- This is my first proper long rider with MotorRepublic. Great bunch of people also, great bikes. We are on our way to Diwata Nature Resort in San Pablo Laguna. This is the SLEX and STAR tollway leg. It took about 30 mins from Eton to Balete exit in STAR Tollway. We're not speeding at all.
Hello! Just watched majority of your ride POV videos. Pretty great! Been eyeing this bike for a while. Just wanted to ask how your T100 is holding up after a few months? Are there any notable problems you've encountered?
I have this bike for a year already. Honestly still feels brand new. No issues whatsoever apart from the clicky noises in the rear tyre. Brought it to Triumph to check what's causing it, they said it's the rear brake and just needs cleaning. Now the clicky noise is gone.
Great bike.
@@marconinelives Thank you so much! On the fence really if I'd get this one or the speed twin. I'd try to get more info about the twin but thanks for your input! Will definitely help me on deciding which one I'd buy
@@marconinelives Hello again! Just wanted to ask if you got the t100 at the BGC branch or GH branch? And how were their services so far? Mixed reviews kasi from both BGC and GH
@kratosassassin5234 @kratosassassin5234 BGC branch but they are both under the same group. After sales is quite bad. It's taking them forever to order the parts needed to fix my bike. So I dropped my bike last June and got some cosmetic damages on the left side. Nothing major except for the bent gear shifter. It's now 3+ months of waiting for the parts and still nothing. Very difficult to get updates from their staff too.
I got feedback from other owners too. One guy said a spare key took 3 months to arrive. I heard one case same as me but for a Triumph Trident, 4 months and parts are still incomplete.
So yeah, great bikes but after sales is terrible.
@@marconinelivesdamn did not expect bad after sales from them. Sayang na you still can’t use the bike after several months. Will definitely take this into consideration! Thank you!
Just started in motorcycling and I've got my speed 400 a week ago, I haven't have my ORCR yet but I do ride at late night so I can avoid checkpoints around commonwealth area and so that I could feel the bike and doing some break in. I've gone to Triumph Greenhills twice, first I paid my reservation for my bike and second for claiming it. I asked the agent on same occasions for Bonnie T100 but they say they don't have stock atm, coz T100s according to them sells like hot cakes. I know in myself that this would be my next bike and my end game bike even. just opted myself saving more for this bike as first I need to start at smaller cc and second it's really pricey, but I think I would be getting this bike for the next few years. did you do reservation for the bike?
Hey man, congrats on the Speed 400! How is it?
To answer your question, yes I did pre-order my T100. They asked for Php100K down and took around 6 months. They will say 2-3 months but it was actually 6. It was a long wait. My ORCR took another 3 months. You can ask them for you MV file number so you can have a temporary plate made and it will at least give you the peace of mind to ride around.
See you on the road. Ride safe!
@@marconinelives hey man, enjoying the bike so far. I felt a bit naughty last night and test its power and boy it is capable. just don't like the super short gear ratio from 1st gear to 2nd gear and a bit of 2nd gear to 3rd gear. that why almost all the time I'm in 3rd gear. but all in all the bike's great. obviously haven't tried it in expressways yet but I guess it will do good.
btw may I know about the T100 as well?
ride safe brother.
Short gears must be annoying in traffic.
My T100 is still great 1 year in. Actually feels better because it's already completed its break in period and can rev it higher than 4k. Gears are quite long. 1st to 2nd is like 0-60kph. So in the city i rarely reach 3rd but on open roads this is fun.
@@marconinelives yeah, short gear ratio is a bit annoying but since this is my first bike I'm getting used to it.
and you say T100 1st gear is 0-60kph? what? so you mean you almost always stay at 1st gear in Manila heavy traffic? would it not hurt the bike? I mean with kind of traffic that we have, pretty much manual bike riders would almost always stay in first gear but what if you already have a space to pull the throttle and gun away, I mean say you're running at 10 - 20kph in traffic congestion then when you have a clear road you still have like 30-40kph left before switching to 2nd gear. I mean 50-60kph is already fast. with my bike I should switch to 2nd gear right away so that my engine would not complain. literally I need to switch up in split seconds.
yeah 0-60 on 1st is really possible if i want to get up to speed quickly. but yeah i shift to 2nd at like 30-40 for a smoother ride. so in manila traffic i just go 1-2, rarely 3 and up. besides, this is too heavy for day-to-day in the city anyway so i just stick to scooters. :)
