    Fair enough, if your main concern is fuel efficiency. It's not too crash hot in that area.

    It's a single-cylinder four-stroke Suzuki made in Malaysia. It puts out about 20hp, weighs 115kg or so, a neat wee bike. Quite a few were imported new into NZ from Malaysia, but I'm not sure if any made it into other countries.

    At the current exchange rate (NZD:PHP at about 1:49.6, as far as I can make it), that's only a bit more than half the price we pay for 96 octane here, which is at about NZD1.30 a litre.

    Nah mate, Born in New Zealand but lived in Bukidnon for 13 years so I guess I'm part Filipino :unsure: . Great place to go riding, really loved it there.

    Regarding your petrol prices it's cheaper than here, Was about 30 peso's to a NZ dollar when I was there last. So current prices for 96 petrol here is about 1.26 or so which is about 37.8 pesos/litre.

    Unfortunetally I never learnt Tagalog, But do speak cebuen and a tribal language relatively well, all it's a bit hard to think them anymore :spudwhat: But I'm sure If I went back I'd pick it up within a week or two.

    May be coming over for a visit later in the year, will see how the study/money situation goes.

    I pay 86 pence per litre in the U.k.,which is roughly $2.30,when I was in N.Z. i was like a pig in the proverbial over the petrol prices while the locals were all complaining.The difference is mainly in the amount of tax,luckily you`re not ruled by war criminals,mass murder costs.

    OMG!!!

    that's more than a hundred peso per liter from here!!!...I should be happy I am here in the Philippines...hehehe!

    Btw, how do you confirm that an FZX250 is a 1998 model? The owner claims it is a 98..

    My CBR is confirmed to be a 1988 model because of the guidelines I found on the net. There is a list of chasis and engine number which explains the year coverage of when it was manufactured/released by honda.

    anyone?

    What about stickers of the Zeal, I found out that the decal "Zeal" on the tank is not a sticker, its already an imitation designed using an airbrush. I was thinking of perhaps getting a real one or perhaps making a computer cut sticker from somewhere here but i don't know the size and its color(s)

    I guess Im really into the mighty zeal right now. Though am with my CBR a minute ago, I just keep on thinking about the zeal...it's like two sexy looking ladies, but I gotta choose one...hehehe! I prefffffer the naked...hehehe!

    Have you ridden one?

    It'll be significantly slower than a CBR400, you know.

    If you start by contacting a local Yamaha dealer, you might be able to get the Zeal's engine number back to Yamaha in Japan and determine what year it would have been manufactured in.

    hmmm... owned Zeal and then a cbr400..... they both used the same amount of fuel....

    I liked the zeal tho... the cbr was... interesting... didn't ever clean it coz I didnt have to (fairings covered shit quite well)

    if I had a choice, I'd get another zeal...

    hehehe! If i have the money!

    I'de gladly stick on Honda CBRF4i

    I wont get a Duc nor a Gixxer...no offence but Duc's parts and services here in the Philippines are not good to find.

    About the Gixxer, is it a kawasaki or the Suzuki GSXR? Im targetting of getting either Yamaha or stick with Honda...Their parts are readily available in the Philippine Market compared to other brands.

    peace bro! and ride safe
