Choosing a motorbike that’s 400cc and above is important when considering express roads, especially in the Luzon region (Manila). Express roads take less time than highways, but perhaps, you are the type of adventure enthusiast who would actually enjoy a longer ride to observe the country? If that’s you, just consider the fact that you won’t be able to use express roads, with less than 400cc.
Are you a beginner traveling around the Philippines? Don’t worry! You can travel around all sorts of islands with motorbike sizes such as 125cc, 150cc and so on.
