Why does Singapore have so many of these Yamahas? 

Appreciate the great information. I’d love a few days to explore Singapore next time. It’s an awesome place.

@@SmallBikeStuff Registration plates starting with A or F are SG Registration. ALL Else are Fm M'sia where Bikes are Dirt Cheap

Only in malaysia you be overseas on daily work and would say Oh am not at malaysia but overseas atm without it seem a lie

@@vincecarlo incorrect. There are Malaysian bikes with registration that starts with A which is from the state of Perak. The difference between Singapore and Malaysia licence plate is that, Malaysian vehicles does not have an alphabet prefix after their numerical numbers

@@randomcatontheinternet2771 haha “I’m working overseas I’ll be late for dinner tonight” how cool.

Interesting! We have to 500cc versions of the new CB. I am aware of the Japanese regulations so thats good to learn about. Thanks for letting me know!

Super Four is a Workhorse Runs Forever n Ever n Ever n Ever. After 3 Decades and you still see a ton of them

Coming from the US, Malaysia was particularly interesting for me to see what was basically a completely different world of motorbikes. Every time I'd speak to a local about it, they'd be shocked that I rode a Yamaha Tenere 700 and that it may be the smallest bike in its category. Then again, I have found no roads in Malaysia or Thailand so far that are similar to interstate highways in the US. I'm in Chiang Mai now and there's far more adventure bikes and CRF250s here than anywhere else I've been.

@@SmallBikeStuff Just to add on, in Singapore, you have to start with below 200cc license only after 1yr then you can take the test for below 400cc and after another yr to take the above 400cc license. So you see lots of small bikes and most locals that uses bike to commute will stop at 400cc which is adequate for Singapore roads. Only enthusiast will go for above 400cc.

Its the sniper 135 in the Philippines :)

Amazing! Thanks for the run down of models.

If you dont, you are getting parking tickets.

to be fair Singapore is well developed compared to Philippines, doesn't matter how much you try to be strict in parking regulations if there's not much designated parking lots/areas, people ate still going to be "stubborn"

Hahaha I’m already getting heckled by the swedes. My Swedish workmate is going to give me lessons when I return.

Im the good old VFR800A. Now is a rare item here.

Up north like in Woodlands lol.

I agree. It's a safe place.

Same here! I saw a lot on the road. But none in this parking area.

Haha thanks for watching my friend. I was shaking my head at myself when editing the video. Motorcycle car park 🤯

Haha yes! Same here. Food videos will be on my other channel. Moving Our World. Thanks for watching and appreciate the info!

Yamaha had a 120cc, Honda had a 360cc, Yamaha had a 75cc, Suzuki had a 380cc...................

That displacement was made way back. Yamaha RXZ and Honda Raider 135cc with 2 stroke engines. Yamaha sees a loophole class in Asian Market and looking back at their successful history they just redoing the same thing.

135cc mopeds are common in Southeast Asian country to sporty variants like the Yamaha Sniper in the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭. Probably not common in your place where bigger and faster motorcycles is marketed more for leisure than everyday commute.

in SEA is normal for 110cc, 114cc, 125cc, 135cc, 155cc, 160cc, 175cc and 200cc

Appreciate your viewership

Holy crap! That’s ridiculous. How do people even justify buying a motorcycle? Someone else commented below some of the plates are from Malaysia. Do you know more info?

It’s basically a quota system to manage the population of vehicles on the road. The authorities will released a fixed quota monthly based and pol bid for them online. The price is the lowest winning bid plus $1. Yes it gets crazy but on the flip side. Singapore is the only country in Asia without the crazy traffic situation. U hardly get stuck in traffic even during peak periods. Plus the public transportation helps . So yes if u really need a vehicle/ bike u have to pay for it else just take the bus or subway.

@@SmallBikeStuff those plates starting with the letter J's are Malaysians motorbikes. Singapore bikes starts with F and ends with another alphabet

@@kingpet46 or A for pre-1980 bikes if I'm not mistaken

Wow. I could buy a new sedan in Malaysia for SGD 20k

You're the best!

Exactly! Coming off a bike at even a low speed can do a lot of damage. I prefer riding a small bike fast than a big bike slow.

The community of small bike is still large at south east asia

Should look at Exporting the Older Bikes to Australia instead of Scraping! Thats is Complete Robbery!! I would be Pissed if they wanted to Take my Bikes!! It's Not Happening!! 😁

PAP MUST GO!

I have learned so much from the comment section! Thanks for the great info.

Some number plates from Kuala Lumpur, Sarawak and Sabah also have a single letter after the 4 numbers. Another way to tell is the font. In Malaysia there are a number of vanity fonts (probably illegal?).

Haha I see! Thanks for the comment. I have learned a lot in these comments.

Good info. Thanks for the comment.

LOL

Haha maybe for other foreigners not so much - but this is Small Bike Stuff after all.

Thanks so much for subscribing! Sorry for the late comment.

Amazing to know you got to see this video. I’ve learned so much since posting it I almost feel bad! Haha. I could have provided so much more information, thanks for watching.

@@SmallBikeStuff nah mate its fine. Your videos are amazing. Keep it coming! You’ve earned yourself 1 more subscriber!

Small Bikes are the best way to get around if you've got the environment for it. Appreciate all your views!

@@SmallBikeStuff anytime I appreciate the good videos of stuff I don't see usually

Safe to say I need to come back and check it out in detail!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Rudy!

I do love a Yamaha!

Completely agree! Sadly I was only there for 13 hours so I slept, woke up, ate, stumbled across this line up, filmed and jumped on a bus to Malaysia. I would love the guidance of a local next time I’m in Singapore.

@@SmallBikeStuff you can watch Farhan Tre to have a good idea on the types of bikes that you can find in Singapore! He's one of the local RU-vidrs here doing bike reviews.

Agreed! But I've learned a lot from the comments, Sounds like I was just looking in the wrong place.

Yeah that’s interesting. I’ve learned so much from this video. Lots of awesome comments with people happy to explain it. Thanks for watching

most of them just daily with a scooter while only using their big ones for recreational use but i agree, the lack of anything motorbike related killed the sport. only here it seems 'uncool' to ride a bike, no matter the displacement

@@maybona Back then..in the early 2000s, its common for girls to give a cheeky smile to bikers at the traffic light if you are riding big bikes. Now..everyone looking down at their phones

Definitely a cool little machine.

Great knowledge! Thanks for sharing.

Haha in New Zealand helmets are generally safe. In Thailand I've had 2 helmets stolen. Different everywhere I guess.

Agreed, local public transport was great.

I was just there a few days ago! Won’t be back for a while sadly. I put the call out a few weeks back on the channel for any local help. We’ll have to catch up next time. Where are you in Malaysia?

@@SmallBikeStuff currently in Selangor man over here with my 150cc 😄

If you Want to see Modified bikes; Thailand has the Craziest Mod bikes They Drag Race them Their bikes are Crazy Fast

Interesting! That’s good information. Are you based in Singapore or Malaysia?

You can buy plate from any state from the bike shop when you register the bike. It doesn't mean that if the vehicle has a T plate, it has to be from Terengganu. I bought my bike with a Kuching plate because i like the letter Q

@@SmallBikeStuff based in Malaysia, but have family in Singapore

@@tougeke70 yeah true that, but east coast state is a little bit fanatical on where they are from so I would assumed that lol.

Thanks for watching :)

Good insight. Thanks for sharing.

Not yet but I would love too some day!

not to Malaysia as they have export restriction on singapore car but they do, end up in Caribbean sometime

@@indenturedLemon New Zealand, where I come from actually gets some ‘luxury’ imports from Singapore too. I did a video about a Singapore import Aston Martin on my other channel.

ONLY In SG where a Single Pdt can be Taxed 8 TIMES in 8 Different WAYS. COE is An INVISIBLE Piece of paper; basically a Licence/Permit to Purchase a Vehicle in SG and use for 10 Years. Basically a 10 yr Lease. This is only Part of the Multi Level Taxation on Vehicles in SG that makes it THE MOST EXPENSIVE Country for Vehicle Ownership. Vehicles are Slapped with 8 Different Taxations on A Single Product - Import Tax - ARF - COE - Registration - Road Tax - ERP ( Additional Road Toll at specific times and stretches of road) - Petrol Tax. S$3.53/L ~USD 2.57/L so ~USD 9.73/GALLON of petrol for Shell V-Power - GST ( Goods n Svcs Tax) It is A Well Devised System to Squeeze the Citizens in Multi Faceted Taxation System. There U Have It. Reason Vehicle Ownership n Usage is 1 of THE Highest On The Planet

So that they can store helmet/gloves/raincoat.

Someone else just commented the same! Good spotting.

That’s a good point. It definitely works! Traffic is never really that bad.

No it doesn't, not when the flat rate tax is biased against low income earners who need to use bikes/cars for work, as opposed to those who use it more recreationally. On top of that, imported vehicles without the 10-year COE are already at least 200% more expensive, so say a brand new Adv160 these days costs about S$21,000 (inc COE S$12.5k) on-road. This bike, which is manufactured in Thailand, costs S$3900 on-road. It doesn't reduce traffic volume, it just forces more people into debt.

@@kylere795 true true. All good points. I guess it’s easy for someone who doesn’t live there and hasn’t spent much time there to see only one side of it. Appreciate your comment.

@@SmallBikeStuff That was the initial intention of the COE system, but somehow they've allowed the bidding to be fully vulnerable and manipulated by vehicle dealers so most people have no control over the inflation of the COE prices. Of course it has little impact to rich folks, so you still see many of the well-heeled owning many cars in their driveways like it's a garage sale. I've known people to have 20-30 luxury/supercars parked in their driveways. Go figure. If you're around the city area like Marina Bay Sands, Suntec, Orchard, you'll likely see quite a number of Ferrari, Lambs, and Rollies. But don't diss the "small cars" though, a Tesla Model 3 costs like S$250k-300k. Rest of the world thinks we're rich af, maybe true with us having the highest number of millionaires and billionaires per capita, but in reality, most people are up to their tits in debt

Lots of Honda 150’s! No Suzukis this time.

Even better! Gotta love a 3 cylinder.

Ahhhh that makes sense.

Very true.

Yes Hugh Jaanus. A motorcycle car park! Haha. Check my pinned comment

So they are! Thanks for watching.

I needed to look harder!

I love Indonesian Small Bikes!

Appreciate the comment. Thanks!

Thanks mate. I’m always up for a language lesson.

Good info!

Thats a great term. Super Moped!

Death by wallet?

@@SmallBikeStuff yes

I know right? Comments have taught me a lot!

How could you not be hyped up at such a great collection of machines?

Haha Kiwi accent for ya.

Yessss many different names for different markets.
