MaciejKlimowicz Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hello,<br><br>I'm thinking about buying a Kawasaki GTO 125. I found an offer online. As I've never bought a second hand bike before I'd like to know what to pay attention too. I'm already reading on in after a google search but I'd like to know you opinion. Especially when it comes to documents here in Thailand - how to make sure everything is in order, the bike has not been stolen, I can register it etc? I'm a bit suspicious as the bike is very cheap:<br><br><br>http://bangkok.craigslist.co.th/mcy/2407089578.html<br><br>Another thing - I don't have a driving license for motorbikes - will I be able to register it?<br><br>thanx in advance,<br><br>Maciek<br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowflake Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think the simplest way to check all the docs are is to drag the bike to the transport department- when they change the book to your name, it should be ok... If not in bangkok, slip one of the guys there a red note and they can check it all for you! NEVER trust the seller 100 percent... Good luck...

Good luck... yepp, bring bike, book and seller to DLT, Department of land Transportation. They will check bikes ID before accepting transfer to you. Do not trust a garage to do this check you need two docs to register in your name. Passport including valid permit to stay certificate of residence, from Immigration or your embassy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
