karlos Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Just one more thing to consider when buying a secondhand bike (over 2 or 3 year of age) ..... correct me if i am wrong.... You can't insure them for anything more than just third party damages only, meaning if you drop or more likely get knocked off that R6 kiss goodbye to the 418,000baht spent on it As said i might be wrong but i couldn't find any where to insure my VFR400 first class last year. This yet another reason why i'm getting the 2012 ninja 650, it' costs just 10 - 13k to insure it first class out here, bargain I've had no issues insuring a 2005 GSXR600 with first class insurance. 16k a year. It's registered as a 2007 but they still insured it when they thought it was registered in 2005. Ditto, no problem insuring my K5. I used AA Insurance Brokers. 18k baht for 350k coverage and all the other stuff, can't remember the details. I stand corrected, the insurance company i used before hand said that i couldn't insure a second hand bike first class, guess they didn't want me taking my business elsewhere. I thought it was a bit strange. It's nice to know that i can get 1st class when i part exchange the 2012 ninja 650 in a couple of years time Edited November 21, 2011 by karlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Congratulations, I think a 600 Supersport is a great choice of bike for Thailand, many happy kms on mine. Somewhere between the 650 Kawasaki twins and the big litre bikes - nice place to be . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Cheers JonnyF already feel at home on a 600 but will not rule out a move a bigger bike in the future. :-) The 600 RR bikes are a nice place to be. I had the 600 Honda & later the 900RR The 900 was more comfy on longer than 2 hour rides but in the twisties the 600 was actually more fun & I could go faster than bigger bikes in my company. Mainly because (in my case)I could get on the gas sooner & brake later in the turns. But they are/were both great! The 600's love to sing & the power band was in the 10k+ rpm range. The 900 of course had more torque & a wider power band. The only reason the 900 was more comfy on longer rides was that bit of less buzziness with its wider power band. But both were great! I am sure you will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the delivery was delayed especially here in Thailand 55555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
