bike review part 2

oops where was I?

I was talking about my bike and before I know it it was time to go home. ish.

so anyway

How does it handle?

Well its light and nimble, unfortunately the rider is not. He's heavy and tall and if he's not careful, he'll end up in a bush because he couldnt steer the bike in time around a corner (He wishes it is another kind of bush).

Full tank of petrol?

12 litres, this will take him 350 km

Luggage space?

Nil. well, under the seat is where the tool kit is located, here you can keep your handphone and wallet....and thats it.....

Raining?

A new rain coat will do me just fine. Preferably one that fits in a little zip up bag.

The only part that wont get covered is shoes and socks. Oh well....

Total on the road price?

Rm 8725.33

Loan?

D/p: Rm 5000

Interest: 10%

For 24 months.

dream on jun

Yamaha R6

*sigh, i can only wish right?*

Yamaha R1

A friend and I once discussed about sex on wheels. And we both agreed we liked the same car. Well to me, THIS is sex on two wheels. .drool............this is my dream bike. (er...one that i can actually afford) The "other" dream bike is one that i will never be able to afford.




A 1000 cc crotch rocket capable of hitting 250 kmph without a fuss. Be prepared to set aside Rm 85 k to secure this dream.
I would even go as far as to say this bike is the Ferrari of the motor world. Its not the fastest or most powerful but *my god* can it ride.

Satruday 10th May

In the evening, about 2.30 ish, I decided to drop by this shop in Bukit Kuda, called Cheah Motor.
When i passed by months ago it looked small.
.
.
.
Now its HUGE.
what do they do?
Well they sell motorbikes of course. Not those kapcai ones. Big monstrous fire breathing ones.
I went inside and it was pure 4th Level heaven. (why i say 4tth level is because there are other shops in KL with more bikes, and of course you need a bigger wallet too) But we'll leave that for another day.
.
.
.
At first I didnt want to in case i was tempted, but i proceeded to look at the bigger bikes first. These are not 400 cc or 600 cc or even 800 cc. No, these were the 1200-1400 cc bikes. Ok enough cuci mata time to get real. *smacks self*
.
.
.
A guy working there approached me. Okay one thing about some car or motorbike shops is that you may be served by someone in a black suit,with a nice blue tie, and polished shoes. I dont like these places because if you turned up in a kapchai or kelisa, he'll just look at you and say "who are you?" *hint coughNAZA cough *
.
.
.

But this dude was in his greasy jeans, green tshirt (coz thats the shop uniform) and spoke in that friendly Malaysian accent tone.
I asked him which bike I prefered. (great start, 1 point for him, he never asked me my budget)
So I proceeded to tell him that
a) I'm a beginner. I dont want a bike bigger than 600 cc.
b) I have a tight budget of under Rm 15 k
c) I will be doing office trips instead of long distance.

He immediately pointed in the direction of 3 nice little bikes that would do the job.
1) The Naza Blade 250 -2nd hand Rm 8 k (new price Rm 15k)
2) A yamaha Virago 500 -2nd hand Rm 9-10 k (new price Rm 40 k)
3) Yamaha FZ150i - brand new. yes just came out a few weeks ago. Rm 8 k

waaaaaaaaaaaah
I immediately fell inlove with one of them. I wont say which one yet. Maybe the pictures will do the talking.
He knew exactly which one i wanted, coz he read my mind! LOL
His reasoning - well,
1) If theres a brand you can trust, why not go for it,
2) Even one is more powerful, you might not be able to trust a Chinese Brand (*cough Naza cough*)
3) A 500 cc bike is very comfortable and strong, but er......you want a 12 year old bike?
