underbone or scooter?

**baludoy** · July 11th, 2006 05:43 PM

which do you prefer for riding on major thoroughfares, underbone bikes (100-150cc) or scooters (100-150cc)?

and is it safe to ride even during the wee hours of the morning nowadays (from work or what have yous)?

pasensiya na sa tanong mga katoto

bro Baludoy.underbone ka na lang dami pa pwede bihisan para i porma

depende din sa budget di ba mas mura na lang mga scooter ngayon compare sa UB

**1D4LV** · July 11th, 2006 05:56 PM

imho. scooter ako. lalo na yung mga big-bodied scooters....

European Scooter pa rin ako. Preferably Piaggio Vespa.

Pros
1. Prestige and ageless Style.
2. Hindi ka magpupulot ng plastic kapag sumemplang ka dahil puro bakal. Mabigat nga lang.
3. Matibay at may value. Ganun pa rin ang itsura after 10 years or more. Pintura lang yan.
4. May lalagyan ng spare tire.
5. Hindi ka mukhang messenger pero mukhang pizza delivery boy lang daw.
6. Etc.

Cons.
1.

kung nagtitipid ka sa gas underbone ka! mas mura ang underbone kesa scoot. mas comportable ang scoot. mas ok nga lang sa trapik ang underbone. mura ang underbone.

underbone for fuel economy and zipping thru dead traffic, scooter for comfort just twist and go .... wee hour is just ok just be alert for speeding co motorist and bad element.. drive as cagers do... happy haunting

1. Baka mapagkamalan kang Bumbay! Dami nyan sa India e.

I prefer a maxi-scooter like Honda Silverwing600/Yamaha T-Max600 or Suzuki Burgman600cc...Comfortable pa ang backrider mo.

**baludoy** · July 12th, 2006 03:45 PM

^600cc scoots? i think thats too much for me

bro boeing: totoo bang mas sirain ang underbone kapag marami ng modifications?

so by and large safe mag motor ng dyes oras ng gabi. wala namang masydong himala nangyayari? especially sa mga pauwi galing night shift?

badsekktor: malaki pala difference ng gas consumption ng scoots and UB (given the same cc)?

**mazdamazda** · July 12th, 2006 03:52 PM

just curious... ano bang "modifications" na useful ang pwede gawin sa underbone?

i've seen a lot of underbones that are lowered... neon lights... fart mufflers... narrower handle bars... etc...

Kaya ayaw ko ng UB. Beinte pesos isang tumpok sa kalye. Ang dami mong kamukha ng ride! Mas matagal pa sa checkpoint kasi tamang hinala lagi ang mga pulis baka nakaw.

sa dami ng namamatay ngayon sa motorcycles, sir, you might wanna save up a few more and just get a 2nd hand car like Toyota Corolla 92 (one of the best toyotas ever). Sa motor kasi masagi ka lang, 90% probability na fatal.

di naman masyado malaki difference. siguro around 5 - 7 km/liter difference between a scoot and an underbone pag same displacement. factor dito yun transmission. ang scoot kasi twist and go while UBs have gears whether AC or HC saka scoots have their peak torque at higher rpms compared to UB's na lower rpms ang peak torque nila

not everybody could afford a 2nd hand car saka gaano naman ka-reliable ang 2nd hand car compared to a brand new bike.I mean yun difference ng brand new bike is way far from the price of a 2nd reliable car. Ang factor kasi na tinitignan ng mga bumibili ng mga motor is mobility plus practicality. mas mura magmotor compared to taking the public transpo. Isipin nyo na lang na nakailan taas na ng pamasahe etc pero ang sweldo di pa rin tumataas... anyway.... kung ako ang tatanungin eh kung kaya mo na rin lang bumili ng apat na gulong at kaya mong i-mentain eh siguro mag 4 na gulong ka na lang. mas marami ka maisasakay sa 4 na gulong at di ka pa mababasa ng ulan pero kung motor lang ang kaya mo eh bili ka ng gears and ride safe!

Yup... mas ok pa din ang scooter... nagtataka lang ako bakit yung iba tinatanggal yung panels ng scooter nila.

**Horsepower** · July 12th, 2006 04:30 PM

Yes, i agree but unfortunately, kahit gaano ka kaingat, di mo naman kontrolado yung nasa paligid. Lalo na yng trucks and buses. Nakakaawa talaga yung mga naaaksidente.

Same here. Just yesterday, may nakita akong naka-Vespa, palabas ng parking ng Robinsons Galleria. Ganda pa rin talaga ng retro style, very mod. :D

**mazdamazda** · July 12th, 2006 04:53 PM

Hindi ba may mga nagbebenta rin ng surplus big bikes? Alam ko mura lang din yun ha...

Vespa ka na rin! Akala ko dati baduy yun pero nung nakahawak na ako hindi na bumalik sa Japanese. Right now my PX is currently in body repair and paint job. My officemate and I are currently into a Lambretta restoration. Grabe ang mahal ng parts! Ultimo turnilyo libo ang usapan.

**baludoy** · July 12th, 2006 05:07 PM

di ko ata kaya yung mga big bike. parang sobrang bigat bro eh

wala naman problema yung access sa auto, kasi i have one naman at my disposal. it's just ever since i was a kid, i've always wanted to own a bike. like someone once said to me, it's the closest thing to flying ( 'wag lang yung palipad na aksidente)

it's just right now, i think it's practical to own one plus ang dami ng pagpipilian mo ngayon sa market. i mean its a friggin' buyer's market nowadays !

yun nga lang i still need to convince myself if its really worth it. to buy onei mean. kasi nga 'di naman siya maliit na halaga din. tsaka yung safety issues medyo doon ako kabado. aside from the danger your fellow motorists present, i'm thinking more of the criminal elements around you during the "alanganin" time of the night/morning.

isa pang tanong mga katoto, masmabigat ang motor/scoot, totoo bang mas safe?

**Horsepower** · July 12th, 2006 05:25 PM

Maybe it is, kasi puro UBs and Scoots ang 99% naaaksidente (never saw an SBK na naaksidente yet so 99%).

Gusto ko rin magka-MC, yung Aprilia RSV 1000R :D
