Thanks everyone! Super helpful. The DZ3 is indeed quite interesting - great price and dimensions (as well as storage capacity). Would those Thai bikes be easy to find somewhere to service?

Hi Everyone, I just got my motorbike license. I live in Bangkok but I won't be riding it in the city much (would rather get Grab bikes as the traffic conditions are a bit wild but I'm sure I'll occasionally use it in town in case Grabs are hard to get. Main purpose would be to take long distance solo trips and travel around Thailand. Things I'm looking for: - Comfortable to ride (especially for long distances - Large storage (should fit a TUMI carry-on sized backpack with a 15" laptop - some3thing like this: https://www.tumi.com/p/search-backpack-01424801041/) - Budget up to 175k but the lower the better, of course I do like the Forza 300 and XMAX 300 but would those be practical/maneuverable at all for the occasional rides within BKK? Any cheaper models that would suit the purpose of long distance driving too? Thanks!
