Dubai Forums

Need to check:

1) price of fullface helmets (Shoei/Arai/etc)
2) 2-pc leathers (Dainese/Alpinestar/etc) or vented riding jackets
3) riding boots (Gaerne/Alpinestar/Dainese/etc)

If its cheap...then I won't bother to bring me gear when I move to Dubai.

Cheers....

Even helmets...!!!!!!!!!!?????????

Hola...
Just need to find out the superbike scene in Dubai. What do you guys do?

a) weekend twisties;
b) track days; or
c) highways?

Any good mountain twisties in Dubai or the surrounding area?

Thanks Scot for the extensive feedback.

Looks like I gotta spare 30 kgs for my bike gear then....

Thanks for this topic. I have this problem too..but worse!!! Am a Malaysian currently in Malaysia, with a New Zealand degree & an Australian CPA :roll: . I may have to do this process myself as the company I'll be joining is a fairly new setup where the HR guys are in Jiddah. As there will only ...

Can anyone give me ballpark figures for used superbikes??
How many % interest for financing?? How many years??
Thanks in advance.

wear your motorcycle jacket and pants. Keeps the helmet in your handcarry. That should help with the weight.

Hahahhaha....don't want the air hostess to freak out seeing me in my 2-pc leathers on board the plane.

Let me know if you are looking for anything specific and i'll keep an eye out for you ! :wink: Currently, riding a Z1k to work, wknd twisties & occasional track days. (Used to ride a ZX 636 for hte same purpose). What's available to suit the same usage in Dubai? Looking for a 600 sportbike or 1...

Yup..please share, as I'm in the same boat too!!
(Obviously, not exact figures but giving a range would be good).

Thanks S&O

Ebay has been good to me. Ok here in Malaysia, dunno about Dubai though.....

the Nekkid Yamaha 600 will be the perfect bike for you Dhs 34000 from the showroom brand new ! 8) A naked 600 would be a bit underpower for me...at least 750 :D The Yammy you mentioned....is it a Fazer?

Any link for the motovation...

cheers

No links but I have the contact of the shops that I frequent in S'pore...that is if you're going to S'pore cuz they don't deliver to overseas.

devilsdiciple wrote:That would be a prob..Was there a few months ago...Do the bungs require any fairing mods??

Motovation wouldn't if you get the ones made for your ride. The cheaps ones yes but minimal & almost unnoticeable.

Hiren you will need to attend 40 classes from the driving schools and then pass the garage, signal and road test. You will need to first apply either a car and a bike licence and then the other From what I've heard, you can only rent a car on a international licence on a visit visa Does this mean 4...

Which make are the easiest & cheapest to maintain in Dubai (considering spareparts & repairs +availability of reliable mechanics)

The how does the bikers in Dubai enjoy their rides??? Zooming up & down the hiways only???

Adding to my previous post. I liked the Yamaha FZ6 and the Suzuki GSR600. Not too powerful, decent handling etc. Does anyone have any views on these 2 bikes? The reviews on the internet seem to be quite favorable. There's nothing wrong in getting a bigger cc bike as long as u really get used to it ...

There's nothing wrong in getting a bigger cc bike as long as u really get used to it the first 2-3 months before 'redlining' it. I started with a ZZR600 a couple of years back & now I'm getting my knees down at the twisties. But if u're not very confident, I think a 600 naked is ok but not a 60...

How much does a Yamaha TDM 900 (post '02) costs?

i won't call it decent decent but its cheaper than staying on SZR! well its actually ok...the china cluster is complete and occupied. but the quality of the plumbing is pretty bad.. i've got quite a number of leakages from ceiling to kitchen to washing machine pipe. getting it fixed tomorrow and wi...

yeah i guess it would be a good place. i think by the time u get here there is gonna be quite a number of new places opening up. Currently 1 beds are going for 50k and studio at about 40k. Hopefully with the new clusters opening up you can get a cheaper place. they usually require u to pay up front...

Hope they'll maintain the same service standard once I get a place there...if I manage to.
