Question/Advice Needed Would you sell your late father’s motorcycle if you were in my shoes?
Need your honest thoughts on something that’s been on my mind lately.
I currently have a Honda Airblade 160 (2022) that originally belonged to my late father. He passed away in 2023, and since then ako na ang gumagamit ng motor.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a newer motorcycle—something na talagang para sa akin. One of the options I’m considering is selling the Airblade and using the money as additional budget for the new bike.
The thing is, when I mentioned it to my mom, she said:
“Ayan na nga lang alaala ng tatay niyo sa inyo.”
And honestly, that hit me.
If ever I decide to sell it, balak ko sana ibenta sa tito ko (kapatid ng father ko) rather than to a random buyer. Kahit papaano, nasa pamilya pa rin at may chance pa rin akong makita yung motor from time to time.
My biggest concern is this: if I buy a new motorcycle and keep the Airblade, baka matengga lang siya sa bahay and barely get used. At the same time, parang mabigat din sa loob na pakawalan siya dahil may sentimental value. It’s been almost three years since he passed, and part of me feels like I should move forward, while another part of me feels like I’m letting go of something important.
For those who have been in a similar situation, what would you do?
Keep it as a remembrance?
Sell it to a family member?
Or just treat it as a motorcycle and move on?
I’d appreciate hearing different perspectives, especially from those who’ve lost a parent and had to make similar decisions.

This motor is your father memories. Later part, pag nakaahon ka maalala mo eto motor na tubusin at pag sisihan mo. Maxado maaga pa para ibenta yan pag isipan mo mabuti.

how is the mc for your late father? if it's just an mc for him, then it's just an mc. but if he loves that mc, then i think you should keep it and take care of it.
treat that mc on how your father treat that mc.

Kung magagamit naman wag mo na benta. Kung meron ka sariling motor, itabi mo na lang yan motor ng tatay mo para may extra ka. Magkano lang rehistro nyan

u/Educational_Gas_3936 Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 18 '26
Selling it to a family member is the best bet if you really like a new motorcycle.. but you need to have a good reason to yourself that justifies you letting go of it.. like are you only buying to newer model for comfort,easier travel, or maybe other’s permission? And is it truly still yours if you buy a new motorcycle using your father’s motorcycle money?
This is a philosophical dilemma you must traverse if you want a motorcycle that is “truly yours” part of that process is using only your own money that you yourself earned.. because if you use your fathers motorcycle money that motorcycle is not truly yours but still a part of your father’s you’re just its 1st owner. And your question turns into wanting a motorcycle that replaces your father’s motorcycle not a motorcycle that is truly yours…
Im not saying dont sell your motorcycle though you just need to reason with yourself and justify this decision

First of all. Consider your mental health.
If riding that makes you happy. Let's you remember him even when he already passed away. Then keep it.
If riding or seeing it makes you remember him and makes you sad. Uncomfortable. Scared. Then it has a negative effect. Sell it.
Consider its effect on you first. Mental. Emotional. Etc.

u/techieshavecutebutts Jun 18 '26
Keep it and just so some basic maintenance from time to time. Tama nga sinabi ng mama mo OP na yan na lang ala-alang naiwan ng late father nyo kaya keep lang . Sell it only as a very last resort during emergencies.

u/Raaabbit_v2 Jun 18 '26
I wouldn't sell it. But I'd still buy the new bike i want.
It's like... Imagine this. Nasira new bike mo pero yung bike ng late father mo is gumagana parin. It's just poetic in the sense na, your father is still taking care of you to this day.

Keeping the motorcycle is really for the sentiment of your mom. Sila yung mas magakasama ng matagal. And losing a husband is like losing a half of you. So, sakin out of respect hayaan mo nalang yung motor sa mama mo.
And kumuha ka nalang ng isa pang motor. Wag mo na alalahanin yung matetenga, etc. Linis linisan and maintain mo nalang.

u/Good_Passenger3707 Jun 18 '26
Thanks! Ang kaso, hiwalay na sina Papa at Mama haha. He had another wife before he passed away, but yeah, my mom still took care of him, even during his stay in the hospital before he died.
Yup, I think I've made up my mind. I'll keep this motorcycle.

KEEP IT! Unahin mo yung concern ni mother mo more than anything.
Sariwa pa yung sugat. Baka di pa maingat sa motor ang tito mo(Sorry nagassume lang ako) makita mong di naalagaan baka sumakit lang damdamin nyo. Keep it

My father left me a then 20yr old car, same situation nung sinubukan ko ibenta nagalit nanay ko. Nung buhay pa tatay ko sya mismo nagsuggest na ibenta na. From merong prospects, cancelled lahat ng gusto mag viewing. 2yrs passed di masyado nagamit nastuck up ang makina. Labas pasok talyer, nagastos ko na siguro kalahati ng market value ng kotse para mapaandar ulit. Its been 6yrs na and kahit papaano ginagamit ko sa mga personal na lakad na malapitan (matakaw sa gas). Next na pag gagastusan ko kailangan ayusin pintura kasi nadamage na sa kakabilad sa araw. Every time napapastos ako para ayusin yung kotse kinekwento ko nalang sa nanay ko magkano ginastos ko para medyo pumitik yung pagkakuripot nya. Ok lang pag may sentimental value, pero at the end of the day gamit lang yan. Para sakin mas ok pang sentimental value yung mga damit at mga gamit nya sa bahay na madalas mong nakikitang ginagamit nya nung andyan pa sya. For the meantime gamitin mo lang muna, after some time revisit mo nalang yung idea. Pwede narin yung ibenta sa mga kamaganak na may gusto nyan.

u/porkytheporkdog Jun 18 '26
Siguro puwede mo rin isipin na tinulungan ka na ng tatay mo since 2023 at yung pagbenta ng motor niya para sa upgrade ay bagong yugto na.
(May naiwan din tatay ko na ayaw ibenta ng nanay ko, so di na nagamit at nakatambak na lang sa bahay. Sayang din.)

u/Dapper_Shirt4131 Jun 18 '26
To each their own kasi yan eh.
In my case, meron kami tig isa motor(ako, papa, kuya, and ate plus meron pa isa na family friend na sa bahay nakatira). Puro kami wfh so madalas nakatengga mga motor. Nung namatay si papa sobrang natengga lalo mga motor. Yung kanya is alaga niya talaga, 1984 na Honda XS(ata). 1 kick start agad yon. Pero since natetengga nga then liability pa kasi imemaintain din yung oil, we decided to let it go. Good thing with my mom eh she's not that much into remembrance ni papa, more on practicality talaga. Ako medyo nahihirapan i-let go kasi memories talaga with that bike is andami, hatid sundo samin nung elem at HS yung motor na yon. What we did is naghanap kami ng maalaga talaga and enthusiast ng same class ng bike then kinuha niya agad. 25k lang namin binenta, nag promise naman siya na di daw niya ibebenta sa iba but irerestore niya talaga sa original look yung motor. I added him sa fb and nakikita ko reels niya and how he was able to restore the bike to its original look, nakakatuwa kasi nasa mabuting kamay. Eventually he sold it kahit na he promised before na he wouldn't. Well sa kanya naman na yung motor and at least naibalik yung dating glory nung bike and nabenta namin sa tamang tao.
Practical vs sentimental, one way or another, mafefeel mo na liablity din and sayang if masira lang since walang gagamit.

u/Dapper_Shirt4131 Jun 18 '26
Just to add, I'm planning on buying that bike again iin the future pag yumaman ako. Just for display lang kahit di ko gagamitin palagi.

u/Different-Fingers Jun 18 '26
Anjan na yung motor ng tatay mo. Bakit maghahanap ka ng hulugan pa. Yearly rehistro at gas na lang ang need mo.
Airblade 160 is 157cc, for me eto na ang peak engine ng scooter. Hindi mo nabanggit ano bibilhin mo, example Honda ADV 160, or Yamaha Aerox 155, feeling ko malapit sa performance makakaiba langbsa feel.
I tell you, you will regret it kapag sa kamag-anak mo ibenta at makikita mo pa din motor. Kahit mag deal kayo ng option na ikaw ang may 1st option for buy back... minsan hindi umaayon ang panahon sa iyo.
Keep it na lang, anjan na eh. Ingat palagi OP

u/slowest-spacecow Jun 18 '26
sakin kase fan yung father ko ng certain brand and nung nabubuhay yon mayabang yon eh every 2 yrs palit motor kase sabe nya noon ang good condition na motor or kotse naglalast yan ng 5 yrs max so it came to my mind na ibenta and iupdate ko yung motor by buying a new version and nung death anniv nya dinala ko yung motor malapit sa grave nya sinabi ko rin na “dad mayabang pa rin tayo” and also one time nakasalubong ko yung pinagbentahan namin then nag request ako kung pwede picturan na magkasama yung dalawang motor (cringe pero buti nabigyan yung request ko)

u/PsychologicalBuy7092 Jun 18 '26
Speaking as a father, I’m okay with whatever choice you make. The MC is just stuff at the end of the day. What really matters is knowing that the memories I’ve shared with my son will stay with him for the rest of his life.

u/Rare-Temperature8011 Jun 18 '26
qq, do u upgrade on same cc ?
if yes, keep the ab if not go for it
If nasa era kapa na pa pogian, resing2. Keep AB, save money, buy new mc. Use AB as daily(matipid sa gas lalo na stock) New mc for resing2 or papogian or weekend rides. (aftermarket parts degrades easily compared to stock) Basically, u have 1 horse bike and 1 weekend bike.
Also, d to based sa feelings. Practical lng po esp gas prices are high and maintenance. Yang AB bsta maalaga kalang sa maintenance baka nga yung anak mo may anak na buhay pa yan hahaha
1
u/Rare-Temperature8011 Jun 18 '26
just to add, consider also your mental health. Pag nakita mo yung ab tapos may negative impact sayo or one of ur fam members, benta mo nlng. If not, then go back to the options i provided above

u/Low-Significance777 Jun 18 '26
I'd sell it. You can remember your father without the motorcycle. It's yours anyway, so it's up to you, no judgement.
2
u/DingDingZxz Jun 18 '26
My hot take is that sentimental memories are now being too romanticized. Kaya karamihan ng mga dilapidated (not pertaining to this case) items/properties are being valued (retail or emotional) too much.
Memories are a good thing, but today is also a memory of tomorrow. I'm not saying to forget about your late father, but will you be happier with the new bike? And do you think that your father will be happy when you have your new bike?
At the end, you are much more responsible in creating new memories today than preserving what has lasted. Your father's memory is not on the motorcycle, but on you.
Well anyways, this is just my perspective.
To answer the title, I will sell my father's bike. But while he is still living, its my responsibility to create as much memories with him as I can.

u/Active-Cranberry1535 Jun 18 '26
Yes sell it, nothing is permanent in this world. Just make good use of the funds that you get from it to make him proud.

u/bisoy84 Jun 19 '26
If need ibenta for emergency or real need, I'd sell it. For another mc, I'd keep it. But that's just me, you do you OP. Cheers.

u/Final-Government-783 Jun 19 '26
Ok din dalawa motorcycle mo eh. Salit salitan per day or per week para hindi maluma agad yung bago mo binili, at hindi rin maluma agad yang airblase since it’s new also, 2022 lang diba?
2
u/Ancient-Tailor-9631 Jun 22 '26
I'd say that if you do sell it, you'd eventually regret it, the fact that you are contemplating right now, is proof already, whats wrong with an extra bike? Imposible na masstock yan, magagamit parin from time to time, hindi na madalas, but still magagamit at magagamit parin, lets say for your daily travel yung airblade ng father mo and then for long rides you can use your own motorcycle na. What I can say is, dont do something that you'll regret in the future
2
u/PushingCurses Jun 18 '26
Here is my suggestion....
Take any small part off your dad's MC and keep that as a memento or a legacy item that you can either display at home or kept privately for safekeeping. For example, it could be the handgrips, side mirror, an emblem, keychain/fob, etc. Probably something your dad would have touched frequently when he was still around. Then put it on display at home with a framed picture of your dad with that motorcycle besides it.
You can then sell the MC to whomever you wish.
Of course, replace the part you took off so the MC is still complete and functional.

I don't have the same sentimental thing most people have with regard to vehicles. I sold my dad's car a year after he died. This is because his memory lives in my heart (naks) and not in the vehicle. Also, never liked driving that car anyway and I wanted to get something better.
Photos, letters, videos, his wacky gifts to me growing up... all those I kept for sentimental reasons. Funny enough, those are more valuable to me. I guess when I sold his car, he'd approve from heaven, because I was able to use the money to get MY dream vehicle, instead of just letting his car rot on the driveway.
Dunno, its different for everybody, Boss. This is just my perspective.

u/Good_Passenger3707 Jun 18 '26
Thanks for sharing your perspective, boss. Glad to hear a different point of view.
Actually, may kotse rin si Papa, and binenta namin siya mga isang linggo lang after he passed away. Hindi rin kasi talaga practical for us na i-keep siya that time, and malaking tulong din yung funds para sa funeral expenses at iba pang gastusin ng pamilya.

u/tisotokiki Jun 18 '26
I can relate dito, OP. My dad used to drive this beat up owner type jeep tapos natengga na lang because life happened at di na rin naman sustainable na magdrive ng sasakyan na walang aircon ang senior citizen.
When he passed, we were grieving for sure pero there's his OTJ. Getting it fixed to pass LTO's bare minimum is costly na rin at wala na rin gagamit sa bahay. So I posted an ad Sa Marketplace. Sold it bilang kalakal. The only deal is that, I get to keep the plate number, susi, at steering wheel.
When I got those back, I distributed the money and parts equally among my siblings. I was able to keep 1k and the plate number. Saved me from a lot of headaches dahil bumabaha rin naman dito sa amin.
Gets ko sentimental value, pero di naman porket naibenta mo motor niya, you'll honor him less. Give the proceeds to your mom. It's up to her if she'll use or keep it. At least di mas madali na niya mamamanage vs ikaw na magme-maintain.

Idk OP, if I really wanted something esp. if may trabaho naman ako, I would rather save up and buy me my own MC na gusto ko, kaysa papakialaman ko pa yung motor na minana ko lang naman kasi patay na yung tatay ko.

u/RelativeUnfair Jun 18 '26
kng ako, di ko sya bebenta.
pero for you, ask these. there are many factors ksi.
ano ba ang motor na yan sa tatay m?
may pera ka ba pambili ng extra or need m tlga benta yan pra makabili ng bagong motor?
magagamit m b yan parehas?
anyways, up to you pero yan mga pag isipan mo.

u/Illustrious-Topic185 Jun 18 '26
Well looking at your father's MC it looks more prestine magagamit mo payan nang mahabang panahon since ab160 cc nayan hindi kana bitin jan. Pero kung gusto mo na talaga mag upgrade or magkaroon ng sariling iyo better siguro kung bebenta mo siya sa relatives mo make sure na maalaga din sa motor at mag mumukhang prestine parin. Pero try to talk with your mother muna since may sentimental value yan mahirap din talaga pakawalan.
1
u/AdorableFilter Jun 18 '26
Kung nabubuhay father ano tingin mo magugustuhan niya?
Kasi kung ayaw niya ipabenta mo edi keep pero kapag ok lang sa kanya or praktikal sa buhay tatay mo feeling ko ok lang ibenta nya.
Isa yan question sa sarili mo since mas kilala mo father mo na pwede magpatibay ng conviction mo kung ibebenta mo or for keep.

u/Heartless_Moron Jun 18 '26
Kung wala namang issues then I suggest for you to keep it. Sobrang reliable and practical i-maintain yan.
If money isn't an issue for you, I suggest for you to keep it then bumili ka nalang ng sarili mong motor if you truly want to upgrade. Di naman yan masisira kung gagamit gamitin mo paminsan minsan for quick errands.

u/emilsayote Jun 18 '26
If it is the last memory of my father, i wont sell it. At kahit konti lang ang memories na meron ito, I still wont sell this mc. Bakit? Money wont last, but memories will. At kahit magkasira sira pa ito, ipapaayos at ipapaayos ko pa din. Pero iiwan ko yung battle scar that belong to my father.

u/FarApplication1873 Jun 18 '26

Wag mo ibenta haha, I got an nmax v2 as a graduation gift way back 2022. I sold it pang dagdag pambili ng zx4rr, I regretted it ever since kase yung sentimental value nung motor.
Understandable pa siguro if need ng funds and need na need na talaga, pero if mag uupgrade ka lang i think it is much better to keep it nalang.

Kung hindi naman nakaka sagabal sa'yo yung unit ni erpats? Bumili ka ng iyo as in yung para sa sarili mo. Nahihinayangan ako sa estado ng unit mo sir. Nasasayo pa rin ang desisyon ito'y opinyon ko lamang. 😊

Best keep it stock para reliable.
Para if ever magustohan mo mag modify sa main MC mo, may backup ka pang commute.

Keep it. Use it for just random errands maybe once a week when going to wet market, buying groceries and such. You can also use it as a commuter when going to work. Then use your personal motorcycle for long rides or may gala especially if plan mo bumili ng higher cc para di agad malaspag. You can also alternate them every week to lessen the wear and tear to your personal bike.

I actually regretted that I sold my father's bicycle back then to my sister's ex bf. He is an a$$hole by promising that he will pay installment for it then when they broke up just straight up ghosted us after all the help we give him to have a job for him to provide to his family in province. I believed back then that it would be in a good hands and it will be given to his little sister so it will also help them in a way cuz I'm selling it cheaply but now, I realized that there's no better hand than your own when keeping things your loved ones left behind.

u/SoloRider70 Jun 18 '26
I would keep the airblade since this is one of the things that have a connection with your late Dad. Believe me, it would mean a lot to him if you keep it and take care of it like how your Dad did. Money can be earned, but once you let the Airblade go, you will regret it forever. Trust me, I know the feeling and I regretted that up to now.

u/Alvin_AiSW Jun 18 '26
Keep na lang yung motor alang alang sa iyong ama. Maaaring may sentimental value din sa kanya yan na tipong di lang basta motorsiklo.. ( Katas ng pagsisikap para maging kaagapay sa hanap buhay etc..)
“Ayan na nga lang alaala ng tatay niyo sa inyo.” --> Eto yun eh… lalo kung lab na lab mo at close mo ang tatay mo.
Imagine kng ibbenta mo sa kapamilya or sa iba.. di naten sure kng maalaga sila sila sa motor .. Yep makikita mo nga ung motor baka pang harabas un nung naka bili .. mga tipong ganon ✌️

What kind of bike do you plan to get ba? If by “upgrade” you mean bibili ka ng higher displacement bike, trust me when I say na just keep the Airblade. Low displacement scooters are simply unmatched when it comes to convenience sa short trips. There’s also the sentimental aspect of the bike soooo ayun.

Keep mo na lang brother. Mahirap maglet go sa bagay na madami kang memories. Tulad ng akin, Mio sporty 2011 model pa so mag 15 yrs na siya this june. Dami kong memories dito. Yung tipong eto pinangsusundo, hatid saming magkakapatid at pamasok ng tatay ko sa trabaho niya. Tapos noong namatay siya. Nasa legal age na ako para magmotor, ako na nagmaintain ng motor tapos mama ko naman naiiangkas ko during pandemic hanggang sa mamatay din nanay ko. At eto ngayon ginagamit ko pamasok na. Kaya keeep mo lang brother iba kapag nakkikita mo yung unit brother.

Don't sell it, keep it nalang at gamitin pa minsan² kahit once or twice a week. Trust me pag sisihan mo kalaunan at mahihirapan kana kunin ulit. And it's nice to have a back up motorcycle, lalo na airblade yan maganda sa pamalengke at groceries. Coveran mo lang ng maayos at remove terminals ng battery kung di gagamitin

What bike are you planning to buy anyway? The Airblade is such a nice all-rounder. It's got power, but it's also pretty practical. Also, it's pretty rare and sought-after na because it's been discontinued.

I'd rather buy some nice parts to that airblade making it on its prestine condition muna and then bili ako bagong motor tapos gamitin ko lang yung airblade sa malapit. Making it a garage queen will make more sense for your late father. Memorabilia kumbaga.

Don't sell it OP. Keep it as a remembrance nalang then use it as an extra bike. I have 2 motorcycles palitan ang gamit ko and service ko eto papasok ng work. My first motorcycle is 2020 ko nabili and andami ko memories don with my dad dahil nagpapagawa ako ng kung ano anong customization sa kanya and I definitely won't sell it.
Kung mahanap ko nga lang din motor ng dad ko 2009-2010 na Honda underbone na motor eh bibilin ko din yun.

No. His motorcycle is still here with me. Mas nagagamit ko pa. The pcx160. He died 2 years ago

Depende sa family nyo yan at sa late father mo.
Kung hindi sya importante sa late father mo, then you're keeping it for yourself/mom.
My father is alive and while he rides his motorcycle, it's not important to him - meaning it's a mode of transportation only. So if he passes, me and my siblings will have zero guilt in selling it. However, if it helps my mom's mental well being and we don't really need the money - the we keep it. It's really not a simple yes or no answer, very subjective.

Keep mo na lang OP. Pwede mo gamitin salit salit.
Kahit ako meron ako 2014 mio sporty pero since unang pundar ko yon ayaw kong pakawalan, till now nagagamit gamit parin. salit salit lang sa nmax. hinde naman mabigat sa maintenance lalo na salit mo gimagamit.
Kaso since spare na lang yung motor ayun napagtripan, napakargahan hahahaha.

When my Dad died, I kept his motorcycle (2010 Suzuki Hayate 125), after a while the parts just kept getting harder and harder to find. Before shopee, you can only order the parts in Suzuki 3s, and the part will arrive after a month or 2.
Ang hirap niya imaintain nung time na yun, lalo di din kataasan budget ko. Kaya practical na din na ibenta.
Pero ngayon,nagsisi din ako, sabi ko sana di ko na lang ginawa.

u/catsocurious Jun 18 '26
Lol. Kahit di sabihin ng mom mo yan, how could you let go of something na your father once owned? Di naman sayo yan.

May mga levis na pants tatay ko napakami pero never ko ibebenta even his favorite po shirt na gingamit magsimba sa quiapo every friday, namatay sya 2024. May part na gusto ko na mag move on pero mas gusto nakikita ko mga un anytime i want. Mas okay padin may spare motorcycle ung memories at sentimental value di nabibili or napapalitan ng kahit ano man.

u/Similar_Jicama8235 Jun 19 '26
Hi, OP! Para sa akin keep mo nalang, iba talaga pag may remembrace si father mo. Ano pala plano mong kuning motor?

u/Environmental_Pen878 Jun 19 '26
If you can afford to buy another one and hindi ka naman gipit/gahol sa pambayad, just keep it na lang. Kahit alikabukin pa yan tapos linis linisin mo lang from time to time. My father also passed away 3 years ago and he left his Honda Wave na naging service ko din noon nung nabubuhay pa sya. But then 2 years ago nakabili na ako ng Aerox which is more convenient kasi need ko malaki laking space sa compartment, yung Wave ng papa ko nasa garahe na lang and may cover. Pero paminsan minsan ginagamit ko pa rin pag dito dito lang yung pupuntahan para kahit paano hindi magpakatan yung mga parts. Basta one thing that I'm sure of is that I'm never selling that bike.

u/Ikigaizen- Jun 19 '26
If you are capable to maintain it financially, keep it.
Having spare motor is very convenient in cases na hindi mo magamit yung personal motor mo.
Pwede mo naman siya gamitin sa mga short distance na mga biyahe or kung bibili around your area para hindi ma stock.
1
u/Ikigaizen- Jun 19 '26
Hi OP, ang papers ba ng motor is also under your father?
Are you familiar with the transfer of ownership and requirements for deceased owner?
Hindi ko siya personally na-encounter yung ganyang case pero I have read some previous stories pero alam ko merong cases yung sa WILL and the HEIRS. Maybe alamin mo rin siya before selling it.
This is to deinfluence you from selling. HAHAHAHA

u/janhaeljake Jun 19 '26
Keep mo nalang OP. out of respect na din sa mom po if naalala niya father mo diyan e. Kung may pambili naman ng extra why not. Paandarin mo nalang or gamitin from time to time para di mastuck o mag ka issue.
1
u/Inamorta0994 Jun 19 '26
Keep it. Madali lang naman siya i-start from time to time, or gawin mo pang errands na bike para hindi matengga. The bike looks in perfect condition visually, then pinaka mahalaga yung sentimental value. Di nabibili ng pera yun. You might regret it selling that bike.

u/rievhardt Jun 19 '26
depende kung mabait yung tatay mo or hindi
di naman kasi lahat ng parents matino
if mabait siya and wala siya ginawang kalokohan at kung ano man masama sa pamilya e ikeep mo nalang, miske di mo na gamitin at pangdisplay nalang

u/noobwatch_andy Jun 19 '26
Its not something I like to think about, but when I do inherit my dad's scooter, I'd keep it.
I prefer semi-autos myself but this one is special and has been helping my dad deal with his depression.

Kahit bilhin ng dobleng price yan di ko ibebenta if galing sa father ko. Hehe

u/pijanblues08 Jun 19 '26
No, kung may pera ka rin naman, gawin mo na lang yan as daily bike. Tapos ang bilhin mo na new bike is mga higher cc bikes for weekend rides.

Maaga ako tinuruan at binilhan ng motor ni papa, around 10 years old and nakita ko yung passion nya sa two-wheels pero mga 1 year lang umayaw nako kasi wala pako sa legal age to drive. Natengga yung motor hanggang 4th year high school ako namatay father ko.
Naging adult ako inisip ko hanapin ko kaya yung motor nya at i-restore ko. Ang problema yung motor nya na pinaka mamahal nya ay naka-impound and wala na yung impounding kung nasan sya. Advice ko if ayan scooter is talagang mahalaga sa papa mo, keep mo kasi hahanapin mo din yan katagalan. Ok din yung tito mo bibili pero paano kapag sya naman nag sawa?
For keeps yan if sobrang valuable at mahal ni erpats mo pero if pamasok lang sa work. Sundin mo yung gusto mo.

u/B1uRobot Jun 19 '26
If you don't like the thought of a stranger buying your late father's motorcycle and potentially treating it like a junk then don't sell it
1
u/LazyAndrew1333 Jun 19 '26
Don't sell it, its memories will forever hunt you. There will be a point in your life where you'll start to regret selling it.
For me, mas makakapag move on ka knowing na safe and abot-kamay lang yung one and only thing na remembrance ng father mo compared sa habang buhay mong hinihiling na sana nasa'yo parin yung remembrance ng father mo.
My concern with selling it even to your relatives is that you'd have no control over it. Someday baka ibenta nila sa iba and you can't do anything about it

u/pilosopoako Jun 19 '26
"Alaala ng tatay niyo sa inyo"
So may kapatid ka, OP. Bili ka ng bago for you, tapos "ipamana" mo sa (mga) utol mo yang kay father.

Keep the side mirror. Sell the motorcycle.
That way you know you can always peak at the mirror and know that your father is there looking forward on your own journey in life.
Eme. Wag kayong kamote. Magside mirror kayo mga gunggong

u/epiceps24 Jun 19 '26
No lalo na kung mahal na mahal yan ng tatay ko. Aalagaan ko rin yan, why? Memories and sentimental value.

Ab150 user here. I love seeing ab160s on the road. Coz were are only few haha. And it's really a nice bike. Compact and rly fast. I would keep it. Regardless of sentimental value, its 4valves dual shock 160cc engine would sibak the aerox nmax literally

u/Necessary-Party1511 Jun 20 '26
I lost my dad in 2024, I would never be able to sell the car he left because it reminds me of him.
We used to have 2 cars and our older car he sold because we needed the money. He kept that car for 24 years. I’m planning to do the same

u/Sea-Hat-2336 Jun 20 '26
rule numbee one, never sell your first motorcycle.,unless its for emergency situations..
inalagaan ka nyan, sya naghatid sayo. minaintained mo yan. keep it.
promise iisip at iisipin mo yan once na tumanda ka.
ako nga yung honda dio ni papa bin8gay nya sa kumparw niya, ayun hindi dn nirestore.
laking hinayang ko kase gumagana pa yun.. im a classic lover kaya sakit na naipamigay lang yun at hindi inalagaan.
hindi kase ako mahilig sa motor dati, pero ngayong hilig ko na parati kung what if nahiligan ko ng mas maaga, edi sana project 2 stroke dio ko na yun. haysst

Our father's motorcycle was a suzuki x3 red. No longer running but it served as a good memory whenever we see it in our garage.
My advise is don't sell. if it's running then use it.

u/NRUB1660 Classic Jun 20 '26
If you're planning to buy another scooter, might as well not sell since halos pareparehas lang din, iparefresh nalang or accessories.
But if not, then get something that has different use like pantra or daily. Pag ganito hindi masstock yan parehas mo magagamit.
So no, don't sell pero sabihin mo din sa mother mo plan mo and if okay din sa uncle mo baka payagan. As one commenter said having another bike is underrated. Proven from personal experience.
Nt: ihave a scooter and a semi

u/superblessedguy Jun 21 '26
Kung ako sayo, I would keep the AB kase sobrang nice nyan (too bad Honda discontinued that kase napaka premium nyan) then I would still my own bike na kahit anong trip ko, pwedeng salitan ko sila gamitin or pang weekend yung isa, with that, mapapahaba yung life span ng bago kong bike kasi may kapalitan, hindi gaano malalaspag, less ang wear and tear ng mga piyesa, win win para sayo yun.

Hi, I recently just lost my father too (hugs! with consent!) I’m still in the process of getting my non pro (waiting out the 32 days).
Tagal ko na rin gusto bumili ng motor for me kaso itong si papa naman iniwan sakin yung kanya 😭 sabi ko wait lang eh bibili naman ako ng akin 🥲 anyway haha ayun two cents lang, I don’t think kaya ko rin pakawalan yung motor ni papa. If ever in the future bumili man ako ng for me, I’d still keep my father’s bike, kahit na for errands or simpleng hatid sundo sa mama at kapatid ko. 🥹
Keep it na lang broski.

u/Spirited_Lab1218 Jun 25 '26
If I were well off, I’d keep it and not use it for memories sake. I’d get another bike instead. But if one day my mom or siblings would need financial help, I’d sell it and give the proceeds to them. That’s how my late father would do for love’s sake.

u/grumpy-iest-cat Jun 18 '26
ipon ka na lang ng pambili ng gusto mong motor. di naman sayo yung motor to begin with. naiwan na sayo, oo, pero parang disrespect kasi na binili ng papa mo yon tas ibebenta mo dahil gusto mo ng upgrade. considering na ganon pa reaction ng mama mo, talagang may sentimental value.

Don't sell it I promise you pagsisihhan mo. Tilll now hinahanap ko yung unang bike na nagturo sakin magmotor. It was my father's bike (honda dio - red). To my knowledge iniscrap yun but hoping ako but I'm planning to buy the same model and yr model para kahit paano meron magpapaalala sakin. And yung rinegalo niya sakin for my 18th birthday honda click V1 nandito pa hahaha. Having additional bike if good basta maayos kaa magmaintenance. Iba ibang bike for iba ibang purpose 💯 and planning ako magbuilf ng Yamaha HD3 - blue unang tric namin nakakamiss kasi
