Thank you for your honest example. You speak of "Ah Boy". Is he a company or a very well known aquaintance that every biker knows. -
Oh well, I guess when it is my time to upgrade to a class 2 bike, I might need to pay an arm and a leg for the downpayment.Originally posted by intelinside:I bought mine last year august @$6500 at Looi's motor.4% per annum on $5500(after i put $1000 down payment).The price includes insurance, half year road tax.But my time insurance and coe cheaper now i not sure. -

Ah boy is actually a shop that sells quite cheap bike stuffs... you name it, they got it...But i dont know its authenticacy...I think mostly imitation stuffs..You can bargain and must bargain!!! -
Comparing the size which is bigger?
-
Compare Phamton 200 and 150, is 200 bigger or same? coz i'm quite tall ,looks weird if the bike is small.

I am 1.83m (or 6 feet) tall and weighing almost 95kg (my wife treats me very well).Originally posted by Adam&Eve:Compare Phamton 200 and 150, is 200 bigger or same? coz i'm quite tall ,looks weird if the bike is small.
On the Honda Phantom 200 I feel quite comfortable. Honestly would like more power but I guess that is the complain of most riders. -
dude the pahntom200 is a great bike. i think u will have alot of fun riding it for transport or for leisure i think ur wife will also like the sitting postion on the bike. i rode a shadow 400 perviously and i think the sitting position is very good. and the bike is even more underpowered then the phantom200 so dont worry abt power. no pt to have 150 horsepower when u onli need 30 for normal rd riding.Originally posted by seeprompt:I am 1.83m (or 6 feet) tall and weighing almost 95kg (my wife treats me very well).

Have you ever been in suitations whereby you could benifit from the extra power to overtake?Originally posted by fp2075r:dude the pahntom200 is a great bike. i think u will have alot of fun riding it for transport or for leisure i think ur wife will also like the sitting postion on the bike. i rode a shadow 400 perviously and i think the sitting position is very good. and the bike is even more underpowered then the phantom200 so dont worry abt power. no pt to have 150 horsepower when u onli need 30 for normal rd riding.
My personal experience was with a NSR 125R. Needed the extra boost when in TPE to overtake gravel laden lorries speeding over 100km/h. Fortunately I was single then (5 years ago) and was almost 20kg lighter. The little bike was just able to speedup before the lorry overtook me. I was running at almost 90km/h on the left most land then!

talkin bout this idling thing....Originally posted by l3stat:daniu! you know how to adjust idling already anot?! i just found out after taking a look at my friend's bike. it's just to the left of the oval chrome thing under your fuel tank. on the right side, just like training centre learning bikes. turn the screw can liao!
do u find the phantom150 must set idling quite high to prevent engine from suddenly going off?
donno if any other phantom got this prob. mine frequently will for no reason engine die, always when stop at junction and idle. i donno why, but i know why NOT:
1)confirm not coz engine cold coz it happens after riding quite a distance, and temp gauge at least at first unit.
2)confirm not i throw clutch coz happens even when i put neutral, and if happen when i idle at first gear clutch in, it dies without the jerk that is characteristic of throwing clutch with gear engaged.
3)oso not petrol low coz today i top up happen twice after that.
this happens always when i stationary and idle. and the engine will sound different b4 it dies, it knocks a little unsteadily, as if petrol low but like i said i top up liao still like dat. help help anyone know the problem?

For your information I have a friend that has encountered the exact same problem! It only surfaced after a very disciplined run in period. That is never going above 70km/h and not having high rpm.Originally posted by Ducati996:talkin bout this idling thing....

No problem drop one gear sure can overtake wan. im sure the bike is not that underpowered. i have rode on a shadow b4 trust me that bike is really underpoweredOriginally posted by seeprompt:Have you ever been in suitations whereby you could benifit from the extra power to overtake?

lose to nearly any bike u can think of. rxz etc etc i think can onli win skipper hahha. but i drop one gear to overtake when nessasary. -
ahhh, this problem very familiar I got this problem also. dat time i think got mention here before but forgot which tread liao. i think it's the carbon in your exhaust playing a trick on you. that time my colleague trottle until very high then all the carbon came out, then my bike ok liao. but if you sim tia then dun do it, go to the motor shop i think they got ways to get the carbon out without blowing your bike lorOriginally posted by Ducati996:talkin bout this idling thing....
