How long is a ball of string?

 

Hence why you will get a bunch of daft answers without being more specific.

If you don't want to waste any time with repairing the bike, want one of the cheapest options and can invest about 43k: Buy a new Honda Wave 110i

In the top configuration (front disc brake and electric starter) it costs you 43k THB. You have 3 years or 30k kms warranty (if you just use it for trips to 7/11 you won't reach the 30k in 3 years), so if anything should fail they will fix it and you don't have to think about costs. All you have to pay for is the service every 6k kms (a few hundred THB), and if you should keep it long enough maybe you need to get a new chain, new tires or new brake pads, but each of these doesn't cost more than a few hundred THB. After 3 years when the warranty is over you can easily sell this bike for 30k+ THB

So effectively you pay 3-4k THB per year for a new bike and no worries, and a little bit extra for the service. Then you just buy a new bike.

 

If you want to spend a little bit more: Honda Wave 125i

Works the same way, but costs 53-56k new (depending on where you buy and if you want spoke or mag wheels) and the loss when selling will be slightly higher.

 

Honda Waves hold their resale value very well and this kind of bike has the lowest maintenance costs.

 

Jackdd thanks for that, as I know nothing about motorbikes that's why I was asking. I didn't expect a lecture from a bunch of so called experts

People are just confuse because you didn't give enough details in your question. 

 

There are many different kind of bikes for different purposes. Tell us more of what you're looking for and for what use it'll be and maybe we can give better answers too. 

 

Generally, smaller bikes are cheap you can just buy new. With bigger bikes, you can find a lot of used big bikes for sale that are reasonably priced too.
