Interested to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Any suggestions where I can learn?

Best Option is Honda Driving school at Bicutan as they have Controlled environment to teach you & practice riding

I don't know if anyone is still familiar with these. I have  a Yamaha Pasola and Honda tact and Honda Gorilla. Can't get is registered anymore since these are not locally bought

If u can somehow source a honda tact crankcase (and papers) with an intact engine number, you can still get it registered

Ducati multistrada or africa twin?

Good morning! Do you have any idea how much does this cost?

5k to 8k rough estimate

What progression would experts recommend if I want an expressway legal bike as the end state. I'm mid 40's, short (5'4") and obese (120kg) with no motorcycle experience but average mountain bike and bike commuting skills. Plan to enroll at the Honda school. Thinking of starting with a Vespa then upgrading to a Rebel.

My friends started in automatic then switched to manual, 125cc

Ako naman, I started to practice sa Tricycle since I was a kid kaya nasanay kung paano gamitin yung clutch and gas.

 

But I strongly suggest go to driving school muna para magka idea ka din sa mga basics to advance techniques.

Here's my winded suggestion - you have two options: start straight on a manual, or with scooters. Starting with scooters is the steady but more expensive route. Scooters are easier to start on since you'll only be managing throttle, brakes, direction and the traffic around you. It's also easier to maneuver around town and driveways because of its size. Cheap to operate and maintain too. Downside is you will have to learn to use a manual motorcycle at some point, so that's another purchase (or at least another phase in case you can borrow a manual to learn on). You can of course go straight to the Rebel you want, but I can't really recommend doing that. SCOOTER > INTERIM MANUAL > REBEL

The 2nd option is to skip the scooter part, and start on a small manual bike. Starting on a manual is the cheaper, but might have a slower progression option. This heavily depends on how comfortable you are with motorcycles tho. In addition to the things above, you'll also be managing a clutch, a gear lever and the rear brake gets transferred on your right foot. You're literally using all 4 limbs on a manual. If all of that sounds hazy to you, then this option is a no-go. Although, If you have a place to practice (a subdivision or parking lots), or a friend with a manual, this might actually be viable option for you. You just need to build your skills before going out on the public road. MANUAL > REBEL

There are also 400cc+ scooters nowadays. You might want to check those too.

Enrolling in Honda is not a bad idea, you get taught and also will be able to experience both manual and scooter. You might also get a chance to ride a 400cc+ bike there.

Imho, starting with Honda Riding School is the best way.  You are exposed to both automatic scooter and manual motorcycle.  It's best that you inform the Honda Riding school before hand that you want to be proficient in using both types of motorcycle so they can give you additional classes if needed.  Pre-pandemic, we require all of our riders - including experienced ones to enroll at Honda - at company expense (tuition+allownce+salary), and we waited for positive feedback from Honda before accepting them as regular riders.  Although we feel some job applicants abused this privilege, we feel it's worth it in terms of less accidents, and we feel more secure when we pillion ride.

Best to have both, have a scooter for short errands and have a motorcycle for adventure and touring.

Super4

Problem is, wala atang nirelease na latest super4 dito sa pinas. Karamihan sa nakikita kong super4 sa kalsada mga luma na. Talon kana sa CB650R kung gusto mo talaga ng machong tunog ng inline4.

Meron yata store sa Makati sir. Forgot the name. Bnew units, imported yata kaya parang mas mahal pa sya sa Cb650r
