You maybe surprised with the 125 Yamaha hybrid, cheap to run too... The 'Hybrid', electric bit is used to increase power on launch etc, I was surprised.

For getting around, doing groceries etc with passenger from time to time. I like the look of having one of those boxes for storage on the back. Budget ? Im Pcx fan, because of the storage under the seat and additional 35L top box will do a great job. Anyway everone have an opinion so it is you who are going to be satisfied. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloquent pilgrim Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Vespa 150 Primavera or Sprint - iGet - ABS; combines an incomparable sense of aesthetics with modern technology and mechanics.

There is bike price + registration (plate, tax govt insurance and yellow book) + rip off theft insurance. don't take the theft insurance instead see a broker and buy 1st class insurance. Prices vary, for example in Pattaya the Mityon dealers charge more for nothing, kinda falang tax so shop around, out of town if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If budget is not your top consideration, buy the Honda ADV 160. It is a great bike for around town. If you might take some shorter road trips with it, the new Honda ADV 350 or the Forza 350 are both alot of bike for the money, but not cheap at 175,000 and up. I would avoid the Click and similar bikes, if you are over 80 kg. They are built for smaller people and are just not very stable or comfortable to ride. And buy new. It is worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Honda ADV as opposed to Honda PCX or Forza (is that Honda?)? I must check YouTube there is bound to be reviews of all these bikes on there somewhere. Im prob a little less than 80kg.

Like it alot more than the Yamaha Xmax 350. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the optional under-seat box and you have great storage. Comes with built in "hooks" for shopping bags and can put a box of wine on the floor. Fast enough for Bangkok traffic and nimble in tight places. ???? Edited January 25, 2023 by VocalNeal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife & myself were always a tad over max load on the Wave 125, and quite noticeable in the performance. Hardly notice when she's on the E-MB. DECOs are considerably higher, as mine is 200kg, though will definitely affect range. Even their smallest, 1000w models will handle 150kg.

On arrival al I grabbed an ADV 160 at the resort to get through traffic instead if driving the car. The ADV seems strong for a smaller bike, and is half the size of my X-Max 300. With myself and the GF on the bike it pulled the hill to big Buddah ok, but I am 90kg and she is 45kg, so it was about maxed out. For a single male it would be a satisfactory get around town bike. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Clicks have been fantastic and are perfect for around town. The 125 maybe a little under-powered for a larger pillion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
