    A couple of bike mates and I wish to retire in the Philippines one day; but the dilemma is which bike to get? The consensus is an inexpensive adventure bike which can handle all the roads (big name brand adventure bikes are too expensive and too big). This is what we came up with:

    Only one problem, even though they are advertised on the net for Phils, there is no stock available - can’t get them... apparently most stock being sent to USA. Solution? Import minimum of 10 of then from China and sell some off. There’s a good market to sell these as there is nothing really in this space... big gap in the market..

    Those aren’t available now it seems. Might have to be a Suzuki 250 VStrom Sx
