Shoei in Singapore [OC]

In Singapore on a vacation and I always had a plan to either buy Arai or Shoei. Went to Regina Specialties to pick up a helmet for a friend and he tried alot to get me to buy Klim Krio Pro and X1 Alpha. Gave good deal on both but it was still somewhere around 89k

Went to Chong Aik store which is 450m from Regina and surfed for Shoei. Got a damn good deal on Hornet X2, wanted solid color but they were out of stock in my size. So bought the TC10 color variant. 49k including GST refund.

Please suggest, Urgent!

Need suggestions

I'm a 22M living in Jayanagar. I'm a Software engineer at a startup not earning good but can make adjustments. We are 4 members living in the room, everyone has their own vehicle except me 😭, one owns a RTR 160 another owns a Ntroq and another owns a aether. I really and badly want a bike/scooty. I'm thinking of getting a used KTM Duke 390 (ofc begging my father for it) if not atleast get a honda dio.

Why I wanna get the bike is because all these people go on bike rides( the ntorq guy and aether guy bring their friends bike) and I wanna join in as well, so please suggest me what I'm doing is right if not correct me.

Edit: if this is not the right community to ask this suggest me some good ones for this question.

Thank you

Can I use the KYT striker helmet for GT cup and also few questions regarding the GT cup?

So I have been wanting to do the GT cup trials for a long time and I finally registered for it and I’ll be attending the trails. Now before that I wanted to get some gear, I have heard that the track suit will be provided but I’m not sure about the race boots and gloves but one thing I can afford rn is a helmet.
I’m currently using a MT Hummer with has the ECE and dot but it’s a ratcheting mechanism and their specifically say that it has to be a double d ring.
Now I’m pretty sure I’ll be renting everything out but I thought I could maybe get a KYT striker helmet since it’s 5800. And use that for the GT cup and also it would be nice to get a new helmet since mine has been used for 3+ years.

I’m just concerned if they would allow it and also if anyone has any experience with GT cup, would love to know the gears thing. If it’s not all available, where can I rent it?

Should I buy a bike rite now or wait till e 30 compliant bikes roll out

I wanted buy my first bike and had my eyes of Himalayan 450 or ktm adventure 350. But with release of recent e 30 fuel norms is it wise to wait few more months. Will the bike manufacturers release e 30 compliant bikes in near future. I already have an old bike and car for commute so no urgency to upgrade but definitely want to upgrade by this year end.

Looking to Buy Yamaha RX100 / RX125 in Bangalore – Need Trusted Seller or Mechanic Suggestions

Title: Looking to Buy Yamaha RX100 / RX135 in Bangalore – Need Trusted Seller or Mechanic Suggestions

Hey guys,

I’m planning to buy a Yamaha RX100 or RX135 in Bangalore.

The problem is, these bikes are becoming very difficult to find in clean condition. Most of the bikes I checked either have duplicate parts, engine issues, or heavily modified setups.

Also, many RX mechanics and sellers seem to do scams — saying the bike is original but later you find out the engine work is poor or parts are replaced with low-quality ones. And if the bike is actually in good condition, the price becomes extremely expensive.

So I wanted to ask the community:

Is there any trusted person, mechanic, or seller in Bangalore from whom I can buy a proper RX100/RX125?

Any place where genuine and clean RX bikes are available?

What things should I check before buying one?

What is a fair price range currently for a good condition RX100 or RX125?

I’m mainly looking for:

Clear documents

Good engine condition

Mostly original parts

Less modified bike

Would really appreciate genuine suggestions from RX owners or enthusiasts here.

Thanks 🙏

Commute from work today was absolutely beautiful

Been lurking on this sub for a few weeks, finally took delivery of my motorcycle this weekend!

3rd day on it and hit my first 100KM in heavy rain on the way back from work. What a beautiful ride!

KTM 390 Adv 👎

Rented this 390 from RB, i understand it’s a rental but there were vibes EVERYWHERE in the rev range! What the hell! Totally put off now and leaning much more towards Himalayan 450 (rode it almost a week in Tawang in Dec)

Opinions? And also what about the whole ethanol blending and petrol availability?
