I would very much like one of those in the UK.....but not in Thailand.

 

Many times I have thought about importing.

 

 

Why would you want one in the UK   but not Thailand ?

When I went to UK for work I missed my "Suzy Uki"   but never thought about importing.

Why 4k only? 

The smaller bikes don't have an oil filter.

Yes keep it out of the sun and rain  when at all possible.  You can't help the humidity unless you keep it in an airconditioned room...beware cats scratching the seat,rodents,birds,snakes nesting  and those wasps that make mud huts in strange places.

Slightly off topic but; Ahhh those tiny tiny ferking wasps that make this mess are even worse, its like tar and nothing will dissolve it, it's like their honey, had to scrape it off best I could. And they kept coming back in swarms, spray with double dose of insecticide and run for your life.

Protect the Ignition switch from rain a bit of WD 40 squirted in/on the key now and again, use a tire shine silicon spray to protect the tires from UV.

My top tip for riding or driving either one, is not to do so broke. 

 

If you have no money, don’t go.

Honda Wave doesn't have an oil filter   Suzuki Raider and Yamaha Spark have one  for sure.
