I have seen someone riding a KTM Duke 200 bike on SRP during the sponsored Suzuki Drag Race...who's the owner? where did he get it? how much did he get it?
don't mind paying extra cash for the real thing? make sure it's extra extra extra extra cash bec. KTM is known to be very expensive here in pinas. hehehehehe.
price comparision
cbr 150 -
150k petot
fz16 - 110k to 115k based from my inquiries sa yamaha 3s shops before I bought my rouser 135LS
rouser 135LS - 67k
duke 200 - 240k (sa ako na dunggan ha but might change) para naa lang ta idea tanawa ni sa KTM pinas
website ang lowest displacement diha is 250cc which is 520k petot, ug mao na palit na lang ko hyundai i10 or 2nd hand SUV enjoy pa tanan pamilya ug safe pa mi tanan.
sa speed I think ma compare ang fz16 ug rouser 135 ani kay puro mana sila naked bike nga category and cbr150 dili ma compare kay sports bike man gyud ni. On speed rouser135 is faster than fz16, top speed nako on stock rouser 135 is 125kph.
sa looks? depende sa taste kay rouser 135 para nako bagay naman sa akoa kay para nako fz16 is mura man buktot ra ug una sa tanan wala ko budget para more than 100k motor ug mao na palit na lang ko multicab hehehehe. ako ra pod ni opinion ha.
sa quality? fz16 is still made in
india and don't underestimate bajaj they are in the business since 1930's maghimo pod gani sila ug awto lupig ta pinoy ana. And bajaj invented dual spark plug sa motor and they owned the patent that's why uban motorcycle brands can't make such technology bec. of patent.
honda CBR 150 is made in
thailand so sorry walay japanese made bikes ma compare nato diri.
gas tipid? fz16 is 1:30 km/L mura ug raider ug sniper. rouser 135 is 1:50 Km/L
After market parts should also be considered, clearly ang duke KTM ani maglisod na ta ug acquire ug parts.
In the end, mo matter ang fuel consumption para nako kay unsaon mana mag sige ko dala sa KTM or CBR or FZ and since working class man ko dili man ko dunolan ug bisan piso lang sa mga taw nga motanaw sa ako motor nga nindot. And lastly, kawasaki won't rebrand bajaj pulsar 135LS if they don't trust the quality of bajaj else it will just make kawasaki look bad. Namaligya man gani pod ang bajaj ug
kawasaki ninja so it's the same way kawasaki trust bajaj and vice versa.
So in buying a bike ask yourself, what's the reason I'm buying. Is it for my daily use from home to work and vice versa dala na pod ni laag2x? or gusto pod ko dili ma bilin inig green sa traffic light? Or I just want to buy a bike to dig some chics? or do I have the budget to buy in cash or pay in monthly? or do I just want to expose my bike on road shows, racing events and I want people to look at me and with heads up in pride(di ko deny ani naa man gyud ta ani in one way or the other)? or I just want a practical bike bec. of insanely high fuel prices with infinite time when it will stop increasing?
just my 2 cents.
peace!
