what do I look for when buying something like this?

I'm happy 'having a go' at general maintenance, I suppose what would worry me most is knowing if it's a good engine and if the chassis is 'straight'?

cheers

Price is too good to be true.

 

Bike has no registration document. I'm not sure what that means 100% in Thailand, but in every other country I've lived in it means don't touch it.

yeah but it's got a number plate by the looks of it.......bizarre, maybe it got 'written off' in a flood or something like that?

Whatever the circumstances buying a bike in Thailand without a Green book will lead to it being g confiscated if you ride on the road and you get stopped by the police.

Many people buy a bike on payments,when they can not pay any longer some people just move so the money lender can not find them.

These bikes come up for sale but you will never own it.

The book is with the bank or money lenders.

I am not sure what they say tax can be renewed but either way i would stay clear of a bike like that.

When you get stopped it will be bye bye bike.

Look for a real deal.

No green book means that in 99.9% of cases the bike is stolen.
