Hi there

looking to buy a decent second hand Forza bike or similar in isaan

see a few down in Bangkok or Pattaya, but would prefer to buy more local if possible

I'm in Nakon Phanom, but can travel a few hours from here if needed

I know i can buy new from the dealers, but would prefer to save some money and buy second hand

Do any dealers sell used ones ?

Anyone got a bike for sale, maybe a couple of years old, low miles

thanks

Had to look up Forza looks like a good bike. Up here near Udon Thani 

have yamaha, Honda dirt bikes a bit pricey. Have seen a couple places 

sell a Chinese brand but would be concerned quality for long term use. 

 

Take a look at GPX see attached. I’d have the Legend street bike for

2-1/2 years. Only problem was speedometer and front fork leak which

were bth replaced at NC.

Thanks for the link, much appreciated

Take some time and wait for the right one, there is always another one appears, be careful if you are new to buying in Thailand, it is best to be very cautious when buying used.

I am sorry I know very little about motor bikes, but If you view something that you are not happy with give it a miss and have a look around, also if you have limited knowledge bring a friend and compare the findings. On that webpage I sent you lots of foreigners selling bikes, but do not think its only the Thais that tell porkies. 

 

Due to the crazy driving over here I like the 4 wheel mode of transport.

+1 Thais do not maintain anything but still want near new price when selling.

May I be number 3 to concur with this advice.

 

Not to say you can't pick up a good second hand bike for a decent price in Thailand but as previous posters state :-

New prices are low

Second-hand prices are high

Maintenance is often ignored

Consumer protection is very weak and if buying person-to-person is non-existent.

 

If you insist on buying second-hand, you either have to have a sound mechanical knowledge of motorbikes in general and the model you are after and/or personally know the person you are buying it off (preferably a trustworthy foreigner).

New prices are low ?  170,000 baht

18 months to 2 years old, full service history, 95 -120,000

so a saving of 50-70,000, ?

i would love to buy new, but also need to save where possible

lots of the bigger bikes seem to have less usage, with better maintenance than the little waves and scoobies which are thrashed to within 1 inch of their lives every day

But thanks for the replies, always welcome
