Honda super 4 is a great all around, budget friendly begginers bike... heck you may stick with it even if your a skilled rider na. Bikers also have a virus epidemic, the upgradedititis, the urge to get a sleeker and more powerful bike ever so often ;D

Totally agree on the honda super 4. My brother who has been into motorcycles for the longest time strongly recommends it for beginners. I think it goes for 120k-150k. Problem is, I can't afford it. Are ther bikeshops that provide terms? 50% dp balance payable in 12 mos?
What about the hornet 250 cc models? are they okay too?

hornet 250 is also ok but as soon as your skills progresses you will be longing for a bigger displacement engine. Besides, the hornet 250 is a later model, more expensive than the entry level super 4, project big 1.
btw, lotsa variations on the super 4, there's the PB1, Ver R, Ver S and the VTEC series, spec 1,2 and 3 Of course PB1 is the cheapest, its in the 100-120 price bracket.
hedkandi; afaik redskull racing in marikina accepts terms...

Just like pedal powered biking, You have to determine your (initial ) discipline first. There's road, hybrid, offroad and scootering. If you go for road bikes, its hard to go wrong with a "fresh" Super 4. Hornet 250s are a blast to ride. If you ride in the city, mas masarap pang dalhin than the S4 because of the slightly lower weight and ride height (mas flickable). If you're an adrenalin junkie who go on out of town jaunts regularly, you will easily grow out of the 250s, evan 400s for that matter. In fact, if your the type, you will want to upgrade every time you try a larger displacement bike. But if you are looking for something to use for going around the city, a Hornet 250 will not disappoint. .... And then after going through 250s, 400s, 750s and probably liter bikes, you will eventually try Italian scooters and will probably like it., The fun factor is on tap (no need to go far away to enjoy the joys of riding) and practicality & value retention are far greater than "modern" and bigger bikes. Dami bigbike shops. The ones in Marikina (along the main road and the subdivision, entrance also by the main road), near the old Airport and one in Timog, very near GMA7 (lots to choose from and prices are reasonable) are the more popular ones. Forget the other shop in Timog (near the old Delta Theater) - sobra mahal dun. For scooters, there's 2211(Manila) and EMC (Makati). There's this guy called Slick who seems to have tons of scooters to sell as well. Check out www.vespinoy.com/forums. Enjoy and ride safely.

Man.... I miss my FZR400RR-SP and the Kawasaki 636 that I *borrowed* from my best friend. I always liked riding 400cc bikes, be it standards or sportbikes. Enough oomph to satisfy my need for speed and loads of fun on track days. Sir marcs, if you're still looking for 400cc bikes, try AMP Motorsiklo as suggested by Sir Alphabolt. The owner, Aries Padiernos, is a good friend and taught me everything I know. Good luck and ride safe!

Still, my all time favorite- my (now historic) Yamaha TDR 250. Kung sa mtb may all mountain,
this is motorcycling world's all motard!!! Torture tested from the mountains of Sagada to
circumnavigating the whole island of Mindoro in the foulest weather! Just dont bother
thinking about fuel consumption (2stroker eh) if you get yor high on bursts of speed between 120-170kph [ paglalaruan nya ang mga Tenere 660 o KLR 650 on the technical stuff, wag lang babaran sa highway]
on endless dusty fire roads!

jonptiangco; i also fancy those TDR's! its the fuel consumption and the constant maintenance of 2 strokers that i'm worried about. Whats your average km/L consumption on it?

jonptiangco; i also fancy those TDR's! its the fuel consumption and the constant maintenance of 2 strokers that i'm worried about. Whats your average km/L consumption on it? sir, the TDR's motor is basically 2 yamaha DT 125s that are twin- alligned,but it's not like driving 2 bikes simultaneously-in terms of consumption. The difference is it's got a power valve system (YPVS) that opens up the exhaust ports for that power surge on higher revs. It's a miser on gas as long as you can resist the temptation to go beyond 7k rpm by which time you drown on the chainsaw like orgasmic scream of a two stroker and,believe me, you'd like to go through the whole sensory experience over and over-trans.-pwede matipid na gamit pero mahirap gawin lalo na pag pinagtitripan ka sa kalye ng mga walang tambutsong XRMs at Raiders. Maintenance of a 2stroker's a breeze as long as you use the right 2T oil, say a castor based oil like Castrol's R30s and 40s so you wont foul up the power valve mechanism, though it's priced quite steeply- 400peso a liter 5 years ago, but it's an olfactory delight-amoy pa lang ng usok mo feeling mo factory racer ka na!Consumption? On our past epic rides the three 600+cc 4stroke rigs needed only half as much to top out their fuel tank, trans.-maawa ka sa sarili mo pag mga 4 strokes ang kasama mo. But then again,if it's the fun factor that counts and you're still young and raging with hormones,the TDR wont let you down!

Have you got your bike marcs?
Some shops to visit for bike hunting: 1. Tony Kalbo in Marikina - the shop is located in front of Loyola Memorial 2. Aries - Blueridge 3. Mike Tan - QC area 4. Chriz Bigboard - QC also 5. Pipoy - Caloocan Sales 6. Jimmy Puti - Caloocan also
These bunch of guys sells quality used bikes of all sorts. Bikes that i had were '87 CBR750F, '90 GSX250RR, '89 VFR400RR, '92 VFR400RR (one of my favs), and '02 R6. Those were the bikes i had prior crashing with my wife on board a '00 YZ600. Now i only have my trusted '00 Monster 620i and an italjet dragster.
Happy hunting.

as bbike starter, honda super is the better choice. >>> if in a budget, go for project big 1 to version S model- don't buy bikes lower than 125K, for sure the unit comes with free headache!!! >>> if you have the dinero, honda super 4 version 1 up (1998 up models), for sure you'll love it.... price range is 200K up. my bebe: cbr6:
