      Hello,
      Without knowing your weight, skill level or where you intend to ride the dual purpose i say you have a couple of options.
      1. The Honda XR200 in the Philippines is a dream bike for many. The good points are that it’s readily available to hire, to service and get parts. It’s got electric start, medium seat height, it’s reliable, strong and will take you almost anywhere in the Philippines. You wont regret hiring the XR, it’s a fun ride, your not going to be able to ride fast anyway (see our previous post about riding in the Philippines).
      Bad points, Electric start only (no kick start). Low power to weight ratio compared with modern design dual sports. Yes the XR 200 has a 2013 model but its not really been updated since the late 80’s. Also the brakes are not great, front disk, drum rear.
      2. Hunt around to try and find a more powerful and bigger dual sport. You might be lucky and find a KTM EXC, BMW etc. These types of dual sports in the hire shops are hit and miss.
      Good Luck, have fun, ride carefully.
