High maintenace as this is a performance bike that gives a realtime performance. Very powerful bike because this bike is a race-ready bike. Price is high but worth getting it. Provided you know a good mech about KTM. Not all mech noe about this bike well. Majority just any how wack the machine. There are alot of models for KTM. Eg. Egs/LC4.......... go check up yourself.
Gas Gas
Another performance bike, but not as good as a KTM. Lose out in a few factors. Biggest attraction to this bike is its suspension. Its full OHLINS bike.
Yamaha
WR200 is built from SDR200 this engine. So generally this engine is powerful plus reliable. Reliable bike, not as powerful bike but overall preferred choice in singapore. Because the wear and tear level is not as high as the previous 2 bikes.
TW200
Low maintenace bike, drinks very little petrol. Looks bad, but after some decoration, it looks very RETRO!!
WR400
Powerful bike, better than a XR400. Have to really scout around if you wana get this baby.
Honda
Not much choices except XR200, XLR200, CRM250 and XR400. All these bikes are 4 strokers except CRM250. XR200 is said to be the upset production. But to me, I find that it has good a good pick up. Low topend is a definate thing. XLR200 is an old bike but then again, its a super duper low maintenace bike. XR400 is what I consider as lowest maintenace 400cc bike available in Singapore. (Lets not tok about 400cc scooters). But biggest drawback is that this bike is too heavy to play around with. CRM250 is not as common in singapore as stop production already. My neighbour has one.
Not really familiar with Suzook family.
Kawasaki
KDX125 and KDX200.
Don't get this bike........ I heard Xiao Hei used this bike to flew over the river or something like that lar.... That bike belongs to some singaporean. Cause he tried to sell me that bike. Don't get this bike cause old already, dun get yourself headaches for getting the parts. KDX200 actual engine displacement is 216cc. Only availabe 8 units in Singapore. My friend used to own one. Another do not get bike.
