Who All Ride A Supermoto?

[BurntRuber]

Have you ever seen people riding them? the tires arnt bad depending on what you wanna do. They are a 50/50 tire from the looks of it. The tire sizes are set up like a endure. The one thing that I seen that I really really don't like is the rear drum brake. Make the bike look like its from the 80s

I've seen a few. I know one guy who uses it just for off roading. I'll test the tires out before I change them. Again, IF I buy it.

Used imported bikes are risky here. Most don't follow legal processes and so it's easy to get the bike impounded.

That's how cars that are under 25 years old and imported are. They will take it and crush it. I know a couple people who had it happen to their s15 and r33 gtr.

I don't want that happening to my bike!

 

[BurntRuber]

Yea I would be pissed. I know one guy who paid $18k for a s15 it was taken and crushed and he spent another $18k on one. You would think he would learn.

Your friend is either loaded or his headed unfortunately isn't loaded. How do you spend that much on something, see it crushed, and make the same mistake again?!

Having loaded parents pay off the car for you can do that to a kid's brain. Total mush.

Lol you got it right. I worked way to hard for my car to see it get crushed. One of the reasons I would never live in California. They are really bad on car laws.

I know I might have to buy another one in the future

I got told a story once that a friends friend got bought a car, it wasn't the 'sport' verison he wanted so he crashed it purposely in a tree to get his parents to buy him the one he originally wanted.... Crazy stuff!

Wow, what an asshat, if someone bought me anything with 4 wheels and an engine with a roof overhead, i'd treasure it to the end of it's life. Cars aren't cheap where i live. A Toyota Vios can set you back US$80k, and require taking 7 year loans to repay.

Some people in this world grow up with cheap cars and don't know how blessed they are to live in a country where buying one is just pocket change.

 

[BurntRuber]

Holy shit 80k for a Yaris is fucking nuts. They are like toyotas cheapest car. Is it a ton of money to register the cars there?

You're telling me man, even if it wasn't that expensive I still wouldn't crash it into a tree because I didn't get my own way!

Yea, motor vehicles are generally overpriced here as a revenue source for the motor department.

If you wanna know how much it costs to buy a car here, just take the MSRP at the country of manufacture, add a 20%-150% import tax depending on the model (Vios would be close to 20%, and a Porsche GT would be closer to 120%), then you add the prevailing 10 year ownership certificate premium, which is currently between 40k-60k depending on engine size, and then maybe 1 or 2k for the misc administrative fees.

Bikes are cheaper but follow the same sequence, just that the import tax is usually at most 50%, and the ownership certificate is 6k right now, and administrative fees are a few hundred at most.

This is not including insurance and road taxes. Just the cost of buying the car.

This is just ridiculous. I like cars way to much and don't make enough money for all that nonsense. Your government workers must be super ballers.

Quite unfortunately, that's kinda how things are on this side of the world. We all wish it was at the prices in the US. Things are improving though. More people starting to manufacture or use CKD instead of CBU.
