RBM Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I brought a new Super tenere 1200 in Manila and it was not much more expensive than new in NZ. Around 10 years ago did the sums and definitely not worth it to import. Ended up sending 2 TTR s over in a box, ( shipped as BB) was a small issue with customs as xrays were just installed, easily over come by..... Registration was also easy with contacts. I doubt this is possible now. Best, easiest is buy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Kid Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Where would you be able to drive a 1200 cc bike like it's supposed to be driven here in the Phills? The only reason I can think of owning one would be to satisfy the "mine is bigger than yours" syndrome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bastonjock Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I own a honda valkyrie, ive thought about shipping it over but ive got to let my head rule my heart , its just too big for the Philippines and the cost of shipping is prohibitive, ive been thinking of a honda 250 for the Philippines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDean62 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 lots of good advice. As far as riding goes, i know a big bike seems like an extravagance and maybe it is, but there are rides there in Leyte and Samar. Tacloban to Maasin would be a nice ride. I get it though. Doing all of that to get a bike over from the states seems foolish. I will keep my eyes and ears open for used bikes for sale and consider buying a new one at some point in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I can think of owning one would be to satisfy the "mine is bigger than yours" syndrome! This is one of the most craziest statements I have ever read on this forum. Obviously by a person whom has never ridden large bikes here. Speed is not everything on a big bike, how ever within 10 minutes of where I live I was often SAFELY riding at over 180KM, nice road, no side roads little traffic. Modesty aside I have ridden extensively here and there are many roads where one can safely ride fast if that is the desire. Only those with riding experience will understand the sensations of having this kind of power under them. Your comment of mine is bigger than yours I find offensive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride now just a Yamaha 250 serow which is great in the city but open roads..........Still can have some fun light off road riding. I could not advise shipping one over without contacts. Still it will be cost prohibitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heeb Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Here’s a question, let’s say you purchase a motorcycle in the P.I....could you take it to another country like India for a trip and bring it back and avoid hassles since it was purchased in P.I.?
