ABS-CBN: Bikers slam motorcycle ban on highways








PS: Mods, can you explain to all the motorcycle riding members of PEX as to why you lump all motorcycle related topics on a single topic?

If you have a new thread popping up every now and then with a variation on the phrase: "Who here is into motorcycles?", or "Sino dito ang may motorcycle?" what would you do?

But if this is in reaction to "lumping" the thread you created regarding "Understanding Motorcyclists," then you'll be happy to know that I went back to review the whole thing and found that it was an error to have merged it with the general motorcycle thread. Sorry bout that. That thread has been restored to it's own space.

Let me know if there are any other concerns.

baket ibaban? naka ban po ba ang motorcycles? I mean syempre naka ban ang mga maliliit na motor pero pag iyong mga mabibilis at malalakas na motor naka ban pa rin ba?

Motorcycles below 400cc displacement (including scooters) are banned in the tollways. Tollways management deem that motorcycles below 400cc cannot meet the minimum speed levels for safe driving in the tollways which is between 60-120 kph.

Majority of th sub400cc MC riders (100-150cc displacement) believe it otherwise.

The point of contention here is that the tollways are dangerous for sub400cc motorcycles while the sub 400cc owners believe the tollways are safer that the alternative roads (service roads, Macarthur Hiway to Bulacan, LasPInas Zapote road to Cavite) which are wrought by even more dangerous obstacles like potholes, PUVs, pedestrians and animals.

The grunt of a 125cc motorcycle crusing over NLEX is pretty similar to a 1300cc Lancer doing the same speed...
