Yamaha Riders Club doesn't sell the 300cc bikes, they only sell big bikes and the SR400.

What's with all the haters in the bike forum?

You are allowed to ride without a plate for 30 days, when stopped, just show the invoice and you are good to go.

It took Honda Big Wing 7 weeks to get me my plate.

Always said "maybe tomorrow", until I told them I would have them pay the fine if I got one for riding without a plate, got my plate the next day

I have more of a problem with folk who have a zillion dogs that start barking if they hear a fart....

No dog would wake upon hearing someone pass and fart. And you know it.

Cobblers...if a dog walks past my neighbors house both of his go ballistic (anytime of day or night) and keep at for a good 15min after said dog has long since passed. That is way more annoying than a noisy bike that has passed in a few seconds.

No dog round here barks when a person walk past but they all do when a HD with its noise above legal limits does. If you feel the dogs your referring to are breaking any law take appropriate action with the dog owners. The policeman referred to by the OP took appropriate action with the owner of the noisy HD and I only wish more of them would.

I heard there is still some room for you on top of the mountain above the clouds, where you are bothered by no one and can't even hear the birds chirp.

What a sad life you must have.

Why are all these haters in the bike forum?

Nothing new happening in the gardening forum?

Because we don't like being woken up in the middle of the night by a noisy motorbike ridden by an inconsiderate -deleted-.

I don't think trimming the roses causes noise pollution.

The newborn baby 2 houses down is annoying me too, should I ask those people to move or just get rid of their kid?

I think the police realised the problem this half-assed rule was causing.

How is this a political protest?

It is a protest against a ridiculous traffic law, not to abdicate someone.

I turned an XJR400 into a caferacer (work in progress)

It has an invoice, no greenbook.

Shame it has no book. makes it worthless.

Not to me, I created her, not planning on selling her either.

I don't think these are tourists.

Just make your bike look so special and all the cops will be looking at it with open mouths and congratulating you on the work.

In case you are scared they might confiscate it, make a rat bike, no cop wants to be seen on that :-)

Cool is defined as what some random chick likes.... allrighty then.

Sonia Couling has been an extremely popular host on Thai TV for what 15 to 20 years, and is considered one of the hottest ladies over 40 by many Thai men. I don't live in country in more but know that she's hardly random.

Over 40?

Forget it.

Well, she is 41.

You don't need to change your shock to lower your bike.

You need a lowering kit.

I sat on it, felt smaller than my CB500F.

Who says she didn't work as a waitress in soi nana as well?

The centaur 150 is sold in Europe under the brand name MASH, so it can't be all that bad if they are allowed on the road there too.

Nice review, still would not touch it with a bargepole. Any motorcycle with "Chinese" engineering and parts attached to it is a recipe for disaster the world over.

Also, its very cheap, which should also set alarm bells off. The corners have to be cut somewhere and frankly the Chinese just do not have the QC, testing and engineering budget / patience of the big Japaense and European companies.

It is cheaper for a reason.

Maybe all the rest is overpriced? Did you think about that?

The price of 299,000 Baht suggests that the Yamaha MT-07 is made in Thailand. I think it's around 685-690cc or so. I kinda like it, but haven't ridden it. Really, Yamaha seems to have an off-again on-again relationship with selling their bigger bikes in Thailand, and I kinda worry about long terms parts and service availability. Sukuki seems worse in that regard. Any bike for which you have to wait 3-6 months for the (wrong?) parts to arrive and can't find ready service for is definitely uncool. And so who you gonna get to work on that pretty Benelli? Once the guy opens the engine, will they know what to do?

I don't think I'd want a Harley 750, but is that one made in Thailand? Wherever it's made, I've read that it's selling quite well.

The Yamaha's are made in Japan.

Harley Street 750 is made in India.

You can use the Bhumibol bridges, normally bikes aren't allowed, but I have never seen police there.

If you really want it legal, you can use the ferry under the Bhumibol bridges for 10 baht.

Is there a stallion showroom in Bkk or Pattaya?

In BKK it is on Ramkamhaeng next to soi 79.

Should have been in the left hand lane.

Please respect the laws of Thailand.

Which laws would those be? Presumably the ones 90% of Thai drivers don't know, and 99% of the RTP prefer to pretend don't exist.

Apparently you don't ride a motorbike.

All motorbikes should always ride on the left, that is the law and the police will fine you if you are in any other lane.

I saw it many time and telling many time .. if the motorbikes STAY left, pass LEFT when it is save it would avoid 70 % of the serious accidents !

swish from left to right and back again, cutting other vehicles, not seeing what is coming other side, or what's happening in front of the car, driving on a middle line between fast driving cars in both directions ... hanging close behind a car to look to overtake, if this car suddenly stop ...

and then suddenly appear from between to cars in front of the left driving motorbike ..

STAY LEFT, NOT BEHIND A CAR and you avoid a lot of dangerous situations for you and for the car drivers

Stay left? I don't know where you live, but where I live, the left lane is the most dangerous lane.
