To bike or not to bike; that is the question

[robot.sonic]

Yung bagong trabaho ko ay medyo irregular na ang schedule pero daytime lang naman.

Ang travel ko ay from kamuning, qc to morayta area (manila). daily route ay e rodriguez then morayta area. medyo traffic sa espana at sobrang hirap ng parking sa morayta area kahit na sa compound na pinagtatrabahuhan ko. pag hapon lang ang trabaho ko, sigurado wala na akong slot for parking. Ayaw ko din naman mag commute kasi sobrang tagal ng byahe. Pag coding day ko naman, Kailangan ko pumasok ng sobrang aga. 830 AM pa ang
start ng trabaho ko. Kung hanggang 530 lang ang trabaho, e di kailangan kong mag stay until 7 nyan.

Kaya naisip ko bumili ng big bike. 400 cc lang para magamit din for fun. hehe

Pros:
Mas tipid sa gas.
Mas maiksi ang travel time.
Mas madali makahanap ng parking slot. Kung saang gilid gilid lang sa loob ng compound pwede na.

Cons:
Additional na gastos for maintenance, registration, etc.
Di kasing safe ng kotse.

Ano sa palagay nyo?

My personal preference would be a MotoX type bike/Dhakar type/motard instead of a MotoGP type bike.

Pwede pang baha. Macho din naman tingnan. Dami din riding group using these kind of bikes. Tipong BMW pa gamit.

Professor ka ba bro? Di naman masyado mahirap ang parking sa morayta, although minsan kelangan lang talaga maghintay ng matagal. Lalo na ngayong ginagawa yung kalsada dun.

dre kung ako, i'd get the kawasaki ninja 250. tipid sa gas, may porma, fuel injected pa. 400cc kasi d advisable sa sikip ng daan, too big pag ma traffic, para ka na ring gumagamit ng kotse nun d mo kasi maisingit hehe. ok din yung motox type, gawin mong motard, pwede pa sya sa mga lubak na kalsada incase kelangan. try searching sa google ng crf250 supercross, mga ganyan tipo maganda. d kasing safe simply implies sa lahat, though mas safe ang kotse since it could offer more protection. but it still depends on the way you drive

Maganda nga din yang ganyang type. Mas relaxed pa ata ang driving position.

Teacher teacheran lang sa review center ng board exam. Hehehe. Naranasan ko na na dalawang ikot ako sa r papa para maghanap ng parking. Yung building kasi ng school pinapapark sa loob kahit di tenants don. Pero ngayon ok na.

May kausap na ako na seller ng cb 400 super four. Medyo malaki nga sya pero kaya pa ding isingit sa traffic. Tsaka magagamit din sa expressway. Hehehe.


Salamat sa inyong lahat. Sana ok yung bike na titingnan ko sa saturday.

[cpsolt]

if you're on a budget. any scooter or underbone would do.

maganda yung sachs madass saka x road. i think kymco came up with their bare bones model dunno what it's called.

[robot.sonic]

Di ko masyado preferred ang underbone. Based sa mga posts dito, parang may impression kaaagad ang mga cagers na pasaway ang mga ub riders. Kaya big bike ang mas gusto ko. Kahit papano medyo mas nirerespeto ang big bike sa kalsada. Feeling ko lang naman yan. Hehe.

Im not after speed naman. In terms of fuel efficiency, yung 20km/l ay malaking improvement na compared sa kotse. Tsaka yung parking mas madali.

Kung magkasundo kami ng seller sa saturday, ayos na ako. Hehe.

in my opinion, you don't need much that 400cc bike power since city/street commute is just your daily commute/route, but if you typically want a bike which offer efficiency and have that BIG BIKE spirit..get a Honda CBR 250R, (efficient * 250cc and performance wise) and totally its decent compact sportsbike.



retrofitted with projector lights na to. hehehe!!

[12vdc]

*TS

Mas practical underbone sa requirement mo, or naked bikes up to 250cc. Had owned superfour at hindi ganoon kadali isingit sa traffic. I live near your workplace at mahirap talaga public parking, dapat maaga ka.. Most of the times commute lang din at nakagarahe lagi sasakyan. BTW i have Yama FZ16 minsan lang din gamitin and planning to replace with duke para wala masyado kaparehas.. Hopefully pwede sa expressway yung duke390 or i might get N650, i miss 4hrs bike ride to bicol..

Nakuha ko na cb 400 s4. Thanks sa inyo lahat.

Chief, if budget (PhP420k to PhP450k brand new and depending on your recognised importer), height (around 5'7" and up with an average riding skills) are not an issue and you want something na medyo malakas ang arrive hehe ;) , suggest look into this sir:

Honda CRF450X
2014 CRF450X Overview - Honda Powersports


It has a small brother, the CRF250X.... Will give you contacts if interested at sila na din bahala sa Customs re importation from the US or Japan and sila na rin magpapa-rehistro sa LTO for a fee. You may also look into the KTM bikes, c/o Toti Alberto of Access Plus in P. Tuazon, Cubao, though the KTM bikes cost more than the Jap ones. There is also a Yamaha WR450 and WR250.

2014 Yamaha WR450F Home, information


Just mate them with motard tyres to fit your requirement, then if you want during the weekend, plug back the stock knobby tyres and time for you to hit the offroad, mild to serious ones ;)

Goodluck sa search mo chief.

Nakakuha na ako ng '95 cb 400 for 135k + konting repair sir. Hehe. Thanks pa din.:-)

used to have one also pero 2000 model yung akin. very great beginner big bike, yon nga lang hirap maneuver sa traffic and i won't recommend it for daily use. great thing about it is kung mag kano kuha mo ganon mo din maibebenta or more depende sa ayos mo, di bumababa ang resale value ng cb4. kung kukuha ako ngayon ng bike for daily use ktm200 ang kunin ko.

Hi sir Forester, check out the all-new KTM Freeride 250R if you're aiming for the 2-stroke chief.... 23 hp motor with way more than low-end rpm torque as it's design both for weekend trail-riding, trials riding and enduros. It uses a torque pipe rather than an open pipe (fat pipe without buffles inside), where the latter is the one that the 39 hp KTM 200EXC or my 47 hp YZ250 are using.

The KTM Freeride 2-stroke weighs only 92 kg and the seat height is at low 36-inch (915 mm) compared to the 200EXC's 38 to 39-inch seat height. KTM also has a lowering-link for the Freeride 250R down to another 1-inch in seat height.

How much will this beauty cost sir?

Ive been looking at the ktm200 but i read bad feedback from other fora about access plus. Wonder if they're all true.

Hi chief Remzam, is the feedback about the trader/ importer mentions anything about a questionable reputation sir? i'm also curious as to which dealer i should be going for.... We have Nani Pazcoguin, Jovie Saulog, Jolet Jao, Jun Jun San Andres (father of MX champ Kenneth San Andres) and some more others as other bike importers.

As to the KTM prices, if a brand new Honda CRF250-X or 450-X, Yamaha WR250F or 450F cost around PhP430k to PhP450k imported straight from the US or Japan from the bike importers mentioned above, expect that the KTM Freeride 250R might just be above those numbers from Access Plus, but perhaps close to the PhP450k range or more.... It should cost lesser than a full-blown or full-size (250cc and above) KTM enduro bike like the EXC/ EXC-F series and its SX/ SX-F motocross bikes.... Though we don't really know how much it will cost more compared to the Japanese ones

As a comparison also, and this is in late 2007, i got my 2008 YZ250 2-stroke for around PhP375k brand new straight from California from one of the importers while my friend got his brand new 2008 CRF450-X for PhP420k. All i can say is that the Japanese bikes are built for reliability and are cheaper to maintain than the Euro-made bikes....

This is only my 2 centavos advice sir.... i'm still intent though on getting one of these Freeride 2-stroke sweeties at any possible time or opportunity, as long as the wifey won't learn about it first ahoho :D

Cheers sir.
