Check the model →Purchase price is the number everyone compares, but it is not the number you pay every month. Below is a running-cost estimate for the models in this guide, built from the same assumptions for all of them so the comparison is fair.
Across the 13 motorcycles in this guide, the estimated monthly running cost spans about ₱2,308 to ₱3,467 — a difference of roughly ₱1,158 a month, or ₱13,896 over a year. On a five-year ownership horizon that gap matters more than most buyers expect when they are comparing showroom prices.
Worth noting: the cheapest motorcycle to buy here is the Honda TMX125 Alpha at ₱56,900, but the cheapest to run is the Honda Wave RSX. Those are different motorcycles, which is the whole reason to look past the purchase price.
Fuel is the part riders feel first, but it is rarely the biggest line. For the Honda Wave RSX, the estimate splits roughly into ₱842 of fuel, ₱650 of routine maintenance and ₱817 of insurance, registration and tyre reserve spread across the month.
On that basis, budget somewhere between ₱27,701 and ₱41,600 for a first year of running costs, before financing. If you are buying on installment, add the monthly amortisation on top — that is a separate number, and the two together are what your actual budget has to absorb.
Change any of these and the ranking can change. The calculators below take your own numbers instead of these defaults.

They are not quotes, and they exclude financing interest, helmet and gear, accessories and the cost of any accident or repair outside routine maintenance.
