after watching american chopper kanina, ok naman pala scooter,a--kaya naman pala pang malayuan at di naman pala ganun kasagwa tignan pag sinakyan na...knowing na mas malaking tao sila than me..

Di naman mahal ang parts ng yamaha. It's a durable scooter and you can't go wrong with nouvo or Mio 3. I suggest that you get a new Nouvo Z or Mio 3 pero walang mio 3 sa Norkis. Nouvo Z lang meron ang price nya is around 72K while mio 3 is around 83k (gray market kase yan). They shared the same engine 115cc 4-stroke. Kayang mag top speed ng 100 km/h nyan in stock form. Ang pagkakaiba lang nila ay :

NOUVO Z :
- 16 inch ang tires
- hindi flat ang flooring
- mas malaki ito kesa mio

MIO 3
- 14 inch ang tires
- flat flooring
- mas maliit kesa nouvo

For endurance, No problem with both scoot and you can bring and drive this as far as you can. with an average fuel consumption of 40-45 kms per liter.

NOUVO Z is my personal choice.

mio 3 pala yung pinost ko--imported pala yun, iilan lang pa meron kaya mio3 at saan kaya makakakita ng real unit? naseservice ba sa norkis yung mio3?

or nouvo Z nalang ako?

matibay ba naman belt ng mga yun?

magkaroon man ako, siguro stock lights lang naman papalitan/modify ko ng prenium all-weathers,e..

Sa caloocan "tres hermanas" meron sila nyan. Nag se-service din siguro ang Norkis nyan pero me bayad. Batibay sir ang belt nyan, di yan basta-basta bumibigay for at least 10k kms siguro. 900 pesos lang naman ang orig nyan.

Pero madali lang i DIY ang scooter. maski ikaw kaya mo na yan.

Nouvo Z ka na lang. 2 pa ang shocks sa likod nyan unlike Mio na single shocks lang.

para sa tulad ko na first time lng magkamotor aside from oto, ni hindi ako marunong gumamit ng clutch ng motor; kaya ang binili ko nuovo at hindi ako nagkamali ng desisyon. dami ko pinagpiliian pero nuovo binili ko kahit mas mahal. for me lamang nya is: power, looks--looks big and heavy at hindi patpatin gaya ng ibang motor, design, laki ng ubox, laki ng upuan for passengers, quite heavy for stability, design, durability, etc...

isingit ko lang din: anu naman yung suzuki hayate ba yun--kamukha ng nuovo daw.. wala bang pics nung hayate?

boydapa > ilang consumo ng nouvo mo? ilan lang optimal na takbo?

i used to be a mountain biker. and imho, driving a scooter is different from riding a bike.

as a would be 1st time MC driver, aside from getting a scooter, woul be an underbone with automatic clutch or with a hand clutch be easy enough for me to handle..

with an automatic clutch, i think it would be easy, but it would be different from something with a hand clutch.

would a 100cc scoot / underbone carry me around despite the fact i weigh as much as the scoot/underbone itself? or better yet i'll get a 125 or 150cc?

where would you use it bro? as much as possible, get the 150 cc na. halos pareho din naman ang costs, but you would appreciate the additional HP.

what can you suggest i'll get? parang maganda yung yama x1 or sniper...ok din ba ang raider? or just stick to the common wave and xrm nalang...

if you are getting this, magkano budget mo? i would suggest a vespa. very easy to handle and drive.

di ko na tatanung ang quad--kasi parang kotse na din siguro yun i-drive...

salamats...

see my replies above bro.

if you are a beginner bro, i would suggest that you get a lighter one muna which is very easy to drive. don't go the the sports type look first. kaya nga i suggested getting a vespa dahil upright ang driving position, tapos automatic clutch.

and don't forget about safety bro. wear your helmet, and if you can afford it, go for the body vests and knee/leg protectors.

when i made the transition from a mountain bike to a MC, i started muna sa maliliit until may nagkaroon na ako ng confidence.

from a Vespa 125 cc, i got a 400 cc GSX-R which i use in going to work occassionally. now i am thinking of selling my 400 cc to get a 1000 cc.

Yes, a bicycle backround is really a great help…. In my experience, pinara-rampa ko yung bmx ko or even without front wheel for several hundred meters nung teenager ako

then binilan kami ng honda 50cc with auto clutch, kayang kaya, maninibago ka lang sa speed compared sa de pedal ika nga.

nakabili si erpat ng BMW R-50 from actor Dante Rivero in the 70s. ito ang pinanghinayangan naming ng kuya ko dahil kung meron ka pa nito ngayon eh ibang klase! comedian chiquito and eddie garcia ang ilan sa mga meron nito noon..

ang problema lahat ng kaibigan ni erpat (he used to work in Sampaguita Pictures) sa pelikula like si Eddie Garcia na namatay (nasunog ang anak sa mc) ito ang sinabi: “Naku ibenta mo na yan, baka abutan pa ng anak mo yan eh magsisi ka” kaya eto bawal na ang motor sa min…

doble or triple ingat lang pagdating sa mc.

basically, ako lang naman gagamit, ng motor,e.. at pan arounder the corner lang...bibihira japanese scoot sa atin na atleast 100cc, tsaka karamihan ng 50cc scoot walang papel,e..

OT: XTO > ilan consumo at kaya kargahin ng XTO mo? diba pwede naman cladding ng XUV sa XTO?
