inventorinthailand Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, I'm leaving BKK for Jomtien in 2-6 weeks. I have decided to buy a Kawasaki Versys 650 this week but where should a buy it? In Bangkok or Pattaya? What are the pros or cons to have a BKK bike in Pattaya? Will a BKK bike be more likely be stopped by the police for coffee/sangsom support money in Pattaya/Jomtien area? Thanks Edited January 23, 2012 by inventorinthailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wana Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 you'll be more likely to get stopped because youre a farang on a big bike then riding it with plates from another province out of all the times ive gotten stopped in thailand its never been about the plates ( they stop you from the front by blocking the road so if your going to be stopped ul be waved to the side before they would get a chance to read your plates ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway i went to Real Motorsports today and had hopes to buy a yellow/black Versys today and this was whats welcomed me.

But after talking with a sales representative, i was told that it is 8 weeks waiting time on the Y/B. 8 weeks . I could get a black one in Februari but i want the yellow/black... Tomorrow i will call them in Pattaya and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yep there's quite a wait for them. I received my 2012 Ninja 650 on the 21st December 2011 (i was the 3rd in Bangkok to get one) but that was only because i had heard rumors about this new model 8 months. Putting a deposit down 4 months before the bike was released entitled me to position number 3 in the que We will have to arrange a little ride out somewhere during April (school holidays) as there's quite a few of us who have these 650's now Put your name down soon because these 2 month waiting lists seem to be common place across Thailand, Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
