    Take no notice of the speed freaks, you definatly dont want a fast bike in thailand, the guys on the 125s still get killed even if they are slower, a chopper style is probably the way to go here, and ive been a sports bike rider all my life, but in thailand ? no way, sit back and go steady

    Totally agree there, I spent about 5 years living there and as I lived in Bkk I ended up with a Phantom, a bigger bike in bangers just gets you stuck in traffic all the time. In the UK it's been sports/road bikes all the way. I found the state of the roads in Thailand to be appalling and holes/drain covers dirt/oil everywhere. Sports bikes will just get you into trouble, customs or road bikes are the way to go IMO.

    If I were doing a lot of travelling around LOS then a bigger cc than 400 would be essential, on mountain roads a lot of grunt is very useful and I found the relaxed position and lower speeds of a custom the right mixture whilst enjoying the scenery and pleasure of cruising around and still being safe.

    I have ridden bikes all my life and I would say SE Asia is one of the most dangerous places to ride a motorcycle. The quality of roads, reckless driving, volume of traffic, lack of protective clothing ( too hot ) means you have to be extra careful. If you have an accident in LOS it's likely to cost you, and the lack of protective clothing is probably going to mean more serious injuries.

    Do not take any notice of those going on about speed here it will get you more trouble than it's worth.You only have one body don't forget that.

    You are right of-cause, sports-bikes are very dangerous, but the feeling of opening up the trottle on a curvy back-road with not to many holes :D is incredible, or going around 100 to 120KPH in 2nd gear and pull a power-wheelie :D .....Cant do that on a Phantom, so I'm willing to take risk, and I have be eating dust a few times :o . I know, its not the sensible way, but then again, neither is sleeping, most people die in there beds :bah: I prefere having my boots on, or being shot at the age of 85, by a jealous husband.

    Regards

    :D Your a long time dead, so live life to the full,as for being shot ! learn to be more discreet. :D

    I am looking at buying a new bike ,I have had a few bikes before but know very little about them as such ,so I thought I would ask the guys on Tv with experience to give me their opinion.The three bikes I have chosen fits my budget and the style I like, all replies welcome

    Regards

    Madyakka :D

    None of them, a Honda Wave 125 can out-run any of those 400cc, even up-hill, and that would I not be able to bare. :D

    Regards

    Tilapia.

    :D well as I have a honda wave at the moment :o I doubt it,although I get your point :D

    what would you recomend?I have chosen 400cc only because of the price ,

    Regards

    Where exactly do you live? I am down here in Hau Hin, and also looking for people with fiberglass or plastic sea touring kayaks to go river, ocean, or lake adventuring. I ow a 17' fiberglass boat, which makes it faster then sit on top kayaks, where people paddle for an hour or so, then want to go home. I like longer trips, 20 km or in that neighborhood, venturing out to some small islands off Hau Hin area. If you like to talk more contact me-

    Is there any whitewater in Nakhonsawan? Mountains? If yes please let me know and i might consider a trip up north...

    Hi Marco there is plenty of water in Nakhonsawan ,3 rivers converge to make the Chao Phraya which runs down the heart of the country through Bangkok and to the sea and also Bung Borapet Thailands largest fresh water lake.However I am unaware of any white water in the area as yet.

    I am waiting on my boat coming from NZ and have been looking for retailers here but so far no luck,
