  I will require a bike for transportation. Heard from my friend that bike with COE ending is cheap. Can anyone tell me where and who i can look for to purchase such bikes. Any idea how much will it cost me to get one, and how roughly how much i need to spend on other essential documents like road tax and insurance. What do i need to look out for? Thanks

  I am now riding a magma. The performance of the bike is pretty decent. I bought it for just over 2k with another 6 years to go. Drop me a message if you want more info, I don't want to be advertising for the shop but they gave me a good deal.

  Wao. So cheap har. How is the bike? Good? Think i can consider it when i get my licence since i cant really afford a new sportbike. Second hand 1 also a bit ex then the insurance went up too much liao.
