well moto guzzi is like owning a benz in two wheels

try a harley vrod or triumph rocket,they are the best for me if your looking for a touring bike

and if you want japanese try the honda shadow,x11,x4,cb1000 if yamaha raider,mt 01,mt 03.

 

for high budgeted purchase i will choose vrod

and if japs i'll go for cb1000 or mt03

 

 

I agree that a V-Rod has some Chutzpah but the riding position with your front legs extended to pegs that go all the way to the front of the bike… what is that? Have you ever tried riding like that on Manila's streets? Hit a pot hole? That can break your back.

 

Well, I signed the papers on the Guzzi today. A 2004 1100cc California Stone Metal with 9,000 kms on it and full service records, with the chrome and black tank, Guzzi leather panniers, and a pair of godawfully loud but sweet sounding pipes. They sound like a Harley without mufflers and but without the slap. I rode it home for lunch and I swear every neighbor's dog was either barking in anger or howling in pain at the sound of those pipes.

 

Oh, and my wife has decided she doesn't want to speak to me for a while… probably thinks I'll be riding this thing more than her.

O sa korte ny wet-pu mo :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Pag mataba ka syempre masakit sa pwet pag manipis yun saddle. Yun Madass ko sarap gamitin pero ang sakit sa pantog pag matagal ka nakasakay. Which is why I hate bicycles--apart from the fact that they don't have a motor. Hirap talaga maging kilabot ng timbangan.

hehe.. you got that right. months ago I was looking at bikes (as opposed to underbones) and had a chance to test out a 250 honda (not sure what model). it felt awkward for me to ride it in a sort of leaning forward position; and I couldn't picture myself going through city streets on a big machine.

 

I settled on a scooter because it made my hiney comfy

well all moto guzzi are great bikes,they are all for great ride and comfort.

maybe when i get back to manila this summer we can ride along i still got my old hornet there in QC

this year in moto gp i think it will be a very tight race as valentino setting the pace and stoner defending his world title,but watch out for the rookie lorenzo as he tops some practice session and dont forget hayden the former motogp world champ as he takes on the new rc212v to the test.

Here it is. I am not color-blind. I made a mistake describing the tank as chrome and black. chrome and red pala.

Hi Guys,

 

I have been canvassing for a shop to have my scooter repainted. I have an epicuro clone "Bigboy" scooter na masyadong marami ng gasgas! Meron bang dyan na kayang ibigay ng 2k lang sana or much lower pa? I'm from Parañaque lang pala.

 

Thanks in advance!

masters, ang cbr150 ba and r125 kahit single cylinder lang ay malakas din ba ang tunog? un bang malayo pa lang ang ganda ng pakingan ng tunog ng makina. o para lang under ang sound nito? thanks

[MGyver]

'tunog underbone' rin sila... i believe you can hear the strong pleasing sound only from 250cc and above bikes... though, some underbone riders attach a gadget (speaker) to achieve big bike sounds

Gusto mo malakas ang tunog? Ito malakas and tunog! 1100 cc V twin pina-open pipe ko ngayon kung tumunog daig pa ang Harley. Kaya lang nireklamo na ako sa homeowners association kasi kahit naka idle lang dinig hanggang dalawang kanto. Palagay magsasawa din ako sa tunog tapos ibabalik ko yun stock na mga pipe. In the meantime, enjoy!
