  Guys, need to ask u something.
  
  I currently own a Yamaha RXK just for transport purposes. Can only afford this at the moment coz on NS allowance only.
  
  Once I ORD, I'm going to take my 2A and then considering to buy a 2A bike. If I wanna keep my 2B bike as a "back-up" bike, I understand I need to pay HDB parking for it. But will I need to pay seperate insurance for it as well??

  hi man, why do u need two bikes in the first place?
  even if u can save on petrol, u have to pay two road tax, parking, double maintainence and insurance plus u can only use one bike at a time....

  HrMm.. quite true. Maybe I'll use the RXK for a while.. build up my financial health first before I sell it off for a 2A bike.

  honestly owning a 2a bike really isn't that expensive... ur insurance u are paying for a 2b bike is almost the same as a 2a bike insurance...

  hmm...
  think there is no need for 2 bikes?
  i had a friend who owned 5 bikes at one time once...
  he suddenly realised he cannot ride all 5 bikes at e same time... so he got rid of 4.
  anyway hes driving a road king now.
