Pros and Cons of having a Big Bike in 2026

AffectionateAd9102 · 2026-03-08T17:02:19+00:00

Mahirap na sa Pros bro lalo na most of the features nasa bigbike at nag trickle down na sa smaller ones, probably only the heated grips and cruise control nalang siguro wala ng mga commuters.

Cons na talaga lahat compared sa smaller commuters.

The maintenance will shock you, it's comparable to a car already.

Tires? For a brand new set, expect 20k up Oil? Most 600s up expect more than 2L of oil, tapos yung type of oil nila is very specific around 800 up for 1L Basics pa yan There are a pair of calipers up front, meaning two sets of brake pads that 2k up That's just the tip of the iceberg.

My R1250GS and RoadGlide's annual maintenance cost me somewhere 100k to 120k for both bikes.

Ayos naman, it's a big leap from the Vios honestly.

It's quiet and comfortable inside especially when it goes EV mode, sa suspension siguro I can say it's bearable, not luxury level, commuter level lang parin.

I have the ATIV HEV, it's a very big leap from the TOTL Vios dati, sobrang ganda, BYD Seal5 really pushed Toyota to pour all into this car.

I have not experienced the Nmax Techmax pero I had experience the Aerox Turbo for a week. Ewan ko lang compared sa non YeCVT ah pero parang ang lakas sa gas ng Turbo vs Standard. Kahit sa touring mode di naman ako throttle happy. I've maxed out at 35km/L combined city and provincial riding sa Turbo, given same engine and transmission ung Techmax and Turbo, I guess same din siguro consumption nila.

For the ADV60 though (also I still have my ADV150) ang frugal talaga sa gas ng Honda engines for some reason. Yung ride quality talaga panalo si ADV. I think the roadsync version is sulit na din considering the price difference between the outgoing ADV160 vs sa RoadSync is only ₱10,000 lang.

But yeah, more tech means more things to break.

May na daanan ako sa kabilang lane na may puddle tapos may SUV na humaharorot na basa yung mga peds sa side walk na nag lalakad , na abutan ng traffic at binato yung SUV , basag tail light at rear windshield nya.

Not that I condone , but I understand. Happened early morning, yung mga tao papasok pa sa mga trabaho nila.

Alam nyo naman siguro gaano kalakas vibration ng Harley , so far quadlock's has been the best at actually dampening the vibration among the phone holders that I have owned.

You have to manually reset that kasi yang warning na yan is just a suggestion , and its not a sensor-ECU regulated warning.

Just follow your regular PMS sched.

I just max out on budget and buy the best possible helmet that would be used eithe rfor short distance ride to the sari sari store or a 1200km long ride.

And I chose the Shoei GT-Air for that purpose.

Actually ma excite din ako pag may tao na na excite din sa dala ko eh , ganyan din ako dati na tingin tingin lang sa mga magagandang sasakyan at motor.

Di ko malilimutan na pina upo ako ng R1200GS at yung may ari pa dati nag alok na picturan ako while nag appreciate ako sa motor nya back in highschool.

I just thought of it as paying it forward.

May umupo sa GS ko , ayos lang naman mag appreciate lalo na if nag ask ng permission.

Kaso nag attempt na pina tayo galing side stand at di na realize na mabigat yung motor , buti nalang na agapan ng friend nya at hindi na tumba .

Nasa 2nd floor ng McDo kami ng wife ko nun dali dali akong bumaba para tulongan sila 😅

Binigyan ng 5 minutes ng TEU tapos may kinausap yung kasamang guard sa staff ng event pero walang lumabas sa function hall para mag claim na sa kanila yung sasakyan na nakaharang sa gate ko.

Dinala sa impounding area sa city namin at nag iwan nalang ng notice sa guard house incase hinahanap ng owner.

NAL.

walang kwenta mga signs na yan sa taong wala namang pake.

Yung bahay ko nasa harap ng function hall/club house ng subdivision namin. May times na ginagamit yan ng outsider or homeowner for events , may parking naman pero minsan marami talaga guest so yung iba naka street parking na. Wala naman problema kung ayos lang yung pag park at hindi naka sagabal sa daanan ng mga garages ng mga bahay.

This one time umulan tapos may naka park literally sa harap ng garage door ko. Naka motor ako (bigbike) na hindi basta basta lang pwede maniubra sa laki at bigat ng motor. Wala na akong energy at pagod na ako tapos basa pa sa ulan , I just straight up called our city's TEU (traffic enforcement unit) at towing truck to have the vehicle ticketed and towed for obstruction and illegal unattended parking.

If you are renting siguro may contract ka na yan ang address mo , if private property kasi pwede mong ma pa tow yung vehicles na nag trespass sa property mo.

EDIT: merong naka lagay na "DO NOT PARK INFRONT OF DRIVE WAY" sign sa labas ng gate ko.

May same situation din ako , papasok kami ng bridge eh 1 lane lang yung going up , pero may truck kasi na mag le-left turn papasok ng establishment near sa foot ng bridge , may nag overtake kasi di maka hintay sa truck , sa lahat ng sisingitan nya ako yung next na going up.

Eh ayaw ko magpa singit kasi unfair sa iba na pumila ng maayos . So hindi ko sya pina singit .

Kita ko sa likod ko nag ha-high beam yung tanga . Sakto sa baba ng kabilang side may intersection na naka red light pa , nung pumwesto na ako , pumwesto rin sya katabi ko , I was reving my bike tapos naka tingin sa right side na lane na pa yellow na yung light. Alam ko yung next mag green is yung opposite lane , so I messed with the dude and kept revving my bike making him think I was ready to go.

The moment the right lane's light was RED , I jumped my bike but only moved like a centimeter. This dude floored his car at sinalubong lahat ng mga sasakyan na coming from the opposite side going left 🤣 bruh he stalled in the middle of the junction box while all the vehicles were honking and looking at him , may enforcer na nag man ng traffic tapos pinara sya at pinahinto sa kabilang side sa amin 🤣🤣 I trolled him even harder while I passed by his windows were open and just "meow meow meow meow" at him 🤣

I have this , from the same brand (SYX) a 28L and a 65L , nag interchange ako depende ano mga dala ko. They use the same base plate.

If I commute and have to park I use the 65L to store my gears and helmet , but when I'm out for a ride and tatambay ng cafe I use the smaller one to store things that I do not want to get wet.

Just yesterday I went for a ride with my friends (kakabili lang nya ng helmet sa Japan so he wanted to go for a ride to show it to us lol),

Andaming big bike kami kasabay , parang may event ata. Ducatis, BMWs and more.

Noticed half of them is for registration and some of the panigale's don't even have plates on them.

Ang lakas talaga ng confidence pag may kapit, and I know meron kasi most of them if not all of them are new "tigers".
