driver52 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 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 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1466680454064888/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woof999 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No green book means that in 99.9% of cases the bike is stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
