BMW C400GT (English)

[@tarmacsurfer101]

I own this motorcycle and live in the US. I've taken it on the highway as well as through the twists & turns of back roads and must say it truly is a comfortable riding experience. To put things into perspective, I've owned big 600+ CC cruisers, currently own a Ninja 400, and have to say this is the smoothest and most comfortable bike I've ridden. The Ninja will beat you up after a couple of hours, and the cruisers were just heavy and never felt nimble. This is what riding is all about. I don't have to think about shifting gears, it handles very well, and after hours of riding, my wrists never feel like I've been powerlifting for 3 hours... All I'm saying is, this is a smooth riding motorcycle.

It seems like a wonderful choice. My only concern will be the suspension since some of the roads we ride are terrible. What is your experience on this please.

[@tarmacsurfer101]

@@janimara3578 It's fine. I've run over mild pot holes, sewage covers, bumps in the road, and they're all mild compared to the sport bikes I've owned. I recently did a 3hr night ride through town and the city, and came back feeling fine. I've done similar runs with my Ninja and after an hour, I was ready to throw in the towel. All in all, I would highly recommend this bike!

Best scooter review I have ever seen! Great video production skills!

[@glenevans2775]

Excellent review! As a 400GT owner, I can highly recommend this scooter. It is a very good all year round mode of transport. It is fast enough for peak hour traffic, and it has amazing headlights for night riding. See if you can get a test ride.

I have my eye on the Triple Black at my dealer .He has given me a nice discount since i have bought many bikes.i sold all of my bikes and i am just riding scooters .I have a Vespa Sprint but want something faster and more luxurious . Heated Grips and seat etc .I think it's an Awesome machine !!

[@mountainbiker2616]

Concerns I have with this bike, 1) no way of locking wheels or transmission, parking on a slope with front wheel lower than rear wheel may cause the bike to roll forward and off the side stand. 2) center stand mount is cast piece of engine block. The force of the pivot and stop will place high stress to a minimally reinforced cast bracket. The result may break the bracket/engine interface. If this occurs an engine replacement will be required. Both examples stated are from personal experiences with one of my 2 BMW 400 GT. This with just over 2k miles. I would steer clear of this bike.

[@rekdi8048]

Zach, I hope an initiative of bringing down the 400cc rule on our expressways. There are a number of our riding lawmakers who can help. I don not know the basis of the 400cc minimum but as I have seen in other countries, lower displacement can use freeways. This move will give a lot of comfort to most of the pinoy riders. Just an example, It takes about 3 an a half hours going to Subic and enduring the heat in traffic jams town after town. Sayang kasi the BMW GT, XMAX, and other 300cc scoots will benefit from this not to mention 250cc inline fours

[@leoparman7933]

Yep sooo outdated rule, who even came up with that rule

[@petesmt]

Very well done video. Better than those bigger production houses

[@anonymoustraveler9746]

Hindi lang dapat engine displacement ang basis ng expressway restriction, dapat yung weight din ng motorcycle. Pag masyado kasi magaan, hindi na stable yung takbo sa higher speed lalo na kapag may katabi ka pa na truck or bus, itutulak ka ng hangin sideways. Okay na siguro yung 249cc pataas tapos may weight na at least 150kg para safe. Underbone rider ako for almost 15 years, I don't think those 150cc bikes are meant for cruising at 100kph for a long period of time. Ninja 400 nga minsan natutulak pa ng hangin e yung mga underbone pa kaya? Just my 2 cents.

[@not4mike]

It's probably one of the reasons why 250cc motorcycles were recommended and anything below 250cc is automatically not going to be considered anymore, end of the discussion. Regardless, the 250cc is just an idea.. a dream.. a wish.. until the lawmakers agree and vote accordingly to allow any changes to the current 400cc rule on our Expressways.

[@rohanes]

Damn, for that price I would've expected some CR loophole like what KTM and Kawasaki/Bajaj does on their 373/399cc bikes.

[@elvinbertcorvera1884]

Should be named C350 GT. I find it a bit misleading and pretentious it was named 400 when it is only 349cc. Regardless of how much power the engine can make, it is still a 349cc.

[@onrsi3469]

My suggestion is 150 or 250cc can enter the expressway but there should be a different training or license to enter the expressway which can be presented prior entering the tolls. I have a 125cc motorcycle here in abroad and no problem at all in expressways. What matters the most is the attitude.

[@DOOMPASSERS]

This should be on top or pinned.

[@jayd.3946]

150cc is too light on the expressways.

[@leoparman7933]

Yep... Keep them in one lane.. mas dangerous pa sa bayan bayan dumating, marami lubak, tricycle tumatawid na tao, trucks na impatient.

[@not4mike]

Motorcycles have different engine displacements, transmission options, braking power, handling, and driving convenience, on what the manufacturer has originally designed, intended, and have tested for them to be used. But don't simply base the top speed of your motorcycle as a valid reason, that it's enough basis for it to be allowed on the Expressways. Aside from the weight and handling of the motorcycle at faster speeds, you have to consider other factors i.e. cruising speed and overtaking speed that's not going to take a toll on the motorcycle's engine (not all motorcycles are designed to run consistently at very fast cruising speeds), we also need to consider the different types of braking systems used on each motorcycle to minimize accidents on the Expressways (because if a motorcycle would skid out of control due to sudden braking and if it doesn't have ABS for example - the driver and/or passenger would be at harm's way from getting trampled on by other oncoming vehicles). By the way, don't get me wrong now... I also have a 150cc motorcycle, but I have no illusions of using that on the Expressways. Not that I'm afraid to do so, but it doesn't make sense for me to justify allowing my 150cc motorcycle to go for such long stretches of the Expressway if it's not really designed and meant to be driven at consistently faster speeds. Although I somehow disagree with the reason why the 400cc rule was conceived, I also advocate for allowing a suitable lower engine displacement, but not to the point of allowing almost all the motorcycles (that are designed to be driven more within the city or on smaller width and slower traffic on other alternate roads), to be allowed on the Expressways. On that note, if only we could have a "real dedicated motorcycle lane" (as mentioned by others already and is actually being used in other countries), it would definitely be a lot safer for everyone using either a 2-wheeled, 4-wheeled (or more) vehicles on our roads.

@@Cros-BLC personally I do not think of what Soniel said as displacement=action, because in Marilaque alone, a lot of high-displacement bikes endanger other riders with their careless driving such as overtaking on double-yellow lane roads - and they sometimes do that in groups. To me it’s just that there are way less big bikes in the country than there are lower-displacement bikes, and even if all big bikes are driven by kamotes (and they aren’t, just as not all riders using low-displacement bikes are kamotes), that makes less kamotes in the expressways, relatively speaking.

Cant imagine that day when more and more smaller ccs will be on the expressways, and will behave the same way as they do on the national roads :( Thats disastrous to be honest. Unless there’ll be a stricter licensing exam, and stricter execution as well of road regulations. For now, not my cup of tea.
