is it kick or ele start?

personallly i think the bike lack a rpm meter and fuel gauge....looks also not as gd as sp...

but my gf is scare of height cos sp back seat high loh

and also have intention to fix a box ...so had to give sp a miss

heard the bike also dont need 2t...one thing it is better than sp loh...hee

insurance cheaper and bike parts wont kena stolen like sp.....heee...like what happen to my friends!!

PLS advice...BASICALLY JUST WANT TO KNOW IF PH200 IS A GOOD BIKE TO MAINTAIN....the pro and con of the bike...

Thanks!!

eric_jugonz SG

maintainence shouldn't be a problem i think, corz 4 stroke mah...
petrol consumption i think is not as much as Phantom 150, the rest i dunno...
electric start...
no rpm gauge, have to feel yourself...
no petrol gauge - when you're out of petrol you will know, hard to explain... when it happens turn to reserves, surely can tahan until the next petrol kiosk...

i go jb top up one...if low...still can go how many km on reserve tank?me stay bt panjang....near to jb loh.

if near to out of pertrol,got red light to show...right?

u meant 200 eat less petrol than 150??

eric_jugonz SG

no red light to show, when no petrol you will feel the bike bo lat bo lat...
or to play safe you top up whenever you travel certain mileage...
a full tank ph200 can go at least 280km i think, before it hit the reserves...

ph200 eat less petrol i heard from the motorshop pple when i buy my bike...

WhitePhantom SG

phantom200 confirm consumes less petrol than 150... cos its a 4 stroke...
my 150 can travel up to 260km w/o hitting reserve... so roughly a phantom 200 can travel about 280-300km..
no need 2T, no need check coolant, no need kick start...

Any disadvtange of TA200 to share??

vti_79 SG

coolant must check what.....cos every bike need water,right?u mean it wouldnt DRy UP??

do we know if the bike is on reserve tank??like is there a light to show??

acoolboy7 SG

for the bike to run on reserve, u have to switch it urself. so no need for indicator.

roger SG

1) chrome parts will be tatty after months
of use. rust might set in too

2)if you are a fast rider, you will be disapppointed with the 200

Hi there,i've been riding the TA200 for 8 mths and this is what i feel:

Thumbs up:1)low fuel consumption
2)low maintenance
3)powerful and steady engine
(for a 2B bike);
130km/h with pillion no problem!
Fxxk up : 1)lousy chrome.i spotted specks of
rust just two weeks on the road!Even though i clean diligently there's still rust formation.
2)Slow pickup.get used to smelling the exhaust of all those sp,tzr or even vespa when the lights turn green.
3)Needs long warming up for the engine to really get going.
4)Tyres that are prone to skid.

Overall however if you are the type of safety rider who dont mind all the super4s n sp zooming pass u its a good road bike,cheap mah.($5500+ first hand.)
Your girl wil also appreciate the comfortable sit and the convienence of the box.

vti_79 SG

i think i am someone who will always take care of my bike...so rust will not be a problem.....just give it some WD-40 to prevent rust..or oil the bike

i am not a fast rider....if i am i will go for sp...

just someone who need transport cos doing shift work at tuas area...and also to bring gf around during rest days

TOO OLD TO "PLAY" ALREADY..haha

intelinside SG

By the way im new here so can anyone direct me to any forum where i can advertised something?
I want to sell my shoei fullface helmet(black with purple streaks) which i bought during a sale for $250. But after i got my TA200 it became redundant..

Noah SG

Seems like the Phantom 200 doesn't have any radiator tank. Think is air-cooled one. So no coolant to check.

Heard that the exhaust pipe gets pretty hot. Just remind your GF to keep her legs away from the exhuast pipe. Heard of people having their shoe soles melted on the exhaust. Of course nobody intentionally out their legs at the exhaust, but just take note.

eric_jugonz SG

ooh! sounds familiar!!

lanxx SG

what design? got any pics?

nick34 SG

what he say is from bryan's bike whose exhuast got a shoe printed on by aaron's GF hhahahah i have just seen his bike ... looks disfigure

vti_79 SG

no coolant??wait go jb jam how??
will heat up or not....never know how bike without coolant will react under such cirs...

as for the melting of shoe sole......just ask her to be careful loh....no choice.....

smell smoke of scootor also.....quite sad lei....but i one that pratice safe riding....so not a problem....

but hope that the rust part can be improved loh.....u try adding oil to those part??cos u put oil wont rust ma...but the metal will not look so shiny loh.....

vti_79 SG

but will cutting in and out of traffic be a big problem....??

cos lets say traffic jam will we have more difficult time trying to squeeze through?as we cant "au" like sport bike and also our handle bar is longer too...

wait kena car mirror...hahah!!!

Imaginary SG

Once you are used to the bike, manoveuring between cars is a breeze; in fact, even when I had two side boxes mounted on the bike, it was quite easy to squeeze... unless of course the driver delibrately blocks your way.. Grrr.... Mad
There are some drivers who do that... dunno why...
