Which is better for a beginner motorcycle? Honda click125 or honda airblade? Which is more practical? For city use only. Thank you for the response.

I suggest Yamaha Aerox. I bought Yamaha Mio i125S and nagsisisi ako dahil di ko pa pinush yung Aerox. Sobrang tagtag ng Mio i 125 hehe.

Guys Ano best scooter na 400cc or expressway legal ?

[pjay]

sa mga undecided kung anong motor ang kukunin, ask yourselves these questions first 1.) para saan? saan gagamitin? 2.) budget.

 

kung pang city/daily errands/short rides - definitely 125/150/155cc scooters. cheap to maintain and acquire, cheap insurance, light, easy to lug around, tipid sa gas, madali i-park, madami din pagpipilian - Honda Beat/Click/PCX/Airblade, Yamaha Mio/Aerox/Nmax, etc

 

400cc and above - naked bikes or scooters. pwede sa expressway, practical, relatively easy to use, comfortable, economical, mejo marami din pagpipilian like Kymco S400, Yamaha TMAX, KTM 390, Honda CB650/CB500, Kawasaki Z650, Versys Family, etc.

 

** 600cc+ leisure bikes - sports bikes, bobbers, cafe racers, 900/1000cc bikes, adventure bikes, etc. Not really suggested as  your first bike, has 1 or more disadvantage than you'd like, hassle sa traffic, mabigat, usually mataas seat height (especially sportbikes, some nakeds, adventure bikes), lakas sa gas, mahal insurance, most often than not mga "weekend bikes" mga to. in short, tiis pogi. hehe Examples -Yamaha R6/R1/XSR900/XSR700/MT09/MT10/Bolt, Kawasaki ZX6R/ZX10R/Versys 1000/Ninja 1000/Vulcan, BMW S1000RR/S1000R/S1000XR/F900/GS1250/GS750, Ducati V4/Multistrada/Panigale/Hypermotard, Aprilla Tuono/RSV4/RS660, Honda Fireblade/CBR1000/CB1000/ADV 750/Rebel. These are the usual bikes you see roaming every weekend sa NLEX/SLEX.

 

 

and lastly, kung mag decide kayo mag motor, please do yourselves a favor and get good protective gears - at least helmet and jacket, pero ideally head-to-toe sana.

All my life, di ko nakahiligan mag-motor. NIlampasan ko college and 30's ko ng hindi nahilig sa motor, and samen magbabarkada dito, ako lang walang motor, hahaha. I was fine with that though..

Until recently, siguro a month ago or less, I had this weird vibe. Parang gusto ko matuto mag-motor, kumuha ng license. Currently lurking in FB Marketplace looking for bikes like Yamaha R3/R15 or Honda CBR 150. Haven't pulled the trigger, just found it weird.

 

Could be passing fancy, but then...

Here’s a tip for those that want to get into manual motorcycles.

it’s much easier to operate a higher cc bike than a smaller one because it takes less effort to balance the clutch and throttle. The stop and go traffic is the most difficult part of riding so having less things to worry about will boost your confidence as a rider. Another caveat of learning from a low cc bike -150 and below- is that you won’t be able to appreciate the importance of throttle control since you’ll always be using high revs to make any power. The sweet spot for beginners would be the 400 - 650 segment but whatever you do, do not get a 600.

1200 CC yung sa daddy ko, he's been saying na gamitin ko, fuck, ang bigat bigat and nakakatakot baka masemplang...

I told him to sell his bike then bili siya nung mga YAMAHA na AUTOMATIC na 400-500CC alam ko mayrun na ganun eh..

I have an NMAX v2 kasi kaya sarap na sarap ako dun gamitin,

If i’m not mistaken, BMW scoots are rebadged kymco bikes. Definitely great value for money. Try to look around for 2nd hand models since the resale value of kymcos (or any chinese bike) are awful.

The rusi might be the better option as they have better dealer support and a larger community of riders that can help you out with your ownership experience.
