Just got a 12 year old Phantom with supposedly low milage .Are parts still readily available for this model if needed  ? 

Yes, parts available.

If you take good care of it, it runs forever. Spare parts also very cheap. Every village has a Somchai that is able to service it.

 

In my area there is a Thai Group riding only that model, they have "BIG PHANTOM" patches on the back of there jackets. In that combination it looks somewhat tacky ?, but I have seen Phantoms with more than 100 k KM and still going strong. For the TA 200 it is recommended to change the Cam Chain Tensioner every 20000km or if it starts to get noisy earlier. 

 

Around 2007 I had also a TA 200. Drove it for 4 years, zero problems. Slow but bulletproof.

Didn't fiind that spare parts are cheap, the carb needed to be replaced as part-wise made of plastic, and it cost me more than THB 8 k at the local Honda dealer.

Engine lives forever but has a big lack of power uphill.

http://Engine parts are available. Bodyparts (mudguards, tank etc.) more difficult to source.
