Anyone has an F850 GS? OK ba siya for daily use din?

Bmw F850 GS is a good bike, a little bit tall & top heavy, Good power & linear delivery. the engine is a bit hot on traffic. as for daily commute that really depends on the preference & skill of the rider. i usually ride a Gs R1250 & even on traffic its manageable & Less heat coming from the engine than a F850.

Most probably not. as Rebel 500 is an affordable beginner bike & DCT technology is a bit expensive, Maybe if Honda install a DCT on their 750 maybe they can also install on a Rebel for their Mid size engine category

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.

Are there no other Honda training centers other than that of Taguig? Will the MMDA Motorcycle  Training Academy training be enough to ride a big bike?

I bought a  TVS (Indian Brand) XL 100 Premium 2 years ago. My go to 40-50km ride. If I want to upgrade in the future, I go for a Kawasaki Dominar 400.
