Green one is even faster!

Go for it, begin with riding early in the morning when no traffic and work your way up. You'll be fine

But we are related! Bro riders. We are brothers from different mothers.

There's nothing else in this category or price range. Vulcan 650 has adjustable seat, pegs and bar so can be set for any size rider. Read some reviews and go buy it.

555 Go buy it .....Don't be silly that ain't gonna happen ,yesterday he nearly bought a Lifan that had been sitting on the shop floor for 2 years don't forget these bikes are great sellers,day before that It was some other bike not suited for purpose that he was dreaming about.do you actually ride at all Allan and if so what and I don't class riding a scooter or wave to 7/11 as really riding

LOL, thats why i said go buy it, or else this looking_for_a_bike drama will never end.

Was going to post a reply but then remembered that I'm a journalist and you won't believe me anyway.

I have never heard of a fair interest when financing a small scooter. Based on that information I advised to pay cash rather than finance and that was what OP asked.

Even getting a car loan at a proper bank in thailand Will not give buyer a normal deal (by Western standarts). Normally paying off a loan here early will not save you any money.

So again don't complicate things, op isn't a 5 years old but he isn't consulting a financial advisor here.

@iBike you make it sound more complicated than it really is. Nobody asked for a financial planning but a simple question. And there's a simple answer - if you can afford paying cash then font finance. Read the OP again and stop your BS!

I'll be spending it on my flights to China, donate a little to charity and spend the rest on cigars and whisky......

"IF" was the key word. If you can pay cash... meaning if you have money available and don't need them for some security or other reasons.

Back to your example. You have 100k sitting in your pocket and it's going to cost you 3700 over a year of bike loan. Question: Are you going to turn that money over and make more than 3700 out of it in one year or just going to enjoy having that bulge in your pans pocket?

Actually I have for years kept a minimum of 100k in gold in a bank for emergencies. Since buying it at 4000 baht a baht, I've some nice profits over the years, especially about 3-7 years ago.

I think I'll leave my gold and by the bike on credit, unless I earn some money this month.

More likely rent, not borrow. I would bring mine.

Lol. Only doable onshore... but you realise you've got up to something like a year after expiry?

We didn't know that. That might actually be helpful!

They really don't want to do the 30 questions again and it's now something like 60 questions.

Really anti- wasting time.. not that I blame them!

Thanks gweiloman, yes i do rcognize many strange people here. I will check out some groups and yes i need to get used to the traffic here. About the bike i just saw this on sale and its really tempting i know maybe a bit too much to start too but i think i can't resist. Will be alright as i am a expierienced rider right?

My opinion is get the best bike you can afford, don't worry about the displacement and that others may say it's too much for the beginner (in thailand), I say, 899 or even larger bike can be ridden in the same fashion as a 300 cc or even 150cc bike. It's up to you how much you want to open it up, just take it easy from the start until you know the bike a little better.

If someone purposely gets a small displacement bike because they are afraid to hurt themselves, they may as well ride with their mama on the back so she can tell them to slow down if they go too fast.

Makes me chuckle.

If youre buying anything you've got to pay, either now or later, but you will pay at least the full amount, and more if you're buying on credit. Unless you can invest that money at a better rate than the loan's interest, getting a loan doesn't make sense if you can pay cash. Having 100k sitting in your pocket is rather stupid if you're not going to invest it.

Martín Davis you sound like a pussy. Maybe change your tampon and step it up a notch.

You sound cute, let's take it to the track. Keyboard warriors bore me...

Looks like a good ride if they were liter bikes. They go fast but they have power to get out of harms way and coupled with powerful breaks it's a child's play. I wouldn't recommend similar riding style on a 300 cc or a scooter

Guys must be drunk. .. can't even mount their camera straight. Lol

Not according to some of the reports they don't care about proper visas also.

Be aware that since Sep 16 the visa processing rules changed sling Thai - Cambo boarder. While it still may be easy to take the bike out and in, it now may be impossible to get yourself back into the country after going to Cambodia.

Tell your dad that you need a lump sum and tell him you'd take a 4 or 5 k deductible from your allowance over the next 3 years.

What do you think of a front break?

Buy same same as register on your name. You can also get a Thai DL. Very handy to have.

Lesson #1. Make a color photocopy and put it into a tube. Keep the original under the seat with the rest of documents.

He's full of shit, 1st if he filed a police report, I'm sure you would get a knock on your door already. Also I'd ask him to show the quote.

And for the last I hope you got a receipt for your 10k thb payment.
