Honda 50cc Scooters

[tomartoh]

GF wants a scooter. she hasnt ridden one for 20 years since she had an accident so I dont feel inclined to pay 44,000bahts for a Yamaha Fino as per her request.

I have seen a few of these little Honda scooters and at the price, I believe less than 10,000b, will probably fit the bill for standing around doing nothing as i dont think she will ride a bike again.

Does anyone know of a shop/dealer who sells them in CR or possibly CM. Bangkok too far away

Thanks

I think at that price Tom it will be 2nd hand. A new motorbike/scooter will be 30.000 upwards. Even a 50cc bike.

But, I am going to ask/beg you not to buy a 50cc scooter for your GF because they are the worst sounding bikes on the market. The high, pitched model aeroplane type, engine sound will drive you crazy Just buy her a 100cc Honds Wave/Dream. you should be able to get a new one for around 34,000Bt. It will last forever if you take care of it.

I am just cutting my losses with the 50cc scooter. She wants a Fino really [44000b]. dont know why, but in any event whatever I buy she wont ride so i might as well as buy a cheap 50cc and get it resprayed in 'hello kitty' colours that she likes. She wont ride it nor will I, so the noise wont be a problem. She did fancy one of the 50's with a canopy [35,000b], but I persuaded her that they are unstable going around corners.

It always used to be gold for her birthday. That was easier.

The scooters you mention are 3,500 up to 6,000 . no book and number plate , police knows and keep watching and be happy to see people ride. Anyhow, if you use in the village or out of the main town , it should be ok . Sure your GF prefere FINO coz 50cc is OUT > > > out of fashion but Fino presently is in ,

These wee Honda scooters you are talking about I'm sure are called Honda Dio's. They are a bugger to start but when running are OK. If your intent on getting a little 50cc scooter try to get a Honda Chaly. Much better.

Read that the Honda Giorno 50cc it’s in Thai translator says 25,000 baht 5000 down will ship to you from Bangkok.

 

I’m going to see if I can find one in the Northeast might buy for the niece if she gets a DL. She a good student and not a goofball. Top speed is 35-40 Kmh looks a bit retro

 

Downside is with low speed in few months will get old.
