The streets of Mandaue City

[ray_ray]

Finally had to go to the city for visa purposes, so I was pounding the streets with city folks.
Nothing too special, just street bikes that are not what I saw and lived for the first ~50 yrs of my life ... After watching RV2s' last video before round 2 (Thai) of his FIM vacation tour, he understands what I mean.

Danao City here; !Mandaue City; Gotta put a cool Husqvarna branded 2010 TC250 MX racer bike up front; that's my friends' Hexs' 2t 200cc, oil injected Yamaha in the foreground.... Probably a good bike but he says the clutch slips ...



Air cooled 150cc Yamaha ... Just started seeing some new water-cooled model bikes here.




The bars set this bike off I think.

Finally figured out what a bike like this is about. It's your fathers' old bike that some kid got his hands on after the bike is yrs old and the kid does what kids around the world do to a motorcycle.



Seems all the SkyGo bikes I see do not have a downtube.

Few more ...

Thought this bike was the honda SL? Its a SUZ ... Its pretty obvious to me that at about anypoint in time, bike makers were pretty much doing the same thing with a few details different on their different models.



The RUSI 200cc bike is out - Should put the 150cc models in the rear-view mirror -- Same type frame as what list of bikes around the globe?



TMX might be the authorized honda clone but not really sure.


KAWI bikes here are usually pretty sporty looking.

Few more.


This is fastest most likely .. the 150cc 6Speed, SUZ Raider.



Rusi



Too bad this pic is not any better ... its a ~GP looking racer bike. Might be a Filipino company made bike (in China) along with Zongshen engine.

I like the yamaha in the 1st image. Thats the DT200, that became the WR200 that ive got, minus the oil injection and a few changes. Did they continue to sell them there after the mid 90's? Its obviously got new plastics but otherwise looks like it has been well looked after.

Not sure on when the Norkis Company stopped importing the Yamaha 2t bikes here in the 90s ... But they brought in lots and many are still here everywhere ... If not the entire bike, the Yamaha engine will get stuck in another frame ... Lots of the 2t bikes still have the original oil pump on them and have what looks like is the original type mono-shock under the tank.

That Rockstar bike belongs to a foreigner friend of mine here ... Rex fixed that bike all around, inside and out, a few back when he first arrived here. I could end up with that bike some day ....

I had one of the suzuki TS models in the states, I think the bike was a 72 or 74.

I had the Suzuki '71 TS-100, '71 TS-125, '72 TS-185 x3, '77 TS-185, TS-250 '71.
These bikes are awesome, and very little to get them running When they been sitting for decades. These are dual sport 2t oil injected bikes. We had two for our first bikes. Every time I found one and got it running the kids in the neighbourhood would beg me to sell it to them. These bikes were bullet proof.

If you keep the oil injection filled you can't kill these things.
I start them up on 2t mix and the oil injection just make sure the injection is working.
These were our best bikes.
These came from a time with no computer design systems everything was over built.
