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. :)

Not at all. Malambot.

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

yeah I can feel the vibrations starting at around 4500rpm but not too bad. the clacking noises are annoying tho. I brought it to the dealer to check where it's coming from. They said it's from the rear brake and should disappear after cleaning. I haven't heard the clacking recently but it could be because I'm already used to it.

@@marconinelives the clacking in mine is more engine related as it changes with rpm. Vibrations for me start weak at around 4k but go to vibrator from 5k onward

I'm not sure actually. But it's brand new and purchased this year.

Hello! Ayos naman siya sa traffic, wag lang yung talagang endurance level na traffic. Mababa yung center of gravity niya tapos mababa yung seat height so hindi masyadong problem yung weight at madali din isingit. Although nakakapagod pag puro traffic tapos mainit. Sobrang lakas din nya sa gas pag stop and go traffic unlike pag highways matipid sya. Conclusion, ok siya na weekend bike for long rides. Possible sya pang daily pero may better options specially considering yung traffic satin.

I agree

yes medyo narrow nga yung headlight nya. ok naman yung liwanag, sa video exaggerated yung dilim.

It's a gopro hero 10

I don't have the exact number but it feels significantly lower than highway mileage

Yeah sounds good!

Yes

Thanks for the great inputs! Will keep them in mind. I personally am not keen on adding too much mods on this bike. It's perfect as it is. I've only installed a radiator guard so far and planning on getting a pannier rail on one side for my bag. Probably a leather saddle too. Nothing else apart from those.

Thanks for subscribing! And thank you for the insights. I never thought of it that way and you are right, I should add that to the titles for people who are not looking for too much detail. And that is what my vision is for my channel like, give people a sense of what it's like to ride different bikes. Enjoy your soon-to-be T100! It's definitely a keeper. Watch out for my next video where I installed a separate audio recorder for the exhaust and you can here it better. Ride safe!

Hey man! Thanks, I try my best to be as defensive as possible. These are great questions and hopefully I can answer them clearly. 1. T100 vs T120 vs SpeedTwin 900 - for me the T100 is the sweet spot. It's lighter than the T120 which makes it easier to maneuver. The engine feels great, not underpowered at all. Although the T100 doesn't have a cruise control, 6th gear, and riding modes but honestly, I don't mind. Except maybe having a cruise control would be nice. Also, T120 has a bit more power but you can't really go that fast on these type of bikes because of the wind resistance you'll feel past 100Km/H. The speed twin 900 is almost exactly the same as the T100 except that it has a higher revving engine and a more agressive riding position but overall same. 2. Toll cost - this whole stretch is Php214 (~USD3.8). Not too bad. 3. Traffic police and Speed traps - They are there but I've never been chased or stopped. Maybe because I dont ride that fast. I only go up to like 120Km/H max. I think they start apprehending above 140. 3. Cost of ownership - My bike is less than a year old so I can't say for sure. But my last maintenance cost me around Php6000 (-USD100) for an oil change. Though, the next interval is after a year or 16,000Kms. Insurance is quite high like Php30000 (~USD540) annually. 4. Dealers' pricing - What they advertise is the cash price for just the bike. Then there is an additional fee on top to register your bike (around USD120? for a 3-year registration) then that's it. If you are going for financing, then it will be alot more expensive and rates depend on agencies. Hope to see you on the road!

Thanks! that really gives me a clearer picture. The fun part of watching your videos is that, yeah, I would ride that bike, and I'd ride like that. Hope to get settled later this year, gear up, and rediscover the old country. cheers.@@marconinelives

Glad you enjoyed it! The Bonneville exhausts sound great. I'm going to try to improve the sound recording so it's extra satisfying.

Good question. I'm assuming you are referring to the double yellow with a solid white in the first half of the video. They are called Mixed Double Lane Divider. In this road, it leads to an exit. You are correct, no one should be crossing it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Bonifacio Global City. It's a business district in the Philippines.

Thank you. I'm just using a GoPro Hero 10 mounted on my helmet's chin.

Oh no. That was a not the best way to start the lunar new year but, glad to hear you are ok! Ride safe

🤝

that's so cool! this is one of its grandchild

I agree! It's light and quick.

Only 7 months I think. I'd say both T100 and T120 are not for like daily commutes. they're heavy and the gear ratios are too long. T120 is heavier tho so T100 is a bit easier for daily commutes.

Therapeutic ✌️

because the guy needs bread.

oh wow. 155? meron ako din xsr 155. fun bike!!
