Bandana is for hygiene purposes when you are trying out the helmets, keep your hairstyles better too.Originally posted by technoboy:Why must have a bandana? You mean when going there to try the helmet?
Some riders, usually wears a skull cap, or wears a bandana before putting on their helmets, because the skull caps/bandana helps with keeping your head/helmets cleaner, plus it keeps your fringe away from your eyes when the helmet comes down.
It also secure your hairstyle more and dont drag/break your hairstyle as much. -
yoz kitty, can u roughly tell mi wat r the procedure for buying a bike? $$ for the whole thingy...sohx i can save up for the least...im aiming for a bajaj,gonna be 18 or 19 when im rdy to buy...sohx how much roughly for the insurance and other thing...2nd party most probably... thks in advance..
-
Yup, please explain the 2nd party 3rd party thing please, don't really understand about it.
And I heard that for us 18 to buy bike it's gonna cost 1k+?
-
heys otah,heres what ive learnt thru survey at bikeshop and what my brother told me
give u an example if u wanna buy a first hand bike.
machine price - 4300(based on cbr150,heh)
COE - 1k+
insurance - normally 1st party if thru instalment,for cash can choose any party i think(bikeshop mostly will force u to take the type of insurance they propose
if u pay by instalments)and for 18-19 p platers,u may want to save at most 1k.
Road tax - $80 for a year.
ERP IU - donno how much
bikeshop's interest - eg 5% per annum
i guess thats all,if theres extra others might wanna add though
the calculation is
10%(2 years instalment) x (total - downpayment)/24=$$$.$$
ull sign an agreement on when u wanna pay the instalments and u have to
go to the shop everymonth on the agreement date to pay for it.
if u pay later than the date the interest will have to pay late interest like
credit.
and u said ur aiming for a bajaj,my cousin just bought a first hand bajaj 180 few months back and he paid 6k+ cash on the road 2nd party insurance
at universal motors at alexandra road.
but for a 2nd hand bike,u can choose either 2nd or 3rd party insurance.
and itll cost lesser than first hand considering that u dont have to pay
COE and road tax if their still valid.only insurance and machine price.
technoboy,i guess ur referring to insurance,yeah,18-19 p platers insurance
MAY go up to 1k+,but so far never heard before.most will only reach maybe
800-900+.
its a headache for me to save up!haha,have to pay so much.darn -
technoboy,u may want to go to this thread for more info abt insurance

Oh sorry 1 more question. After I got the price for the insurance, do I have to pay all for it? Or do I pay by installments just like the cost of the bike?
-
You pay all of insurance in one go. Unless your bike shop was able to arrange that the installments for the loan include the insurance.Originally posted by technoboy:Oh sorry 1 more question.

Then what are those plates all about? FR or FZ and stuff. Does that mean that FZ is newer then FR, thus costing more?
-
meaning we nid to pay the isurance and the downpayment of the machine at tat time?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:You pay all of insurance in one go. Unless your bike shop was able to arrange that the installments for the loan include the insurance. -
Lets say your downpayment was $2000/-Originally posted by 0tah:meaning we nid to pay the isurance and the downpayment of the machine at tat time?
Out of the $2000/- the bikeshop lets say, deduct $700 for your insurance.
$300 for road tax and some miscellanous like erp units, servicing & admin charges.
And if the bike is $10k machine price....you still have a S$9k loan to service. You effectively only put down $1k for downpayments.
Above is only applicable if you let the bike shop handle everything for you.
If you go buy your own insurance, then of course you pay up front the amount of your insurance yourself and is not factored into your instalments.
And answering your question. Yes. -
FZ is indeed newer then FR, but only in terms of number plate alphabets.Originally posted by technoboy:Then what are those plates all about? FR or FZ and stuff. Does that mean that FZ is newer then FR, thus costing more?
What happens nowadays is that you can retain your bikenumber.
So its no longer true that a FZ is newer bike then a FR plate. -
Lets say that the owner didn't change the plate and stuff. How much difference is the cost actually?
-
then you need to look at the actual log card to know.Originally posted by technoboy:Lets say that the owner didn't change the plate and stuff. How much difference is the cost actually?
Age of the bike, miledge of the bike.
Telling you a number plate alphabet is merely a indication of its age. -

Riders who can adapt to different bikes are rare.
