[piscesboy]

^

ayaw mo ng ganito sir?
Honda CBR150
150k presyo.

[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.

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.

Yup, sobrang panget ng CBR. It looks odd and looks like its cheaply made. Also the perfromance is not that significant to the old one. You'd be better of with a Ninja 250R

Wow that's one awesome looking bike! Sana kasing price yan ng FZ16.

I've been contemplating on buying an FZ16 cause of its looks. Pogi kasi. I just sold my bikes din eh, a 09 GSXR 750, Suzuki DR400 and a Raider 150. I don't use them that often cause sobrang init sa pinas. Naiwan nalang dito sa house is a scooter, a mio amore and a full race KTM 450.

Yun much better kug ninja 250 ka na lang. Same price yan afaik ng FZ16. Nasa 120 yan pero 200cc kasi, fz16 is about P116K-P120K afaik. Ayaw ko lang sa FZ16 eh hindi pa disc brake sa rear. Yun ay sana 4-valves na din man lang.

But FZ16 is really pogi, macho and futuristic looking. Panalo talaga kesa CBR 150 na overpriced at ambigat dalhin.

[SiRbossR]

Yun din prob sa FZ16, not yet disc brake sa rear and a 2-valve engine parin. I really like it, it looks like a Ducati Monster. Corny nung CBR, mas mabilis pa Raider150.

ok na ok talaga Ninja 250, super fast for a 250! in fact, 250cc king siya sa UK diba?

[Noel Salisipan]

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...

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:

[timrev]

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.)

[SiRbossR]

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