I did that ride myself on that little Aerox. I turned around about where you did. That little scooter about beat my brains out. Keep an eye out for a Scooter and a bike for me. I will be back in October to stay this time. Miss riding with you brother! Always love your music
Yer turns traction control off.....gimick with only 390cc...maybe good on wet greazy muddie crap but....i recon night mode on the dash is better....ha...good to see you wearing gloves...😊....teach boys the cnr man system...if theres a few....
Nice Video as usual, counting down the days until end of the year and permanent move over…might be coming up from Butuan for a few Days to see Dumagheti and Valencia,hopefully you’ll be around , would love to see your bikes..does that KTM have ABS?
I own the same bike and I agree with your assessment. I put a bigger front disc on mine and a better rear shock, the front shocks bottom out occasionally. Not enough leg room for me and I am not a big guy. Like you said ok for smaller trips
Hi Mark... We met last year an Ninos place in Valencia. My name is Greg and we spoke about retirement in the Philippines and you mentioned you had a guru who could help....Any chance you can send me his details please Cheers
As maintenance is just a suggestion in the philippines, it makes me very weary of buying a used motorcycle in the philippines. Plus, if it has ever been in an accident, there is no way to know until you ride it and realize it handles like crap .
I've heard that the XR 150L is a great bike for all-around use . It just made it to the States after years of being in Asia and is well received as a very affordable entry-level adventure motorcycle. 19 s in the front and 17s in the back make it a great province bike with a big fuel tank and a small price tag .
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Thank you for the reply sir. That´s what I thought when I saw the display for a sec in the video. I am riding 390 now, sold my Afrika Twin couple of years ago as I am getting older and the bike was to heavy for the challenging adventure ridings here in Iceland. I am visiting the Phil in oct for a island hopping tour on motorbikes and my plan is to retire in the Phil later this year so looking for a bike will be priority.
Nice place VN Harro. Not so expat friendly as PH. Their Confucian values incl. civic pride is very evident cf. PH Catholic apathy. Thanks for sharing mate
Yep been there. Interested but not surprised in the VN minimal coverage of the battle of Long Tan and description of us as American lackeys in the war museum. History is written by the victors.
Hi, I love the new CF Moto 450 adventure bike and the 800 adventure also but not totally sure about reliability, parts, servicing etc. I’m trying to get a hold of a 450 and will do a review but there are already a lot of reviews online
Hi sir, just wondering where did you buy the hand guard for your honda motorcycle? I've been trying to find something like yours now for a couple of weeks and I'm just curious if you bought it online may I ask where did you buy it? Thank you
The Benelli is now made in China with Italian engineering, hence the lower price. Similarly, CF Moto is effectively a KTM also made in China, great value in my view. The KTM engines seem to be fairly bulletproof.
I’m Thinking about getting one of these, they look like a lot of fun, I grew up learning to ride on a Honda ct70 (1970s). You could go anywhere you could point it except up a tree although I tried. But now I’m 6ft 2 in. Interesting fact- I did a comparison of this bike to the Honda CT125 trail bike. The wheelbase, engine, tire size, frame, and weight are exactly the same. Big adults have gone round the world on those bikes. Loaded to the max. And they cost 4500usd for a ct125 the XRM dual sport is 74000 php or 1300usd. What a steal, you could buy 3.5 XRMs for the price of the ct125.
Hey Harro, I have enjoyed your videos. I wanted to ask, does anybody import bikes from Japan or Thailand, or is it too cost prohibitive ??? Just curious, if I retire there, can I import a couple of favorite bikes to ride, thanks Tim H.
Hey Tim, Glad you enjoy the vids 🙏. Importing bikes here is cost prohibitive unfortunately however there are quite a few bikes already here that can be purchased e.g lots of Vmaxs, various other big bikes
Agree with your comments. The front end on these things are woeful and a real let down - they bounce all over the road whenever there are bumps and are especially bad around bumpy corners. So much promise too with a great little engine and lane-busting slim design.
They only have a different frame but they have the same engine depending on what you want, the adv has a lot of accessories, but if offroad same feelings try kuna peace ✌🏻
So question, if I can’t get the triumph in Butuan, I think there’s a place in Cebu, is there an option to ship it to Butuan and any guess on how much? Do you think a non triumph mechanic can work on it? I know parts could be an issue
