The other thing to take note when you own a class 2 bike is the fuel consumption. The FC can be quite bad . I have a friend who own a ST1100 and his FC is like 15-16km/l .

 

pretty average and ok for class 2 bikes.

 

Goldwing is even worst.

Most Vespa below 200cc right?

I thought some bike engines are turbocharged also? So the cc size and power output relationship not so linear one.

I had the opportunity to ride my neighbour's harley when he was away from singapore (insurance covered of course). Am so glad he asked me to help, cos after riding his bike for a while during noon. Am happy I switch from bike to car.

 

gimme a harley anytime

 

on the bike, if stop go very often, u'll feel the heat ... if ur on the go most of the time, the heat will not eat u up but u will feel lots of 'foundation' on ur face

Back during the time when I was learning motorcycle, BBDC was using CB125, Night Hawk 250 and Night Hawk 750 for class 2B, 2A and 2 respectively. Now what they using??

I was damn "scared" of the night hawks as the brakes sucked. Rather difficult to do E brake, must really brake hard else sure exceed the line by one km . Another nightmare was when doing figure-8. The bike chasis seemed to go up lorry so doing figure-8 is not so straight forward. Thankfully, during the actual tests, both the 250/750 I used were in good conditions.

haha.....totally agree with u,bro.

I think you might as well go neighbouring country to take the bike test and convert to international license. Dun take in sg cos have to waste 2~3 years go thru 2B, 2A dan class 2.

 

I agree also, i am a class 2 licence holder and i can tell u it's more difficult to get a class 2 than class 3...if u are not intend to ride in sg, better go lesson in other country otherwise 2b lesson will be tough until u give up. Somemore lots of countries no need a licence to ride a bike, so why waste money here

I still prefer my Goldwing than Harley, the Harley vibration can kill one kidney man.

I've been thinking of learning to ride a bike, am thinking it will come in useful example in overseas tourist locations where biking is prevalent. Most likely will not be riding one in Singapore.

 

Is getting the Class 2 license the best way forward?

With Class 3 already, any concession in any of the tests for Class 2?

 

Please share your experience.

 

Just get it.

 

In any case .... you'll start with Class 2B .... to get Class 2 ... you need to first take Class 2B ... wait for 1 year ... then take Class 2A ... then wait for 1 year again .... and get Class 2.

international licence only last one yr and if you are singapore resident not recognise when operating a vehicle in Singapore.

 

may be able to convert if you have the licence from "recognised"countries and if you have been living there for many years.

 

even my expat friends who have been riding big bikes in their home countries have difficulty in converting their licences to a class2 in Singapore.

 

many got a downgraded conversion meaning they only manage to get class 2A.

 

It is important for for bikers to get their licence in stages.

They should implement it for Drivers as well. hope it is done in future asap.

eg. Class 3b for up to 1.6l, 3a up to 2.5l and 3 any car

Australian "R" license converts to full class 2 in Singapore, no need to even take theory.

[Ah_veo]

w/o all these conversions......Harley and BMW bike sales could easily reduce by as much as 50%. hehehe.....
