You don't know the right people.

As has been said, the difference between big bikes and scooters is that there are relatively more "reckless" owners of scooters, simply because they're cheap, thus, younger and less educated riders can afford them.

I know quite a few people who've died on big bikes. Not only sports bikes, mind you, but cruisers, too.

RE: Safety? Between a scooter and an underbone, I'd prefer an underbone. Bigger tires, more active balance, more body control. Of course, you can go faster and get in more trouble... but then, agility is always a double-edged sword.

And they are the ones who have always been better remembered while there are also a lot of professionals who also prefer to have bikes like those, anyway, it only proves that it's not in the bike but in the rider...

ako meron na 'kong nakita, kawasaki ZX-7 yata yun, ang kinis! nakakalat sa gitna ng kalsada sa Las Pinas pero tingin ko kasalanan nu'ng bugok an XRM rider, kinain kasi yata nu'ng XRM yung linya ng ZX-7, kasi nagkabaliktad sila ng linya eh pero nasa tamang linya pa rin yung ZX while yung XRM after counterflowing, dumire-diretso sa tabi ng kalye, bale lampas pa sa linya nu'ng ZX.

well siguro kasi mas talamak ang mga Underbone/Scoots.. puro pa mga walang safety gear at kulang sa experience ang gumagamit (bata, teens, babae, manang).. karamihan pa walang license.. whereas yun mga naka BigBikes malamang may prior experience na sa maliliit ika nga e starter bikes.. its very hard to use a bigbike.. meron kami Ninja Type pero di ko magamit kasi ang bigat baka sumemplang lang ako.. maka disgrasiya pa ng iba..

while there are also a number of big bikers who have learned motorcycle riding on big bikes. Plus the number of undisciplined big bike riders is miniscule compared to the pasaways on either scooter or underbones a very likely reason why the disciplined scooterists and underboners are forgotten and the pasaway scooterists and underboners have became evident while undisciplined bigbikers are going unnoticed. So to make it short, the pasaway population of a certain motorcycle classification group is proportion to the general population of that motorcycle group so since mas maraming locally made underbones and scooters mas obvious ang pasaway smallbikers than pasaway big bikers.

sir mcp member di me, hehe..

anyway, kaya mas marami naaasidente sa underbones vs bigbike dahil na rin sa access ng mga batang ito sa mga byke na underbones, a teen na may height na 5'5'' ay hindi talaga sasakay sa bigbikes, consider na rin sa price ng brand new underbone sa brandnew bigbike.

meron din pong pasaway at mayayabang na naka bigbikes, mga naka bigbykes na walang helmet, naka shorts and sandos, at meron din mayayabang...

meron 400-600 cc
minsan meron din liter scoots.

Just a piece of advice, better hone your skills before running those bigbikes. Bigbikes have more power and much heavier so crashing them might be more fatal. Riding bikes is different from driving a car, and it is more difficult to learn how to ride than to drive so I do advice that you inquire at Honda and take the motorcycle riding course

and is it safe to ride even during the wee hours of the morning nowadays (from work or what have yous)?

pasensiya na sa tanong mga katoto

are you kidding, i wont ride a bike particularly on a UB or Scoot (maybe on big bikes) but on a smallbike... no way... the thing is when your on a bike driving on major roads, assuming going to work, by the time your arrive on your work youll be stinky or smell like burnt fumes...
