- Today we visit the Premier Yamaha Motorcycle dealer for Iloilo. I wanted to see the styles and get some prices in case I win the lottery! Bill wanted to see some bikes and know more about sizes and styles available here. Hope you enjoy the visit.
We are a Fil Am couple sharing our lives between living in Texas USA and Panay Island Philippines. We share dealing with two different cultures, building our solid concrete cast in place home beach side and exploring/ seeking new things. We hope you enjoy and join to be a apart of a bigger family here on this channel.
Thank you for being apart of our channel and lives.

COOL 👍
Just my two cents here. I purchased the XMax a few years back and absolutely love it. 300cc is way more power then I need, but with my size it’s nice having enough power to get up and go. I looked at all three models. I’m sure the TMax is a beautiful scooter, but it’s not practical or safe in my opinion. The NMax size is better suited for my wife. I think I would wear it out much faster. Bottom line, I love my XMax, I’m sure you would enjoy it yourself.
Thanks for sharing
here in luzon 400 ccis a must to use the freeways and here thats the only way to travel side streets to slow
its hard to tell from the video at the beginning if the bike is silver with purple wheels or white. but it looks nice.
Worth checking out Kawasaki/Bajaj Dominar 400, supposed to expressway legal .less than 200 k pesos! On the Bajaj you tube they show many very long trips on the Dominar. Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, a 50,000 Ikm trip around the USA. And south america. Crusing the American highways all day at 120 kph!
Thank you
We bought a new 2019 Suzuki Ertiga on our last trip before COVID shut everything down. It was a 7 seater but small enough to get in and out of places over here. We finally got back to the PH last week and have been driving it all over. I was just under 1 million back then.
I almost bought the t-maxx but it was so expensive.. I decided to go with a Kawasaki Vulcan 650 for me.. and I bought an x-max 300 for my son. And you are correct they will haul ass.. that's all he needs. Unless he wants something like the Kawasaki Vulcan. it sits low and more of a chopper style.. original motorcycle not a scooter. And I've done a lot of research on motorcycles there.. Y'all are more than welcome to go by the house and check them out.. don't let him buy a motorcycle till you talk with me.. there's a lot of hidden issues you need to be aware of.. I had to learn by experience... I bought all at once a Yamaha X-Max 300cc , a Kawasaki Vulcan 650 and a Kawasaki barako 175. Got all three of them for less than I would have had to pay for the t-maxx
Nice Video James...bigger is not better here in the Philippines..I think that 300 max is Perfect...plenty of power and comfortable...plus storage...I agree with James
I watch and Save every vlog. Learn so much and admire your acclimation to the country
I appreciate that!
I can't believe how much storage space the one had under the seat. My wife would love it.
if you're not near a expressway XMAX.. if your anywhere close to the expressway TMAX. I have the Nmax and love it.. but I also have a Tracer 900.
I love it, bring me back boy. I sold my bike, snowmobile and car when the kids were born. I miss it.
that powerful bike XMAX, i'm only using 150cc touring around panay island, iloilo capiz antique planing going to negros next year.
Good Video James, lots of options
All I would add is that a 400cc allows the expressway travel. Most people want to run the back roads anyways but if you want to jump expressway sometimes better to have 400cc or larger. Think X-max has a 400 cc now just not in Philippines yet
@Phil Jones I wouldn't say going out on a limb, sounds like you know what you are talking about.
He knows exactly what he's talking about no need for all that power for sure .
@Phil Jones Entitled to your opinion but I wouldn't throw all of Luzon under the bus, there are some nice locations up here. Plus what are you talking about in regards to typhoons? The Visayas and southern parts oh Philippines have just as many if not more damaging typhoons that we do up here in Luzon.
@@philjones6964 who told you every other week there's a typhoon?
the Burgman front glass goes up when down air hit you a lot and they have a 400 most features the n-max and t-max features
Some good looking bikes there. From all the videos I have seen you were giving him good advice on the model to consider...it should be all he would need.
Appreciate your sense of humor! Hope Juliet and I can figure out how to meet you.
Where are you at? Simple to look us up on google maps - Texas Filipino
I have a small 125cc Honda Mio in Iligan City. I’ve thought about a bigger bike but honestly it’s better to get a car and be safer. I’m also going to bring an electric bicycle, it’s small and perfect for local trips.
if he has got one yet, I would also take him to look at the Honda PCX 160. very good quality and pick and go is amazing. I have the Honda pcx 160 and it excellent bike
*People in luzon(especially those who can afford) much preferred 400cc+ just to be allowed to traverse in expressways whenever going in and out of Metro Manila.*
Very True - good point
One blue ones near the end of the vid..cheaper than I was expecting. Big engine for someone like me
Bill looks like he is having a great time. makes me miss being there
I'm bummed, you showed tons of bikes but kept skipping the one I really wanted to know about LOL.
Tell you buddy to take trikes. Safer.
the old 500 thumper would be the perfect bike for PH. imho Cap's bike nails it, shame it doesnt come in a 400
I used to have a CB 350 Honda. It had plenty power and could keep up with anything on the freeway.
My legs are too short for these big ones
I'm living in San Joaquin, past Banwa. I have a few dirtbikes, Honda Kawasaki. These Yamahas are too heavy to drive in the mountains, and not comfortable for street riding. I'm going to buy a BMW GS crossover, there is a dealer in Bacolod. I test drove a GS 300 there, it was fine. They're a little over 300,000 pesos only.
The X Max and the Honda Forza are the 2 best overall street bikes for day 2 day use in the Philippines. I have the Honda PCX 160 abs which is like a baby Forza.
@@philjones6964 not sure what Philippines your talking about, but you can get a 125, 300, 350 & 750 Forza in the Philippines. And I don't have the OLD PCX 150. I have the new PCX 160 abs. Completely new bike in 2021 and it looks similar to the Forza only has a slightly smaller storage up front and under the seat and actually handles better and rides smoother than the Forza. And I don't need anymore power in the congested traffic of Cebu.
Mr. James, Good Morning...Does Melinda know how to Drive a Motorcycle?
Nope
No you didn't say flyin' squirrel! 🤣🤣🤣
I know my two cent don’t mean nothing but I would go with something like the Honda air blade 150 or the Honda click 160 way cheaper on price and you get everything you need or do the nmax 150
@Phil Jones I’ll stick with the 150 or 160 n be Be happy
Suzuki is a better deal.
Nice ride sir
Thanks ✌️
Hello James do they allow UTV or ATV on the streets there? Awesome bike shop. Merry Christmas to both of you hope you have a Happy New Year. God bless keep up the great videos Thank you
he must ride an indian in the usa. I like that t max. i'm a yamaha guy but I love the xsr too but less practical in the phil esp in the city. But i'm reluctant to give up my manual shift bike
Love the bike shopping. I will be doing the same too. I do want to travel a lot so I want to get the 400cc or higher bike so I can ride it on the expressways. I heard the minimum CC allowed on the expressways is 400cc so I would like to fill that criterion.
Purchased Honda Click 160 in August , great bike and more than enough power for Philippines 117,500 pesos
Until you get to expressways and toll roads and it's not allowed - Regular roads and riding that 160 is all you need. :)
@@TexasFilipino plan on relocating to Iloilo in 3-4 months. Any toll roads around other than Cebu??
Maybe I should have kept my TX Tolltag🤣🤣
@@TexasFilipino MOTORCYCLES with 110cc engine displacement are now allowed to pass the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) starting Wednesday, September 14, 2022. Motorcycles with engine displacements of between 110cc and 399cc are classified as Vehicle Class M1, which have a toll rate of P60.
James. Remember the old YZ80 it was a little dirt rocket.
These yz's are four stroke. I had the YZ400F and YZ426F and absolutely loved them. Wish I never sold the 426F They turn high rpms and have amazing torque that will absolutely rip!
Those lil 2 stroke 80s was fun
Another good one as usual. Off topic, do you think it is helping or hurt content creators with so many super short videos? I feel I’m dropping a few I’ve followed forever because my feed it clogged up with short videos not labeled as shorts.
when we get older bending over starts to hurt a lot the scooter are much less hurtful I think they have a x-max 400 was wanting at least 400 as the highways won't let you on them unless you have at least 400cc do they have any x-max 400 there in Iloilo as that is where I will be going in April if so I think they are just about same price as the x-max 360
The only reason you want 400cc is when you go to express ways in Luzon when visiting the Northern part of the Philippines, which i think is stupid since there are a lot of bikes with less displacement but have multiple Cylinders. They should really change that rule.
I believe you need 400 CC.. If you are going to go on the toll road.. In the Philippines. Yes I am near Manila.
Those bikes are sick as shxxt BOI.
Hi James, sorry for the interrupt, can I ask what insurance do you have there? we have been trying to find one that has a good 3rd party property cover, we have a bike and a car (jeep yes old but so cool) just need a good cover, Thank you have a great day Mark
Wow them bikes are expensive man $14,000 for that blue one do you think they would be a little cheaper over there where they’re made man I don’t know a lot about them but it seems like a little high? Just thanking out loud. ?
i once hada vmax it was to much...
Hi James and Ms Mell 😘... That was funny watching Miss Mel get on and off the bike in a dress 😂.... She has to learn to put one foot on the foot peg and get the right height and the right angle on the dangle to get on that thing 😂😂😂... And off in reverse with a dress 😂😘... James don't you teach her anything 😂... That's okay I enjoyed it was a good laugh... My old lady used to know how to get on my Harley... But she always wore pants 👍🏽
Sir, the one that you liked and the 12:40, are they the same just different color? I love the 12:40 color
I've got a BMW R1250 GS Adventure. MASSIVE bike. 7 gallon fuel tank. I'm wondering if it just makes more economic sense for me to pay a shipping company to send it over the Philippines rather than buy another bike when I get over there.
if you want to use expressways you need by law to have 400 cc
Seems very high for such small bikes
A Suzuki would be a better deal. Yamaha I think is number one in the Philippines and Honda number two. That’s partly why they are more expensive. I would check out Suzuki or Kawasaki.
I've had 4-5 bikes of misc CC's until my accident on wet asphalt at Forest Lane and LBJ. (You know exactly where that is!) Good times until that happened. Instead of "Wild Hogs" y'all could go by as, "The Badazz Balut Boys". 🤣
LOL
Bawahahaha Badd ass Balut Boys that's a good un lmao 🤣 another name could be the outlaw kuyas or Hells Chicken Chokers lmao 🤣 Not ya PaPa I too know about that unforgiving asphalt bro it's all fun & game on until Road Rash happens no damn doubt
@@JWDREAM-d3x Hells Chicken Chokers 🤣🤣🤣 I still have all surgical and road rash scars and always will as a reminder.
What is wrong with the Philippines? No 'Banana Seats' and No 'Ape-Hangers'
I thought it was 'More fun in the Philippines' 🙂
James how much was the n max and t max?
Hello James love you brother 🎉
Good morning!
There’s no point going over 160 cc unless you want to get a crotch rocket speed is not prevalent in the Philippines unless you’re in Bohol or somewhere like
Um no Kenny small cc bikes are not allowed on expressways
@@TexasFilipino i know that !!express freeway not needed i dont use them
Nice video James. It was a great trip down memory lane on the dirt bikes. When I was a teenager, I was dangerous on one of those! I wasn't the best rider, but I had fun offroading. But a word of caution to your viewers. Those knobby tires are death on wet asphalt :D and it always seems that the asphalt wherever your go in the PI is WET! Be safe out there if and when you ride!
This was not far off memory lane with old style bikes for me. I had the current model YZ450F 4 stroke not very long ago. These are not like old school four stroke, these are 11000 rpm beast. I rode motocross a big part of my life. I was also a bullrider too. In fact I was a adrenaline junkie most of my life. I did jumps as high as these coconut trees and smiled the whole way every time
have maxam cp 250 sell in Philippines ?
Buy an SUV.
More storage and longer life in the PI
major highways near and around Manila won't allow anything less that 400 cc
We are couple hundred miles and many islands from there so people here that dont matter much to them. Very true about there though. If your going to island hop and plan to go to Manila or Cebu much best go for 400cc
👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️
What's with the incredibly annoying background sound in that shop? That would piss off any customer anywhere else in the world.
may tricity po ba kayo?
What do you call the type with handlebars way up? I imagine my arms going num if I try those
Ape hangers or ape bars.
@@boat6868 thank you, looks uncomfortable but probably just me as a lot of people like it
What’s required to buy one for a American traveling to the Philippines what kind of documents do I need?
Just money only Sir
@@TexasFilipino
Thank you going first week of November hope to buy one
Kamusta Po ?? Yes sir I too had Dirt bikes in my younger days I also had the YZ 500 yahmaha James it was super fast & had a lot of torque it had a power ban & suspansion chamber exhaust bad to tha bone .with the power band set it would bring the front tire off ground when it tightened up lol hang the hell on lol .But one of My favorite bikes I had to play on was the Honda Elsinor 250 I just loved to hopp around over logs & such in the woods trail riding on it . Peace out Bro God Bless
that was a 2 stroke yamaha you had I had this current model I am showing in the video of the yz450f FOUR STROKE that would whoop that 2 stroke. The power of these 4 strokes yz-f models are outrageous. I'm not talking way back long ago. I continued riding up into my middle age.
@@TexasFilipino yes it was a 1 cly 2 stroke the jug & head on that motor was good size if you remember & the piston was big also it had a lot of Torque it would stand up 3 gear wheelies without even trying just by twisting throttle lol. If they are fixed up right with gearing & powerband & such I don't know if that 4 stroke would beat that 2 stroke or not especially short distance or track 2 stroke especially those YZ were very very fast . 😀 hell riding up until your middle age lmao you just are middle age 🤣 you still green & wet behind the ears youngster 🤣 Lmao 🤣
@@TexasFilipino 2 strokes make more power than 4 strokes & also more efficient power faster than 4 stroke plus they are lighter so there for faster I believe Po . Lol
Don’t forget about noise
@@TomBTerrific yup that YZ 500 I had was 2 stroke racing bike it sounded like a bunch of pissed off hornets lmao I don't think James wanted any of that bike it was built to be bad to the bone it was a 1st place contender in any race if you knew how to ride 😜
Im going to ask a rookie question... does financing in the phillipines work as checking your credit as in the usa? Going through a divorce. Want to move to the phillipines. Got a good retirement but credit shot to hell. Just wondering.
You can get a better deal with a Suzuki.
