Hi folks, finally decided on the Suzuki Hayate with FI for my around Pattaya ride. Only trouble is no scooter shop in Patters will give me a good deal. It's 53.000 baht take it or leave it.

So, where can I go to get a good deal?

My dealer in CM wanted 51,500 for spokes (including license plate and book, basic ins.), wouldn't budge for cash either.

Have no idea if this is a result of Suzuki having a new distribution plan this year.

Hi CMX, the one I want has alloy wheels. I also looked at the Yamaha MX with alloy wheels, but the Hayate has Fuel Injection and a removable(replaceable) engine oil filter which I consider an important feature.

Maybe we can score a better deal if we buy one in Bangkok???

I surrendered. We always pay something more up here, and now there's but one dealer (official S, with symbol and building etc.), so far as I know; my favorite independent does not carry 'Zuki any more. Also, I find that Bkk is a hassle, transportation to that megalopolis included; haven't even studied the paper chase involved, as I knew I didn't want to do it - so I paid the dealer here.

Paid 53.5 with alloys, but they don't know anything about tubeless tires. As I'm driving around 50k per day on standard IRC's, I figure to be able to research tubeless after a year or so and x many flat tires. Incidentally, I got a jacket, helmet, oil, oil filter with the deal, which translated into a jacket that doesn't fit (given to a Shogun rider), an Index helmet that is not certified but looks nice enough for ignorant guests, and a free oil change at 1,000 k. Very happy with the rascal, though I'm only getting 41kms/l, heavy handed in and around town.
