^

ayaw mo ng ganito sir?
Honda CBR150

[Ry_Tower]

Mas ok ito IMO.

[timrev]

Mas ok ito IMO.

magkano kaya yan? parang mas mahal pa yan sa CBR...

[Ry_Tower]

^ oo mas mahal, P225K yung 125cc, eh 200 cc yang Duke. Pero KTM naman kasi.

Yang CBR kasi pangit yan sa personal. Tsaka performance niya dissapointing sa price niya. Tatalunin pa yan ng Rouser 135LS or nung bagong mas maganda, Rouser 200NS.

CPI is a different company from ducati and no ducati doesn't make low end motorcycles. that's like saying ferrari/lamborghini is making an affordable car.:bwahaha:

bro walang ducati na 100k lang ang price kahit mga lumang ducati. mga ducati nasa 800k-1.5M ang price, di pa yon mga special edition nila. basta mga big bike nasa 300k pataas pag 2nd hand tapos 500k pa taas pag brand new, the cheapest big bike you can get is the honda super 4 nasa 150k ata ang price.

Kumpara kaya sa kawasaki 650, 650cc na at 340k lang ang price?

Samantalang ang kawasaki 250 nasa 250k rin ang price!

While that's reaaaally cheap for a 600+ cc bike, consider that the price difference is something like 50% of the total price of the Ninja 250R...

For a beginner, masyadong malaki at malakas yata ang 650R... The 250R is already fast, but at least in terms of size and weight... and, most of all... power, it's still manageable for a relatively new rider... it just has a little more torque over an underbone 150, and the torque curve is flat... The power comes spread out over a very wide rev range... whereas with the 650, a small twist of the wrist and... ...it makes over twice the torque of the 250R at just off idle...

Thanks Niky!

Plan to use for my single ride in crossing cities, at syempre mas may laban kung magawi ako ng e-way at Manila.
Kung K250 kasi hindi ka makadaan ng e-way (pero madalang naman ito), tapos ang price difference lang nila versus K650 is almost 100k pesos. So, ang worry ko na lang talaga e yung handling. Hindi ko pa kasi nakakasubok ng bigbike, at hindi naman ako ganon kalaki at kabigat, I'm around 140-lbs.

Any further advice?

(Dukati naman, masyadong mahal at kailangan nyan meron kang escort.)

^what 600cc bike are you talking about ba? You just said Kawasaki 600cc. Baka naman its a Motocross/motard rather than a Sports Bike?

[niky]

If the ability to go on the highway is what you're after... mukha ngang the Ninja is the cheapest brand-new highway legal bike you can get. Wala kasing 400cc dito.

Ang kulit kasi ng mga highway admins... 250cc is more than enough to maintain the 80 km/h highway minimum. Heck... 150cc is more than enough.

i think it's better if 400cc, most of 150cc bikes we have are the underbones and we don't want most of those idiots on our highways. 250cc might be ok though as long as they got their license properly so they know the traffic rules.

Yung gladius ng susuki alam ko 400cc yun pero ang price nasa 400tow, ang hindi ko pa type kita yung hose na nasa tabi ng tangke.
