how heavy is a bike ah? cos i really wanna learn how to ride wan, but i v small size... not much strength.

Figures below are taken from manual books or websites, I've never weighed the bikes myself.Originally posted by winky:how heavy is a bike ah? cos i really wanna learn how to ride wan, but i v small size... not much strength.
Suzuki Best 110 - 84kg
Yamaha RXZ - 100kg (if I remember correctly)
Honda NSR 150 SP - 130kg
Yamaha YZF R6 2003 version - 162kg
Suzuki GSXR1000 2003 version- 168kgmy friend discourage me from taking, cos he say i no strength, then say i short, cannot rch d floor when i on d bike...
Sometimes it's not just the strength. Of course the more power you have, the easier for you to handle the bike. IMHO, your technique in handling the bike is more important. If you want to take class 2, you have to lower a class 2 bike (CB750 at BBDC) until it lays flat on the ground, and lift it up again. And I've seen some petite ladies riding class 2 bikes. Surely they've passed the test, haven't they?
About your height, I have a relative whose body is not normal, due to a childhood accident. His height is just slightly over 4". But he can ride a cub with almost no difficulty at all. Of course cannot expect him to ride a Hayabusa lah, because of his abnormality. So again, it's your riding technique that really counts -
Well... I always believe in the saying "when there is a will, there is a way" so, believing in yourself will bring you to places. As in this case, your motorbike license.
A bike will always be heavier than us unless U are looking for bicycle... Are you??? Wrong forum....hehehehhe
It's more of are you comfortable and able to handle the bike... there are techniques in bike handling. that includes uprighting the bike from side stand...
I can't say much about the practical license cos I don't know what is required now....
U want to take up some weight liftings...???hhehehe Jus joking...Originally posted by winky:can i ask something here?

the pt is size dun matter, its the xin and ur determination to achieve it. -
wahaha, i c all the replies here, i feel so positive...
but i'm really very light, only 37kg leh.
and really, my intention is on 2b bikes only lah... i dun even dare to think of anywhere further.
i love the feeling when i'm the bike. got once, my friend let me hold the throttle while he was riding (speed very slow, and quiet road of course), from that moment, i know riding a bike is not something i want just to show off, but, is because its something i love.
only thing that is stopping me is my physic, i dun have much strength. -
strength is never a problem for 2b. its the method. when parking a bike on main stand is making use of body wt and the correct techique. im a female learning bike oso at BBDC. i ever see guy bigger size then me, have more strength then me but cant even park the bike properly.Originally posted by winky:wahaha, i c all the replies here, i feel so positive...

the instructor will teach u the technique.. u need not worry. practise make prefect. as time goes by u can park any bike of any wt with no problems, provided the bike got main stand. lolx -
hey... you should listen to everyone who has posted so far... technique is the key...Originally posted by winky:wahaha, i c all the replies here, i feel so positive...

and over time, once you got the technique right, your strength will gradually build up as u keeping practicing parking your bike on mainstand...
perserverance is pretty important....
btw, i remember that i said something similar "my intention is on 2b bikes only lah... i dun even dare to think of anywhere further. " to my dad before... hahahaha....
now i am on a class 2 bike.... -
Ya lor. Ride bike is the seh/ technique, not strength. U cant park the bike on main stand also nvm 1 la. The instructors see u gal and small size sure help u a bit 1. As long as u got the correct technique and confidence can liao.
Pursue and persist ur dream ba!!!

hahaha... stil rem tat time got quite heated up over the issue (misunderstanding) hor? hehehe.. anyway glad things turn up gd.. someday cum out k?
frankly when i was at orientation 1st day 2b license, was asked to put to main stand, push frm main stand to release etc. oh boy i tot the bike look light but each time i tried i instant sweat! then abit regret. but i nvr give up! now i enjoy riding alot.
next goin class 2... yeh i will try!

tis quote v familiar,... it was wats on my mind when i choose to give up sumone impt to me for my 2b license which i perceived as my dream.. no regrets for that decision to pursue.. but regrets to making a rash decision and nt tryin to tink of other alternatives.Originally posted by nick34:Keyword : Never give up anything u like ... if not you will regret in future ...
so my advise.... tink carefully....even if u choose nt to give up.. or u might regret sumthing else. When u gain something.. u always lose something too -
