anyone can provide me infos about ducati monster? price? tska anu ang advisable na motorcycle particularly ducati na advisable gamitin sa province? gsto ko ung easy to ride lang..comfortable riding position. and a very very good engine sound. un bang kht ilang meters pa, dinig na dinig m pa ung music produced ng engine.. tnx

looks like you're getting a motorcycle just for the appearance or "pogi points". hehe..

 

advice lang.. ducati in the provinces? I can't imagine riding a ducati through a GRAVEL DIRT ROAD or sungkaan road. better get the 250 cc big bikes if gusto mo maiba and maporma pa rin ang dating.

hind naman dirt and gravel.. cemented naman..pero cympre province ang setting pero city ung place.. pag 250cc ba malaks din ang tunog? anu ung mga recomended m na 250cc big bikes na ok? btw, ung china na z200/z250 ay hnd malaks tunog? porma lng?

Ducatis are very nice bikes, but it's rather impractical to use them on the provinces unless you do go to manila often. italian bikes and cars have a particular habit to break down unexpectedly. It comes with the ownership and passion that one must have.

 

2nd hand Ducati monsters from year 2000 may cost @ 300k at Access Plus.

 

Maintenance? Change oil every 5000km = @7.5k for the set.

 

You can't just buy an aftermarket piece of equipment meant for a jap bike and install it on a Ducati.

 

Better go for any japanese bike for the provinces, better, get a Ducati and leave it at home.

 

For when Petrol runs out, and my grandkids asked me what bike i used to ride, I'll proudly say "I rode a Ducati!"

[yellowferoza]

Sir John, if you're really considering a take-you-anywhere bike, I'd highly suggest get a 400cc honda s4. Very reliable, and parts are abundant. Seating is comfortable. price would range from 100-160k for the non vtec models also depending on condition. Also, you can zoom past cars on the NLEX.

 

If you're going to buy an UB, it'll be more practical, but from the provinces to manila and back on a UB? Hmmmm, but some people actually do it.

 

If you have cash, why not flaunt it. It you can buy a BMW320i, would you also consider a KIA Picanto? Its a matter of preference, style, and buying power.

 

Happy hunting!

If i where you andrean48 go and check that forum.. stick to the Club/Groups & technical forum thread and sa Trading Section dami... wag ka punta sa General Interest and Motorcycle Rights & Legal... hahaha.. daming matatalinong tao dun...

di naman sa galit bro... nawalan lang ng gana.. before BOW na BOW ako sa kanila.. kasama pa nga ako sa nagrally regarding sa STICKER on HELMET eh... ipinaglalaban ang DESKRIMINASYON sa mga naka MC.. tapos sila din pala mahilig magDescriminate.... pag ikaw nakaSANDALS or TSINELAS... babansagan ka nila na PASAWAY... kahit na matino ka magmaneho... at meron dun nag-claim na traffic violation daw ito.. well, its good na dapat lahat me proper gears... for SAFETY.. pero judging a RIDER na PASAWAY dahil sa suot na ito.. eh kahangalan...

 

Its for your own safety bro, why wear sandals instead of shoes? Nagmamadali? Tina-tamad mag suot?

 

When I visited POC (Philippine Orthopedic Center) in Banawe, Q.C., there was this guy who had his 4th and 5th toes amputated because he hit his right foot on a big rock, eh lowered pa naman daw bike niya. Get the point po?

 

Mostly bikers here in our country is uneducated. Imagine, for only 3.5k as downpayment and @ 2.5k monthly, one can own a MC!!! Kahit yung yosi vendor sa tapat namin may SYM Magic eh.

I used mostly, not all.

 

Have you seen a bike riding fellow wearing sando, shorts, and slippers on a major thoroughfare? I've seen many along Shaw blvd, Kalayaan ave, Quezon ave, Commonwealth, etc... Would you do the same?

Talaga 100-160k lang yung Honda S4?

 

Sana makakakuha ng ganon? 2nd hand ba yon???

 

Thanks.

yup, mga project big one... try looking at the ads section of MCP or buy n sell magazine. medyo mura ngayon bumili ng bikes dahil off season because of the rains.

 

got a hyper vtec here tho..asking price is 230k

your right yellowferoza, ducati monster can shell you out a minimum of 200k++ for a 98 duc 400 monster and up to 700++ for a 2007 model duc s4rs(900cc). for the provinces??? hmm bakit hindi.. but please keep in mind that you have to maintain the bike and yes tama po si yelloferoza that u will spend 3-10k per period including tune-up,change oil, etc. (may chain pa yan,bearings, clutch disk that can go as high as 7k per set). Yes, super 4's are now so in demand bec of reliabilty and easy to use and maintain.. it can go to a 100k to newer model for 500k (super 4 big1, type s, type r, spec 1,2,3 nd hyper vtecs.)

About the sounds of motorstar Z200/Z250 wag mo ng asahang tutunog sya like "big bikes" bec it only have 1 cylinder and most big bike have 4 cylinders so malaking deperensya. Pero in terms of maintenance and looks ok na motorstar tipid sa gas and easy to modify and maintain. But, if your a begginer with bikes/big bikes stick to smaller displacements first then upgrade if you have enough experience para di nman masayang bike pag na spill. But still you have all the decision if you are going to buy a 400cc up bike. Always remember to be safe and drive defensively and offensively. Hope this helps. Ride Safe and Happy hunting.

guys, pahingi nga ng advice or tips.

 

who among you have tried going up to baguio on your bikes? I have already attempted and succeeded in riding my XRM 110 up and down baguio but I still need help. sanay ako sa kotse pagakyat at baba ng baguio.

 

problem ko ay sa curves. saan ba ako pwepwesto on a two-way highway specifically sa curves? malakas ang hatak ng UB xrm ko sa paakyat but problem ko lang talaga sa curves. dito ko nakita (and naramdaman) ang advantage ng motor in terms of acceleration as compared to automobiles. feeling ko kasi nasasayang ang acceleration ko because of my slow curve turns.

[andrean48]

In terms of classic Mechanics of force, mas ok mag curve sa outer curve because of the Centripetal force.

 

Pero practically speaking, nasa taas ka ng bangin, if I were you I would go for the smaller curve which is away from the heights. Yup masasayang talaga ang hatak mo don pero safer yon.

 

 

Ang mura naman ng S4 kung 100k-160k lang sya. Better buy a 400cc kesa yung CBR 150 na 140k.

Very well said sir!

If engine sound and 'porma' is on your priority list, I would suggest of not gettiing an UB. Though it is the most practical nowadays; easy maintenance, low gas consumption, reliability, etc...

 

Getting a jap 250 or higher will meet your expectations, and maybe surpass them. But expect to pay 4X in maintenance.

 

Try browsing at the MCP classifieds http://motorcyclephilippines.com/classifieds

 

Maybe a Honda Steed 400 or a Yamaha Shadow 400 would suit you. V-twin engine, open pipes, cruiser style, easy handling, and has a ticket to pass the highways.

 

Get a bike that will suit your needs. Consider also the image you would like to project.

Honestly I've not tried going up to baguio on a bike.

 

First thing is -STAY ON YOUR LANE

 

If you have watched bike racing, they tilt their bikes towards the curve they're attacking because bikes cannot take turns straight up will engaging a curve. When a curve approaches, take the outside lane (on your lane, and not occupying the other) and go to the inside of the apex, then exit towards the outside of the curve. This takes lots of practice. And I'm not suggesting that you make the streets your personal racetrack.

 

It is highly suggested that you upgrade your stock tires to 'branded' ones like (in XRMs case) Dunlop TT/TL 900s, Bridgstone, Pirelli, etc as it will provide more traction than studded stock tires.

 

Note also that you might overshoot a curve and fall on the cliff! This is caused by improper or excessive speed going into the curve.

 

Ok na yung mabagal for me. It is the joy of riding 2 wheels that makes me get the bike keys.

 

Wear proper gear!

oh god buti na lang tinanong ko yan. ang ginagawa ko pala ay reverse, taking the inside lane and then exiting the curve via the outside of the apex. I was trying to imagine your description and what I was doing when in a curve. now that I think about it, oo nga ano most likely akong titilapon sa ginagawa ko. hmm.. better change my tires then (naka dunlop 80-80 ako).

 

thanks for this :thumbsupsmiley:

and attacking the curve from the inside will make you more vulnerable to crash head-on with an incoming vehicle from the opposite side when exiting the curve.

 

practice sa marilaque dude...

when I went up baguio ang ginagawa ko kasi ay to rev the motor high during the straight-ways kaya ang tendency ng pagpasok ng curve ay sa inside because entry ko is in a straight line. mali pala. hmm.. malakas ang brakes ng motorcycle but delikado ang engine brake sa motorcycle because parang pinapako ako sa daan, instant stop kumbaga. i guess almost the same principle sa car wherein you should climb the mountain in low gear. problem ko lang talaga is those darn curves.. takot kasi ako to lean my bike to compensate for the inertia.

 

sa may pugo-rosario na lang ako magpractice ng curves, meron dun three curves which are almost 360 degrees ang ikot. I'm in the provinces right now, masyadong malayo ang marilaque dyan sa manila eh.

 

pinakamalayong nabyahe ko so far ay manila to ilocos via McArthur Highway. dyahe, ang pangit ng riding conditions sa mcarthur highway, pinakamagandang daan ay sa ilocos

 

nga pala, I found that the reflectors on the road is very hazardous for riders. tindi ng timing and concentration just to avoid it. dyan sa manila bihira ang mga eto but here sa province rampant siya.

 

just one of the differences when riding in the provinces as compared to riding in manila
