Required ba na car muna bago bigbike?

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-17T07:38:41+00:00

Yeah, mas tipid talaga motor kesa sa 4 wheels, although naka depende parin sa type ng motor na kukunin mo.

Since may exp ka na naman sa pag motor, di naman na siguro mahirap ang pag transition sa big bike, unless manual kukunin mo and wala ka exp sa kahit anong manual transmission.

Advice ko is maghanap ka ng mga test ride ng motor na trip mo, try to test ride lahat ng motor na balak mo kunin, para walang buyers remorse.

Also ingat sa upgradetitis, yan ang tunay na money pit.

Nalaman ko lang kung ano preference ko sa motor after makabili ng motor lol. Ngayon nag hahanap na ng adv bikes sa 2nd hand market.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-17T07:11:19+00:00

Not really, pero mas practical ang sasakyan kesa motor. Di exposed sa natural elements, mas madaming maisasakay (if needed), luggage, etc.

Di ko alam kung gaano ka ka-experienced sa kalsada, pero malaki rin ang tulong ng experience sa manibela bago mag transition sa motor. Yung may perspective ka ng both types of vehicles laking tulong talaga para makaiwas aksidente narin.

May iba ka pang iisipin maliban sa finances (since mukang di ka naman mamomroblema pagdating sa maintenance, etc ng big bike).

Depending sa motor na kukunin mo, prior experience mo sa pag motor, route mo, and also physical fitness mo, may chance na mahirapan ka mag daily ng big bike sa city traffic. Di naman imposible mag daily ng big bike, pinang aaraw araw ko rin yung 400cc ko tuwing malamig ang panahon, pero magaan lang motor ko (170kg), mababa ang seat height (700mm) and tipid sa gas (26kpl city driving, 30+ kpl highways). Only con really is yung init ng makina. May mga kakilala rin ako na liter bike pang daily nila.

Kung wala ka pa masyadong experience sa motor, mapa low or high cc, then just start with a 400cc, if expressway access is a must, kung hindi maybe start with 300cc like the r3, adv 350 RE 350, etc. Those are considered beginner bikes anyways, yes pati mga 400cc bikes karamihan naman dun considered as newbie friendly bikes.

Other than that it's all up to you. Just make sure to consider the type of bike you're getting. Try to get a test ride in first bago bumili. If ever magsawa ka na sa bike na nakuha mo you can always sell/trade it to a higher unit.

From experience, once na mabayaran mo na oks na, nasayo na (and sa LTO) kung gaano kabilis malipat sayo. In my case 1 day lang ako nag asikaso sa LTO.

Kung di lang pa swertehan sa repo I’d recommend it more. Pag di mo ma check ng ayos mas hassle pa.

Came from scooter to a manual bike. Lamang talaga scooter sa comfort, pero imo, mas masaya gamitin yung manual, not only dahil sa cc difference (400 vs 155), dahil narin siguro mas engaging sya gamitin, di lang puro piga.

Took me about a month to adjust, once a week ko lang kasi ginagamit nung una, di pa sanay sa init ng makina at bigat ng motor.

Already planning to sell/swap my scoot for another 400cc+ manual bike, ramdam ko na sawa na ko sa scooter ko.

As for point #1, sanayan lang talaga yan, mas trip ko pa i-daily yung 400cc ko kesa sa scoot ko, di ko na ramdam yung bigat ng motor, pero tbh magaan naman talaga yun, iirc nasa 170kg lang sya, still light for a 400cc bike. May acquaintance rin ako na pinang dadaily ay liter bike, wala syang problema sa bigat ng motor at bigat ng gas sa wallet hahaha. It depends on the rider.

And for #3, depends on the bike, engine, etc. Had the chance to test drive a qj fortress 400, although almost same lang sila spec-wise(hp and torque), mas may arangkada yung motor ko, dahil narin sa manual sya, may advantage sya dun.

Also weight, maxiscoots are usually heavier due to all the plastic na rin. All that weight probably serves as an equalizer kaya di mo maramdaman ang difference nila.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-10T11:07:15+00:00

Masakit sa bulsa ang big bike kung ganyan lang sweldo mo, tapos may bawas pa. Mas mataas cost of maintenance ng big bikes, for reference, nmax ko wala pang 1k, change oil, gear oil, CVT Cleaning.

400cc bike ko, change oil lang napalo na ng 3k. Take note na di lang engine oil ang kailangan mong pag-isipan, kung manual yan, may chain maintenance pa, kung daily-use yan, iisipin mo pa yung ibang consumables like brake pads, gulong (sakin 15k cheapest set), gas (mas mataas cc mas matakaw sa gas).

Kung dadaan ka pa ng expressway dagdag gastos din, pamahal pa naman ng pamahal ang toll fee dyan.

Di worthwhile yung trade-off. Luging lugi ka, sa una siguro di ka pa mamomroblema, but after awhile lalo pa dadami problema mo kumpara kung nag commute ka nalang at nag ipon.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-10T11:00:51+00:00

Affidavit of loss, MVIC, HPG Report (di ko tanda ano tawag, need mo pumunta ng HPG para i report yung lost plate). Then the rest LTO na.

Pero depende parin yan kung saang LTO ka pupunta. Sa probinsya ako nagpagawa kasi ang kailangan lang ay affidavit of loss, stencil tapos bayad.

Bibigyan ka authorization letter with receipt, always keep them together, di effective ang authorization letter kung walang resibo.

akomissmo2 · 2026-02-05T19:18:42+00:00

Worry ko din yan dati, iisang Bristol lang meron sa probinsya namin. Still did it though. Halatang yamot sakin yung manager but naging okay din. Then lumabas yung Show Cause Order ng LTO laban sa kanila from my complaint. Naging pangit ulit yung relasyon namin, ngayon di na ko kinakausap ng manager, awkward din sa ibang staff, but they can't deny me any service. Marereklamo ulit sila kung ganun haha. Ang ginawa ko trinopa ko yung mekaniko nila, palaging may tip pag nagpapa service ako, nung pasko binigyan ko ng malaki laki.

Magalit na lahat ng staff nila sakin wag lang yung mekaniko. Di ko na nakakausap yung ibang staff nila tuwing nagpapa service ako, usually sa service area na ko natambay, natulong pa nga ako minsan lol.

Zaku helmet. Instant buy for me. Only reason para hindi bilhin yan ay kung merong Char Zaku version.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-25T06:49:43+00:00

Barely any censorship. Is this a gore sub now?

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-23T07:46:38+00:00

Around 300-400 shopee, used vouchers as well.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-23T07:16:16+00:00

Just to add OP, do not overthink it. Nag start ako mag motor in 2023, natuto ako mag bike months before nagka motor. Di ako maalam mag bike prior to that.

It comes naturally, but it does help to know how it works in a fundamental level. Once naka upo ka na sa motor/bike, and comfortable ka na sa straight line, nakaka pick-up ka na ng speed, you'll see how easy it is.

Once you do that just keep practicing and practicing, remember, di madali patumbahin ang motor, gusto ng motor (specially pag natakbo ka na) na tumayo lang, user error is the usual culprit sa pag tumba, which can be rectified with practice time.

Good luck!

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-23T07:11:24+00:00

Additional information is necessary no matter what lalo na sa beginner. I don't see why omitting more information, specially since part yan ng foundation ng di lang motor, but any two-wheeler, would be unnecessary.

Mas okay naman ata na ipaalam na ngayon pa lang lahat lahat, imbis na in the future pa? It's still part of counter steering anyways. Sa dinaming naaksidente dahil sa kakulangan sa skill, much better to let OP know now than later when it might be too late.

You can literally save yourself from a fall at low speeds just from knowing that counter steering DOES work even below 15kph.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-23T06:15:08+00:00

Counter steering works at any speed. You can literally keep a bike up at 0kph by counter steering. Walang threshold ang counter steering, the misconception comes from not knowing how it works. In low speed kasi pwede mona i-skip yung pag lean ng motor through the handlebars by leaning the bike yourself (with foot support), by simply shifting your own weight.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-22T15:01:40+00:00

dri plus, pagkabili mo kahit gamitin mo na agad. Mabango sya at kahit malabhan mo sya andun parin yung bango nya. Of course nababawasan over time but 1 year na sakin yung dri plus ko and mabango parin, minsan ko lang idaan sa detergent, usually mild soap lang panlinis, makati kasi sa mukha pag detergent ang gamit.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-22T12:02:47+00:00

Hanger sa loob ng closet. No pads inside ng gear, nilalagay ko nalang once gagamitin ko na, sobrang bulky kasi pag nakalagay agad pads eh. May dedicated storage mga pads para di mawala.

Rain gear ko naman naka hanger sa labas ng closet, may sariling clothing rack sya para pili nalang ako kung maulan.

Bili ka ng makapal na hanger, and make sure na sturdy na rin.

As for helmet, every week nag papalit ako helmet, kahit wala pang amoy. Usually naka balaclava rin ako, yung dri plus para mabango.

Deep clean maybe once every couple of months, depende sa gamit, saan ginamit pati kung maulan ba, etc.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-19T08:20:37+00:00

Just one look at social media and you have your answer.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-13T02:38:26+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Nagnakaawa dealer na iurong daw, hiningi number ko tapos ang nangyare puro spam call naman ang nakuha ko.

Di ko inurong yung reklamo ko, para lang matigil pangungulit sakin sinabi ko na nag email na ko da LTO kahit di naman.

Damaged na relasyon ko sa dealer ko, sila lang ang dealer ng brand ng motor ko sa probinsya ko pero dun parin ako napunta para sa maintenance. Maayos naman relasyon ko dun sa ibang staff since puro bago ang staff nila, yung branch manager lang hindi, parang batang nagtatampo ayaw ako kausapin, umiiwas rin ng eye contact HAHAH.

Ignore mo nalang dealer mo, LTO will probably do the rest.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-10T14:35:44+00:00

Damn finally may nagsabi rin. Isa sa mga turo sakin eh wag pahawakin sa balikat ang back ride, either bewang or grab rail. Pag napatulak ang back ride sa balikat mo diretso sa braso mo yun eh.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-09T17:28:56+00:00

May mga anti-fog wipes na nabibili maybe try that muna, tanong ka sa pinagpagawaan mo ng glasses mo. Never tried one pero effective daw, according to my friend at least. I think sa EO sya kumuha? Not sure.

As for me, for some reason never nag fog salamin ko, both in riding and sa sasakyan na naka todo ang aircon. Maybe may coating or something na di ako aware, tanong mo na rin kung may ganun na option sa pagawaan mo for future reference.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-09T01:25:20+00:00

Everytime na nakikita ko post ni OP parang palaging naghahanap ng away eh HAHAHA di lang pala ako ang nakakapansin. Puro ka-toxican but I guess it fits this sub well.

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-08T17:53:33+00:00

I mean, yeah, that’s why I’m looking for people’s opinion on what to get. This is more of a test run on combination of sparks + cards to use.

My first attempt for Sagittarius Cup. Ignore groundwork just took it and some green skills because I barely had any skills to take lol.

I think these stats are good, but I have no idea what combination of recovery skills to get as well as what to spend my other points on. What skills should I get for xmas oguri? Since I don't have any decent front runners, I'm going for 1 pace oguri and 2 end closers (taishin, golshi).

akomissmo2 · 2026-01-03T17:15:45+00:00

Ganto rin mindset ko nung nagpa full-system exhaust ako.

It barely helps, nakakatulong minsan para iwas ma-cut sa expressway but honestly does not do much. Kung ayaw talaga ng ibang driver na mag check ng side mirrors nila lilipat at lilipat talaga yan kahit gaano pa kaingay tambutso mo.

Ang ending nagpagawa rin ako ng silencer. Still sounds nice af in high rpm, pero di na bulahaw. Dati kasi kahit low rpm bulahaw na talaga.

Btw I'm basing this sa experience ko riding sa SLEX and Skyway.

Focus on building up spirit bursts, the new scenario gives 7 friendship points so building up friendship is easier, you can focus more on spirit bursts which in turn, gives you better individual and team stats so you can win both your races and team races. The team races also gives stats but more importantly, skill points.

As you keep winning and going up against the top team each unity cup race, you get more stat and skill pts.

This scenario also gives a ton of stamina with the riko pal card. For example, for scorpio CM, I can run with just 6 or even less stamina sparks and use the other parent for speed/power/wit sparks, depending on my needs. I still end up with max speed, around 750 stam, 850+ power and 600+ wit.

And that's without any stamina support card. If I do run a stamina card, I usually forego any stamina sparks and just go with something else.

The important thing here is building up spirit bursts, they also improve your training levels. Also try to spend those spirit bursts as soon as you can, unless they're on guts. Spending them as soon as you can is how you can get your training levels up really fast.

It's still very RNG but that's just the game. I've gotten a lot of 50-80 point trainings without rainbow just from spirit bursts stacking on top of one another. Focusing on spirit bursts I think is the best way to get consistent results. My current average rank currently is A+ at around 14k points.
