Suicide_boy Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 can't go wrong with hondas. best bet is a nc23 CBR400RR tri-arm or a nc24/30 VFR400. looks good, lots of parts, pretty quick, not that expensive, and it holds its resale value fairly well. you could also go the 250cc route which is even cheaper but a little harder to find second hand. They're also technically not highway-legal, but who really checks anymore? good 4-stroke 250 choices include the honda CBR250 and kawasaki ZXR250, which are fairly common. another reccomendable bike is the honda NSR250 2-stroke, which also looks good and is often cheaper and much lighter to handle. unfortunately, 2-strokes cost a little more in terms of consumption and maintenance. they also smoke a lot and sound like lawnmowers compared to their 4-stroke bretheren, which is why spending a little more for a 4-stroke is a better idea.

stroker Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 ah-hah!!!! stroker bashing huh. hahaha... but suicide boy is right about the 2-strokers but who cares about consumption and maintenance when it can haul ass. hehehe...(obviously, you can tell i own a 2-stroker). as mentioned earlier, the 250cc 4-strokers would be perfect for you since as you said, you're only after the looks. the honda cbr250, kawasaki zxr250, yamaha fzr250, suzuki gsxr250 are a few of your possible choices.

Don Carleone Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 hmmm around how much mga ganyan? and ok ba bumili ng 2nd hand bike? or brand new na lang? Quote Link to comment
Suicide_boy Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 i have nothing against 2 strokers. i actually recently bought a '92 honda HRC RS250 that i was going to use for racing. USD forks, everything fully adjustable, no starter, no keys, no lights, dry clutch, total loss wiring, super light and everything HRC! Unfortunately, only street-spec bikes are allowed at the local BRC races. non-production race bikes are illegal. Besides that, the piston rings have to be replaced every 300kms, the pistons every 500kms, the connecting rods every 1000kms, and the crank at around every 1500kms just to keep it running in top form to race it seriously. Even the cylinders and heads are consumable. And with the rebuild kit costing over $1500 USD, i'd much rather race my Duc. Instead, i got myself a Honda RVF to race the 400 series. But what i would give to race the RS... with 80+ bhp at the rear wheel, it's power to weight ratio is phenomenal. i'd bet it would put a few 600's to shame. hey stroker, i'm starting to think maybe i know who you are... lol Don, 2nd hand is fine. search the forums at www.motorcycleasia.com or www.motorcyclephilippines.com for tips on buying a 2nd hand bike. expect to spend anywhere between 80 to 100++ grand for a 250. But i'm sure you could find one for as low as 60k if your lucky. be patient and look around. good luck! Quote Link to comment
stroker Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 i'm just kidding about the stroker bit, suicide boy. oh btw, i'm pretty sure you know me. rs250 huh...damn! lucky you. :cool: Quote Link to comment
brotnik Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 hi guys inquire ko lang sa inyo san me makakakuha ng pocket bikes o minimoto na brand new... plano ko kasi paguwi ko dyan buy me... tsaka kung magkano price range of that kind of bikes thanks... Quote Link to comment
Suicide_boy Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 lucky? maybe. unless you consider the fact that i inherited the running expenses along with the bike. But what a beautiful bike it is! if only i can really use it... It even uses different spark plugs! i've long suspected that that was you, but i never knew you were a 2-stroke guy so i couldn't be sure hehe brotnik: you can buy pocket bikes almost anywhere now. pati tiyangge, meron na. expect to pay more or less around 35k for it.

stroker Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 well, as they say, you can't have your cake and eat it too. hahaha...=) i remember there was one occasion where a rs125 entered. i just forget which class it was though...it was either the OGP or the 400 unlimited. well, i've always been a 2-stroker ever since i join mcp but i'm also now a v4 guy. now if i could only find a way to be able to race either one of 2 bikes.

Olympus Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Also consider what the bike will be used for. Using a sport bike as a daily commuter isn't worth it. However, for a wekend ride, worth it sha. Quote Link to comment
