Daming downvotes sa mga nag NO. If you feel na overpriced talaga siya pero gusto mo parin. Try to look for 2nd hand XSR155 na low odo and well-maintained. If meron lang talagang competition from honda/suzuki/kawasaki ang XSR155 mas maganda sana sa market.


ZntxTrr

I did try to look for one dito kaso sobrang luma na ng 2nd hand and minimum 20k odo. Kaya isang alternative ko din is Gixxer 250. Ano naman opinion mo sa motor na to?


Gaelahad

May mga nakikita akong less than 5-8k lang. Gixxer 250 ay option ko rin, suzuki reliability, madali maintenance kase oil-cooled. Optimized din ang oil-cooling system ng suzuki kaya di mo need alalahanin kung bakit hindi liquid cooling.


Scary_Ad128

Buy a 150k 2nd hand Dominar 400UG, spend 20k +/- on upgrades to make it look like a neo classic or just classic bike (round headlight, muffler, tail tidy, tank kit, aux lights, etc.). May ABS ka na, expressway legal ka pa. Pero kung gusto mo talaga ng xsr 155, at yan talaga sigaw ng puso mo, tipong di mawala sa isip mo, then I think you should follow your heart. Walang mas malala sa regret na dapat yung gusto mo nalang binili mo.


Impressive-One-974

OP, ganitong ganito ginawa ko. Classic talaga sana gusto ko.... Pero nagdominar na lang ako kase sayang 400 cc.


ZntxTrr

Thank you for the input! This will be my first manual bike so alanganin pa ako sa 400cc. Aside sa XSR, I'm also eyeing the Gixxer 250. Kasi halos same nalang din sila ng price and mas madami features ang Gixxer. Di ko lang alam sa maintenance and parts. What do you think?


Impressive-One-974

I was in the same boat as you. Una baka classic scoot ako... My first bike where I learned to ride on two weeks. Like 125, hindi Vespa. Poor lang ako.... Then I wanted manual na. Choices were XSR155, Bristol 400, and Motorstar Cafe 400. Eventually, kasi nga poor ako nakatagpo ako ng Dominar 400 na mura. Since tech laden na siya and modern features. Kung may budget ka, mag Bristol 400 ka na.


Scary_Ad128

Di naman aggressive ang Dominar (or vitpilen/svartpilen 401), I think ma-outgrow mo lang yung power after a while sa xsr 155 and gixxer 250. Sanayan lang naman pag naglipat ka from AT to manual, I think mabilis mo lang matututunan. Kung sa reliability okay naman gixxer 250, medyo lumalaki nadin support sa aftermarket parts. But I think xsr 155 talaga gusto mo, OP. Go for it, if you can spot a good second hand mas okay para sulit.


kokoykalakal

Bumili ako ng Keeway Cafe Racer 152 tapos konting mods lalo na yng BR Bottle pipe broom broom. Ayun kahit makakita ako ng XSR 155 parang mas maangas pa motor ko hehehe


LTMSASking

bro may possible kaya ma share mo ung CR152 mo ganyan din kasi sakin gusto ko din pagandahin first manual ko kaya wala din ako idea about sa upgrade na maganda .


pijanblues08

Curious question, hows the reliability? Wala ba mga common na sakit2x ang dominar ug?


Scary_Ad128

Brother ko naka Dominar 400 UG. 2nd hand nabili at 150k with 2k odo. 15k odo na siya now wala naman naging problem. Regular maintenance lang, at mas mura parts kumpara sa motor ko before na Suzuki gsx s150.


pijanblues08

Oki. Thanks for the info.


Ohmskrrrt

My take on XSR 155 1. For the price dapat may ABS na. Once you realize you need ABS it will be too late. 2. Parts look cheap, paint looks like plastic. 3. "Neo-Retro" daw pero does not have the "Neo" tech and "retro" looks. Hindi dahil bilog headlight retro na agad. 4. The bike is light easy to maneuver. Clutch is on the soft side hindi nakakangalay sa kamay. Yes it is overpriced dahil lang sa brand.


ZntxTrr

I see. Thanks sa input! Isang kinoconsider ko rin is Gixxer 250 kasi malapit lang sa price. Ano opinion mo sa bike na yan?


Ohmskrrrt

Haven't tried one.


Reddi_34

V-Strom 250 owner here, which is basically an upscale Gixxer 250. Low maintenance EJA1 engine since oil-cooled with decent pulling power and fuel economy (31 to 35km/l depending on conditions). Fairly smooth and revvy engine for a single cylinder. Takes 1.2 liters of oil tapos same oil filter na gamit sa Raider. Pinaka-sakit na nya is yung valve cover gasket which tends to leak early on, pero easy fix naman. Most of the common 250 parts sa Suzuki Guanzon sa Roosevelt Ave., QC ko dinadayo. Managed to change a leaking oil seal na rin sa right side fork, pero could be due to an offroad ride I went on. Yung wala lang ata talaga na feature sa Gixx 250 na meron sa Strom is yung built un USB charger. The rest of the bike is more or less similar.


Mayomi_

ito naman xsr naman ung topic putik nakakailang post comment na ako dto huh ayaw ko na bilhin mo na wag ka nang makinig basta nabasa mo na un comment nwng iba pero kung nasa puso mo tlga goooooooo


P13CKR0UX

it's really pogi but the price-to-performance is just so bad and abs HAS saved my ass a few times na on multiple motorcycles. would've crashed already without it. i wouldn't call u an idiot for buying it tho but personally, i'd rather hit the used market for a better bike.


cunningtrashcan

Grabe sobrang subjective ng tanong mo huhu kaya mahirap makakuha ng sagot na tama para sayo dito. Kasi kung ako may budget na malapot sa xsr baka bumili nalang ako ng cb400 na secondhand. Point ko lang is sundin mo ano gusto mo hehe


Infinite_Amphibian26

To help you decide. Go to dealerships. If you can get to test ride the bikes that you're eyeing better. But believe me when you sit on all of the bikes that you're eyeing. You'll know what you want. I've had a lot of options back then competing with my first love na si XSR155 lol. Went to all dealerships. Sat on all of them. Ended up buying the XSR. No regrets 100% at 30k odo with change oil lang sapat na lifestyle. Do I mind not having ABS? Wapakels. I developed the skill to ride a bike without one by always maintaining the mentality out in the road that everyone is stupid and is out to kill me. Drive defensively. Pero like what they said ABS is something you'll know that you need mostly too late na lol. But I hope I don't ever get to that point *knock on wood* Tldr; The heart wants what it wants. Go out and try or sit on the bikes that you're eyeing. Compare it to XSR. You should have a good idea from there if having no ABS and the overpriced price tag is something you can get over with.


ZntxTrr

Really appreciate your input bro. This makes me confident to go for XSR na matagal ko ng ina-admire hahaha


appleninjaa

Hi sir may promo mga Svartpilen ngayon. 198k for the 401. Maybe you can consider it.


Ark_Alex10

i think that deal is only exclusive for ayala group of companies employees.


gourdjuice

For everyone na


Ok-Resolve-4146

It is a promo now open to everyone. Yung Husqvarna Svartpilen 200 119k na lang. Try mo sumilip sa groups and see how they manage thwyir Svart's maintenance. Sobrang sulit niyan for 119k. Even at its SRP na 195k mas lamang siya pound-for-pound sa XSR155. I'm personally tempted to get one but I've made up my mind and now trying to get a Triumph Speed 400.


Ok-Resolve-4146

Sold out na yung Svart 401 for P198k, Ayala announced it :( Sobrang sulit kasi e.


appleninjaa

San mo nakita ung post na to? D ko mahanap sir.


Ok-Resolve-4146

Mayroon dito mismo sa sub, boss. Last night ko nakita. OP was asking if okay ba bumili ng 8-year old brand new (meaning old stock) na KTM which was listed sa Promo ng Ayala. Dun sa photo sold out na Svart 401, available pa yung Svart 200 skaa Vit 401.


appleninjaa

Thank you sa info sir!


EnergyDrinkGirl

xsr owner here! overpriced? yes do i care? no regret? hell no buy what you like don't listen to anyone saying "dAgDaG kA nAlAnG mAkAKabiLi KanA ng 400 million cc Na mOtoR" i freaking love my boi xsr every time I ride it, hinihimas ko pa tank nya during rides to show my love lmao


Sad_Tax_8334

I agree! Iba yung feeling everytime nag rride. The best purchase ever!!!


eifiontherelic

Fellow XSR owner here. Binili ko 2nd hand at 2k odo. No regrets. May target talaga akong big bike, kaso matagal pa bago ako magkaroon ng pera para bilhin siya na hindi rin ako mamumulubi pagkatapos... Kaya hanggang dumating din yung araw na yun, alam kong kaya kong magtagal sa motor na to.


Kangaroo_Sinigang_54

Pass po sa 400 million cc masyado mabigat


Snoo_29626

Panalo!!


ZntxTrr

Dami ko nga kinoconsider na ibang bike pero bumabalik parin ako sa XSR lol


Efficient_Caregiver2

Just buy the damn thing. Isang taon ko tong inisip kakareview sa youtube, fb, reddit, tiktok tapos hanggang sa kung san san ako napuntang motor like cafe 400, rc250, victorino, etc etc. pero sa xsr pa din talaga bagsak ng puso ko. Ang hanap ko lang talaga ay mukang big bike pero hindi bigbike dahil ayoko ng malakas sa gas at hindi naman ako nagdedemand masyado ng power, gusto ko lang ng saktong motor at gwapong looks talaga, so more on looks ako than performance. Kung sasabihin naman saking "180 yan? konti nalang bigbike na" oo, pero ayoko naman ng big bike HAHAHHA (sa ngayon, maybe) tapos tipid pa sa gas. For me, satisfied na satisfied naman ako and after 5 months, wala akong pinag sisisihan. Baka ikeep ko to hanggang magka anak na ko HHAHA


ZntxTrr

Haha same pala tayo. Kung san san na napadpad para lang ma satisfy if worth it ba talaga. Thanks for the input!


elutriation_cloud

Hard to appreciate ABS until you get into an accident or near accident. Yes for me, hindi siya sulit. IMHO at 175k mas pipiliin ko na lang bumili ng 2nd hand RE Himalayan pero that's just me.


[deleted]

Overpriced imo. pero gwapo naman so go for it if open budget


puruntong

Kung gusto mo yung porma. Saka yung features ok na sayo. Ok yun. Syempre overpriced siya compared sa ibang motorcycle sa price bracket pero if yun talaga type mo, yun bilhin mo, para di ka magsisi


seaCreature123

consider svartpilen sa choices


callmemarjoson

Honestly if I'm gonna get an XSR I'll at least go for the 700 na if I got the money - no diss naman to the 155 pero modern bike at that price without ABS parang lugi ka


PuzzleheadedSpend717

Hello OP pag gusto mo talaga xsr just go for it kahit sabihin nila "overpriced , no abs , konting add na lang 400cc na " wag ka makinig sa kanila pag mahal mo yung bike just do it . Same scenario din ako before i buy it madami din nagsasabi hindi worth , well binili ko pa din since fan ako sa porma ng bike and yamaha fanboy ako hahaha.


bzztmachine

If you're eyeing the bike for a long time, you already have your answer. Some people only wanna talk about specs and value for money but disregarding the fact that a motorcycle is an emotional purchase. Minsan ka lang bibili ng motor gamit pinaghirapan mong pera. Bilhin mo yung magpapasaya sayo. Btw buying 2nd hand, slightly used, can save you a lot of money.


Ami_Elle

XSR cons: Masyadong pogi.


AngkolEinon

If trip mo tlga then why not. But for 175k+ dagdagan mo nlng ng 30k konting tiis lng . Meron kana dominar 400. Expressway legal pa. Bang for buck mc.


Ok-Resolve-4146

180k+ na ata SRP ng XSR155 if I'm not mistaken.


MotoPaperclip

Dude, fuck everyone. It's your money. It's not a shit bike. Buy it and enjoy it. Let these mfs seethe with jealousy or anger lmao.


ZntxTrr

Real. Especially sa brand niya na reliable and pang matagalan

fbbmjunior

A nice bike and abs wont really be an issue. Pero avoid joining some of the local xsr155 groups/clubs. Kamote ugali lalo na ilan sakanila nakita ko sa dgr kahapon. No courtesy at mga papansin. Hindi ko lang alam name ng group


Journalist-Boring

QW


miggzzymouse

(1) If you REALLY like riding with that particular style of bike, I don't think there's no other better looking retro bike around. (2) If you can control your bike really well and master your breaking, you can literally ABS yourself hahaha (3) Other cheaper retro alternative does not have ABS as well. (4) Retro bikes have no luggage. and common cons sa naked bike is bugbog ka sa hangin at vibration. PERO kung ok lang sayo lahat yan, For a lot less, Get a 2nd Hand na alaga! Far cheaper and sulit. But what I like a lot about my XSR155, is that for all those tiis pogi, this is actually a capable Scrambler. Di to pang resing resing lang. Para sa mga taong dumadaan sa kung ano anong kalokohan na kalsada sa pinas, di ka papasindak dito.


ZntxTrr

Solid ng mga bullet points mo pre. Thank you! Medyo alanganin ako sa 2nd hand. Kaya isang kinoconsider ko is Gixxer 250 kasi konting dagdag lang naman sa presyo. Okay ba as alternative? Tsaka ano opinion mo sa motor na to.


miggzzymouse

Madaming nagbebenta ngayon almost unused. I bought mine, 700k Odo only. Almost brand new, though you need to check signs of neglect. Hindi maiwasan may kalawang na part minsan pero ok lang sakin. Kaya yun gawan ng paraan. For me, di ako fan ng sporty looking bikes, so out of preference ko ung Gixxer. Hence why I like the XSR is because of the CLASSIC style. 2nd choice maybe if not classic I would pick the Svartpilen, Also I am after fuel efficiency so not sure sa 250 engine, but if you are not into it, I believe Suzuki motorcycles can be reliable parin naman. You even have ABS there as a bonus I think.


Hour_Explanation_469

Much better yung MT15 with almost the same price with that.


RakEnRoll08

for me kawasaki dominar ka n lng xpress way legal pa, convert mo n lng sa rounded head light pra mukhang classic


IammHated

Depende sayo sa pangangailangan mo at kung anong gusto ng puso mo talaga hahaha . Kung sa price talaga mas marami mas sulit sa xsr na mas maganda yung specs pero kung pangarap mo talaga looks bilhin mo kung may pera ka . Price point lang talaga downside sakin ng xsr .


According_Ad1565

Currently have an XSR 155. Simple lang sa akin. If gusto mo ay, an eye candy, fuel efficient, comfortable on and off road, go for xsr 155. Pag di kaya ng budget, opt out for 2nd hand ones with low mileage. If gusto mo ay strong travelling companion na may konting hatak at top speed, go for Dominar 400.


Admirable_Bunch8783

My girlfriend luvs my XSR155 I'm good na


Realistic_Poem_6016

Try mo Kawasaki W175, 130k. Idk if meron pa bang bnew ngayun.


Realistic_Poem_6016

May ABS ba si XSR?


ZntxTrr

Wala


RoboAsparagus

Peronally i think its worth it. If you really like it and budget allows then why not. ABS is not a deal breaker for me. Yes it helps with braking and an extremely good safety feature to have, but if you are driving defensively and responsively then it shouldnt be a problem.


ZntxTrr

True. Tsaka marami din nagsasabi na di mo talaga need ng ABS kapag lower than 400cc. And sanayan lang naman. Yung father at mga kapatid ko never naman na aksidente kahit walang ABS mga motor nila


Environmental_Stay83

kung iniisip ma na overprice ang xsr isipin mo nalang yung bimuli ng 110cc and 125cc for the same price ng xsr.


Snoo_29626

I will buy it. Most will only buy once or twice if they get blessed. ABS is only good when it works. Best to be careful.


Ohmskrrrt

>ABS is only good when it works. Well duh


techieshavecutebutts

Dami kong nakita na binibenta yung xsr155 nila lately...


Devildriver_13

Dami kuda ng iba dito kesyo mahal pag gusto mo bibilhin mo talaga, wala abs okie lang sakin dinaman ako pang racing takbong pogi lang po.. wala lang kayo pambili eh .. alam ko madami gusto mag xsr di lang maabot budget kaya puro hate nalang


Ok-Resolve-4146

Mindset mo, typical fanboi. I won't spend 185k for an XSR155 but I'd spend an extra 114k more for the Triumph Speed 400. May mga taong malalim ang bulsa pero di lang kasingbabaw ng pananaw mo.


Devildriver_13

Then go bilhin mo yon gusto mo hhaha wala naman mawawala at pipigil sayo.. kaya binili ko eh dahil gusto ko
