Wah say scram until like that.... actually scram not bad mah... only thing is dangerous a bit.... ai ya... ride what also dangerous.... take bus better.... Very Happy

tapiocaflash SG

gers not suitable for scram, unless you have exceptionally long legs, if not it’s really not a good sight seeing you tip-toeing upon stopping (of course, this is DANGEROUS as you can’t even stabilize yourself by putting your legs down ). this applies even for guys.

ah_tee SG

aiyo..

scram where got low low one...
dun worry la, seen plenty of chicks on ktms 2 , once in a while on ktm4

yes, scram is indeed scary, even more scary than my fat bike, rite henry?

Its better to get a bike suitable for ur height. Let say if u r not that tall maybe get a sports bike or skipper. If u r tall, then shouldnt be a prob.

orb15 SG

i'm about 1.69m... and hee, i'm getting the wr200!!! =)

scrams r good 4 pickin up ridin skills
coz it take some skills to ride a scram esp in trailin
when scram riders change to sportsbike they can pick up the skills faster

and currently i might change bak to scram again but not dt200rr liaoz~ tis time its kdx Very Happy

l3stat SG

eh how's ur bike ah? any recommendations if i were to get that bike? what the usual price and age like?

------------------
rock hard... ride free...

operator SG

Pick up - good.
Cruising speed - 90 - 100 km/h
Top Speed 120 km/h (stock conditions)
Maintenance - relatively cheap.... i send for carb wash and air filter check every 3 months although the mechanic recommend 4-6 mths.
Starting - easy. 3-4 kicks although it depends on individual bikes.
Fuel Consumption - 1 litre ard 25-30 km.
Reliabilty - ride for 5 months already. No major problem.
Cost - FQ shld cost ard 5K to 5.5K.

Anyway, what expectations you looking for??

orb15 SG

I got an offer FM costing ard the same price... hmm, am i being conned? hee, but actually, i really know nuts abt bikes, and my fren is actually the one deciding which bike for me...

personnally i really feel that riding a scam is beri beri dangerous and not practical. no offence to those riding scrams here...cannot do good conering, high centre of gravity causing balancing to be difficult and one last thing, TOO HIGH LIAO Very Happy maybe because i too short liao, everytime i stand beside a scam i will start thinking how pple climb onto it tokking bout roads, i everytime got a place want to go then dunno how to go i will check the road directories first then plan my route before going. or else beri no an quan gan
