    More economical if you’re an active rider who do a lot of touring. For causal riders will still stick to Sg bike as they can access anytime if they just wants to do some road riding locally or joyride.

      Yes sir u r rite. Those of us who bought in msia spent a lot of time riding in msia. That's y it makes sense. 😂 And we already know what bike we wants as long termer. So the bike will be with us for a long time.

      The problem will be solved very soon. Cos me and my frds renting a space to park our bikes and will make it available to Singapore bikers too, for a monthly parking fee. It will be secure, with metal gate and roller shutter and under shelter. We are scouting for a place now. Tentatively we will get it started by July latest. Those interested can wa me at 9297 nine351. There will be limited slots also. Cos we already have 6-7 bikes. And more and more are joining. 🤣

    can you recommand you bike shop to buy? and place to rent to park the bike? Good idea sia, I own a 2b bike in Singapore, and want to ride Africa twin. But I realised the cost of owning a class 2 bike is too high and no much use for Singapore road.

    • @Eatdrinkrideuncle
      @Eatdrinkrideuncle  Месяц назад +3

      Hi bro. Ya.. it's very tiring and pointless to ride a class 2 bike in sg. The shop i went to mostly sell Suzuki but I will ask them where to buy the twin. Most probably at the Honda big wing dealer in jb. Africa twin if new should be less than 30k sgd in msia. Will update

      Hi bro, around half a year for me, some of my frds around 1,2 years. No theft issues but probably becos it is vstrom. If more ex bikes like BMW, Ducati, have to find a secure place to park. Theft of parts like brembo thou, hard 2 say. No issues with language cos I'm not fluent in Malay too. Most of the malays in workshop in jb are able to understand English too. And many workshops and bikeshop have Chinese bosses or staff.
