How much should I negotiate for this 2002 Honda VTX 1800

Today I am invited by the owners to discuss the last price for this bike.

Sa first visit ko it's more on getting to know the owner and the history of the bike. It's imported from USA with complete BOC papers. May LTO registration na din pero expired na since it's last renewal in 2007.

Na tambay na siya for a year because of health reasons and old age ng owner.

Sa second visit ko I tried to test drive the unit pero may problema ata sa clutch kasi nag s-stall upon changing to 1st gear.

Today papa ayusin nila to a home service mechanic and I'll come over for a final negotiation. Any advice?

Is this the (discontinued) Yamaha Tricity? Why was it discontinued?

Initially, ito sana yung bibilhin kong motor for my wife but I found out that it was already discontinued.

Sa mga naka-try na nito, how was the handling? Kumusta yung ganitong tatlong gulong sa corners?

Curious ako why this was discontinued.

(Newbie sa manual) Downshifting questions

Previous rider po ako at scooter ang dati kong gamit. Now nag-upgrade ako to a manual motorcycle. It would be great if masagot niyo po yung iilang tanong ko po regarding downshifts and riding in manual in general.

  • Nakikita ko sa YT na need daw mag rev match to downshift. Tho pinapractice ko siya some say hindi naman daw necessary? Lalo na kung city/commute lang naman at hindi resing-resing. May impact ba ito sa longevity ng clutch lining ko?

  • Regarding downshifting din pala, okay lang ba na slightly slow ang release ko ng clutch vs sa nakikita ko sa yt na mabilisan? I still try to match the rpm bago bitawan ang clutch pero medyo gradual lang pagrelease.

  • Old habit sa pagddrive ngnscooter: May instances na gusto ko magslowdown at napipiga ko ang clutch then pag nabibitawan ko na sumisigaw motor ko. Masisira ba lining or gearbox ng motor ko?

Thank you po sa pagsasagot

So how does the 400cc rule on expressways work exactly?

So we all know that 400cc is the bare minimum for motorcycle displacement so that they would be allowed to ride in expressways.

However, I came across comments of people claiming that their Duke 390s were being allowed in places like Skyway or NLEX.

What is the criteria to meet 400cc, really? I want my first bike to be expressway legal and the Scrambler 400X and Speed 400 are one of my choices.

Recommended gear for beginner rider

As a soon to be new rider, looking at motorcycle gear and gadgets are overwhelming.

Just a quick background, the bike is not expressway approved and will mostly be riding within Metro Manila but probably some out of city trips once feeling more confident. While yes there are a lot of videos and articles online heck even a simple GPT can answer this but want real people answers.

Do you recommend a particular brand or protective gear(Helmet(thats goods for people wearing eyeglasses), gloves, boots, pants) that doesn't break the bank but does the job right or more?

Then how about the fancy gadgets like Smart riding system vs phones , Blind Spot Detection, Tirepressure monitoring systems, intercoms. Which ones are actually useful not just hype or wow cool factor.

First time kong gumamit ng motor

Dahil graduation ko, binilhan pala ako ni papa ng motor. Wala sa plano ko magka motor, kaya wala talaga akong kahit anong idea tungkol dito. Any tips para sa mga taong 0 idea sa pagmo-motor? Sinubukan ko na siya isang beses pa lang at sobrang ibang iba ng feeling kumpara sa bike. Kapag nakaupo na ako sa motor, feeling ko sobrang bigat. Nakakatakot tuloy pumiga kasi feeling ko parang di ako makakapag stop dahil sa bigat. Sa gear shifting din, palagi lang akong naka stay sa 1 or 2. Minsan kapag gusto ko mag gear shift, di ko maapakan yung pang shift up and down kaya kinakapa kapa ko pa. Any tips please? Thank you.

Thoughts on the zx4rr / zx6r

Planning to buy a new bike, 4rr owners, what are your thoughts on this bike on how does this compare to the 6R? Will be purchasing this bike as a:
exciting sunday bike
practice track bike
a daily every now and then.

For context we have an RSV4, ZX10R, Tracer 900 and a Ninja 650. Personally have been using the 650 as a daily to and from work. Thought about using both litre bikes for track use but I want to start on something small and nimble to really master the basics. I feel like if i use those litre bikes on the track, i migjt crash since im still working on my throttle control and trail braking. Also considering the 6R since konti nalang price difference nila eh but would a 600 super sport still be viable as daily? Also looked at the rs660 kaso aprilia eh mahirap parts. Grabe din tech ng aprilia i feel like it would just cover up my short comings kaya baka di rin ako mag improve. Looked at the cb600RR din but kahit maganda i couldn’t justify that price tag. Baka din may ma recommend kayo na bike that could suit my needs.

Thank you for your thoughts

Filing police report for insurance (original content)

So this morning 5:30 naka bunggo ako ng ebike habang tumatawid siya sa pedestrian. I admit na ako yung nasa mali. So ang ginawa kong settlement sa nabunggo ko:

- Sinagot ko yung hospital bill + xray niya

- Isang buwang sahod niya dahil hindi siya makaka work sa injuries

Nag ka pirmahan kami ng settlement and agreement sa barangay.

Ngayon may comprehensive insurance kasi yung motor ko and nag reach out ako sa live chat ng standard insurance kung sapat na ba yung barangay settlement to try to file a claim and hanap nila ay police report. Ngayon advisable ba nag mag file pa ako ng claim at kumuha ng police report? ang iniisip ko kasi baka maaabala ko ulit yung third party involve sa pag kuha ng police report. Is it possible ba na dalhin ko yung police report and ako lumapit sa nabunggo ko para mag pa pirma ng police report? Or is it advisble na i-shoulder ko na lang yung cost para repair ng motor?

ZERO KNOWLEDGE ABT UPGRADES BUT HELP A BOY OUT

Hi mga boss! Meet Juancho, my Mio Gear. Bought him last Feb (ata?) , and so far sobrang goods naman kami.

Natatawa lang ako kasi in 23 years of living, never akong naging interesado sa motor. Wala rin kasi akong tatay na magtuturo or mang-iimpluwensya sakin tungkol dito lol. Pero ngayon gets ko na yung mga kuya na nagsasabing wag mong titigan motor mo habang nagkakape ka sa umaga kasi bigla kang mapapaisip ng “parang may kulang” 😭

Kaso eto problema: wala talaga akong alam sa motor HAHAHA. As in change oil at hangin lang confidence ko. Baka na-fall lang ako sa rabbit hole kasi wala rin akong ibang hobby na mapaglaanan ng oras at pera aside sa pagkain.

Pero gusto ko sana alagaan si Juancho nang maayos at unti-unting pagandahin. Yun nga lang, medyo hirap pa humanap ng trusted na mekaniko kasi baka mabudol ako dahil obvious namang baguhan ako 😩

Mga boss, ano marerecommend niyong beginner-friendly upgrades/mods for Mio Gear? Yung practical muna sana bago pormahan. Pang daily lang din naman ako and chill ride lang. Simple na upgr pero kita maman yung difference. Hehe.

PATULONG: Is batch processing of OR/CR allowed?

First time buyer kami.

Bumili kami ng Honda Click V4 (for work ng kapatid ko) last June 19 sa local dealer namin. Before namin binili, nag ask kami kung ilang araw/linggo bago ma-process ang OR/CR ng motor namin and sinabi ng saleslady nila na 2 to 3 months daw (dahil by batch daw nila pinoprocess). Naging skeptical kami kung bakit ganun katagal pero since need gamitin for work, binili nalang namin.

Pag uwi ko, nag search agad ako kung ilang araw/linggo talaga at laking gulat ko na 7-11 days lang pala dapat (according sa memorandum ng LTO). Bukas, plano namin puntahan ulit ang dealer and ask if may transmittal ba sila na patunay na prinocess na nila ang OR/CR namin pero baka sabihin ulit samin na by batch ang pag process.

Allowed ba ang batch processing ng OR/CR? Ano pwede namin sabihin?

Fuel Consumption - Honda Click 125 V3

Not an aggressive throttle habit (65-80kph)

Mixed of City Driving + Highway

Full Tank Method (264km for 5 Liters)

Rider + Obr Weight (105kg)

Thru gauge: 52.5km/L

All Stock (33k ODO unit)

I believe may mga iilan din na mas matipid kay Click sa 125 scooter category.

Pero in terms of power output, top speed and gas consumption isa din talaga sya sa matipid na 125cc category. Uso nga lang dragging sakanya, hindi torqy at marami ka nga lang makikitang kamukha mo na user ng unit na ito.

Sinubukan ko pa dati (40-60kph) lang (solo ride) akala mo nag EconoRun pumalo ng 55-60 km/L 😂

Brake disc replacement concern

Hi. I just changed my brake disc to a bigger one. Afair galing sya sa link ni Sir Mel. Mukang ok naman, pasok sya pati bracket and all. Nag adjust lang ng konti with the hose pero pasok pa din naman. Now, question ko lang, pansin ko kasi humina yung braking ko sa new disc (harap). Need lang ba nya ng break in or nakadepende sa material o brand ng brake disc yung braking power?
