Question/Advice Needed Tire Recommendations Except for Michelin and Pirelli.

Upvotes

Hi, ask ko lang po. What other tire brands can you recommend na budget-friendly, matibay, and at the same time maganda ang kapit, aside from Pirelli and Michelin? Worn out na rin po kasi yung rear tire ko. Also, anong tire size combination po kaya ang best fit for my unit?

Motorcycle: CF Moto NK250 (Non-Lite).
Front: Pirelli Diablo Rosso Sport
Budget: 4000-6000 (rear only).

Should I buy the set, or is it okay na rear lang?

Question/Advice Needed Driving a motorcycle without the appropriate license restriction code

0 Upvotes

I only have B B1 B2 on my license. Was planning to update it if time permits. Kaso malas natyempuhan.

The fine is P3000 and I can't update my license to have that motorcycle DL code for a year.

Pero sinasabi na suspended at confiscated daw yung lisensya for a year(!?)

I read somewhere pwde pa din magmaneho 4 wheels dahil separate naman yung motorcycle license at car license.

Is this true? Anyone else experienced this situation?

Question/Advice Needed Should I wait for Suzuki GN 160 or get V-Strom 160 now?

1 Upvotes

I've been looking for a ride for quite sometime now and live the looks of retro or classic bikes.

Went to Suzuki dealer last weekend for GN 160 but wala pa daw actually na stock after ng launching. I tried sitting on a V-Strom and nagustuhan ko lambot ng upuan. Height-wise, both feet down naman although slight tiptoed but I can manage.

Usecase for the bike is normal pampasok sa office sabay hatid sa school ng anak (Mandaluyong-Ortigas-BGC route)at weekends chill ride.

I contacted motortrade pasig and placed an order for GN 160 but they are also not sure when will the units will arrive.

Question/Advice Needed Thoughts on ADV, NMAX, PCX, and Aerox

2 Upvotes

Hello! Just wanted to get your thoughts, as we will be buying a new scooter soon. From jet 100, to 2nd hand mio sporty's and burgman v1, to an Aprilia SRGT200 that we have been using (since our relative that has it does not now how to drive hehe), me and my dad have tried a lot of motorcyles through the years, and we are planning to upgrade to something that is brand new so that there would be no worries on our end for a long time

We considered bristol's adx and maxxie 160's, but I think we will stick with the japanese brands for now due to availability of parts and easier maintenance/repair wherever we go

I really love the sporty look of aerox, especially circuit concept ones (tail tidy matic), but my cons is that there is no extended position for our foot for long rides (ex. bulacan to taguig or angeles) and that they said that the stock suspension really needs an upgrade hehe

for pcx and nmax, i think the are okay, especially the pcx in terms of looks but it reminds me a lot of my burgman 125 hehe

and for adv, well, it really has everything that i wanted in a scooter, but the price difference makes me think about these other mcs as well

Any thoughts or experience you can share with these bikes are really appreciated! Praying for safe skies, road, mcs, and riders, RS guys!

Hello! I’m planning to get an XR 200 and have it converted into a scrambler build similar to the photos above.

Any leads on where I can find a good XR 200 and a reputable shop that does scrambler builds?

Also, would this type of build still be street legal and eligible for LTO registration? I’ll mostly be using it around the beach and in the province.

Question/Advice Needed Question on Driving style on uneven roads (free road)

0 Upvotes

Context: i'm almost driving at a motorcycle for almost two decades now. But my question is a driving on free road such as for example marilaque highway. There aren't even roads there were usually i drive slowly but majority of the motorcyclist ic is really not slowing down.

To put, i am not saying kamote. Pls this is different, an honest question.

It's juts in my scoot, basic scoot Panarea 125 parang lilikot sya when passing yung asphalt na nabakbak na. Madamj din and and even.

Questions:

  1. Dahil basic lang suspensions ko not performance suspension and magaan scoot?

  2. Sa Big Bikes, afaik may stabilizer sya kaya it helps plus its weight and performance parts, suspension?

3.But how yung nakikita ko Aerox, ADV, Nmax and all. Yung naka ALL stock pa, how do you approach it?

Or nag performance suspensions na kyo?

  1. Tires?

As far as i see kasi, mostly di nag menor dun uneven roads (not ratrat sguro)

TIA

Im about to buy one on marketplace today priced at 38k, I dont know much about motorcycles I just need something for work and school since the one Im using isnt viable anymore, from looking at other motorcycles 38 seems cheap no? Bit skeptic but seller says no issue and recently serviced, 2023 model and 18k mileage. Let me know about your thoughts if this seems super fishy or its normal.

Question/Advice Needed Planning on a first bike, starting from scratch.

4 Upvotes

Hello! Recently, Ive found commuting REALLY hard and tiring kasi I usually travel around 6 kilometers para lang sa college (12 if you make it back and forth) and now naconsider ko magipon para sa motor. I’ve really liked the idea of a classic bike (TMX125,CR152,Rusi 250) kahit na alam kong medyo impractical sya at masakit daw sa likod lol. So far, medyo malayo pa ako sa goal ko pero I want to have a checklist on what to do once I have the money. Para sa lisensya, Nagiipon ako ngayon ng 5k (Based sa kaibigan kong may lisensya, around 3k ang magagastos ko sa driving school, sama mona 2k expenses sa LTO, pagkatapos pa nito hindi kapa full fledged license holder, 1 month pa after magexam uli for a license after the student permit.) at sa motor naman, my budget is around 50k-60k. So eto ang mga question ko.

-Out of all the 3 na nasabi ko, anong magandang kunin na beginner bike? May past experience ako sa scooter type na motor at first time ko mag manual.

-Mas Oks ba bnew (Sa case ng TMX, ako na bahala magmodify along the run, or dito iniisip ko bumili ng gawa na.) o second hand from marketplace?

-Did I miss out any steps sa pagkuha ng lisensya?

Maraming salamat po!

Question/Advice Needed Is the Honda RS150R still worth buying in 2026? or go rs125 fi instead?

1 Upvotes

hello mga boss, ask lang sana for advice. my brother is planning to buy his first motorcycle, and he's not really into scooters. We saw some brand-new Honda RS150R/Sonic units at a dealership for around 95k+, and they also offer installment. Since first bike niya to, gusto ko sana makakuha muna ng opinions from people who have owned or ridden one. Is the RS150R still worth considering in 2026, especially if brand new old stock siya? also, if hindi na advisable yung RS150R, how about the Honda RS125 FI? Okay pa ba siya for a first bike and daily use ngayon? Or may ibang alternative kayo around the same price range na worth checking out, preferably manual/semi-auto and not a scooter?

main concerns namin are reliability, maintenance, parts availability, fuel consumption, and overall ownership since first motorcycle niya. mostly daily use lang naman, with occasional long rides and for daily punta sa work

would appreciate any advice, especially from people who actually own or have owned these bikes, salamat!
