to be honest i think a bit the expensive leh, i phantom 200 first hand only $5900 when i bought it. that was 3 months back lor. now i think price maybe drop $200-300 liao lor. imagine juz pay $1000 more u get first hand, and its Phantom 200 lor. no problem one. if u got problem, get repair u need to pay again. a bit bo hua lor with all the money and time spent.

FS Phantom 150 at 4500 a bit steep the price. u buying from motor tiam?
if yes, get them to do a full servicing on ur bike. i also bought my phantom from motor tiam. i got them to do a full servicing on my bike. until now no problem with it. but best is u go to the shop regularly and check on progress and see when they strip the bike, the bodyframe got crooked or not.

WhitePhantom SG

haha... the prices now are between 4200-4800
the one i getting is FS in gd condition, stil shiny...... 4500
try not to get above 4500 lor..
but for FR plate... i tink confirm is below 4500
that is the rough prices u can get....
however if can find cheaper ones, make sure u check the condition n history lor..
today i check 2 shops selling phantom FS
1st: 4250 but got fall b4.. behind signal light chipped off, dirt n dust....
2nd 4500 but never buang n stil shiny...

therefore i chose the 2nd one lor..

Ask them do full servicing for u lah. And also polishing. I got the motor tiam to change my clutch and brake lever, the tyres, the handle grips and the position of the ERP unit. Also i got a bike cover free, free helmet, free P plates and free 2 bottles of 2T. also engine oil they change for me and then they polish all the chrome parts. and also wax the paintwork. see if u can get the same for ur bike.

WhitePhantom SG

i tink once i collect it, as long as can start n the biting point to my liking can liao..
i go back polish myself lor..
but the boss say he gimme 1 yr 'warranty'
dunno whether bluff anot..
i goin to ask him for a black n white proof of that...
Smile
i stil quite blur on petrol n 2T..

just wondering whether the phantom is prone to scratches from road debris and pebbles thrown by by cars or lorries?

do u think a bike can remain scratch free after it leaves the showroom?

daniuge SG

as long as u dun buang, and wash/polish it often, u can keep the bike shiny for quite a long time after u leave the show room lor Smile i think sports bike are more prone to debris becoz of fairing, bigger surface area mah Smile

toons9 SG

aiyo u all so perfectionist ahh....if u want ya bike without scratches best way is not to leave the showroom at all!
go on the road suRe will kenna tis kenna tat 1 mahz.....
imagine getting a handphone but dowan any fingerprints on it....
