need some advice here...I have looked at other threads but see
no advice on whether one can buy a bike at under $1.5K
I am a newbie here who is looking to buy a bike. I am very tempted
to buy a good second hand bike but don't know what a good second
hand bike means.
I am very tempted by a few options:
1.) LC125- going at $380 ( 1 year left)
2.) NSR150Sp-$900(12 years old)
3.)RXZ -$800 ( 12 years old) all culled from the classified section
of the Strait Times.
Most of these have about 8 years left on the COE which means they
are over 12 years old. Will they be too troublesome to maintain and
not safe to ride on?
I want to keep my budget below $1500 , since cash is pretty short
and i will be upgrading into a 2A licence soon. I will also not be
using the bike often since i already use a car to travel to
varsity. Visited several shops and feel extremely pressured to buy
a new bike . Being so cheap and old , i have this nagging feeling
that the above bikes aren't really safe
Also , friends tell me to buy bikes from the open market rather
than from shops which charge a commission
Any advice on what i should do?
thanks
