Congrats on the new bike. I think you made a good choice. For me I'd want a 400 or more because I live right beside the NLEx (City of San Fernando, Pampanga) although I'm not sure I wouldn't be better off with a decent small used car just for going out and getting the groceries. At 71 I don't handle the heat very well and the aircon in a car (as well as the added protection because I can't afford long hospital stays 😉) would probably be a better choice for me.
Understood Tim. Thanks for your comment. John
I actually have a 22 pcx 160 great scooter, factory don't balance the wheels it really helped doing that at higher speed
I don’t know……I think you could’ve saved a lot more, buying in Cebu, and bring it home on the ferry! Too bad you didn’t take a look at the Yamaha Tricity (dual front wheels, makes for a steadier stance, and hard to tip over while riding)! Another great video, John! Thanks for posting! Keep the rubber side down!
Nice motorcycle, sir🤩. Congratulations 👏. Ride safely. Watching from S Korea 🇰🇷❤️
I got the white helmet and t-shirt when I bought my '23 Honda XR150L. Mine was ₱98k about $1815. I Installed a detachable topbox and got so e nice SEC modular helmets for the wife and I.
Great video had some fun today really enjoyed hanging out today ... you got a very nice scooter John take care of it and be careful and if you need help with anything or are looking for someone to hang out with I am text away take care John say hi to the family God Bless
I really appreciate you coming along, it was a fun day!
Wow it's a great choice. You cn never go wrong with honda.
Lots of beautiful motorcycle so expensive keep safe driving
Your wife is your OBR! Official Back Ride❤❤
Been a long time to see your channel, Hope all is well, last time you were in Florida.
I had same thoughts. Last video I saw of them was when they were in Florida. Like his videos since so heavily family oriented and down to earth.
Nice bike! But, the way traffic is in the PI I would never ride with my children on the bike. I hope you enjoy it. 🏍️
very informative. I am considering getting the white pcx that was already sold but I do ride in the rain and would most assuredly appreciate ABS on slick surfaces.
Like your Brandon hat! Nice bikes btw. Prices are always going up. Check out Kymco. They are also good quality. Ride safe 😎
Been looking at the same bike , but I made sure I looked at the competition as well, Dumaguete resident as well.
hope you have been enjoying this bike....
Honda PCX is good buy. Keep up the good work. 🏍🏍❤❤🏍🏍👍👍
Got a new toy... excited like a teen on his first bike😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loving family, exciting life... formula for healthy long life.👍👍👍.
As a local I would suggest to get a "top box" the box that that is attached to the back for extra storage, I use my motorcycle for groceries also 🤣 and also I store my raincoat and an extra pair of slippers at my "top box"
I have the base already installed and ready to receive the box once they are in stock. It is ordered and they will text me when it arrives.
Yer ringing my chimes! Unfortunately, it seems THEY are not selling ADV 750's in the States as far as I know! You seem to have gotten a nice Honda but I couldn't tell what model.
PCX/got it!
@@IntheBlood67 Yes, Honda PCX
Hi
I like Honda since i drive a 750 in my youtj 🙂
I miss info on the adim bits, change of owner, registration, insurance tax 😁👍
The dealership takes care of that and also the insurance for the first year.J
ps. I also drove a 750 in my 30's all over Los Angeles including the Beach Cities. It was a blast; Suzuki 750 Intruder. J
Nice bike, congrats
Congrats guys🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good luck John in getting a good deal
Good video, I made the mistake of purchasing a Suzuki Swift and even that small a car I had a hard time finding parking down town when we went to the market.
Great for traveling long distance to another Destination on the island when we spend 3 days at a nice resort.
We use it for that and going to church.
That's pretty much it.
We did purchase a Yamaha i125s Mio Scooter for my wife and she just got her Student license yesterday.
I purchase a TVS 3 Wheel Tuk Tuk and have no problem finding parking down town or near the Supermarket.
It's also great for when it rains.
Like you I'm looking into getting another Scooter.
I want to take off up the road on nice days with the wife going to near by resorts for swimming and lunch and a Honda Click 160 or Honda ADV 160 Scooter that size will be nice for our trips.
Her on her scooter me on mine.
Some people just don't get it, if I like the vehicle I'm thinking of buying I'm willing to spend a little more to be happy with my purchase. A 2023 Honda PCX 160 is going for a minimum of 127,500 so paying 130.500 for a 2022 is still a good price because it's a brand new Scooter.
The one thing that was very odd here was waiting a month for all our vehicles to go through registration.
Never get in a hurry here in the Philippines.
Good video thanks again, drive safe.
Good job John.
Josh is blessed to have his family there and good income in American dollars to live on
That Toy you bought make you even more younger mr. T nice to see your video again
Nice bike!
Thanks for providing good insight on making a purchase such as this, it looks sharp and I'm thinking along the same lines in terms of size and weight and how nibble that size bike will be in traffic. Maybe over time, I would consider getting something bigger or just settling for a small car for the rainy season.
Agreed and soon a new car for the entire family will be our next major purchase. :)
That same moped in Ohio atm is 4899 usd that is absolutely ridiculous price difference.
Congratulations!! Always nice to have a your own new motorbike. As a side note, when purchasing in the USA they really don't care if you pay cash or take the loan, either way they got paid. They also like when you take the loan from one of their banks because they get a kick back. :). Be safe out there!!!!
There's truth in that but one thing they don't like is when you pay with a credit card, they really don't like paying the credit card processing fee.
Kickback = commission
We turn people down everyday saying there paying cash for people who will finance dealership i work at.
Looks good. Can't go wrong with a Honda.
A few days later the price went up its now down again
It was 59 in november
Nice bike John. You’re location seems ideal for bikes. Here in Cebu I’d probably kill myself on one. Too congested here in the city. They travel in herds. Reminds me of the Nat Geo docs with the Wilderbeasts trying to cross a river with crocs. Enjoyed your video. Stay safe! 😊
I'm looking into the ADV 160 will be buying next month.
The PCX would be my 2nd choice.
I'm sure they're both good bikes and so fun to ride. So far I am very happy with my PCX. Let us know what you decide on...
I love Honda. Congratulations
👍👍👏👏. Wishing u all the best
,I like😁
Your family going to love going places stay 👍👍
💖💖💖💖
LGB hat is great
noticed the 'lets go brandon' is that instead of something else?😂
2023 models don't arrive in PH till Octoboer. They hit Thailand , Vn and those areas first.
Hello sir i have a friend here in dumaguete saling his bigbike 502cc beneli only 400.000.00 pesos all accessories ang free ang also the box
like to see every place you show, I have been !
Enjoyed the video. I've been living in Bacolod City since July. Moved from South Carolina. Early retirement at 56. In the same situation as you. We need a car and a motorcycle. Going to get a motorcycle first. I've been doing a lot of research on them and watching youtube videos. I think I am settled on the Honda brand.
It's been 6 months since you bought it and put out this video. Are you still happy with the purchase? What would you do different if you had the chance to do over again?
Also, were you able to go ahead and drive it or did you have to wait to receive the permanent tag and registration? Thanks again.
Congrats Happy for you both
Wow...poor Salesman, you took 500 Pesos discount out of his COMISSION!!!
Looking good on that bike family , warranty good or a maintenance plan of service given at buying from honda plan? Can really use that while kids are young , a surprise on price or is that good in that area ? Food looks good enjoying your adventures.
Oh yes, very practical for buzzing around taking care of shopping and all the rest. The car will be coming very soon...
ABS is a big deal. A lit safer breaking 80 percent off urr breaking is on urr front wheel brakes but I would not buy without Abs
I rode my Suzuki 750cc Intruder all over Los Angeles and beach cities in the 1980's for many years before helmets were required and no one ever dreamed of ABS on a motorcycle. Truth is if you're not a good defensive skilled driver nothing will save you, not even your coveted ABS Brakes. Lobbyist, propaganda and fake studies have driven this motorcycle ABS worship...Thanks for your comment David...John
Great MC! What would the same one cost in America?
I have no idea?
Slick style! Great !!
Thanks Donna!
nice
Great bike.... i had the Forza model
Next time you can get a Honda XL750 transalp 🎉🎉🎉
woww... nice motorbike
Don't forget to switch off 'idle stop' ... your battery will thank you :)
Yes I did, don't think I will be using that feature...
@@TurquoiseSunsetsYour PCX was a fantastic price. Here in Australia, the PCX costs 230,000 pesos (converted for comparison purposes). It's a well made machine. Look after it (keep it covered when not in use). Maybe get a small shed to park it in.
2 questions:
Do you have a motorcycle license?
Are you experienced in driving a motorcycle?
Yes, I have a Philippine License. Yes, I have experience riding motorcycles. I first began riding when I was a teen ager. Then later in my early thirties I purchased a Suzuki 750 Intruder and rode all over Los Angeles and the beach cities for many years. Back then ABS brakes didn't exist on motorcycles and helmets weren't required so many riders didn't even wear them. How about you John, do you ride?
@@TurquoiseSunsets I do have a Philippines motorcycle license but never really drove a motorcycle for any period of time and never in the Philippines but best of luck with your bike.
Never had that much money to exchange for peso when I lived in antipolo city phil
I wouldn’t trust that salesman, he doesn’t know squat….working for his own pocket…
Nice bike congrats
Thanks guys!
I love Honda.
John do you know the you tube Bud Brown? He lives in Dumogathi where you live.
Yes, I've known Bud Brown for a few years now and just had coffee with him three weeks ago in Dumaguete, he's a nice man.
Is that sharks tooth from Venice Beach FL?
Nearby Venice Beach in Hollywood I purchased this shark tooth from my work buddy at General Hospital Soap Opera who also makes shark tooth jewelry, back in about 2011 as I recall. I hid it away in my Jewelry box and forgot about it until recently. I found it again when we were packing for the RP and decided to start wearing it here...I do really like it.
@@TurquoiseSunsets Great! That's a big sharks tooth. We have about 3000 smaller ones and a few big. All collected in Venice Beach, Florida. Hey, maybe we'll run into you one day in Duma. Great work blogging btw.
@@Nellie-H Haha, I forgot there is also a Venice Beach Florida. If you ever make your way to Dumaguete look us up. You can always pm us on Facebook.
Robusta dark? OMG ! Double sacrilege.
@TurquoiseSunsets - Hi Mariz! Did you guys book a hotel prior to arriving at Mactan Airport, or did you book your hotel after the covid saliva test upon arrival? I, too, am unvaxxed and would like to know what to expect. Do I need to request the saliva test, or will it be readily available if I show up without an antigen test result? Thank you so much!
Hello Antonio, We did not book the hotel until we finish our saliva test at Mactan Airport and no you don't need to request the saliva test and Because you are unvaccinated they will give it to you during arrival at the airport. Here's our video when we arrive last December.

Good Video 📹 👍 👌 👏. I am moving to the Philippines 🇵🇭 in June.
New Subscriber 😊.
Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏
Thank you Ricky Lee, welcome to our channel 🙏
Get a HabuHabu seat for the entire family. 😊
?? Don't know what that is?
Is that a side car, lol?
Your are a bit vague when stating the size of the engine. 110cc, 125cc, 135cc, 150cc, etc. Does make a difference to the price.
It’s 160 cc PCX
Nice motorbike, what cc is it. You have motorbike license?
2022 Honda 160cc CVX
I’m a little surprised. Do you need to pay for the motorcycle using cash? Wouldn’t a credit card be safer? Can’t use a credit card in the PHs?
They require cash and not dealing with the credit card pays to them but sometimes you can.
My question is what happened to your 3 Wheeler
Sold it before the plandemic Dec 2019, you can check older videos from that period.
Hi you should get a n-max
I checked it out and like the Honda better.
How many cc engine?
The Japanese make everything better. I rely on the Aerox 155 and change out the CVT to add 10cc, aftermarket tires, high beams, horn and seat and you should be good to go.
You are ment to ask for cheaper price
Nice bike John, can’t go wrong with a Honda! Registration takes a long time to get done!
I know...registration is strange here and very slow.
@@TurquoiseSunsets my brother in law put on custom temporary plates that I thought were real, they were laminated plastic and looked like the real plates. After a year they went into the dmv to figure out why it was taking so long.
Hi John, thats a comfortable scooter, and got all the bells and whistles. How many cc's John? And how much was the big red Honda bike in the showroom and cc's? I rode Honda's 750cc 4 cylinder for several years as i got older before retirement. As a young man i was a motorbike Cop. Btw, good to see you have a friend in Anthony. Regards, Bob. NZ.
160 CC Daddybob. :)
How much was it?
The peso was low in 2019 and 2020
Does the salesman in Dumaguete knows what they are selling especially model and year built? They should have more training. I was in metro Manila and Cebu and almost the same knowledge exist, except for the pricey BMW in Makati which are well versed on what they are selling.
we always go to Optimum Traders much better rate
Thanks for the tip!
Cool bike😃
Why would you buy a van so the whole family can go anywhere?
We'll probably be purchasing an SUV for the entire family.
Man that's a lot of American money to exchange for peso
Do u mind if i ask how much u paid for tis bike....in pesos
It's 131k pesos
Whats the name of the bike?
2022 HONDA PCX 160CC
@@TurquoiseSunsets Im 6'4" how tall are you? You think it would be good for me?
@@sonny8746 I'm 6'0 and works good for me. I know a tall German guy who's also 6'4 who has one too, and works good for him.
“White is a girls color”…😅
Yamaha NMAX or AEROX sir
Looked at the NMAX I like the review and stats on the Honda better. :)
congratulations on your new purchase enjoy it and drive carefully he enne question, why do you withdraw so much money in the change, paying with your bank card or visa is cheaper and safer, isn't it? Greetings to your assawa and your children from a faithful follower.🏍🛵 watching from Belgium
They specifically state.they don't take any credit cards and probably due to the 3% fees it costs them. I could have done a bank transfer but I didn't want to wait a few days for bank verifications from the states. Cash is widely traded for purchases here in the RP. When we purchase our new car which will probably be well over One Million pesos I'll likely remit a bank transfer from America.. Thanks for your comment Dean!
@@TurquoiseSunsets i would use manager check for big money , a couple came out from the bank with 4,5 million pesos in cash to pay a house and they got robbed and the woman got crashed her head by a band in ... motorcycles , in full day , not far from BPI . i dont know the brand of the motorcycles .
you can buy a nearly new car for small money , if you are patient , but dont go to rusco . ask around and wait for the good . mmmh , i am speaking of 12 years ago 😁 , i dont know now how is there .
