Interestingly a lot of the bikes you saw were from Malaysia. If you notice the plates that start with J, they’re from Johor. A lot of Malaysians ride down to Singapore for work. And they’re usually on bikes that are used primarily for transport to work. If you were to go to the more residential parts of Singapore, you’d see a relatively larger variety of bikes, and some quite unique ones, although the range is still quite small. That’s where you can find the bikes that people may use for leisure or as a hobby.
@@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
Singapore motorcycle licence are capped at below 200cc, below 400cc and above 400cc. That's why you see alot of 400cc versions of bikes that you have in New Zealand, namely the CB400X. Our regulations are based on Japanese's. Much more popular here are the Honda CB400 Super Four 👍🏼
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.
My guess with the toll pass installed bikes are they must belong to daily commuters living in Malaysia. Appreciate their effort and work to keep Singapore busy and convenient.
LC 135 (malaysia) Jupiter MX (Indonesia) Exciter (Thailand, vietnam) Crypton (Greece) GTR supra (indonesia) = RS150r (malaysia) Aerox (indonesia) =NVX155 (malaysia) they're basically the same model just different coverset version and Y15ZR also called and Exciter but add the "150" or MX king for indonesia
I like how motorcycle parking is organized in Singapore. In the Philippines is so messed up that having to park a bigger bike would be a struggle. Probably because there are so many motorcycle riders that they need to fit in even the tightest parking slot
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"
In Singapore, there are riders who use large cc bikes for transportation as well as touring up north. You will have to travel out of Raffles Place to see a bigger variety of bikes. As for me, I use the Tracer and MT09 to go everywhere.
That bike park is near my office, I usually park in the multi story car park in my office building so I don't have to compete with others for these types of ground level lots. It's nice to find a channel that's focused on these everyday smaller displacement bikes/scooters.
I've never heard of 135cc bikes, that's an unusual engine displacement. Interesting how Yamaha 'recycled' the Exciter nameplate, it was used for a Yamaha SR variant in the US, the Exciter 185. And the Yamaha Exciter 220 and 270 was a boat, the Exciter 570 was a snowmobile!
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.
The current Certificate Of Enttitlement (Nov 2022) stands @ SGD$13, 189! Meaning a Honda Grom 125c will cost approx SGD$20k (On the Road). Welcome to Singapore
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.
The Mx King is called Y15zr or Ysuku in Malaysia. Yamaha still selling the LC, but the newer version was released this year, equipped with Fuel Injection instead of the old carburetor
Fun. The highlight for me in Singapore was the food stalls. Cheap and delicious. I wish I was wondering around the streets of Singapore. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is a little shredder. It has the same engine as the KTM duke so, 43 horsepower, 27 lb-ft of peak torque, and the bike weighs 148.0 kg (326.3 pounds) dry. Cheers for the upload.
I love small bikes after almost dying and tons of surgeries a light bike that's plenty fast us good for me..that first bike was awsome..and a few others
In Singapore, motorcycles and cars are taxed very heavily. This is one way our gov controls the population of the vehicles in the country. To buy a brand new motorcycle, not only we need to pay for the COE which currently averaged at $13,000 for that "digital paper". On top of that the gov also introduced ARF tax schemes on motorcycles based on their Open Market Value. For example motorcycles with OMV at $10000, we have to pay extra 50% tax so it becomes $15000, big motorcycles with OMV of $20000, we have to pay extra 100% tax so it becomes $40000. Recently two of my friends bought a BMW RT1250 at SGD$79,000 and a Yamaha FJR1300 for SGD$47,000. In 2020, I bought a brand new 2018 Suzuki VStrom DL1000XT for SGD$29,000.
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!! 😁
SG bike plates are AX----X, FX----X and FXX----X only. MY Bike plates are XXX----. One easy way to tell between SG and MY plates is the presence/absence of the last checksum letter. e.g. FBQ4187E (SG) vs JPK2692 (MY)
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?).
Singapore bike start with F and end with another alphabet whereas the rest are malaysian bikes with 3 alphabet Infront and without the alphabet behind. Most of the bikes parked behind the back lane are mostly smaller cc bikes. Bigger cc one are in the housing area carparks or in private house's compound. I Use to ride a Yamaha shaft drive, FJ650 cc bike. Cool bike 👍
Rain or shine, these sub 200cc Japanese brand bikes commute back and forth to/from Malaysia. Go stand at the border bridge at 7 am and you'll find hundreds of riders waiting on the side of the road for the commute toll to drop. Many of those small cc bikes have kits on (engine, exhaust, skinny tires) that can easily hit 120 km/h. But it's a bit scary when traffic is moving at 80 km/h and bikers zoom by at 100 km/h between cars...
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
larger displacement motorcycle prices in singapore is generally much cheaper than those across the causeway in malaysia mainly because of the huge taxes the malaysian government charge on their bigger imported bikes. Although singapore bikes are much cheaper, the malaysians cannot buy them in singapore and register them in malaysia because the malaysian government prohibits that. it's interesting to see singaporeans moan about high prices in singapore whilst it's even higher in malaysia (with salaries which are generally4 to 10 times lower than singaporeans)
Yeah do you know in Singapore COE november (paper value for a motorcycle is $12589) not include machine price, compare to New Zealand, we could get mt07 with these prices there..instead of a 150cc bike here.
For Singapore as per dec the coe is SGD 12.5K and it only last for 10 year. So generally for new bike below 200cc it will cost 18 to 20k SGD which is really insane price and compare to Malaysia with that amount of money i can buy a few of the same bike and different color🤣
The biking scene in singapore has reduce so much. We use to see big bikes all over Singapore..now because of the huge tax or coe, those bikes are rare now.
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
Heyya new subscriber here from Singapore 🇸🇬 hope your trip has been a good one and I fully agree with you that the cost of owning a vehicle here be it car or motorcycle is absolutely ridiculous. Its meant to curb and regulate the number of vehicles on the road but I don't think that's a good solution. Looking forward to your videos man. Safe travels buddy.
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.
that Yamaha at 0:52 travel quite far from Malaysia (it's from the State of Terengganu which is about 7-8 hrs away from Singapore; probably lived in Johor, though) and if you see one with J** ****** plate with no suffix, it's from Johor (or most plate without suffix are from Malaysia) Singapore plate are usually F** with suffix
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
Idk mate, we South Easterner believe for everyday commuting (50+ Km/day) the engine component from Yamaha is tougher and need less maintenance than other big 4 counterpart.
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
Yesterday Survived a 3 foot of flood on My Yamaha Nmax in Lisbon and Also survived Open Sewer at 70kmph, I will just say go get @yamaha as they're best motos you can buy
Next time you're back in SG, go outside of the usual tourist spots bro! The housing estates etc. Will surely see more types of bikes, but still a small range. Most common are Yamahas and Hondas.... Currently riding a Yamaha myself haha..
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 UA-camrs here doing bike reviews.
All those motorcycle you pointing is from malaysia probably worker or just went to singapore for business or shopping.. singapirean rarely need for motorcycle or car because their public transport is just nice
Sundiro Honda is like a Chinese manufacturing branch of Honda. I used to have a dirt bike made by them, engine is pretty good but buttons and switches are crappy.
Would love to give you guys more insights on these bikes ngl,they are everywhere here and people LOVE modifying these bike to the extreme. When are you guys visiting Malaysia again?
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?
If there no COE to control the population of motor vehicles in Singapore, we will be having jamming traffic daily. 😅 My first bike was a Yamaha RXK135 and later replaced with Yamaha LC125. Is it only here that many bikers don't bother to hide their helmets ⛑ ? 😂
Definitely interested in hearing about the 8yr cut off/penalty and if it can be explained why they do that and what happens to them after? (exported or scrapped?)
@@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.

Good insight. Thanks for sharing.
I Liked the MUT Retro bike at the End of the Line!👍
Definitely a cool little machine.
I usually fold my bike and put it in my briefcase as I take the lift to my office.
COE and heavy taxation is one way to minimize traffic volume in Singapore and it works
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
Enjoy viewing your video. 2 thumbs up
Thanks for watching Rudy!
Most of the 125s n 150s you saw is made in thailand.
Yesterday Survived a 3 foot of flood on My Yamaha Nmax in Lisbon and Also survived Open Sewer at 70kmph, I will just say go get @yamaha as they're best motos you can buy
I do love a Yamaha!
Next time you're back in SG, go outside of the usual tourist spots bro! The housing estates etc. Will surely see more types of bikes, but still a small range. Most common are Yamahas and Hondas.... Currently riding a Yamaha myself haha..
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 UA-camrs here doing bike reviews.
Kinda surprised there is no newer version of R15
Agreed! But I've learned a lot from the comments, Sounds like I was just looking in the wrong place.
All those motorcycle you pointing is from malaysia probably worker or just went to singapore for business or shopping.. singapirean rarely need for motorcycle or car because their public transport is just nice
Agreed, local public transport was great.
Sundiro Honda is like a Chinese manufacturing branch of Honda. I used to have a dirt bike made by them, engine is pretty good but buttons and switches are crappy.
Great knowledge! Thanks for sharing.
the X-ADV is DCT, so it has 2 clutches 🤣 but yea, no clutch lever.
There is very limited bikes in SG tbh... Yamaha and Honda dominates the markets.
Would love to give you guys more insights on these bikes ngl,they are everywhere here and people LOVE modifying these bike to the extreme.
When are you guys visiting Malaysia again?
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

CEO is for 10 years and not 8 years. 8 years applicable to Taxi only.
i’m pretty that’s a yamaha tracer 900? isn’t it?
Someone else just commented the same! Good spotting.
Have u ever been to Indonesia?
Not yet but I would love too some day!
If there no COE to control the population of motor vehicles in Singapore, we will be having jamming traffic daily. 😅 My first bike was a Yamaha RXK135 and later replaced with Yamaha LC125. Is it only here that many bikers don't bother to hide their helmets ⛑ ? 😂
Haha in New Zealand helmets are generally safe. In Thailand I've had 2 helmets stolen. Different everywhere I guess.
Definitely interested in hearing about the 8yr cut off/penalty and if it can be explained why they do that and what happens to them after? (exported or scrapped?)
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.
@@indenturedLemon ua-cam.com/video/niniaaGHwxg/v-deo.html
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
Thanks for sharing😃👍🙏
