If memory serves me right, you thought the Victory was a good looking bike.
I rest my case. 55555

I'm a big Guzzi fan, but when it comes to cruisers, they're all ugly in my opinion.

I would say my bike is the coolest! ?
It's a Yamaha SR400, not made in Thailand originally, but completely transformed by me...in Thailand. Haha
When I think about cool bikes, personally I automatically discard any bike made after 1992. But if I have to adhere to your conditions, I would go for the Ducati Scrambler.

And then??

Any of the small displacement bikes available now are good imo. Personally, I would go with a bike that has a more upright seating position for improved handling, like the Kawasaki Z300 for example. There are so many bikes to choose from...
First thing is to decide what style you like and what you're going to use it for. Also, depending on where you live, it would be wise to get a bike from a nearby dealership. And don't buy anything without book or with incomplete paperwork. You might safe a little money in the beginning, but you'll have loads of headaches later.
Don't compromise.
Good luck!

Nice, thank you.

Central World Bangkok.
To be honest, I never quite liked the venue. Bikes are scattered around the huge shopping mall. Lots of people who don't care about bikes.

Slicks are no good for the street and in most cases just for showing off at the coffee shop. They do need higher temperatures to be effective, wear off much faster than normal tires and are useless in wet conditions, bordering to being outright dangerous for everyday use.

If the postie were to ask you the money in cash right there and then, then maybe. But if you get an official notice from the post office and you have to go there in person, then I would exclude a scam.

You mad? That Vespa is super cool!
-
Hey, that's my bike!
Just joking.
My entry for the ugliest bike is the Victory Vision and about 80% of Honda's latest designs. Not joking.

In case you can't find a good one there, the guy at Panda speaks good English and can send it to you.

I don't know about Chiang Mai, but I suggest you get a good one if you care about your tank. The cheap copies you find here in Thailand that work with magnets are for one not very sturdy and second tend to scratch the tank with time. Plus the zips are made of butter.
I have a 'Bags Connection' tank bag (Austrian brand I think), bought at Panda Rider in Bangkok. It attaches to the tank with a handy ring on the fuel cap and never even comes in contact with the tank itself. Comes off super easy and doesn't cost much.

I bought several things on aliexpress.com, some items were up to 150$. Maybe 1 out of 10 gets hit by tax....7 baht was all I had to pay.

Sorry to say, but I'm starting to think you'd be better off with a small car, like you mentioned in your OP.

what about this bike, the money looks ok for a 2013 reg. whats the difference in this and the ern 650. also what is the maximum tyre size/width of tyre i can put onto a ern 650cc
i also like this - https://www.kaidee.com/product-113246018/ good price ?
Ehh, the difference is 400 cc less on the Z250. 400 cc that you will miss dearly once your on a highway, all packed up for your big adventure and with cars overtaking you at speed.
Sure, like the other guy said rather condescendingly, you can ride anything, hell. ..there was a guy on a Cub who rode from Australia to the UK, I think.
But ask yourself, is that the kind of adventure you're looking for?
As for the tire size...why would you want to increase the size??
-
oh wow....was thinking about taking my NSR150 on the track for the first time this Monday, but if there will be so many people, I better postpone. Don't want hold up anyone or make a fool out of myself in front of them...
-
I have a 2009 ER6n and I've done some touring on it. I use a tank bag and saddle bags from 'Bags Connection', which are excellent.
For me, it has plenty of power, but then I rarely ride faster than 130km/h. -
I sell fake Chinese goods and ship to USA.....
I have 1,000 people working for me....all at 11 cents a day
I sell 100,000 fake iphones one day, then the next day i send them pencils instead of laptops.....good profit!!!!
once i have 10,000,000 baht in my account....i'll set up shop in India!!!
And I have 1 good advice for you. Don't give up your day job (if you have one) to become a comedian.

OP, like many here said, yes, it's not easy, but it's also not impossible to make money here. Some will tell you it's impossible, but I don't think they've ever tried.
One thing you could do is to check what sells very well on amazon for example, then go to alibaba or aliexpress and find a manufacturer for that product (or similar product). Rebrand the product with your brand/logo. Become an expert of this product.
Build a website dedicated to that item. You've done this before I think, so should be easy enough. With all the web hosting services out there it's a breeze anyway.
Get a designer to design your logo and ad banners on fiverr.com. They do a good job for just 5 to 25$.
Pay someone to do the SEO work, which is very important. I can recommend http://www.seopie.co.uk/. They did a great job for me.
Set up Paypal and Thai bank account.
Start selling.
Repeat with new product.
To give you an example. I was just doing some research about cat GPS locators. In the USA and Europe they sell them for 100 to 200$, on aliexpress you can find some for as low as 25-30$. Maybe not the same quality, but that would be your job to find out what works best and what doesn't.
Since I started selling stuff, I see potential products everywhere, but I only have 2 hands and a day has only 24 hours.
Most importantly of all, and I said that in my previous reply, is to enjoy what you're doing. Find something you can be passionate about. Life is too short to be doing something you don't care about.

10.000 Baht or $ ??
I have only 1 advice, it's a sound advice and it worked for me.
Whatever you decide to do, choose something you're passionate about, something you already know inside out, like a hobby for example. This passion will filter through everything you do and people will notice it and trust you. One step at a time, and things will fall into place. Don't be afraid to fail, because it's not really failure but more like an adjustment of trajectory until you find the direction that is right for you.
Also, a book I'd like to recommend "Happy pocket full of money", which changed my attitude towards money and wealth in general. Very helpful.
Good luck

I believe the price is 115k if you want it quickly, but normal price is 109.900.

But this one is the single item. If you want to talk to your pillion, you'll need 2.

I just bought the cheapest model from Sena on Lazada for 3600baht. Arrived in 3 days.
I bought it mainly to use with my phone's GPS through Bluetooth.
Testet it for the first time today.
It was very easy to use, connected to the phone in 2 seconds. The sound was loud and clear, even over the noise of my NSR 2 stroke.
Installation inside the helmet was done in about 20 minutes.
I'm very happy with it so far.
Thanks for the info, what model is it you bought? Can you speak rider to rider or is it only solo?
Thanks.
