As for Ducati, hated working on them. Always helping with what we have and can, and thais are great to offer transport and often do not want any money, it is not about helping or not, it is about reliability of the brand, especially here In Thailand, and before also in Europe. Not sure how it is these days if they brought up their service line to as good as any Japanese or europe brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads in the US in some spots were pretty bad and you needed to drive slow due to the undulations and soft asphalt which happens during the summer heat. Roads I rode on in the UK were pretty beat up, well back in 2011 that is. In the north of Thailand, Udon Thani the main roads were pretty good, its the idiot drivers that you need to be concerned of everywhere in the world. Thai folks just don't ever look before they merge lanes on there bikes. Your not coming from the right angle excuse the pun, HERE's just one example where in UK do you see four kids riding a motorbike to school getting knocked off and killed by someone driving a truck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair call, I would just say I found a well maintained Harley and even more so after every ride a maintained Ducati ???? can be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BE88 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Stay with Aerox ABS if you decide not to do big tours in TH but use it every day within your usual 30km from home. Otherwise forget the scooters but buy yourself a real motorbike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking my experience and impression on the bike, and I prefer sports tourer and adventure bikes, and HD do not have any of those qualities Im looking for. And truth is, same as for many brands in Thailand, they lack the good service line and support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WHansen Posted January 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2023 Collected the 2023 Xmax 300 Tech Max yesterday. I find the scooter very nice to ride and the harsh rear suspension that has been reported elsewhere is not a problem for me. I set the springs on the softest setting. I do not have a riding background, so those that have, may say it is on the firm side. One thing i will say though, is the Garmin streetcross navigation app is... nothing short of useless. I am in Cha am and the damn thing couldn't even find the Honda or Yamaha dealerships which are only 3ks from me. Couldn't find Immigration at Phetchaburi etc etc. So if any readers are interested in the new Xmax Tech Max with the navigation screen, i would advise you to save your money and get the cheaper model and use google maps on your phone which i will be doing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are big, heavy and expensive for town but not upto the job for touring. An Aerox or Click/ADV 160 is more than sufficient in town. If you do alot of touring get a proper 500+cc bike. I find my Forza 300 great for touring and riding around town, Though I am never in a hurry and happy to be riding about 60-70 Kph out on the highway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback, most people complain about Forza or Xmax shocks are comparing apples and oranges, or are on the heavy side themselves, or ride two up.... I'm surprised with that Garmin sat nav shortcomings, that is their biggest selling point...! I actually don't like these TFT digital screens, I prefer old analog dials on older versions ... I saw one of these yesterday up close, sorry , but what ugly headlights... !? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Had Garmin for years in N. America But in Asia they do not update often. Business concentrated in Americas and Europe. Use OSM here - much better. All factory head units are not even close to an aftermarket one. Replaced ALL of mine. 4 wheels Android Auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
