Re lights: I think it's great that there's no turning them off. After all, lights are required even during daytime for added visibility. On gas, uso na 'yan. Kahit sa pickup, umiilaw kaagad. Did the same test with the truck and reserve is at 20L. I think they are just overprotective. Kasalanan na talaga natin kapag naubusan tayo. LOL Ride safe, tol! PS pogi nung motor mo. Dayo na kayo uli rito.
I have a Rusi Classic 250 that hasn't been getting any attention from me. Looks like I lost the passion to drive motorcycles (nagka oto e). But man. Now I am considering in getting a Bristol because of this video.
Great video review you had there, had appreciated a lot regarding the reality bits you observed and shared. I own a SG150R (SKYGO Earl Classic 150) for more than a year now as my very first modern-classic bike and reliable utility. One particular spec of my bike worth mentioning is the 14-liter gas tank, quite bigger in capacity than as compared to the 13.5-liter the Classic 400 you mentioned. Actually, among my fellow Klasikos in our Moto Club (majority of which are CR152s and TMX125s), Skygo's Earl has the largest tank capacity which is able to bring me full-tank back and forth - Pangasinan to NCR vice versa. I experienced riding to NCR from Pangasinan 4 times already and it remained the same, full tank of gas can return me home to Lingayen with a little reserve left inside. Back to the Bristol Classic 400i, I already had my share of a test-ride long before the Pandemic erupted and all I can say is, I got satisfied, really aimed to have this as my next bike one day as I upgrade my classic bike preferences. Perhaps one day when I already acquired and enjoy riding my own Classic 400, I might aim for another upgrade - that is a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. Well anyway, both these 3 retro bikes share one particular character and build which suits my aesthetics and enthusiasm, that is the three bikes are built as Standard Road Bikes with some striking similarities all on their own...
Bristol 400 owner here. Yep common issue na yata talaga yung sa fuel gauge niya na kahit madami pang laman is nag sisignal na siya. Usually ang ginagawa ko talaga sinisilip ko yung tangke if kaya pa ibyahe lalo na't mahal ng gas ngayon haha. Ride safe sir!
Okey yan boss kung Maaga nagwawarning ang gas indicator mo..ibig sabihin nyan safe ang gas pump mo sa pagkasunog..nakakasunog po ng fuel pump ang laging low level ang gas..
Solid review sir! How much is the avg cost of maintenance though? I heard from a review it cost him like 5k pesos? I hope it's not the case, anyways, ride safe sir!
Yes … really had an issue po talaga . Pero part napo talaga siguro yun kaya laging mag pa maintenance nalang… check the oil para less hussle Pag Di na mag start . Lagi ako ni rerescue before kasi Ayaw mag start, then in less than one year nag change napo ako ng battery kasi May short circuit affected ang mahal pa naman ng battery graveh. One thing ang bigat din Pero eventually na carry ko na kahit maliit ako. Na lowered ko na din so less tumba na ako . 😁 so far enienjoy ko pa ang performance na maibigay nya . Thanks to this review got an idea.
@@emmanuelgabutan4583 for me if my budget lang to buy for a higher than 400cc much better, Like Bristol bobber 650cc or Venturi 500cc. ma kukulangan kana sa performance ni classic 400iomega eventually, okay lang for bigginers pa lang. and the weight is not that practical for me since BABAE po ako. that's my opinion lang po.
I'm around 5'7 and I can plant my feet firmly on the ground while wearing sneakers, so I'd say if you were wearing riding boots, you would have no problems. It's also not that heavy so great for us who arent that tall. :)
Oo nga eh, plus Bristol is not the most reliable when it comes to spare parts. I still love my Bristol 400, pero kung kunwari ngayon ako magdedecide na bumili ng 400cc, baka tumingin na lang ako sa iba. 😅
Meron kc akong xsr155 idol Plano Kong ibenta almost 1year palang at 1300 palang Odo ko it's a simply nice motorcycle pero Yung 400 kc Ang gusto ko talaga.tnk you.
Unfortunately, being labelled as "made in the Philippines" has a very negative image, even in the Philippines itself. Not sure if Bristol bikes are purely Filipino, I think I read somewhere that the parts are imported from Taiwan and Japan, then assembled here.
