hannabee Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I am wondering where the best places to buy cheap used motorcycles/mopeds. Being of the vertically challenged kind, I am looking for something pretty small that's fairly easy to ride. I am hoping to pay 7,000 baht, preferably under but I don't know if that's reasonable. I would really appreciate any suggestions on where to look. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) You could try the motor ads you can find elsewhere on TV (that's Thai Visa). 7000baht You might end up with more trouble than it's worth at that price. Try starting at 20.000baht for something decent. Edited January 30, 2009 by BSJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hssl Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If your in Pattaya have a look at the auctions on Thepersit, though 7k is pretty low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard-BKK Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Maybe you can buy a secondhand JRD scooter for 7,000 Baht... I saw that a new JRD scooter around 23,000 Baht costs so secondhand probably much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowery99 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 http://www.pantipmarket.com/automobile/index.php?grp2=4 and http://www.mocyc.com/store but be warned 50ccs you should search on this forum for info about and anything 7000Bht, well it is going to be very old or a POS and might have legal paper issues. I guess what I am saying is search is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanh-BKK Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi If you're in BKK get hold of a Yamaha RXZ. It's not a moped but a decent bike which can be modified in may ways, including lowered. Ample power, 135cc two-stroke, these tend to keep running and running and running. I own two of those, one has done 82,000 +unknown (had no speed meter cable when i got it with 41,000) and the other has done 83,000 kilometers. In my soi is one that has 120k+ kilometers on it, first engine obviously. Oh yeah, you an get RXZ's in decent condition for 5,000+ Baht, or run-down ones for 2,000. Every "Somchai" shop can work on those old buggers, regular service and spares are dirt cheap. Best regards..... Thanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
