Now chiong 1st, later in life old the then get more relax dream bike like HD..

Ermmm.....hayabusa is kinda no longer the fastest production bike for like 2 years now.

The fastest now is actually the Kawa ZX14.

I understand there is currently only 2 in Singapore? One was rejected for LTA approval.

yup it`s just a piece of plastic, but there`s more physics to the fairing,
it cuts the wind at high speeds and keeps the bike stable wor..

I agree, especially on tourers. Rode a s4 with St11s in Malaysia before and then rode as a pillion on the St11, the speed, rain & wind resistance issue was so different on different bikes.

anyway i don really like to put the cowls and half farings onto a naked bike..
no offences but.... reallly not to my liking..

but hengz.. the FZ1 got the fairing version, i heard is still considered naked to insurers..

i think thats the quarter fairing i was talking about, only that it can be considered a cowling

actually i`ve also read the blog for endlessloop who just changed over from FZ1 to STX... in his blog i heard rather positive comments abt the change...
hehe... that`s why i left out the FZ1 in my initial choices. haha

Yes, but you are changing a bike from a 400cc, there is like 900cc difference to a STX and the weight may make a very big difference, especially since you are just starting to want to tour.

anyway thanks for the suggestions u gave me..

anway wrt the LC food court, is it liang court food court??
read a few times le, but dunno where is it exactly, actually i abit shy to go meet them w my v humble bike... cuz i heard tt side all riding big cow and sort of have their own click.. haha...

its actually a old school canteen converted into a food court. Along tanjong katong road, leading to the ECP, opposite the Chesterlodge Aprartments.

And the folks dont mind small bikes, big cows park together. if you think you can spare a nite there, let em know and i pm you some numbers that you can call and go make friends.

get the FZ1 then go motoworld and buy extra parts Laughing

i'm still thinking if i should get a tank bra for my bike...

viciouskitty74 SG

only if you regularly keep it covered with a bike cover. There are folks around that goes around snipping off the ties of the tank bras.

technoboy SG

Wow ZX14?? Never really heard of it much less a look at it.

Anyway what's the tank bra for? To protect the tank? It looks rather nice though, the bike looks so "soft" with the tank bra. Laughing

kopiosatu SG

Confused

that's $130 gone Mad

i want to get it just to put my bag, but i heard that the bag will block the movement of the handlebar on the FJR

kopiosatu SG

1400cc from kawasaki, never heard of it because i think that the advertising done by kawa on the bike is quite small.

the tank bra is to help protect your tank at the same time u can clip bags on it.
but u gotta get the bag which is another $100-200.

most people get it for cosmetic purposes, i got the tank bra for my previous bike for more storage space, and i get to lean on the bag when i get tired while touring Laughing

viciouskitty74 SG

I think most bags will block the movement of the handlebar on almost any bike that needs to do sharp movements. Like when you need to do u-turns or reverse park a bike.

There's a friend who brought in a storeroom full of bags, from tank/tail to Side Saddle bags from Australia, the brand is 'GearSack'. And he is clearing his stock, you want some?

I think I know who is the the one with a zx14, think that boy is with Paya Lebar Airbase, can xiaop help confirm?[i]

BaByBoY SG

hehe
i know la
but it`s not really affordable mahz..

the price so high, spare parts also no have much to boos of

BaByBoY SG

anyway thanks all of u guys and gals for ur valuable imput, i`ll seriously consider the FZ1....
but b4 i buy surely i`ll ask for a meet up with u all.. hahaha..

hopes the COE will drop just b4 i buy the bike..

actually if ge FZ1 , might as well get the B king??
heard it`s on the road le... but seems like it`s not frequently spotted...

BaByBoY SG

lol

ur 2 boxes not enuff??
haha

u really got many things to carry sia...

kopiosatu SG

xiaop sial, long time no see xiaop Laughing

kopiosatu SG

enough but doesn't hurt to get more space!
i love space

popmynutsy SG

hayabusa should be the most outstanding 1. i got a friend that says he choose hayabusa cause hayabusa is the only 1 with a original chinese word. the sound is sexy too. and i find that hayabusa is less common than r1.

kopiosatu SG

hayabusa is like a taxi now, i see it everywhere.

unless someone gets the 2008 version

viciouskitty74 SG

K....

I msn-ned with that boy from airbase with the zx14, he tells me there is currently 3 zx14 on the road he knows of, because he met the owners, and theirs are newer then his.

bigdeal SG

to me all rounder bike is vfr 800. no doubt i really loved it

blackbird is good too for the f**king stability while going at speeds above 250km/h.

no regrets

kopiosatu SG

vfr 800's price is steep for a 800.

i wouldn't pay that kind of money for a 800cc bike no matter how cool it looks.

viciouskitty74 SG

You guys talking about the new one? The ones used by the LTA?
