Cost of getting a new bike

It depends on whether you have the intention to upgrade in the future. When I first took my 2b licence, I was already aiming for class 2 bikes, so I bought...

*Go with an experienced friend and get the bike you want. And can afford.
Don't be paralysed by too many details.

*Dealers usually have a lemon, (returned by their friends or kakis) that they pass on the uninitiated.

How much do you have?
For a new RXZ all in will cost you about $6000.

For second hand, plenty around....all in with COE/ERP/insurance will only cost you less than $1500.

I suggest you get Class2 and buy a R1 like what i am riding now. Everyone on the road will give you respect!

RXZ.....you will feel like the lowest form of creature on the road.
Trust me on this....when you start riding with your P-plate on it...you will know what I meant!

what kind of comment is this?

you don't need 'respect', one needs to ride safely and defensively.

wth?hey that guy just passed his TP test class 2b maybe,ur talking about a 3-4 years later's bike,demoralising.

respect are given to those who start from small and become experience.

if u really just rode an R1 and never a small bike before,ur a dimwit.

those who had many years of experience of road riding are better than you.

you noob

RXZ lowest form of creature?

There is a word for these kind of mentality. Its called Poseur.

One who only manages to get the thrill of life thru posturing.

And there are plenty more who gets the thrill of life thru everything, including riding smallest bikes available and they are happiest people around.

Should I mention, I rode bikes in Singapore, and tours Malaysia with the old bikers...and when i was in Thailand, I was happily running around PHuket island on a Honda Wave R?

Its not the bike and the people looking at you. its how much you feel with yourself on your ride that makes all the difference.

Fuckin ACTION!! Seeing you this type of riders on the road, i confrim give you a free middle finger... THAT MI!

Instead of ENCOURAGE peoples around sgForums. You and me are just a junior in sgForums and you are [email protected]#$% talking big here.. So what if you are riding R1, yours is the world faster? Or you wanna let the whole world know you are riding R1.. Talk about P-plate so are you telling mi that you dun start from a P-plate. If you are toking about FACT so what?

Just my 2 cent Twisted Evil Evil or Very Mad

Thanks for the replies.

I have a tight budget, i think it will be better for me to get a 2nd hand one. Is 2000 enough to get a 2nd hand cbr150 or rxz, including all the tax, insurance?

kopiosatu SG

if u just want a bike to get around, i recommend the "Lao K" Mr. Green

anyway, for $2K... it MIGHT be enough.

LoudnessFZ SG

anyone see any R1 on the road just bang em,chances are it might be that libbytan,haha

R3SsH|n SG

wave 125 can get for $1400 machine, $1600 otr

viciouskitty74 SG

You kidding me! 2nd hand rite?

Where? Who?

R3SsH|n SG

a friend's friend.

gUms SG

Eh idiot , i think u dont even have a license ... so shut the faRk up

gUms SG

2k ar ....... i think u up abit to 2.5k la , so at least can get abit newer plate .
As for insuarance
Call up mitsui & ntuc insuarance and ask them to quote u , ur insuarance price .
And also remember now there is a new rule for new riders , you need to pay an extra of $150 for ur insuarance.

shin-kyo SG

im not a rider. im a driver.

but from the post u have said, i feel that is really too disappointed to hear.

our fren here just got his class2B and u expect him to wait till he get class2 then ride a bike which is abt another 2yrs+ time? then wat for they have class 2b and class 2a for? might as well go straight to class 2? he is asking for class 2b bike, not class 2. i not sure if u are trying to boost to tell everyone here u ride a R1 here or wat. and mind ur words, with the senstance u mention, u have offend alot of ppl. no matter wat bike ppl ride on, is not wat lowest form of creature on the road. if u want to say till like that, i will say ur R1 is one of the lowest form of creature in class 2 cos u lose to Hayabusa(sorry if wrong spelling). will u feel happy?
