sinewave Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 So many automatic step through bikes I dont know where to start looking. She needs something automatic, I need her to be on something sure footed, good handling and with ample power to get out of trouble. So if you can recommend a year and model, I'd really appreciate it.......if it was up to me she'd be on a Raider/CBR help fellas..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 At 15,000 baht pretty much your looking at the Yamaha Mio. and a fairly old one at that. bump it up to about 20,000 then maybe a Suzuki 125 ( they are lovely bikes, fast and responsive) Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinewave Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 20,000 should be fine, and id be fine with a suzuki (i like the underdog sentiment of suzuki) but out of curiousity how much is a used honda click? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I do not know the market. But someone posted here about getting a repoed bike (9 months?) at an auction for something like your budget. Shop around!Personally, I believe Honda is top dog and offers higher build quality than Yamaha. My wife keeps using a motorcycle taxi, sitting sideways when she wears a skirt. Kinda dangerous versus riding herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelmate Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Save the money and just give her 20baht a day for motorcycle taxi. Good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinewave Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 yes i suppose all motorcycle taxi fares are 20 baht countrywide, and doesnt matter where you are going. she has to go to a beautician school requiring a fare of 50 baht each way (100 baht total) 30 days a month for 6 months. at the end of 6 months this will equal 18,000 baht...at this time i will sell the bike to either upgrade, or if it foreseeable, break up with her if she starts to become evil. only time will tell, but my wallet will be safe and not so deflated if i purchase a bike now and keep it in my name.

icequeen Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I bought an 8 month old honda click last year from a finance company, it was a reposession and I paid baht 23,000. I am really happy with it and would recommend it to anyone. I'm sure you can pick up a similar bike if not a bit older for 15-20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
