Can someone give me a email addy or website for this company....yes i have tried google maybe my spelling is in correct..

Hey good choice YankeeWhat ya got there? 2003-04 600rr?

Its a 2003 cbr600rr. Needs a few things to get ready but the price was right...first on the list is tires as it has 2007s on it now....

Great choice- it's will fit you really well, and it's as reliable as a hammer.

You're gonna care if it goes sliding at 100, though.

Yes i will care but not about the bike.....

Nothing wrong with yer thinking in my book mate - go for it!

And enjoy the 'turbine' like power

Thanks- I've been looking forward to it for a while- if I get hurt or killed on it, though, the 'I told you so' brigade is gonna have a field-day.

If that happens i doubt you will give a rats ass about the brigade..... lets hope i doesnt and get to cm to open her up....

I wonder why I'm now looking at this forum?

Almost 4 years of er6n ownership are coming to an end?

Keep those good times rolling...

Maybe black is more beautiful then white

There's NEVER any waiting in Nakhon Sawan. Just take a bus, take the paperwork you need, the right amount of cash and ride home on your new bike. Khun Surasak is a great guy. If you are nice, he might even buy you lunch. I simply cannot understand the waiting so many people do when there are other options. Insanity.

I cant understad why Khun Surasak doesnt do a little advertising. He has missed the boat on many sales...I cant understand how poorly some people run there business....

If its invoiced at 400 euro i would be shocked if duty is under 5000baht

There are several different companies making copies- the company above is selling the stand for 320 + 80 for the wheels- assuming 20% less for non-EU countries (I think it's 19%, actually), it's not much less than the Bursig at around 320 Euros- I didn't see shipping info- if it's the same rate, it's not a bad deal, but for that small of a difference I'd rather stick with the original.

250 Euros maybe...

Shipping cost me 85 Euros in Oct 2010. I just checked the store and shipping is now 89 Euros to Thailand

Stand: 301.68 EUR

Adaptor Plate: 67.23 EUR

Rolls Adaptor: 50.42 EUR

I jjsut checked my order history on Bursig's website and tt took 11 days to go DHL to Thailand.

Gary do you have a record of the dhl/customs fees when it arrived here?

The world's problem is the the USDollar is the reserve currency for many and still the medium of exchange for more than half of the international trade of many kinds. The Chinese have been busy making currency swap agreements with many countries but it's a slow process switching. As the dollar loses its appeal as the reserve/exchange/safe haven, it'll diminish in importance AND be able to sink to its economically-valued level, especially with a total lack of fiscal discipline. All of this could be totally wrong if fiscal common sense is restored that leads to a resurgence. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Hmm lets see who's gonna trade dollars for rmb? No one that i know.....

And bikes in Bangkok are not issued red plates like in the provinces even though Bangkok police are still conveniently citing people for not having a plate. I assume LL is in the big mango.

Same in Chiang Mai no red plates available.

But when one considers how backed up they have been for the last two years for

plates it is not surprising. They would literally need thousand of red plates.

They do give you an official document to carry though & that should get you past the cops.

Although I have never been stopped.

I don't think the problem is a backlog of plates, as dealers make their own.

A friend of mine was cited for not having a plate after buying a new Tiger 250. He was told by the agent to show the sales receipt and docs but the cop told him every bike in Thailand must have a plate. This was in Phuket.

Anybody can make a plate but it is not a government issued plate....I am surprised at the delay as the quality issue has been resolved....I dont remember when LL got his bike but my bike has BKK plates also and it only took around 2 months....

Good lord Thaivisa. Turn on automatic image resize.

They are resized for me.

Where's the license plate? I'm always suspicious of people who think it's really cool not to have a license on their ride every since I had a guy hit me and run away. Running drugs maybe...maybe not? Or simply what do you have to hide? But do have a safe trip.

So suspicious?

It is a new bike & new bikes like new cars now can take up to 6 months to get their plates

Bought my Ninja before Christmas 2012 still waiting for mine

should have gotten it alteady. mine (plate) came almost 2 months ago. Bike arrived before christmas too.

So as long as i can remember you had to wait months for a er6n or z1000. Today you can get either one with no waitng in bkk or pattaya. I asked and they were cutomer orders but they arent following through with the purchase. I wonder how much the new honda is cutting in to kawasakis business?

i have been asked for a copy [of my book] several times and believe its required. It makes sense as how would they know who owns the bike without it?

Yes off-course you have to have a copy of the green book on you at all times, as you said it's proof of ownership.

Also in the West you have to carry this.

Not in California and I believe most states in America. You do not have to carry the title in the vehicle, nor a copy of it. Only the DMV registration and proof of insurance.

...I pretty sure you are supposed to carry your greenbook for the bike at all times...

You do not need to carry your green or blue book with the vehicle. Only a copy.

In the usa the registration has the information needed to verify the vehicles legality so the title would not be needed (unlike thailands tax sticker)...Also in the last 20 years the (usa) police can instantly run a computer check on any vehicle...

I very much doubt any of these volunteers can read Thai so what is the point of handing them your documents that are of coarse written in Thai,it's just more people in jobs that they are not really qualified to do ,nothing new there really half the country seems to be filled with people in job positions which involves things they simply don't have a clue about.Some read and speak Thai quite well actually, many don't. Since they work side by side with Thai police, if you hand them Thai documents then of course the Thai's will read it. I am curious though what Thai documents you are talking about. A DL is in English and Thai, a green book is in Thai, but an farangs name will be with roman letters. I don't read much Thai but the rest of the info in a book I am able to discern because I am familiar with green and blue books, I am sure the volli's are too.

all my vehicles are in the wifes name so they are not even gonna be able to read who the owner of the vehicle is my insurance documents are also in thai so yes unless they read thai pretty pointless handing them a bunch of documents in thai.Sent from my GT-P7500 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

taninthai, please pay attention to the quotes. I did not say what you have me saying in your post. You said that.Firstly, have you actually had any cop ask you for your green or blue book in the LOS? You are not required to carry it. So what "bunch of Thai documents" are you handing over? 13 years driving all over Thailand I never have nor have I ever heard of anyone having to show their book as long as they had a plate, current tax disk, and license. Most people don't carry their book with their bike or car. I don't.Secondly, anyone can compare the name on a Thai ID to that on a book without being able to read Thai. As for the tax, the only tax you need to show is the compulsory tax disk, which one only needs to be able to read "2556" or "2557" and if it's in the current year, then you need to be able to read the month which isn't difficult to learn, or, as the volli mentioned did, use a cheat sheet until you do learn. If you are handing over your voluntary 1st class insurance documents or other documents at check points, then you are doing so unnecessarily.

ll the one you see in post 10. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/599767-saddlebags-touring-bags-where/?p=5885056 nothing fancy but for the amount i use them they are fine.

In regards ro reading thai. My swiss/german cop had a cheat sheet when he looked at my tax tag. he said "expires in july"

the US-Dollar will not fall. period!

So true as what would replace it?

well if this was my country or if i had my wife i might show my ass. Since that wasnt the case i acted like i was swiss.

LL agree but not sure they would be very good at helping injured elephants

I should have added to my post that no one knows if the Thai baht will continue to appreciate or not. However if you have a fairly reasonable amount in a U.S.D. currency account you might consider putting 50% of it into a Thai baht account. Hedge you bets.

I guess i am the minority. I just took a bunch of baht and bought usd.

Driving from soi siam to pattya tai today. I saw a few pickups in the road and some people in orange jump.suits. If this was america one would assume they were a chain gang there to clean the road. It then became apparent it was the normal pull as many bike in and write tickets. So in i go and was directed to one of at least 50 people doing the check. To my surprise the person who asked for my license was a falang. Then i looked around and saw at least another 6 falangs working with the thais doing this check. Since i had all my documents and my checker was german i was out of there in quick german fashion.

I have never seen this and curious if its the new norm?

I have to agree with ticketM. I will never order through dhl, ups or fedex to thailand. Usps, royal post and air frieght are my choices. I am not sure what customs catagory the stand is but all goods have a different % rate.

Dealing with a kawasaki dealership they will never have it transfered when money is exchanged. I can not speak for the salesman but kawa big bikes/mityon is not in the business of ripping people off. They have no less then 25 dealerships in pattaya. If i was concerned i would pay with a bank check.
