Great idea I reckon. Particularly if it's used for insurance purposes. Let's face it 300B will barely cover the cost of a beer or lady drink.

Those are some pricey bars you drink in Bangkocker

Akin to the football world not entering a competition in the USA due to them calling it Soccer not football.

Thailand throwing its toys out of the pram

A drop in the ocean compared to the 50% airfare increases.

I have far more important things to worry about than an extra 8 Euros to get here

Power banks below 20,000 mAh are allowed in hand luggage to Thailand.

USA flights are 27,000 mAh i believe.

Be wary of inferior chinese power banks

Never ride a motorbike. Period. It's been said a million times.

Expect the unexpected everytime you jump on a bike and there are no problems.

Always pass a parked car with enough room for the door to suddenly open, expect the vehicle that's approaching a junction not to stop for you, don't expect a mirror,signal,maneuver etc etc.

The foreigners that get injured most of the time get complacent, think that the Thai roads are safe like their home countries, or have been drinking.

In the last 6 months i have traveled out of Thailand 2 times, once to Jakarta, Indonesia and once to Singapore. On check in to go back to Thailand I was asked, both times,  to show proof of vaccination?

Has something changed?

Must have been local rules in said countries. 6 weeks ago from UK to TL i was not required to show proof of vax.

Thanks for the input lads.

@Issanman, that is a mighty fine looking Burgman ????, a bit more than i wanted to spend but i will now do some research on the 400, i know they have a great reputation. Thanks.

@ London Lowf, Thanks for advice. I read about the Kawasaki rebranding and the

fact they make engines for other major brands, hence the interest in Kymco, i can now cross them off my list as there are no dealers in Thailand. Cheers.

@Agusts, It all makes sense now why i was having trouble finding a Kymco dealer,

I appreciate the explanation.

I have a 2023 300 Yamaha Roadsync/Techmax on order with no commitment to buy. I was just looking for something a little quicker off the mark to slot into traffic, the Yamaha 400 is an option but very expensive for what it is, the 400 Kymco seemed to tick all the boxes and at a great price too. Maybe i will look into ways

to make the Yamaha a little quicker from standstill to 100kmh.

Off to do some research on the Burgman, Thanks again for the advice gents.

Hi all and a good evening.

Been searching for hours with no joy, has anyone bought the above or seen a Kymco dealers anywhere ?

Would be prepared to import if anyone has done this problem free.

I am in Cha-Am.

Thanks for reading.

Ever heard of those things that are available to fit on all type of bikes called windscreens. ????

They will not let let me test ride it or arrange to get a test ride delivered to Phetchaburi or Pratchuap K K so up yours Honda

Glad i found this thread.

Have been trying to decide between a Black 300 Xmax connected and a Black 350 Forza roadsync. Originally wanted a Black 350 ADV but after reading about the lack of wind protection, i threw that idea out, as riding my Aerox 155 at above 90 kmh drives me nuts due to wind buffeting and the new scooter will be purchased for a calmer ride.

After popping into Honda Hua-Hin and being told "it not possible to order Forza Roadsync anymore ??? & the standard Forza would be 3-4 month wait" i will now buy the Black 300 Xmax connected with the smaller Yamaha top box.

I read that the front end of the Xmax has decent feel/dampers so i will see if the rear suspension from my current bike will fit the new Xmax.

Not sure if it will fit the new Xmax though, if not i guess i will be throwing another  20,000 at it for rear Ohlins.

Incidentally, the first of the bikes i originally enquired about that turned up in    Cha-Am 5 days ago was also a red ADV.
