With any luck an Xmax 300 should be available for viewing and purchasing in Chiang Mai before the end of September. I am leaning more towards the brownish color but that yellow color really stands out and would be my second choice. I am not going to wait in the hope that Honda will get their collective heads out of their ar..ses and update the bathtub on two wheels, AKA Forza 300.

168K (in Germany 6K EUR = 240.000THB)

Like your security system.

My bike, thinking of adding the  windshield does it make a difference?.
 

I have just bought a Yamaha N-max, all I can say it is excellent and the dual ABS brakes make it a winner for me.

Your N Max is a nice looking scooter - it's exactly how I want my scooter to look!

Thanks a million for the 2 up comparison!

 

... BTW, have you found anything about adding after market shocks? While you're at it, what about  adding larger size Michelin City Grips or Pirrellis?

Welcome bro, I tried to do the same research 6 months ago and found little to go on. In my past experience.. the nmax is the sports tourer of scooters. I’m glad I had the pcx to compare it to because the pcx pales in comparison to the nmax. I absolutely enjoy riding my nmax. I also upgrade the windshield with both Tom Tom gps ram mounts and iphone quad lock mounts. I also added a voltimeter and usb charging port. Also added new controllers with hazards and passing lights... definitely saves me 1000 times in Bangkok traffic. I have not found a comparison to upgraded yss or rcb shocks but I think I’ll stick with my stock. Its quite good overall.

In regards to the Michelin city grips. I think I’ll stick with the stock tires. It has enough grip for me. The abs brakes are awesome in city traffic. I haven’t even looked at the pirellis. I agree the New nmax 300 (when it comes out) is definitely gonna be a winner. I love Honda but I think they are behind yamaha.

Hope this helps.

^ ^ ^ ..... and, what is the quality of the ride - the passengers comfort level - when riding 2 up for > 30 km at a time? What are the largest size F/R tires that can be fitted on the N-Max?
Can anyone compare the quality of 2 up riding on the N-Max with 2 up riding on the PCX 150?

Hey... anybody change the nmax stocked shock to yss?.... any big difference? Thinking about changing it to either to yss or racing boy. I ride 50% 2 up... appreciate any tips.. thanks

Update, the guy never got back to me and I didnt bother calling him back. I went down to the local dealer here at rama 4 and after waiting a couple of days just to think it over. I picked up this beauty. Thanks everyone for your help. Especially Don Mega , Richard-Bkk, eisfeld, and papa al [emoji120]

The only official things you need to register a small-capacity-bike (max 350cc) is :
 

• A copy of every important page in your passport. This includes the info page, page with your visa, page that shows when you last entered the country, page showing your current visa renewal (if applicable), and the page showing your last 90-day report.
• A copy of the rental contract from your house or apartment, or house registration booklet
• 2 visa photos
• 500 or 600 THB (the cost seems to variate from DLT office to DLT office)
• Residence Certificate application form (available at the immigration office)

Registration for a small-capacity-bike (currently 0 to 350cc) is only 600 THB, motorcycle in the big-bike segment cost much more to register. Also because the scooter was never road legal, as it was not registered... for the Thai law the scooter was never used on the public road and therefore no back taxes are possible.
 
The original invoice would be a interesting document to look at, as this would likely show that the scooter was sold with financing or not (but this is not 100% waterproof, I once bought a Ducati and did the financing with my bank).

He has a residency certificate ("residency paper"?), original invoice and all is in order? Then why did he never register it? Did he give you a plausible reason? As mentioned by Dilligad, a work permit is not required to register a bike.
 
Seems like you wouldn't save all too much anyways, 15k and you have to pay for registration and possibly back tax? And someone might have another key so you might want to change the lock (not that these shitty locks could keep away any halfway determined thief but anyways). Personally I'd pass.

A good percentage of people who want to sell a less than a year old scooter without registration papers, and have some dodgy story why the scooter/motorcycle has no plates or registering papers is because the scooter or motorcycle is still under financing. Most stopped paying the finance company and moved house so the finance company cannot find them to reclaim the scooter/motorcycle.

 

Of course, finance companies are not stupid and they keep the original registration papers... So you can expect that the DLT will look at you with a smile and tells you that the scooter is already registered and reported stolen by a financing company. (If somebody stops paying the finance company, and after I believe 3 months cannot reclaim the scooter / motorcycle they will report it stolen.) Therefore make sure that you go with the seller to the DLT, as you not want to be charged with motorcycle theft.....

Like i said.. thaivisa members extremely experienced and helpful.... thanks guys.

BIGBIG thanks Robert. I did not know that... but ... he just agreed to go to Dlt with me with his Id, residency papers, the bike , and the original invoice... hmmm??.?

If the scooter is clean (not stolen or registered before, or has financing still unpaid), you should be able to register the scooter as easy as paying 600 THB and showing all the original purchase invoices (also take 3 copies with you). Probably the Thai Department of Road Transport will have a few more documents they want, so best to call them in advance – this will eliminate a few extra trips.

 

Depending where you stay you will get your greenbook (registration papers) and license plates within 30 days...

Ok. Now that i know i can go to dlt directly. I will propose that to him to bring him annnnd the bike to dlt and see what he says. He doesnt come off like a thief... he seems hes doesnt really care much,..

its 9 months old, how much cheaper was it versus buying new ?

 

And if you go to the trans dept you will get a book same day or atleast official paperwork to that affect.

 

 

63,000 for his . And i didnt know i could go to dlt directly because its not registered to him. Now u got me thinking.. if he goes with me to dlt.. issue will be resolved... one way or another....

Loas guy and bike shop could be a cahoots together.

 

Ask seller how many keys he has for the bike.

 

To avoid being stooged (assuming this thread is legit) sort it at the transport dept.

Yes i thought about it too.. i will get a better feel of it at the shop. He has one key and told me he made a copy because he lost the second key. he has the original manual in his name and maintenance signed off.. 

Yes.. thats my thought too... but ...No, i dont believe its stolen but I will be going to the shop where he bought it. Yes.. it does seem strange. Thanks Don
