Hi ! I am considering buying a PHantom 200 or Daystar 125, is the Daystar very underpower compare to the Phantom? Pls comment only when u have actually ridden the two. How about durability, and price on parts? Thank U !!SSSSSSSSSSSS (If U anyhow answer, u will be bitten by a COBRA!!!)

daniuge SG

I never ride any of it before but i am going to but Phantom 200 for sure. Somehow feel that Phantom is a better bike compared to Daystar

hi, tough i always ans stupid, but this time i really rode Daystar b4, my ex-classmate's one. DAMN BLOODY.... no power.... top 130-140 only... good to see, lousy to eat.

But Phantom... die die oso better than daystar one... somemore Daystar LOW LOW LOW resale value, u buy at high price, but u wanna sell... still must TIAP $$$!!

roger SG

the daystar is a damm heavy bike. therefore handling wise it loses out to phantom.
in terms of power it loses out to phantom cos only 125cc.

its better to get the phantom

Hi everyone...

I'm new to this forum and I'd like to say "hello" to all fellow riders.

I'm currently riding the Phantom 200 and so far I'm happy with the bike. It runs well and it is quite fuel efficient. I personally like the sound of its exhaust (1 of the reasons i bot the bike) which is pretty garang. I'm still running in the engine... so i can't give u any top speeds or anything, but it has an "eager" engine.

But being long bike... I'm still taking time to control the turn well...have to find the rite gear and throttle out of the bends for max control. One flaw is tat u have to watch out for rust spots... so u have to spend time to maintain ur baby...especially durning tis rainy season. Good luck in finding ur dream bike.

hi. i'm pretty interested in phantom 200. so how much is the cost on road for this bike? wat colors does it comes with?

Transcendence SG

Well... I got it from Looi's at 7k on the road. Heard you can get it cheaper but I jus couldn't be bothered running to every Motordiam in singapore. Looi's was recommended by a friend and the ppl r pretty helpful.

As for colours... I got the black n grey one. The other one i liked was the blue/white classic coloured one. There's a red one...but to me quite char bo colour.

Think there should be lots of 200s around now... think the new shipment of bikes is coming in during this time. Try Mah motor if u want...think their shipment comes in early next month. (They quoted me the same price as Looi) They seem to sell out pretty fast. When I got my bike last month...the whole shipment was sold out. These bikes r orso parrallel imported...Boon Siew hasn't got any yet...but soon tho. Anyway the info was helpful.

Transcendence SG

Looi's at 55 Kaki Bukit Place

Transcendence SG

Errrm...ultimately I think its wot u r comfortable with paying for a 2B bike (remember...u will probably upgrade one day)

Besides most 4 stroke choppers in this class come in 125cc. So its up to you. For me... I want unique and stylo too... after i get my class 2 lor...then buy a Harley Razz

wha, out of nowhere so many newbies come in ar….

I think Phantom 200 is the best value for money, cheap & big engine. Also u can consider Honda shadow 125, Yamaha Dragstar 125, Suzuki Intruder 125. I personally like the Intruder better than the Phantom, V twin piston, but I duno how is the power compare to the Phantom 200, so pick your choice & let me know the outcome if u ever tested the 125cc chopper.
