Popular Post EVENKEEL Posted September 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2021 kaidee.com is pretty good. Many guys in Bangkok area have used bike shops and advertise on kaidee.com. Go on facebook and check out KPsuperbike, mibsuperbike, chai999bike. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Two for sale on Kaidee and + a few more: https://www.kaidee.com/product-363009095 https://www.kaidee.com/product-363196166 Just be a bit careful, many had the tacho wound back, used BKK dealers are notoriously know for doing that.

No, you can never be 100% sure, however a few things can minimize the risk of tampering. 1: Is there a service book provided with the bike? In there are, you can check at which date the bike was serviced and at xxx km's. This is the best indicator, a dedicated owner will always keep the book updated. 2: The less owners the better, see above. 3: General appearance of the bike, if it looks haggard the owner is likely not taking good care of his bike. Foot rest/handle grips very worn on a low km bike! Alarm bells going off and so on. 4: I would be very reluctant buying a bike from a 2nd hand dealer unless he have the service book, no service book; alarm bells going off. 5: I heard that the green book will have accidents entered in the back, something to check. I bought my big bike from an expat here in Pattaya, I could see within 5 min that he was a dedicated owner, service book in order off-course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) I bought a big bike at one of the second hand guys in Bangkok. The service book was there but never used. Still in it's plastic folder the same as manual. A 2018 with 12,000km, good amount of special extras and the guy had all the original parts. It looked brand new. You know it's a gut feeling you have, for me anyway. Saw another guy's bikes as well, one had a dead battery and he knew I was coming. When you see a 3 yr old bike with only 2000km I get uneasy. Took it to the Triumph dealer in Pattaya for oil change and to generally check it out. All good. Edited September 8, 2021 by EVENKEEL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
