honda wave or RKZ?
-
Hee......... wondering which of the above bike is more worth it? Considering to get one, any comment? i dun really mind the image lor, just wan for transport.
-
I would suggest honda wave. Since transport is the main issue. It has super low fuel consumption if i am not wrong.
-
ya lor, very low fuel consumption, but dun have the so call' power', inorder to accelerate to avoid accident or to over take, while RXZ can do that. Price wise wave also cheaper, really wonder which to get.
-
Wave should be abt 3k, while RXZ abt 4+k, I think RXZ is safer to use on the road over wave lor. Up to you lor, you cherish life or $?Originally posted by runner 180:ya lor, very low fuel consumption, but dun have the so call' power', inorder to accelerate to avoid accident or to over take, while RXZ can do that.

Although it's true that bigger bikes are more stable on the road (hence some people think they're safer), in the end it boils down to the rider. It doesn't mean when you're riding a Wave, you're living dangerously. Your riding style contributes more to your safety on the road.Originally posted by RainXP:Wave should be abt 3k, while RXZ abt 4+k, I think RXZ is safer to use on the road over wave lor.

I have to agree with what you say, but compare the impact when a elephant bang a wall and a cat bang a wall. The animals here simply refer to the impact indirectly due to the bike used...Originally posted by SnailRider:Although it's true that bigger bikes are more stable on the road (hence some people think they're safer), in the end it boils down to the rider.

Interesting analogy...Originally posted by RainXP:I have to agree with what you say, but compare the impact when a elephant bang a wall and a cat bang a wall. The animals here simply refer to the impact indirectly due to the bike used...
So the animals are substitutes for bikes. If a person rides an elephant and bangs a wall at 100km/h, compared to a person who rides a horse (I substitute the cat, you can't ride a cat) bangs a wall at 100km/h, assuming the wall is stronger than the elephant, I'd say the impact to the rider won't be much different
The advantage of riding an elephant can be felt, if the elephant is hit by a bull. Most likely the elephant will still be standing tall. If a horse is hit by a bull, the horse will be flown off.
Now back to real-life situation. If an accident had already happened, the type of bike doesn't really matter anymore. The heaviest production bike is still lighter then the lightest production car (so the elephant hit by a charging bull analogy is not applicable), and you don't have to balance yourself in a car. The bike rider will always be the losing side.
We're talking about the advantage provided by a bigger bike to avert an accident. It's more stable, so it's not easy to be blown away by a gush of wind when a huge trailer passes by. It doesn't fall off easily when slightly knocked. Nobody can deny that. But IMHO, it's just a small factor in ensuring safety in riding. The rider's attitude and riding style plays a much more important role. A reckless Hayabusa rider is not safer than a wise and careful Honda Cub 70 rider. -
Wah lau bro, I say a few lines, you talk so much. What more can I say...?
Hmm... But a qns to think abt. How often you see goldwing engage in accident?Originally posted by SnailRider:Interesting analogy...

How many Goldwings are there in Singapore? I also dunno the exact figure, but I believe the ratio between Goldwing rider and SP/RXZ/KRR rider is at least 1:10, or even smaller.Originally posted by RainXP:Hmm... But a qns to think abt. How often you see goldwing engage in accident?
Let's assume the accident rate is the same for all bikes, say 1% per year. If there're 100 Goldwings in Spore, there's only 1 accident involving Goldwing every year. And the chance is, you're not there to witness the accident. On the other hand, there're 1000 SPs in Spore, and there're 10 SP accidents every year. Your chance of witnessing an SP involved in an accident is 10 times higher, then.
Now back to the main factor, which is the rider. Most Goldwing riders are bike enthusiasts, who are not in their 20's anymore. They have years of riding experience, and ride responsibly. Goldwings are not designed for high-speed racing, anyway. They're big, heavy, and fat, and when you're stuck in a traffic jam, you're as good as driving a car. You can't slip your way easily between cars.
Who rides SP/KRR/RXZ? Mostly teenagers or people in their early 20's. Some are inexperienced, and young blood boils easily. Hence, the reckless riding style. So logically speaking, who has the higher chance of being involved in an accident? -
.........wow, thanks for the info. Well, rider's style of riding do contribute to accident, but of course skill also la. As for me, i just ride slowly and carefully And i seldom see big bike accident, maybe their bike are more stable and rider more experience and skillful, hor.
