Re: The 125 is one of the most ripped off bikes he
dcriverguy; I've rented these 125's quite abit, and I've never had a problem, but like previous posters have said; KEEP IT LOCK AT ALL TIMES WHEN NOT RIDING IT!. As for the person that made the suggestion of buying it then selling it later.....in my opinion the paperwork is not worth it! PERIOD. First you would have to find someone that wants one that day, then you have to be sure they are going to have all the money....and these guys are not stupid...they know your plane is leaving and you have to be on it....no matter what! Plus the time to get all the proper documents in order.....foreget it! The bikes will go for about 400 pesos per day, and if you are going to take it for 5 or so days, then you can cut a deal....probably around 300 per day...so that'll work out to about 1500 pesos...so about 160 bucks....so don't waste your time. Another thing is sometimes it's better just to get the bike first thing in the morning......do your day....then take it back at night....unless you are going to make your trip exclusively a bike riding trip.Always go over your bike and point out any marks,scratches, broken cables,broken speedos, and so on.....just so you and the renter are on the same page. Most places will give you a lock, so as it can be locked up. I always lock the steering and put the lock on the sprocket and chain it to a pole,tree, or something that can't be taken with the bike....although this will only slow down a thief, not stop him. Make sure you check the tires, cause it will rain most days...if only for a few minutes...and the roads become quite oily for the first few minutes of the rain and you need good rubber. If you are an experienced rider check the things you normally would and you'll be ok. Only buy your fuel at gas stations and not from ppl selling it in beer bottles and such. E-mail me if you have any questions.
This is only from my experience....therefore it may not be the way it really is or isn't
Take Care....Be careful....and have fun....and PLEASE let us know about that coffee!!!
