The Bike I want to buy here in Thailand.

[Don Graham]

Good day people, I am interested in buying a 1985 Honda Shadow 500cc. If in excellent condition I will pay 100,000B You may be required to transport the bike to my home in Chonbari/Bangsaen

Hi Don

The chances that someone here has one for sale will be pretty slim, especially in good condition and even more importantly, with a green book (registration).

Have you checked the usual classifieds?
BahtSold, Craigslist Thailand, Facebook Marketplace, Kaidee...

Racer, I know its a long shot. I road this kind of bike every day for 11 years when I lived in LA. Most of the time was spent in rush-hour traffic. Never had an accident on that bike. I think the reason I didn't is because of the short wheel-base and the power to weight rays heal Another reason might have to do with my attitude in regards to fore-wheeler. The attitude was that all these people are tying to kill me LOL! My eyes are always focused 100-500 years ahead of were I am. I am looking for the drive that looking to kill me because he dose not see me coming.

That's a lovely bike. 

Don't see them about though. 

Mainly see a lot of steeds on the road. 

Good luck.

There are many on FB marketplace. Be careful though, several are without book.

That was a good explanation while others have  buddhas Blessing and others bling bling on their bikes To feel safe.

Go to the "bike room" at the  hospital and you will change your mind...

Good attitude. So hopefully you didn't/don't pass cars when the traffice is moving by skinning between cars by driving on 'the line' (which I think is fine when all the cars are stopped). Just remember here the number of people trying to kill you is much higher, even though the 'rules' favor the little guy (motorcycle/bicycle).

 

I've thought about the bike route. I rode a Suzuki 500 in the early '70 until a 10 wheeler pulled in front of me. Yes, it hurt. I think about that time and compare it to the Thai roads and drivers, then I forget my thoughts about a bike here. Good Luck, stay safe and healthy.

And yet the bike you are after reminds me of my childhood  bicycle that had trainer wheels on it.

 

Be a man Don and buy a decent Shadow with 1100cc's.

Memories!  I used to own one of these jewels.  A great ride with good power.  Was the perfect bike for the hills of New Hampshire.

Mega, Trolls are not welcome here. My manhood is not the question here motorcycles are the topic at hand.

[Gandtee]

Now you have posted what you want I would suggest all owners keep their models of this bike under lock and key! Bikes knocked off to order.????

[mirage]

That will be very difficult to find in Thailand. Did you look at the Honda steed ?. 400 cc or 600 cc. I have seen a couple of those for sale over the past few months.
