

hey bro any bike would be able to have enough space for both of u.. mind u my ns squadmate is a really big n previously he rides a RXZ.. i was informed by him that it really isn't a big problem riding it.. even with his big size fiancee pillioning.. but e only disadvantage he had was going up e slope.. funny guy but he says it s true.. really had to open e throttle.. so i dun think it would be a problem for u bro.. n now he's even upgraded to a RVF..it's really mind over matter bro.. gd luck!

[gorgonitz82]

dun bother abt the size of the bike bro... ultimately if you upgrade after a year, it does not matter liao.. go for bikes you know you can still afford if u go short of cashl.... important...

cannot compare price on a jap bike VS italian bike...5k+ for 1 year gilera is reasonable lah...

 

btw it'll be good to work on a budget... then buy something you can afford...

 

Formula is: Total Cash - All Fixed Cost (e.g. insurance, road tax, admin fee, parking)

[Zai TZM]

looks like u are considering TZM .. Get wat u want before too many suggestions pollute ur mind..

very2 true..

[moggie_54]

Thanks a lot guys for your advice..

 

Now I'm also considering to take class 2A n straight away buy a Super 4 lor.. Coz I pass my license last 2 yr around month of Dec.. Thinking of taking class 2A this payday.. Really Don't know which bike to choose.. So confusing..

 

Anyway.. Appreciate your kind comments..

[rhema83]

I think you should pass your 2A and get a Super 4. It is better than any of the 3 bikes you quoted for a large-sized guy. It is also very reliable and inexpensive to maintain.

[moggie_54]

Is Super 4 easy n cheap to maintain? I'm might considering a Spec 1 or 2 or even a Version S after I taken my class 2A..

[SparkerS1]

not easy to maintain bro, Fuel consumption more than 2B bikes, higher insurance, higher rd tax, more stuffs to do servicing etc.

 

if u budget, use a 2B bike better, or else will regret

[zart]

not just 2b bikes.. save money.. buy wave i. really a big saver. fuel price in sg rise so high.

[DeusExMachina]

Have u considered a Varadero 125?

 

Big bike for a CL 2B

[moggie_54]

Thanks again for your kind comments.. I will think about it again on which bike to choose lor.. Anyway.. I dont mind riding a wave coz it fits into my budget perfectly..Somemore can add acessories like speakers, basket.. Haha

 

My budget is around $3K-$4K including all the necessary stuff (Insurance, Rd tax etc..)

 

Now tie down to 2 choices:

 

1) RXZ 135

2) Wave 125

 

Both are good choices n very hard to decide..

 

Anyway help me out guys coz very very soon I'm going to buy my first bike..

 

Thanks a lot again for viewing..

[Zai TZM]

if u really want save , wave 125 is the choice.. fuel consumption low.. no need 2t.. maintainance wise , it's cheap.. good for transportation purpose..

 

rxz 135 , fuel consumption higher .. need 2t , better performance .. 2strokers are not environmental friendly.. maintainance wise , it really depends on rider...

 

ur choice... think wisely and dont regret... don't get ur mind polluted ..

 

My personal opinion 2 strokers RocksSs for 2b bikes..
