Buying cheap no brand bike from Lazada

[Wlad7777]

Hi,

can someone explain, is it possible to register no brand bike after buying it at Lazada? Any opinion on this one, for example: https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i3638249080-s14275846734.html?spm=a2o4m.cart.0.0.6b816108NK01RJ&urlFlag=true

 

 

many thanks

Yes it is possible. But .... if it breaks down , spare parts could be a serious issue ( regardless of assurances seller might give ). Resale value will also not be to good.

 

A second hand jap bike in good condition would be a safer purchase.

I bought a secondhand 2008 Yamaha TTX scooter about 9 years ago, 23,000 baht.

8300 km on the odometer, now 27,000. Has not missed a beat, apart from a sticking accelerator cable two months ago.

The fact that there is not a single video on YouTube featuring this motorbike tells you all you need to know about this bike.  Some importer bought whatever quantity he needed for them to slap whatever name he pleased on them.

You Tube is full of videos of people who have bought any number of cheap Chinese vehicles.  Most of them are not happy stories.

 

What this does look like is a parts-bin special. It appears to be a copy of a Honda Wave. Cheap copies of almost every Honda motorbike part are made in China, including copy engines. All some shophouse factory has to do is buy binfull of these cheap parts and assemble a copy bike.

As others have said, better off spending 20K on a decent used model with a green book and plate already there.

Zongzen produces over a million moto/year.

My 7-y/o Lifan runs great.

Registration should not be an issue.

Not to worry, do what the Thais do if theres

a police check point ahead,--

turn left, or turn round a go the other way,--

remember, its best to do this before the checkpoint, not after.

It's a Honda knock-off. Parts everywhere. 

 

As has been said the big question is why? For the same money one can buy a good used bike, which is already here.
