Suzuki Raider 150 R Honda Sonic

[pete600]

Hi just looking at http://www.motorcycle.in.th/article.php/Th...ki-Raider-150-R

Is the Raider still available in Thailand. Been to a few Suzuki shop but they say it's finished. Can't even find ant 2nd hand ones. Same story with Sonic a few local garages say you can still get them but i have yet to find one. Well there is a 2nd hand sonic in the local honda shop in Patong. Slightly Modified, supper motard wheels wide bars and a box on the back. But they want 50k for it been in there for at least 5 months.

Any suggestions where i should be looking for ether bike.

Thanks

Pete

For a few months the Suzuki Distributor, which mainly operates in the South of Thailand, called Baan Suzuki was distribution Raider R 150's, but now believe this is also ended.

For most part of Thailand, and exception of some southern province the Suzuki R 150 is not available. (as new)

They still have Honda Sonics for sale here in the shops in Rangsit. New.

What can I say, I like all dealers in Thailand follow information from Honda. Honda's CEO (worldwide) said early 2009 that Honda Thailand will not sell carburettor motorcycles /scooters int 2010.

I saw a new Raider in a dealer in Nawamin Road a few months ago.

As mentioned in another thread, I have yet to see a real live Raider....I'm sure they're out there but I've seen more V-maxes than them....

[pete600]

Thanks for the info.

I have tried to call Baan Suzuki on 0274342800 which was posted on a earlier thread. But the number dose not seem to work.

Looks like i will just have to keep my eyes out for a good 2nd hand Raider/Sonic.

Thanks again

Open to offers. It's sitting in the shed waiting for someone to claim it I have a rear box but it looks naff.

You have a V-max?

Or were you offering to show me something else of yours (a la playing doctors as children and a verboten subject on ThaiVisa)?

to the original poster, here is a picture of my restored raider..not an especially great pic.

Restored...down to almost every nut and bolt, actually not finished yet.

Even has new fork tubes, clutch springs, plates, cable, every available bearing, brake discs, brake pads, all new plastics, YSS 4-way adjustable shock, nui rearsets, adjustable brake and clutch levers, super sticky tires.

I'll probably be selling it in April, located in chiang mai. Runs beautifully, 140KPH on flat ground. But, it won't be cheap.

PM me if interested.

I notice you have fitted an aftermarket gearchanger

can you please tell me what make/ model it is, where you bought it from, the price

and did you have to modify anything to make it fit.

same info for the adjustable clutch and brake levers if you would be so kind.

There are various aftermarket kickstarters available which extend the kickstarter on a joint and get it out past those nui rearsets so they dont hit the footpegs.

Classic, you like to turn your bikes around quickly, I vaguely remember saying something similar to you about my Raider (which I still dont want to sell).....I will be interested to see what you get for it.
