Ducati Scrambler

[K.I.L.L.]

Today, I got stuck in traffic for 3 hours for what normally would take me a 20-minute drive without traffic. I have been thinking of getting a motorcycle for quickly getting around the city during the day. I thought the scrambler might be a nice option.

Does anyone have one? What are your thoughts about it?

I'm still on the fence but I just thought it might be fun to ride on weekends too.

Around the city, I would rather ride one of those small scoots than a large bike.

Maporma nga large bikes pero if you're gona be driving it pang city, you'll end up using it like a car most of the time sa laki nya. Hasel maipit sa traffic kapag nakamotor ka, during the day mapapaso ka sa init when you're stopped.

I tried one of those honda beat scooters from a friend, sarap gamitin kasi sobrang nimble. I ended up getting a somewhat larger scoot from kawasaki though kasi i was looking for useful space sa compartment, then nabitin pa and then i added a top box sa likod, one of those givi ones.

sobrang handy ng scoot, i use it for a lot of pambahay and small errands, sometimes kapag alam ko rin heavy ang traffic i would use it kahit naka business attire ako - make sure lang na yung jacket mo is not mesh type, use yung mga leather or close to leather para iwas alikabok sa main attire mo, and also baka maduraan ka ng mga pasehero ng ibang sasakyan - hahaha! i have not experienced this but i've heard stories from other riders.

if you're gona go for scooters, dami choices ngayon mga fuel injected and may ala istop features pa.

but yeah, for weekend rides masarap talaga mga larger bikes, pero marami rin naman weekend rides group mga scoots like vespa and the likes.

Would I buy a Ducati Scrambler? Definitely, yes, as a second or third bike only. But for daily ride? Maybe at first you can. Many have said that they can use their above 400cc daily. Good luck!

Vespa for traffic bug bikes for weekends

[Ry_Tower]

I'd reco the Honda XLR200 or CRF250 if you want something really better or Yamaha XTZ125 if you want something cheaper. Why mataas? Para kung puwede iakyat sa sidewalk okay din. Sarap a suspension vs scooters. HD pa. Dami din piyesa.

Baha? Anong baha baha? Lampas bewang kaya nang mga yan.

+100 My kuya sometimes uses his vespa from Alabang to Makati. I can't imagine doing it myself (heat and smog)

Bawal isampa sa gutter/easement ang motorbike dito sa maynila, ticket mas abala. Im liking the new Honda RS150 fi, de-clutch is still better than those auto scoots.

dapat bawal nga. kawawa mga pedestrians. pero sa forbes UST, daming naka motor sa sidewalk

Kaya really depends. Kung city maganda scooter - twist and go, easy to filter, may floor board kaya di madudumihan ang iyong shoes kahit dumaan sa basa/putik etc. - okay pang office. Andyan ang dirt bike (CRF, Serow) kung trailing / long ride. Andyan ang bigbikes (both sports or naked) na pang expressway/long rides. MOtard kung both pag city and pang action. Kung gusto talagang matipid - andyan ang underbones na 100-125cc.

may good riding school ba sa atin? aside from Honda. ang layo kasi ng honda and traffic parati to and from the riding school nila.

If you're planning of buying a big bike, buy one having a radiator. Old model Ducati's are known to overheat specially on traffics.
Underbone or scooter bike are better on traffic. Easy to maneuver and light to handle.

Just want to share Manila-Baguio ride via Vespa.

Scooter or a smaller displacement motorcycle is best for city riding. You also have bigger compartment.

You can use 400-650cc as daily ride if you are more experienced rider. Yes you need to factor the wider body of a bigger bike and see if you can filter thru traffic. Beyond that displacement, di na practical. Pang long ride lang talaga and track days.

You also have to consider if you want to save gas money, a bigger bike consumes a lot of fuel, though maybe not as much as a car.

Consider comfort as well if you are used to travelling inside an air-conditioned car.

If you're going to ride a motorcycle, will you be an "all-weather" rider, rain or shine?

Just my thoughts.

PS: A scrambler is small and nimble enough I think to be used for metro.

Also, please kung mag mo motor kayo wag nyo ibangketa ang motor. It's unethical and you don't own the road. Actually di sya road, pang tao na ang bangketa.

Be responsible when riding motorcycles. Share the road properly.

Oo naman. Pero kung halimbawa nga wala naman tao sa bangketa at para nga makausad agad sa traffic eh why not diba. Yun yung sinasabi ko na if pwede.

Parang intersection lang yan na may stop light or contnious white or orange or yellow line. Bawal pa din ba dumaan kung mag-isa ka lang?

Again ha i don't spouse going to the sidewalk using a motorbike unless nga puwede. Okay.

ang bawal ay bawal meron man tao o wala. wag na ipag pilitan ang maling gawain. next na sasabihin eh iisa lang naman tao at maluwag naman or sasalubong sa kabilang lane at sasabihin eh maluwag naman ang lane bakit di umurong mga sasakyan na sasalubungin ko.

Konting OT sir TS

Ok naman Sir *monty walang problema. I'm on the heavy side pero kaya pa rin. Malaking tulong since you have manual shifting so you can really maximize the torque of the Vespa. There are inclines especially sa city proper na I have to stay on first gear but other than that, kayang kaya. Nasa timpla lang ng kambyo

Sounds good, Remzam. Thanks!
