AEROX v3 Standard or XSR 155 (2nd Hand)

Hello, mga kuys and ates. Maybe you guys can help with my dilemma haha. (PS: kinda long story, but there's a TLDR)

Both of them are to my liking, from their aesthetics down to their performances.

I’ve ridden an Aerox from a friend before, and I liked it. I’m kinda leaning towards it because it seems to fit my lifestyle more; daily work commute, luggage space, practicality, and the ease of using a matic.

But I've also owned an XSR 155 before. I had to sell it due to a medical emergency. Now parang gusto kong balikan and continue what I’ve left. It's been 2 years, every time I see a black XSR on the road, medyo may konting remorse haha. Selling a bike at the peak of your excitement is such a bummer. I really loved its character, meron na akong vision on what kind of set-up I will build it. Even its imperfections weren’t bothersome for me. And honestly, I kinda miss riding manual.

My routine is pretty simple. Work is only 1.4 km away, occasional weekend rides and thrice a week I ride about 12 km to my parents house. What I really like about the route to my family's home is that it's all smooth pavement roads, hindi traffic, and makakahataw talaga safely.

For context, I’m a fresh grad, single, and currently no OBR. Siguro co-worker baddies/buddies muna pansamantala makakasakay haha. So basically, I’m just a solo rider for the foreseeable future. I can tolerate the tiis-pogi side, and I'm all for the fun rides just to temporarily escape the corporate work life.

So ayun, should I go for the Aerox for practicality, or go back to the XSR and finish the page I left behind?

TLDR: Used to own an XSR 155 but sold it due to a medical emergency. Now deciding if I should get an Aerox for practicality or go back to the XSR that I still kinda miss.

Have a good day everyone! :D
