Fuel prices continue to shoot up. And if recently proposed tax reforms will push through, the prices of pickups—vehicles that were left unaffected by the TRAIN Law—might also see significant increases. This is why motorcycles are becoming a very practical option these days.
We’re sure there are some of you out there that are already thinking about pulling the trigger on a brand-new two-wheeler right now. We don’t blame you. In fact, if you still haven’t made your decision yet, we’re here to help you out.
We’ve put together here 10 of the most affordable offerings from Honda Philippines (HPI), Yamaha Motor Philippines (YMPH), and Suzuki Philippines (SPH). All of these are entry-level scooters that fall under the P80,000 SRP mark.
If you’re not keen on paying with cold, hard cash, we’ve also made computations for you. Based on the Robinsons Bank Motorcycle Loan Calculator, if you purchase any of these bikes through financing, the monthly amortization will be right around P4,000. This is with a 10% down payment on a 36-month payment term.
