I'm from Singapore, and it's really common for us bikers here to put a lot of boxes on our bikes, particularly the top box, as they're often our daily drivers and you either own a bike or a car, rarely both (It's expensive...). I doubt they were going on tour, likely just went to work :)
Ahhhh fascinating, thank you for sharing this🙂
I should live in Singapore Here in the United States and I use my dual sport kawasaki klx 300 with a huge top box for errands-luv it!
Fun video love “traveling”with you and Monica
Cheers mate
USA
@@allans7281 don’t. Your KLX300 cost triple the amount here in Singapore. 😅
Same situation at Johor Malaysia
Exactly 💯
Avenger and Pulsar are from Indian manufacturer named Bajaj. They also have 49% stake in KTM . Pulsar is a series of motorcycles, that comes in different cc. It’s very popular in India.
Thank you- you’ve educated me here!🙂🇮🇳
Also, Bajaj has tied up with Triumph in India and will release new motorcycles very soon.
49% not in KTM, in join venture firm.
Lousy Bajaj bikes
@@ericpeterson6822 are you kidding Bajaj developed some brilliant 200 and 375 cc engines and they are both used in KTM and Bajaj motorcycles.
You and Monika are truly brave travelers. You are also creating some superb memories and when you get senior citizen you will marvel at what you did...guaranteed.
Thanks so much, we’re gigantically enjoying it!🙂
Such a treat to see Monika's pretty smile (12:30). Of the places I've been for work, Singapore is one I would love to visit again. Such happy memories of the Botanic Gardens and the food markets. A unique place in the world; the light show at Gardens of the Bay is something I'll never forget. And all the green scape on the buildings! Thank you for this reminder of a very special place.
Hi! Local here. Really enjoyed your video! Btw, after the first 10 years, actually there are 3 options. The 3rd one is that you can buy another 'COE' for 5 years instead, for roughly half the cost of full 10 years COE. But the downside is that after the 15th year, you have to scrap or car/bike. But if you go for the 10 years, you can keep on renewing for 10-20 or for how many more decades you want. But if im not wrong, after the 30th year, you have to convert you car/bike to a classic scheme, the ones with the yellow/red registration plate. Like the vespa shown earlier in your vid.
Thank you Freddie for making me feel slightly better about my insistent checking, double then triple checking of every booking I make to travel (and all again on the day of travel 😂)...your story in Huggs Coffee (great coffee shop name, by the way!) has in my mind justified my obsession with checking I have everything right and in order.
I also heard Monika's mind thinking "where is that travel insurance form?" as she filmed you test riding the little Yam for the first time, that little laugh she gave was not a laugh of confidence! 🤣
🤣🤣this is so true! I genuinely don’t even want to check the travel insurance because I’m almost certain I’ve entered some personal info incorrectly. I’ve just had to become numb to it, otherwise it’s far too stressful!
7:40 I think the umbrella is to reduce glare from the sun so you can see what's on the screen.
I learnt this one hour after filming after seeing the riders protecting their phones☀️ Makes perfect sense now!
@@FreddieDobbs
Ya especially for food delivery workers.
Their phone has to be constantly on and charged..
If you're going to Indonesia, you'd be crazy if you went to Bali and not Southern Lombok to ride bikes. The coastal road is outrageously stunning.
I think we’ll visit Lombok too- we’ve been before and it felt like Bali 30 years ago!😍
@@NakaNakaDerkaDerka chances of being robbed? Bali is no more likely for that than anywhere else. I'd feel much more in danger of being robbed in UK than anywhere in SE Asia
@@FreddieDobbs I can't wait to see the videos. The roads along the southern coast are jaw dropping 😁👌
It is awesome to see you guys in Singapore. Welcome to my beloved country. A lot of things here will both shock and amaze people. I hope you guys enjoy your time here! I wish I could have bumped into you and said hi and maybe show you guys around a bit haha
Thank you so much, I’m delighted to be here!🙂🇸🇬
@@FreddieDobbs Hey mate may i know where was/is the hotel u stayed in? Im Singaporean but have to relocate for a week as my house is being renovated !
LOL When Monika said is this our bike
It broke my heart!😆
Big thanks again to Monika and Freddie to “Teleporting” us to another part of the 🌍 on a sunday morning in Düsseldorf 😉
Hi, thanks for your reply. I’m a bit embarrassed to not knowing how to „hit someone up“
(wouldn’t want to 😔 hurt anyone)
The reason why you noticed a lot of Pulsars is because the workshop you walked past (universal motors) is the sole distributor for Bajaj motorcycles in Singapore! That's why almost all Pulsars go there for their servicing.
WOW!!..Singapore sure has changed since the 80's...LOL..we took double decker buses everywhere..the upper deck didnt have a roof...was the best way to sight see ever at that time..there were lots of European tourists there on holiday also....sounds like Monika needs to book everything from now on...LOL...excellent video...
The locals we spoke to say that it changes so quickly here, you can notice the changes year by year! Monika is now the sole booker of everything😆
those double decker buses without a roof aren't public transport. They're for tourists
Pulser and Avenger r of Bazaz. One of top Indian company. They manufacture KTM bikes. It will soon manufacture Triumph sub 300cc bikes.
I’ve literally just learnt this yesterday- I had no idea about this company before. Thanks for the heads up🙂🙌🏻
Cars are crazy prices in Singapore but the public transport is very good (and spotlessly clean). The certificate to get into Singapore must be a relatively new thing - I was there in Oct 2019 and it wasn't required.
If you're referring to the COE , its been around for decades. And yes, for context, the public transport is significantly effevtive, however, it isnt favoured for day to day necessary life for working people.
The overcrowding and uncomfortable journey and delays that are constantly caused by rush hour is physically draining. Not to mention, most business districts are very, very far away from people's homes, so you can easily spend 2 or 3 hours travelling per day, in a country that's barely 60km wide.
@@aries666dc this sounds like some form of hell 😳. And I thought London is bad.
@@AsmodeusT trust me, the breakdowns and delays are nothing compared to london. Singaporeans are just spoilt.
@@albertlwj yeah mate, you got that right. Singaporeans should ride in rush hour traffic in Mumbai. They'll know what rush hour really means😂.
@@MrJustforkicks Singaporeans complain about how everything is expensive, but have no qualms spending 2-3k on a new phone 2-3 times a year or 10k on a bag
Hi guys, it's great to see you in Singapore. I was there about 20 years ago, so I expect things have changed since then. You must go for a "Singapore Sling" in Raffels Hotel before you leave.
Thanks for this Phil- I’ll check this on google now🙂
Not much to be honest - there's some new areas that have been built and some new malls but it hasn't changed that much
11:27 Those red/yellow plates are special vintage vehicle registrations. You only pay 10% of those expensive extra costs, but you can only use said vehicle for 45 days a year.
Great vlog Freddie and Monika! Great to see you both exploring the Far East. Yes and that stomach churning feeling when you realise you have messed up on the booking. I’ts not just me then.
It’s a dreadful feeling- I had to just become numb to it😆 Bali tomorrow morning!✈️
Nice one. I was in Singapore and Malaysia last month. I visited the Ducati dealer in Penang and I had a nice chat with one of the sales guys standing by a V4 Panigale. I said that it must be some kind of hell riding such a hot bike in that steaming heat. He didn't disagree!
Just came back from Singapore what a amazing place
Learn so much from you about nice plalces in the world. I ḿ not a traveller myself but enjoy yr videos very much. Thanks!
That’s very kind of you to say so, thank you!🙂
From one of your Singaporean subscribers, welcome to Singapore!
Prices of vehicles here are always a shocker for foreigners, and it's a constant grumble for us locals.
I'm not a proponent of the tax system, but it keeps the vehicle population in check (controls congestion, which plaques many Asian cities) and encourages use of public transport, which the government has invested heavily in.
Anyways, hope you enjoy your time here on the sunny island state!
Interesting about reduction in traffic reasons feels tome exactly what’s happening in uk for less well off except zero rubbish public transport
Thank you so much, I’m delighted to be here 🙂🇸🇬
Really great to hear from a local about vehicle ownership, thank you.
it actually doesn't do a proper job of keeping vehicle population in check, because all it means is that the rich own more cars than they need.
Everywhere we travel around the world, for biking or for the family, I have never seen someone in the group or even myself making some mistake at one point or another. I have also seen that people are patient when they notice an anxious tourist. We are only human. The government and tourist agencies should be absolutely empathetic towards such situations/people.
The hotel staff were incredibly kind and probably saved me £100s!🙂
Hey Freddie! Whenever you're in Singapore and keen to do a ride around town or even to nice places, do give me a heads up! The bike culture is very different here from many countries due to the ridiculous price of vehicle ownership. Most of us commute on a 2B moped (up to 200cc bikes) as we have to go thru licensing for 3 years before we can ride something like the GS! Would love to show you around the bike culture of SG!
Oh man, so cool to see you here! Don't worry; jaywalking is ok :) the reputation of Singapore is much stricter than reality haha! BTW Mutt from Birmingham is picking up in Singapore. I used to have 125 Hilts before switching to Ducati Scrambler 400cc after upgrading my license to 2A:)
Ahhh thank you Max- I didn’t want to risk breaking any rules here, but I was curious as to the reality! Great choice on the Duc- off the scale cool bike🙂🔥
😂that small lane is ok, this rule is more applicable for busy 3 lane junctions and expressways or places where underpasses, overhead bridges and traffic lights are visibly nearby
fyi jaywalking is not ok , just that you have not been caught by the traffic police , lol dont spread false info
@@sdqsdq6274 yes, on paper jay walking is illegal every but seriously even if you were to cross this particular lane and right in front of police and TP they are not going to do anything, because it’s not worth their time in the first place. If that is the case, I wonder how you get to your car in open air carpark, that one also called jaywalking, as you can say that one will kena saman.
Thanks for the Singapore video Freddie. Have been there a few times and really enjoyed the experience and especially the food. What impressed me most was how well organized and clean the place is. Despite the fact of very expensive vehicle ownership, it is a place I think I could enjoy living for an extended period. Law and order is very obvious. Cheers, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
You can learn at lot over a cup of coffee, well done Freddie and Monica.
Looking forward to seeing Singapore.
Freddy, we did get the CX500 in the U.K. about 40 years ago when it was a current model, there was even a Silverwing model like a mini Goldwing
Has a cx in the day worst bike iowned. Performance of a 250
@@volt8684 they weren’t know for their performance but the engine was capable of incredible mileages, I seem to remember there was even a 650 turbo version
Thanks for this Serge🙂 I’ve also just been told there was indeed a Turbo, so your memory’s spot on!
I can tell you dont ride a motorbike regularly. But small engine bikes are best to gain experience. Slow speed control is key . I've subscribed I've found this
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika
Thanks Jason🙌🏻🙌🏻
Haha, I've done exactly the same thing Freddy. I was on a two day business trip in Hong Kong and when I rocked up at the airport to depart, the check in staff told me my booking was in a month's time! The airline managed to help me out, but it was pretty embarrassing because I had done the booking myself.😅
It’s an awful feeling, made worse by the fact there’s no one else to put the blame on!😆
The CX500 is on a 'classic vehicle' red/yellow plate. Its usually reserved for vintage collector vehicle and according to regulation, they can only run X amount of days per year.
Oh dear where would you be without Monika Freddie 😁 It is interesting to see the difference in how each country tackles motoring and whether they see congestion or pollution as the main problem. I am curious to know, having heard Singapore tackle pollution by planting trees and greenery in the city centre to clean the air and cool things down? Another great travelogue, safe riding both of you.
It’s true; trees and greenery have been planted everywhere and the whole country feels incredibly free from pollution. It does all seem to work extremely well.
Welcome to Singapore, Weekday the traffic will be busier, ride safe!
Thank you🙂
You can easily ride across the causeway to Malaysia. I used to do it all the time.
I’ve heard Malaysia is stunning for biking!
You Right Since Gas Are Cheap In Malaysia USD 0.56 Per Liter
The blue cx500 is the bike to have. My first big bike 40yrs ago. Now a classic. And very desirable. Strange , considering it was known as the plastic maggot by the biking press.
Very interesting.
Safe, happy travels 👍
I wonder do you remember the Honda CX 650 Turbo ? I always longed for one, had to be happy with my Honda 400/4 👏👍😀
@@antonoat I do
The OBRUT, as it spelled in your mirror.
Great bike.
I had a 400/4, too. Another great Honda'.
Ride safe.
The CX 500 were good reliable bikes once they had the early cam chain faults sorted with the recalls . People still use them for day to day & weekend riding ,in the U.K. .
@@maskedavenger2578 spot on. Mine was an early one and needed the cam chain mod, but I'd have another in an instant. Possibly the most comfortable bike I've ridden.
Ride safe.
They’ve aged so well- timeless, elegant design🖤
Hi Freddie and Monika. I found your channel a while ago, subscribed and have enjoyed watching all the old episodes as well as all your latest. I'm 64, retired and live in Western Australia. I have a 2022 Honda CB500X and a new 2023 Royal Enfield 350 Classic Reborn in Halcyon Green. What a lovely bike that is to ride. My wife and I love watching your adventures, bike reviews, café reviews, etc. I commented the other day, "I want his life!" Can I make a request please? I think it would be cool if you put your Bonneville into a specialist motorcycle detailer and have it professionally done, complete with paint correction and metal polishing, etc. It'd be interesting to see how it looked afterwards. It would probably ride better too, lol. Keep up the great work, you guys. We really love what you do. Kind regards, Dave & Sue. :)
Hi D B, I’m 74. =RE= fan boy. My “Thumper” a blue Meteor 350. Purchased 2021. I just did the 20,000 km service in northern Thailand Phitsanulok town where I found ANT Motors multi brand dealer. Ducati and Royal Enfield. There’s also a BMW Motorrad, Harley-Davidson and Triumph dealer in this provincial town called “Pit-Lok” and for the bikers nearby the Phetchabon mountains with exhilarating twistiest. Finally, here’s my first long distance ride after becoming a =RE= owner. ruclips.net/video/V2n3QmLF4eQ/видео.html
@@apexxxx10 Sounds like great riding, John. Enjoy.
@@DB-sh4rj Sorry D B wrong video. Here’s my =RE= Meteor 350 ruclips.net/video/29C-3yY43OU/видео.html
Morning to you both. Been waiting for my Sunday morning treat ! 🏴
Good morning Mike🙂 Have a good’n!🏴
Pulsars and Avengers are both a Bajaj brand .. all indian .. easy light bikes to ride .. ranging from 150cc to 220 ccs
Singapore is awesome Freddie...enjoy!!
Thanks Derek!🙂
Before Subic Bay was closed, the Squadron I was in did a detachment to Singapore and Malaysia. Noticed all the Scooters, couldn't wait to get back to Subic get on my Harley Davidson. Thank you for this video, brought back memories.
I lived in Singapore with my family for 2 years. The underground or subway system is fantastic. Also, go to Boat Quay, and Clark Quay.
I can definitely now tell that public transport is the way to travel around Singapore. It’s a stunningly good place to live, I can imagine🙂
The story or history of hawkers in Singapore is worthy of your time. And today they are worthy of a visit. Amazing food, all cultures represented. The prices are too good to be believed.
I used to work in Sun Tech City in 2000, but I am back in the states now. Such fond memories of the friendly people, the DELICIOUS foods, the smells of the street food, the warm embrace of the morning heat, the architecture alongside the quay….loved every minute. Lots to do.
Oh Freddie you are a tonic, brilliant video and some really interesting insights into cars and motorbiles was very interesting. Yep I think we can all agree leave the booking to Monika, Monika you have the patience of a saint. Thanks guys!
Thanks Stuart!🙂 The flight to Bali is tomorrow and Indonesia’s atrocious travel app doesn’t work and we have no onward flights, so I’ll be extremely nervous at the airport!
Freddie you are a consummate raconteur - thank you both for your splendid productions- it must be hard work maintain the impressive production levels for such a prodigious output.
Avenger is from Bajaj and it was launched when there was no meteor from Royal Enfield. A splendid motorcycle with good 220 or 160 cc engine and brilliant comfort too!
My first bike was a brand new YBR125 which was a great learner. Leave the admin to Monica lol, Cheers Freddie and Monica
welcome to my homeland.
yes cars and bike are expensive here..
most of us just use the public transport to travel...taking a cab to the cbd/town area for work is much cheaper than owning a car.cars n bikes was much much cheaper 10-20 years ago..
come back here again n there are other places to explore ..
Missing home...SG...hope u guys enjoyed it, roads are empty on weekdays coz we are all busy punching our keyboards during day time :p
Hello and welcome to Singapore!
Enjoy your stay!
Thanks Daniel!
I am currently riding an italian Vespa PX200E machine and OH BOYYYYYY THE BEST DECISION EVERRRRR !!!!
I love Vespas and forever will be with me for as long as I breathe
italian beauty vespas are such immaculate machine
I love your passion for bikes! Very infectious!
the umbrella is really useful. I burned 2 screens from direct sunlight.
Enjoying your videos very much, looking forward to the continuing adventure.
Thank you Andrew!🙂
I have applied for motorcycle mechanic job in Singapore very exited to move on that's why i am seeing this vedio❤
Looks a good place to be, much better than Dubai. I hired a Vespa PX200 in Rhodes, great scooter. 2 stroke engine with handlebar gear change. News letters would tell British people not to ride in t shirt, shorts and no gloves. Beware, road rash is no fun.
Always good to see the signature Freddie low speed waddle come out. Not the most flattering!
😆
I hope you visited the tiger balm gardens ,my parents took my when I was about 7 or 8 yrs old,I’m now 62 and I’m still having nightmares,Singapore has changed a lot since I was there 😊
I don’t think we’ll have time unfortunately- today will be the last place we visit- Gardens by the Bay🙂
I would love to see Singapore 50 years ago- it must’ve felt totally different!
Love singapore and want to go back even though it is expensive, They have high tax on new cars in singapore reason for empty roads maybe, And they have a great underground which helps.
Me, too. Very looking forward to these episodes to see glimpses of how it changed.
Good.a/c in the underground too, and the only I have ever seen with plexiglas separations towards the track (for safety and climate control).
Singapore feels like a vision of the future. The friendliness and respect the locals have for everything is something I’ve never seen before.
The Honda cx500 (twin tub) used to be fairly common and favoured by dispatch riders back in the day. Honda copying guzzi in engine layout. Great video by you two as always.
It’s strange to think of this Honda as a simple dispatch vehicle😳
Not many would know but Bajaj used to make licensed Kawasakis in '90s. So the avenger is the successor to the Kawasaki eliminator 125 - with a bigger engine and slightly updated looks. Pulsar is their own model tho.
My first bike was a grey YBR125. Mine was a “naked” variant though and yours appeared to be the sporty one, with the fairings.
I much prefer the naked look👌🏻
i got my vw for $100k in 2012 and renewed my coe for $45k to run for another 10 years. As of today, coe costs in excess of $80k, exclusive of the price of the car, insurance and road tax. That being said, Singapore is pretty easy to move about via public transport.
Ayyy the Yamaha YBR125 is one of the main trainer bikes here in Singapore, used at the Comfort Delgro Driving Centre (CDC) for learning the first tier of motorcycle license (Class 2B)! The other two driving centres here (BBDC and SSDC) use Honda bikes instead!
Side note: Looks like the one you guys rented was a much older model than what's used at CDC :o
The shop next door to where you rented your bike (where the cb500 and zx7r were) is where i regularly go to service my Moto Guzzi V85TT!Hope you had a pleasant stay in Singapore!
By the way, welcome to Singapore. Please follow the rules and regulations here for an enjoyable holiday. 😊
Hi , been waiting for this , as you never see Singapore on TV other than F1 , to see the city is a treat . The blue Honda vee twin were in the UK in the late 1970,s early 80,s , as two chaps I worked with had them, one red one and the other one black . Keep an eye on Freddie , Monica, some how the heat is effecting his booking ideas , or you could end up in CHANGI Prison , my brother was often there , collecting wayward drunken sailors back in the late 1960,s to 1970,s , he always said it was a great place . Have fun and look out for the RATS .
Haha yep, Monika’s taken over ALL organising!
Your brother’s lived a colourful life- I bet he has some stories to tell!😃
Welcome to Singapore. The place you went is one of the biggest motorcycle shopping area in Singapore. I bought my 2018 Suzuki VStrom DL1000XT overthere too. Most of the shops there are owned by Yew Heng Motorsports.
Another top video. Looks to be a great place for a few days stop over, if you've not stopped off at Hong Kong before on a long haul I'd heartily recommend it fascinating place so much to see in such a small place.
It's so easy to book wrong dates, I have just had to re-book a nights accommodation for the Wheels and Waves trip in June as we're traveling down to Biarritz over 3 days I'd booked the 1st night and the 3rd night but totally forgot the middle night. Luckily I managed to find somewhere on the route so all good in the end.
I’m glad I’m not alone in booking issues!😆
I’m curious about HK too- I I can imagine it being like Singapore🙂👌🏻
The CB was a CB400SF (Super Four) rather than Hornet. It had a de-tuned CBR400RR engine afaik. A favourite of couriers in Irl & the UK years ago, and a little brother to the CB1000SF "Project Big-1".
Love this guy so simple and bumble
What a coincidence. I am in Singapore now for business trip as I watch this. So we are actually in Singapore at the same time. Glad to see you on our side of the world. Cheers!
Jaywalking is when you are near Zebra Crossing or Junction where you suppose to cross there.
our classification of license and usage of the bikes .. are all different ...
class 2b - 200cc and below "daily usage and work purpose"
class 2a - 400cc and below "hard core rider"
class 2 - any cc "more hard core rider, tourer"
COE same for all classes
Hi Freddie, you need to shop around for accommodation in Singapore. In 2020 we had a penthouse two room apartment with open air shower/bathroom, balcony and jacuzzi for £100 per night. We went up to Laos then Thailand and Malaysia, then came back to Singapore and got he same place again for the same price. Okay, my girlfriend originally came from Singapore (inside info) so we had local knowledge but it is more than possible. Best of luck with the adventure✅
Think Monica wanted the Vespa. 🤣
Desperately!😆
A very interesting video. I hope the 'extreme' car taxes in Singapore don't give the UK Government ideas to rid our roads of millions of cars. Talk about driving motorists off the roads......😁
"....and the last time" yeap, no more bookings from you Mr. Freddie. Thanks for sharing this awesome trip! 👍👍
£250. I wonder what another garage would charge.
Thing is you already pay a premium fee to get the bike but the pinging costs are even more important for the dealers to get right.
Sometimes times feel they are laughing at us.
I service my own aswell, best way 👍
cordial greetings 😃 to you and Monica 🐱
Thank you sir!
Try lunch at the Gawker centre. Any Hawker centre.
looks like Bangkok except clean and empty streets. It's nonstop traffic jams even very late at night in Bangkok. One thing you might not have considered is the air quality benefits. The pollution is extremely bad and can make you feel generally ill.
Glad you did this video in Singapore !
Hey! Nice ride videos on Singapore! Glad you had a great time here. Given me different perspectives, especially on the tourist point of view on this small island. Haha!
Great video 👍 I’m amazed that the road signs and the shops signage is in English…wasn’t expecting that 😂 stay safe you two 👍🇬🇧
It’s totally seamless here Alan, and they drive on the left too!🇬🇧
@@FreddieDobbs yet another place on my bucket list to visit…thanks 👍
Now you're getting the idea, we're part of the Commonwealth of Nations.. ..and it's a good thing. 🙂
Welcome to Singapore!
little umbrella is usually used by food delivery folks to protect the phone from hot sun
dude, welcomed to singapore. Having riden so many bikes, you do look funny on that. I learned riding with that bike lol
Great video as usual ..lovely camera Leica Q2 “reporter” if I’m not mistaken , who’s the photographer?
As a photographer thats the first thing I saw in that sequence, Q2 is just sublime I am told, what are your thoughts Freddie?
We’ll spotted! It is the Q2 Reporter- it’s Monika’s and is her dream camera. She absolutely LOVES it! The tones and build quality are stunning👌🏻
well deserved!
Despite being born living in Malaysia until 13 and riding lots of bikes in uk for 30 yrs I would b too scared to ride without protective riding gear (2 hot) one reason why I m not go8ng back to retire in Malaysia can’t give up my bikes
check out duxton hill and the china town area,,,classic singapore meal is the simple but fab chicken rice, also a must try is a good reflexology session with authentic chinese therapists .The old ybr , the bajaj pulsars, avenger ,some of the ktms and vespas are made in india...
Thanks for this Kenny- all added to my list🙂 I’ve only just discovered how wide spread India’s bike making spreads with the Pulsars and some KTMs!
6:10 pulsar and Avenger bikes are from India and they are model names. Brand is Bajaj
Great video, love that old Honda CX500, great to be cruising the streets like a local
Welcome to Singapore, hope you have fun here!
Great video. I love motorcycles and I really want to go to Singapore. So perfect video!
Loving it Freddie. Have the best time. Looking forward to seeing more. Ride safe.
I had a blue CX500 great bike toured Spain on it never missed a beat
i thought mopeds were up to 50cc.
Welcome to singapore ! Have Been ur channel follower since the beginning! ❤
Welcome to Singapore where cars and motorcycles above 400cc are considered an luxury item here!
