Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 Special '22 | Taste Test
Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 Special '22 | Taste Test
Almost every mainstream bike manufacturer wants to take on the bestselling benchmark: the BMW R12xx GS series. Heck, at one point (2017-2019) Honda had TWO ‘Premium Full-Size Adventure Touring’ bikes!!! One was CRF1000L Africa Twin [https://youtu.be/nVTOezii9QA], and the forgotten VFR1200X Crosstourer [https://youtu.be/xXcbOC0rnqo].
Now, at its R1250 GS form; BMW did not expect this...A HARLEY-DAVIDSON ADVENTURE BIKE!!! Almost everyone went speechless when it debuted in concept form back in 2018. Now here we are!
This time I get to ride the fully-loaded, top-spec model 1250 Special. This spec has an adaptive suspension the lowers itself on standstill, crash bars, skid plate, and a center stand all standard in this trim!
Since I've ridden the Standard model [https://youtu.be/nVTOezii9QA] as a baseline, will the higher cost and added toys make a bit of a difference between the two PanAms? Either way, I am very excited I get to ride the PanAm!

Suzuki GSX-R150 '19 | Taste Test
Suzuki GSX-R150 '19 | Taste Test
When you think about the Suzuki GSX-R; you might think MotoGP rider Alex Rins, or those bikes doing some unsafe and illegal stuff, a good daily sport bike, or even "a real man's bike."
The Suzuki GSX-R series is already engrained to every normie and enthusiasts alike! With the popular GSX-R600, to the powerful GSX-R1000, the beginner-focused GSX-R125, and the iconic GSX-R750. But in the developing countries, one GSX-R variant exists that the rest of the world missed out, and that is the GSX-R150.
The GSX-R150 might serve as a step-up from the usual "Underbone King," the Raider R150 series. Other than the obvious differences, they both share the same engine. Basically, you get the "bad-ass" looks of the GSX-R600 with the efficiency as the R150 especially in the Philippines.
Of course, this sport bike is marketed as one of those 'premium small bikes' as it is priced around PHP160k (USD3,200) a bit pricey especially compared to other 200 or even some 300cc bikes made in India and China!
Being a curious monkey as I always am, I was fortunate enough to take this bike for a short spin to get the feel and parking lot dynamics of this GSX-R150! Since I've already ridden the GSX-R600 & GSX-R1000 brothers, this was the smallest GSX-R I've ridden until I get a chance to ride the Euro/Japan-exclusive GSX-R125.

Kawasaki KLX300 SM '22 | Taste Test
Kawasaki KLX300 SM '22 | Taste Test
One of the latest crazes in motorcycles today are not just Adventure Bikes, but a sub-genre of the Dual-Sport category called 'SuperMotos!'
Unfortunately, in its early days back in the early 2010s; most of these bikes are on the pricier side of the spectrum. Bikes like the iconic Aprilia SXV 550 and the KTM 690 SMC-R basically kickstarted the genre.
Lately, the Suzuki DRZ400SM and others opened the floodgates on the budget side of SuperMoto. And thanks to Suzuki (here in the US), in 2021 Kawasaki showcased the new KLX300 SM!!
Based on the venerable KLX300 dual-sport, this SM has a lower, stiffer suspension, spoked 17-inch wheels front & back, blue-ish light gauge, and sportbike-spec tires.
Since I rarely get a chance to ride any SuperMoto bikes, I am still not familiar with the genre. But it's an exciting time to explore this new genre especially bikes like this, what a time to be alive!
