Triumph

4.6

(14)

"The triumph speed 400 and 400x are super popular and well reviewed."

"Triumph. They are solid bikes and super easy to ride."

"My Triumph Street Twin is super low."

"I'd still recommend the Speed 400 due to it only being 375lbs."

"Street twin, t100, v7, interceptor, w800"

"Get speed twin"

"Triumph street twin is easily one of the most fun and yet extremely easy to ride."

"Grab a used Bonneville T100 or new Speed 400. Great bikes."

"Trident is a good fit."

"Triumph Trident would be a good option - I'm about the same height as you and have sat on one."

Honda

"Honda CB500X."

"Gives a very comfortable riding position."

"Barako 2 (mahal pero subok na lahat, hanap ka nalang ng 2nd hand kung di aabot sa pera mo)"

"Cr500"

"CR500"

"The finish and quality was good."

"Honda Rebel 500 would be similar."

"Think Honda CB350 Lineup, Harley X440 and the Speed 400 will interest you."

"I had tried honda cb200x back then it looked good and comfortable."

"Try the Xpulse or the Honda CB200X."

Trek

4.5

(11)

"I'm usually a Spesh guy but, the trek is a better deal."

"I'd go with the trek since it has a better 105 groupset and full carbon, and is much cheaper"

"Trek full carbon is the better choice"

"I’d go with the trek. Price is good and it gives you money to buy your kit, helmet and other gear."

"At that price, go with the Trek. Great bike and you can save the extra money for a bike fit and some tri bars."

"I like that Trek, especially at that price."

"If the hardest trail you do is blue, get a hybrid. Trek FX as an example will go anywhere."

"Stick with any well established reputable brand (Giant, Trek, Kona, Specialized)."

"I think new Marlin 5's and Aggressor Experts come with 2x drive trains."

"Imo, based on price alone I’d go with the trek provided it fits fine."

Kawasaki

4.5

(11)

"My first was the ninja 650. Love it."

"The 500 is the best one there."

"Just bought a 2025 Ninja 500 and I can't say enough good things about it."

"The ninja 500 is the best first bike here."

"I would recommend the ninja 650, it's still a beginner bike while having a little bit more power."

"Used Z400/Ninja 400. Easy to fix, not too heavy on the pocket, and you can use it on the expressway. They're easy to handle."

"You can always find a Ninja 400 on FB market."

"Ninja 500 is a good in between in my opinion."

"You should definitely get a used bike."

"Kawasaki Versys 650 or 1000 if he’s not a tool."

Yamaha

4.8

(10)

"A YZ250F will MORE than pull you around."

"250f"

"I started on a 2010 yz250f. A 250f is plenty of power for a big beginner."

"Id get a wr250f personally…you would get more smiles-per-mile in the end."

"The Yamaha deal is prob the best bet if you want the bike to feel more like a bike and don't want to use a throttle."

"Best thing for hills is going to be a mid drive motor. So grab a Yamaha Crosscore for $1200."

"XSR 700 all day everyday"

"I’d suggest you consider the XSR700 as it is affordable and will handle the faster commute."

"Yamaha MT07 is nice and comfortable."

"Yea a MT 07 with a lowering kit will drop the height by 30mm."
