A little history

I love cruisers and I felt so down having to sell off mine due to the rising certificate of entitlement prices in singapore. It is basically a piece of paper that gives you the right to own the vehicle for 10 years. It currently stands for about $7000sgd.

So I wanted something that could save me tons of money yet was not too weak in performance. Going through the used bike department got me feeling down because there was hardly any with my budget of 4000$ sgd. Till alas this ybr250. Ybr250 is known to be a learners bike. It is exclusively imported for the use of learning schools. I thought that since it is here, parts should be universal and easy to get. I couldnt get much information on the bike except that it has a top speed of about 160km/hr(from youtube) that it has a fuel tank ranging from 12L-19.2L(the dealer said it was 12L) And the consumptions was ranging from 25km/hr or better.


When i viewed the bike, it was in a terrible state. It even had the tank off. The side stand base plate was broken, the levers were bent in. It was 5 years old with 20 k km mileage. I would imagine the abuse it took spending hours daily in the learning centre. It had alot of crashbars on it so it wasnt really scratched up.

I took it anyway.
And so my journey begins
