Well I wish I had have watched this before this trip to Cebu but will be more useful in a few months when returning there. Thanks so much Mate for posting Cheers 😊
It’s a great place to ride with lots of mountains, coastline etc. Dogs are pretty good at dodging bikes, don’t see many cats but the main issue is the way people act on the road. ITs a challenge but very doable
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Agreed. The stray dogs are biggest hazard in Siquijor, so hard to predict when they zigzag across the road, and the crazy drivers are the worst in downtown Dumaguete. I have narrowly avoided hitting several dogs in Siquijor, they just sit in the middle of the road like they own it and oncoming big dump trucks at the same time make this hazardous. I have seen a number of dead dogs, killed by pickup trucks and SUVs mostly, saw another one today.
That is literally the loudest intro that I have ever heard in my life. No worries, just scared the crap out of me due to the volume. Thanks for the video though. A lot of nice bikes.
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.
Bike prices are almost the same here, maybe a little bit more expensive. Import duties are really expensive so be aware, big bikes are available in Dumaguete and more in Manila and Cebu
Hi John, It’s a straight forward process. Research the bike you want to buy and go to a shop and buy it. Or, if you want to buy off a person you will need to make sure the person has the registration papers and then go and get a deed of sale stamped by an attorney. Prices vary from p1500-3000. You should have a Motorcycle license in your country or an international licence with MC mentioned. You can drive here for approx 3 months then you need to get a Filipino licence. Hope this answers your question.?
@@TheInvisibleAmericanMan @ridingtheislandswithharro6581 Well, with some of those imported bikes, especially when not from Asia, its expensive.. Better go with the asian ones.. Some are even manufactured in the Philippines.. And when on a tight budget hey, the indian brands are also okay! On that note, please also include the Royal Enfield store next time. It is small but have all the important ones there. And TVS is also not bad - they even building many of the smaller BMWs for them.
Motor cycle heaven. Wow Wow Wow!
My only worry with some of these bikes is spares
General service spares are readily available but some other parts can take a couple of months to get
Im like a kid in a candy store watching your vlog😊.
I was too lol

I hope to ride with you one day
Sure, just arrange a time
@@ridingtheislandswithharro6581 must be about time to do the Philippine Loop Harro 😉
@@douglasljdunn yer, been thinking about doing that with a mate and his missus but I might just do it informally if you know what i mean
59 CHEV ! FIRST CAR I OWNED, THEN 58, THEN 57
Benelli motorcycles is owned by Qianjiand part of Ceely holding group and made in China.
Is there a big markup in PI for imports? Debating shipping my current ride or buying another when I make the move.
Wouldn’t mind having an idea about the used market, too. I ride a Vstrom 1000 and can’t see going back to scooters.

2 mil pesos at 55 , almost 37k usd, doubtful
