adrealin7 SG

hi,
i m a new biker who juz pased 2b. congrates to meself Cool / i just want to ask u friendly folks here what's a good price for a 2nd hand bike ?
i had sniffed ard some motorbike shops and found the followin prices;
-- 2 yr old phantom 150 ; 3.8k
-- 4 yr old nsr sp; 3.2k--3.5k
-- 5 yr old tzr ; 1.9k
-- 2 yr old aprilla -- bout 3.2k

i know there r b quite a lof more consideration like insurance, spare parts prices (exprcialy aprilia) other than this gross price, but any of u folks who mux hav better experience, kindly giv me ur 2 cents ) .
I am looking more at the sp, cos is there, in terms of looks but the phantom seems to be more stable, safe ?

also, any 6 feet 1" sp//aprilia riders .... can let me know will back-pain, leg pain boh,..... from the constant hunching n curling of the legs onto the cute small, machines ? )

if its me, i will go for the aprilia, nothing beats riding an italian machine,hehheheeh

anyway, its up to the individual,

i m not sure about the foot n the feet measurements,

but i m abt 175cm, initial rides on the aprilia, is bery bery demanding for ur back, but once ur used to it , then all will be well, coz aprilia riding position is much much more agreesive than other bikes

phantom and tzr are difficult to sell.... aprilla is expensive to maintain while nsr is too common. In any case, you will look odd with riding these 'small' bikes(with reference to your hugh body frame). Maybe you wanna look into scooters. You will still look odd riding one but be it with some attitiude(half-egg helmet with shades or googles....so cool....). The idea is to ride the storm for 1 yr, then upgrade to 2A bikes. I'm standing at 173cm and feel veri, veri small riding the super4.....maybe ur 185cm frame fits just nicely.....good luck though

ammo SG

Let me know if u are interested in aprilia
my friend is letting go of his in very good condition for a low low price due to upgrading

cheers >

ah_tee SG

then shldnt be a problem then, should fit in nice n well, but for other bikes, might feel its abit small

anyway, gd luck, n scout around for a good one, things could get messy wif a problematic aprilia

HighwayAngel SG

Heheheh hey ah tee , thanks for speaking up for aprillia and tzr… anyway… i’m not really interested in whats that guy unless he said something bad about the bikes itself… on the resale part… well… i dun think tzr is really that hard to sell… unless ure trying to sell over to pple who are crazy over sp or big bikes… well there are still alots of riders out there who does not wanna rider big bikes and are willing to pay for old japanese make bike….
