get your licence first.
Go to a driving centre near you.
you need a minimum of S$500/-. Go register for your course, put the money in the account and start planning for your theory & practical lessons.
Oh....save $100/- to cater for a helmet, some nice long sleeve tees, jeans & covered shoes...and possibly a water bottle and a pair of riding gloves.
Until you pass your riding test and gets your licence. you can only get those model bikes.
BTW, depending on how well you do for your theory, practical tests....you can expect to pump in S$1000/- till you got your licence.
Then possibly another S$5000/- to get a bike. (Including COE, RoadTax, Insurance, ERP Unit, Rack & Box & whatever maintenance for the bike, helmets, riding gears & necessary documents, ie. passport,). -
BBDC passing rate for bike quite high..man..all the best

but the payment for the bike? like installment or 1 sot full payment. how to go about it?

its up to you on how many cash you can lay out, and whether you can get a installment loan.Originally posted by popmynutsy:but the payment for the bike? like installment or 1 sot full payment. how to go about it?
for installment loans, they will want to see your licences, and proofs of how you can service the installments. ie...your paycheck, last IR8a and a garantor that can cover your loans should you default.
In other words, your garantor needs to produce his/her last income assessment, ir8a or his/her payslip.
and with the high interest rates, you are better off putting down a huge downpayment for the bike upfront and loaning the rest and paying back by installments.
if you pay cash outfront. you owned the bike outfront. no need pay installments. -
for a 'beginner' bike, roughly how much total? thanks kitty.

i think u might need to get ur license first b4 u start planning to buy a bike
coz the market now is ever changing,for eg today u survey the bike u want
and it comes cheap,but hey do u know when will u actually pass ur TPPT?
even if its 3 months away(minimum) the cost of that bike u want might increase.
so i say u start doing well in ur practicals b4 u go into details of buying a bike.
i know this bcoz b4 i enrolled recently i went to bukit merah lane there to survey
bikes,and they advised me to pass my tp first b4 surveying,which i think
theyve got a point there.

Sigh....depending on whether its new or its a 2nd hand bike.Originally posted by popmynutsy:for a 'beginner' bike, roughly how much total? thanks kitty.
But 2b second hand bikes hovers around the S$4000/- in total costs.
Lets say, a Honda Phantom TA200, 3 years old is roughly $2800/-. Not including your insurances, Road Tax, overhauls, accessories, transfer fees.
For 1st hand bike, you best have a S$10,000/- in your bank a/c to cover most of the costs that you wont realise its there till you actually brought the bike. -
And depending on who or where you brought the bike.
You might shave some costs here or there.
Some bikes goes as cheap as S$400/-. Like my ole antiquted Vespa.
There is always a lot of opportunities if you are willing to wait and bade your time. -
actually, i no need some fancy bike. just a bike that can ferry me to and from from school and all.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:And depending on who or where you brought the bike.

Still, you need to get your licence, weigh out how much $$$ you can spare, before you actually buys a bike.Originally posted by popmynutsy:actually, i no need some fancy bike. just a bike that can ferry me to and from from school and all. -
