Types of Dragstar in Singapore

There are currently 3 types of 400cc Dragstar available in the market, Dragstar Custom, Dragstar Classic (version 2000) and Dragstar Classic (2002 above)

Dragstar Custom ..The looks is quite similar to Shadow Slasher, normally we can find on the road is orange color... shorter tail..

Dragstar Classic (2000)Normally can find on the road are with combination of 2 colours, grey and black or red and white, blue and grey. Duck Tail. Engine cover is chrome.

Dragstar Classic (2002)Normally can find on the road one are black color. Only different from 2000 is using the Floor Board, digital speedometer, matt black engine cover

Dragstar Classic (2004)Similar with 2002 version, only difference is the engine cover is chrome.

My opinion after riding for 1 year:
-outstanding looks and rare on the road,
Quiet and smooth even at high speed,
less maintainence needed, only periodically changing of engine oil, oil filter, shaft oil and etc, Stable....Quite hard to e-brake during raining day,
polish until siao,
original accessory expensive,
dun spoilt your shaft...
