thaiguzzi Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 At the fairly cheap motorbike shop..... New? Second hand? Size? Capacity? Brand preference? Moped, scooter, big bike? How long is a ball of string? Hence why you will get a bunch of daft answers without being more specific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maca Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 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 Maca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx123 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
