They often tend to keep to themselves and socialize with select people. Here is a fellow I know who has 2 Harleys in the Philippines. He may sell one, if he still has them both, but they go for over a million pesos. They are LOUD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to talk to him if possible. Bikers do normally keep to them selves and only talk to a select group of people. I myself have owned many Harleys and live the same way . I've got a 2019 low rider currently. From what I'm finding online it costs about 1.3-1.5 million for a 2022 low rider in Philippines. And at that price my best bet is to sell mine but a new one here for 17k and have Harley ship it there for 2 k still be cheaper than the crazy 1.3 million there.

My Harley seems like it might just be easier to buy one there than the headache of all things you need to do to get it there. The tools and bed shouldn't be a problem though right ? They sell beds here, I'm not sure it's viable to send such a bulky item unless you're already sending a container/half-container anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to get rid of a 3500 bed though can't really get much for a used bed selling it. So basically be out the 3500 and still need a nice bed. But your right it's worth looking into. If I can't ship my Harley then the bed isnt that important and the tools can go in boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically be out the 3500 and still need a nice bed. But your right it's worth looking into. If I can't ship my Harley then the bed isnt that important and the tools can go in boxes I hear you. We had the same dilemma when we moved from Hong Kong to here, and ultimately decided to go for broke and ship enough stuff to justify a half-container - not sure of the cost in your case but the shipping cost for the bed alone may push it into the not economically viable range. Also, keep in mind that once you start bringing in bulkier items you are starting to put limitations on the type of property you can get. I've watched a good few TV shows where people are relocating and uppermost in their mind was making sure the property was big enough for grandmas dinner table and chairs! Good Luck with your move.

You might also want to consider the super hassles owners have in getting parts. Just because theres a dealer or two doesnt mean they carry a full inventory of all parts required. You will become familiar with " out of stock ". Id research the hassles owners have and maybe bring over a few of the more expected replacement parts. I can see a learning curve is about to appear......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's technically true in America as well. But not an issue. Is it more of a concern in the Philippines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
