Re: 2nd hand s'pore bike...

I have rode the ER6 for 3 weeks now and would like to share my experience with those interested.

After a few days of riding, I once parked the bike on the lawn in my garden. Due to its weight and the soggy soil, it fell down. I have to seek the assistance of my 2 daughters to lift it back into position. Verdict: It is a damn heavy machine

Cruising along the old Gombak-Bentong road is a breeze. I am still struggling trying to negotiate the KL traffic every morning and after work. I have yet to learn the skill of "chilok". It is not easy to squeeze in between jammed cars. At times when I am caught in the traffic I said to myself "This is just like driving". The only advantage is when there is some space on I am on 3rd gear, opening the throtle is exhilarating. The G force almost pull my chest away from my arm. Verdict: Extraordinary quick acceleration for a 55 year old rider

Night riding is a pain. After dinner with some friends one night, I was struggling reach home safely. The tail light should have been brighter to attract attention of other road users. Verdict: Add on more tail light, use reflectors on your jacket and helmet.

Some reviews says ER6n max speed is 214kph. I believe it is correct as on 6th gear at 4000 rpm, the bike runs at 80kmh. Therefore at 8000 rpm the bike will go at 160kph. The techometer is redlined at 11000, so the top speed is 220 kph according to my calculation.

I have not gone beyond 4000 rpm as mine is still in the first stage running in. Yesterday I clocked 600 km on the odometer. This means I have completed the first stage and going into the final stage running in where I can ramm the engine up to 6000 rpm.

The truth is, I am 55 years old and will never go beyond 6000 rpm which I estimate is equivalent to 120 kph on 6th gear. I am too scared at that speed.

Versys got better review than ER6n on suspension and handling. If you travel on gravel road, Versys will do much better as it is a dual purpose bike meant for the city and country roads. ER6 vibrate a lot especially when I am on 1st or 2nd gear at 3,000 - 4,000 rpm. On 3rd gear it is rather smooth with extraordinaory accelerating power. Go for Versys if you are 5ft 6in tall or above. I am 5' 3" and dare not ride a Versys oferred by my friend. I can bearly touch the ground.

Re: 2nd hand s'pore bike...

Singapore bike, for renewal, I think you can use runner. Someone can do it for you. A lot of people don't mind going to singapore as they go there to shop for items for their bike or riding gear. Much cheaper there. Like get a Shoei or Arai helmet there. In case of accident, theft, claim, it is very troublesome. It is very cheap to get singapore or thai registered bike, only if you're ok with all those hassle. ER-6n is not that expensive here.

Don't say so fast first. When you get the adrenaline rush, you will exceed it without you realise it. Especially when fellow biker overtake you, and you try to tag along. It is fun and addictive. If really wanna know the limit of the bike and improve on the skill, Sepang is the best place.

You want people or other road user to notice you, light is not that big an impact. Exhaust is the way to go.

Re: 2nd hand s'pore bike...

basically the singapore bike needs to be de-registered in singapore and then exported to where ever .... ditto for cars

google 'used car exporters singapore' or 'singapore used motorcycle exporter' etc etc or you can DIY with Land Transport Authority (LTA) ... check out their website for details http://www.lta.gov.sg/

You are right. I have done 180 kph on the East Coast Highway on the way to Termeloh recently. I never thought I would go that fast. My friends on ER6 did 210 kph. If you are interested on ER6 try this forum http://er6.my-forums.net

Re: 2nd hand s'pore bike...

I think Singapore bike mentioned here is buying singapore bike and as a singapore bike. If bike singapore bike and register in Malaysia, still have to pay for all the tax and duty. Here, they are using it as Singapore bike, singapore reg no, that's why it is cheap.

Be careful of the East coast Highway. Claim a lot of bikers already. And please, don't look at the speedo all the time, look at the road. At that kind of speed, a split second translate to a lot of distance. Have to be really careful, just remember, don't go faster than you can brake. Try to practice emergency brake. See how you bike cope with the braking and how you handle it. See how far the bike need to go before total stop. It saves life. You don't wanna do first time emergency brake during the time you really need it.

I'm not interested in naked bike. My heart is with sportbike especially twin. I was track junkie. Hardly ride on the road. Did a lot of track day. But stop biking for the time being. Too much pressure from family. Especially the time I have a little tumbling at T4 and got 2 days memory lost. It was banned after that. Will make a come back later on but not in near future.

Nice ride bro. RM30k is a good price indeed. Did you buy the bike at Welly Batu Caves?

May consider getting this bike to supplement rather than replace my jalan2 cari makan Modenas Elite 150 LOL. I've had my B-Full licence since 2000 but never took the plunge to buy a big bike. Can't ride a sports bike anymore due to back injury. So an upright riding position is a must but no easy riders for me la.

Since I've made the missus happy this year by getting her a new car, I can now get a new bike lah kan? Better a bike than spend money on other naughty things.

Cheers!!

Re: 2nd hand s'pore bike...

No, I did not get it from Welly Batu Caves eventhough Welly is just a stone throw away from my home. Undeniably, I visited them umpteen of times before making the buy decision - that's after considering all the available models and make. The people there are very helpful.

The 2009 model is now selling at RM32,500 while the limited edition version is going for RM34,500. I have just got my B Full a day before the bike was ready for collection. Since you have got it much earlier, are you not getting one soon? Visit the forum I suggested for more info on ER6 community in Malaysia. A few PM forumers are also there

I will be glad to assist you if you wish.
