Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14

I've read the reviews for this Busa killer many times on the web but still, on Singapore road, not 1 has been spotted by me yet. It's believed that this bike can tear the Suzuki Hayabusa apart but I have not tested this bike myself, so it's still yet to be seen. As far as I know, this ZX14 boast a 190HP on 9500rpm, that alone can rip any bikes currently on the road in Singapore.

Considering the only major hyper bikes like the Busa in Singapore, this Ninja will definitely be the next craze once the dealer decides to mass import in. Right now, getting this bike to be on the road will be damn costly, I rough estimate would be around close to $30,000. With that kind of pricing, no wonder the take up rate is slow, but I do foresee a niche group of Kawa fans will jump on it once the price is right.

Having said all this, I myself is also eyeing on this monster, I just love the ecstacy while you are riding on a hyper bike. It would satisfy my hunger for attention if I am able to get hands on it soon.

Safe Riding Tips Part 1

Ever since I started riding in year 1993, I've met with numerous road accidents that nearly cost me my life, luckily I survived and today, I am going to share with all the bikers on how to keep yourself safe while riding on the road.

Remember when you first took your motorcycle 2B licence ? Blind spot was the keyword used by lots of trainees when it comes to the Traffic Police practical test. I used to think that blind spot checking was just another means of ways to fail you by the testers. Well, I was wrong than. Many a time, after I got my 2B licence, I totally forget about blind spots and was too excited on the road, that made me a road menace if I can use the term. Checking on blind spots enable you to confirm that there is no vehicle on the lane that you want to switch to or turning into a major or minor road. So please, its not just for formality sake, its for your life's sake.

Whatever that was tested on the practical road test are designed to prevent accidents and to save your life.

Safe Communication

As the IT technology gets more advanced, we see an array of communication headset bluetooth device being launched in the market from a few examples like Jabra, V3, Nokia and Sony Ericsson but none of the mentioned aboved do carry a headset specially for the bikers.
Only recently when I do a search over the internet on bluetooth headset for helmet do I realise that there actually is. Only thing is that the price may be a bit steep for the Singapore bikers, ranging from S$230 to S$300, depending on which internet source you are getting from.
The reason why I am posting this is that I have seen a lot of unsafe practises on the road where bikers would slid their cellphone into the helmet to answer phone calls. This really worries me because it hightens the chance of the rider to encounter any accident.
For the sake of safety and convenience, I urge all Singapore bikers to consider getting a headset for their riding even though they may feel that little bit of pinch from the price.
