ok u got me going.. i really really want a bike, the problem is i dont know how to drive one. You know anyone who would teach me? I tried back in lebanon a few times, but hopeless.

DAMN! Those are all amazing bikes. I cant stop looking at them!

the kawasaki zx-10R n Yamaha R1 look cool .. hows the aprillia bike?
yea i wanna learn too.. i think the Tristar guyz can teach u how to ride.

This is what I have been waiting for! Awesome reviews. Now you’re going to start a revolution. It also seems there are many out there who’d like to learn. We’ll be waiting for the post on that!

Fonzy: Tristar will teach you for 200KD. They will take you through the whole thing! I love these bikes too! hehehehe

chr0nik: your right the Tristar guys will teach you. And they will help you out with everything.

Transparently: Im happy it could help you out, Im going to edit the post so people will get the information.

Now you got me in a dilema. I have always wanted a CBR but if the dealer is *this* bad, I have to reconsider. My second choice would be the Kawasaki Ninja.

Marzouq, apart from dealership woes, what sport bike do you recommend in terms of quality, performance, and ride between the CBR and the Ninja?

Hitman1: Honestly its all about what you want to do, the Ninja has been toned down slightly, meaning its more managabele now. The Ninja is a very wild bike, it has a lot of power and can be dangerous in the wrong hands. But its a fantastic bike. The CBR is a nice laid back sportsbike.. you will feel comfortable on it, but the seat needs to be changed for something with more padding! But as I said the problem is the dealership, it seemed very shady!

so for a beginner the CBR is a safer bike to start with rite marzouq? 200KD to learn ? bit steep isnt it n is it their bike incase we trash it hehe

chr0nik: yeah its their bike, but thing this they are the only ones who do offer proper learning courses for different levels, and they are good courses. The CBR isnt safer then the NINJA, its just tamer, but if you want another recommendation then I would take the Yamaha R1 over the Honda CBR, because the Yamaha dealership didnt seem shady at all they were straight forward. And the R1 is a very comfortable bike to start off on, isnt as wild as the Ninja, but overall a better bike from my experience.

Amazing post, the Ducati 999 is really fucking hot.

[...] Z District just posted on different bikes you can buy in Kuwait plus their prices. He also talks about the different dealers and what their advantages are. I have to agree with him on TriStar, they are real pros, even their mandoob is a rider! [Link] Filed under: Motorbikes Posted by Mark on 08.23.06 | Related Entries [...]

how can i contact Tristar?

I am nearing my mid-life crisis period, so picking up one of these babies may just be the ticket to keep things fresh!!

You forgot to mention the Harley Davidson mate, its the biggest community in Kuwait.

Mark: I agree the 999 is so damn hot!

Fonzy: the phone number is listed up top!!!!

cajie: I agree with you 100%

fadibou: But as I mentioned in the notes above, I know Harley Davidson has a very good reputation in Kuwait for its service, and its people. The thing is that Harley Davidson doesnt relate to these types of bikes, not really comparable. So I made a small note that it doesnt involve them.

fonzy here are their numbers, maybe marzouq can add them to the original post:

TriStar

actually just read marzouqs comment and realized their numbers ARE on top and the sites lol, didnt notice it before..

what about gettin a bike license? is it difficult?

well first you need to get a learners permit. i am going to get mine on sunday. will post details on it once i do it.

I am not in Kuwait long enough to get a bike, but if you guys like sport bikes don’t forget Buell (you can get them at most Harley dealers…I assume the same is true in Kuwait). I think my cousin said they had them at the dealership in Saudi.

http://www.buell.com/en_us/home.asp

I have driven my friends’ in the US and they are great machines.

Mark: loool, I will be waiting for the details Mark!

Chr0nik: its not difficult at all!

Laith: I think the Buell is a great piece of machinary, but I dont think it is available through the Harely Dealer in Kuwait except through special order. They dont have them in stock, I havent seen any in Kuwait.

Marzouq,

Is the Ducati really worth its price tag?

Hello all,..been considering a Ducati Monster as a starter. Have checked out the ones in Tristar and I really fancy them, especially the S2R. Any background info would be helpful..

Much appreciated

Hitman1: There are two ways to think about this. How often do you think you will ride it, the Ducati is a lovely piece of machinary and an amazing bike. The price is in it, because it is Italian, but then again if you think your not capabale enough to be on it I would recommend the Japanese because the day you drop the motorcycle its really going to hurt. Meaning if you make a mistake on a Japanese bike it isnt as painful as making a mistake on the Ducati. But as riding goes, you should get on a Ninja and see how you feel, then go get on a Ducati.

nudorp: The S2r is an excellent bike, with a lot of Gusto. Whats great about this monster is its low end torque which gives it this amazing feel when your riding it. And just because its a naked bike it doesnt mean its lacking in handling. They have super corsa tires on that bike meaning race tires. I really recommend it especially since I know the monster’s seat is so comfortable. Its important for you to feel comfortable on the bike.

the black one looks HOT

Laialy: U liked the Ninja! hehehe! Everyone likes black!

once u go black thers no goin back ?? hehehe

chr0nik: u just had to! Didnt you!

lol sum1 had to

chr0nik: hehehe

WOW the black one is so sexy !!
Its so annoying that girls cant ride motorcycles in Kuwait ! Id love to have the black one!!
Thanks for the info.

auto insurace auto insurace

Marzouq… what have you done!

(tuts and shakes her head slowly)

maybe i can get a used one…. jus too expensive for me…. how come no bmw???

S: Yup thats the Ninja!

The Grenadine: I just open the door, you have to walk through it! hehehe

mocman: oh, I was just looking at bikes that people were thinking off and asking me questions, nobody asked about a beemer! hehehe

indians can buy this sexy bikes…??? or this is only for kuwaitis,…???

rafi: Indians can buy whatever they want!

dude…if u wanna learn to ride a bike..i suggest u try da 250 cc bikes first….u have to start low and den jump step by step….ppl who think they are kings of da roadz on superbikes…end up straight in hell….m plannin to buy a r1 or a honda or ninja…but i dunno wats da criteria for a bike license in kuwait

dabeast: There are two things.. you get a learners permit and then you apply for an appointment. Your best bet is to head over to 248am to get the infro from Mark who recently went through this.

The thing about riding a 250 in Kuwait its pretty dangerous you dont have an open are to try out the bike or ride nomrally. So you have to get something that is good enough to enjoy and keep away from the car. Its not easy finding that balance.

Hi there

I have lived in kuwait for about 18 yrs or so and am now living in Australia. I have an australia motorbike license and wish to know how do i get it transfered to a kuwait motorbike license and also how do i get it insured and get a good deal on my purchase.The bike i love to ride is a Honda CBR 1000rr. I come into Kuwait on a visit visa so …is there any regualtion or shit of that sort..pls advice guys ..caz i love to ride on kuwait roads…

thanx mate

Austin: The only way you can ride a motorcycle in Kuwait is using an international motorcycle license and thats if you do not reside in Kuwait. Since your on a visit Visa, so you go to your AA in Australia and get in international Motorcycle License. In kuwait there is no full insurance on any motorcycles, only Liability insurance is provided, no company provides full insurance. Im not sure if they will even provide you with insurance since you do not reside in Kuwait. They make things a bit difficult here. Regarding deals, well you dont have that many options since Japanese Bikes are abused so badly that you wouldnt want it used, and buying them new is difficult enough since they dont give-in that much on the price. I hope this gives you an idea.

Hi marzouk …thanx for your reply ..appreciate it dude …can you please explain that phrase Japanese bikes are abused so badly ..and why it aint good to get a new one or is it just hard to get a new one…Are there any bike rental companys ..like for cars and stuff….this wud be the first time i wud be trying to ride bikes in kuwait so need as much help as i can get and you hve been a great help …

Thanx buddy

Austin: If your planning to buy a used Japanese bike I dont advise it because in Kuwait they abuse the bikes so much because they are relatively cheap in people’s opinion. Many idiots regard motorcycles as accessories and abuse them and dont think twice about maintaining, if anything goes wrong they just sell them. That is the problem. Regarding buying a new one, it isnt difficult at all, Im just saying that there is one dealer for each brand so you have little to no room to negotiate the price. Riding motorcycles in Kuwait isnt as bad as people think, its all about riding at the right times and the right places. There are places you really want to avoid because they could dont have that much respect for motorcyclists here, because of some of the stunts these idiots pull. In kuwait there arent any motorcycle rental places like there are in Europe since they would probably get destroyed from day one. Let me know if you need anything else!

hi again

that much more clearer to me now…caz out ere on the Gold Coast therz places where u can rent bikes and they provide CTP( compulsary third party) insurance and stuff….caz i was like oh ok when i get there i can just go into the airport rental services and get it done from there ….u have solved one issue of mine … which means only two ways which is a catch22 – buy new one and u get stuffd wid market prices cz less dealers around and buy used onz and hope it doesnt have an expiry date tag on it . I guess i wud be better off getting a new one for a better price and then selling it off rather than hunt for deals around for a good used one….I have been on Kuwaiti roads and i know how it feels when were in cars …forget bikes …where u wud probably even get to see a 3 lane change with no indicators and less than 2 secs space…have seen it happen quite often out there.

Nice to see a few bike groups around …would love to see sum kewl bikes around. just before i sign off …can u tell me if visitors are allowed to get local motorbike licenses if they undergo local training or are they completely barred from the process.

How much the Suzuki Hayabusa 2008 model cost out in kuwait? Are suzuki themselves handling these bikes?

Im a female, I love bikes and I want to learn how to ride. Where can I find a suzuki 600 for a good price?

Aristo: Not sure of the price, but yes Suzuki are the ones handling those bikes.

Shae: If you want to learn how to ride in Kuwait you can contact TriStar and they would be able to help you. I wouldn’t recommend any of the Japanese dealers in Kuwait, the service is pretty bad.

Hello 2 all the bikers around here …

I’m in kuwait from like 7 years and you guys are driving me CRAZY … Not in a bad way …
Every time I see a bike on the streets I can’t help thinkin about the great feeling of adrenaline, freedom & speed a biker gets …

Anyone I told I wanna get a bike replied something like:
“… It’s not safe in Kuwait, it’s very hot in Kuwait, the cars are not very friendly to Bikers in Kuwait, do u wanna die? …” etc
Any advice on those points?

I WAAANT A BIKE … I’m going crazy about motorcycles.

I just hate that everytime I have something else to take care of first … so tha bike has to wait …

I hope 2008 will be THA RIGHT TIME
Greetz to all of you and hope to see you soon on the road.
(and I don’t mean see you from my car …)

Hi all, loved reading your enthusiasm and for expressed love at first sight for many.
I’ve been an aggressive rider for 12 years in the streets of Los Angeles and am currently on a Ducati monster 998. As one that has been down several times, done track time, and owned 5 (going on 6) bikes, I’d like to offer some on here (especially new riders) a few tips,,,

Start small. Bikes have gotten faster every year, and rider ability has not kept pace with it. Most seasoned riders here advocate new riders start small and used, then trade up. If you dump it it will hurt pocketbook alot less (and physically as well since the bike will not be a meteor on impact)

Learn as much as possible. Take a safety class first then a track class if you plan on riding aggressively. Join motorcycle forums and read up there.

All sportbikes are good nowadays, and personal choice comes down to look and comfort (or tolerance for discomfort in the case of most sportbikes. . My monster has no edge over other bikes, and I love it simply for the naked look, the rumble of the twin engine, and finally the way the open clutch clacks.

Good luck with your choice : )

Hi pal,
