Moving around the city has become more difficult because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to distance themselves from others and to keep themselves safe, a lot of commuters have done away with public transport and resorted to acquiring their own vehicles instead, the most common of which are motorcycles.
Entry-level two-wheelers are a popular choice for daily use. So, to help buyers out there, we came up with a list of eight affordable motorcycles that they can buy right now for under P110 per day or under P3,500 per month. We picked two models each from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki.
The computations were made using the Robinsons Bank Motorcycle Loan Calculator and were based on a 10% downpayment and on 36-month terms. Take note that these figures are subject to change and may vary from one bank or distributor to another.
