WindyGale Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Gents, Ladies. Has anyone bought a GPX Racing Thunder X 125 bike yet? They are made in Thailand and sell for around 50,000 TBH. I saw one up close a few weeks ago, looks OK for the price? A little taller than the Kawasaki KSR 110, although mods won’t be as accessible, nor really required. A prettier alternative to a Honda Click to go to the village market on…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirchai Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 These are new bikes, engines made in Thailand, maybe in China. Let them run for a while before you're even thinking about buying one. A Honda click might not look as good as this thing, but they usually run.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerkMR Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I just bought a Honda Zoomer X 3 weeks ago. Looks different to the standard small bikes, has a good driving, due to the broad wheels especially on bad road or off asphalt but due to the smaller wheel diameter the top speed is at 90 kph. Fuel consumption is pretty close to the official "52 km/l", we get around 50 km/l with a lot driving between towns at higher/fulls speed. 52k is not cheap, but you don't see them much (until now met 3 others in Kut Chap and Udon Thani).

WindyGale Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi Derk. The Zoomer is an 'unusual' design, I do like the look of it and it's very shopping friendly with the layout for a weekly shop Thai style. I was trained by the good lady on this Thai method earlier this year, (Honda Click XXXL) I'd need a pickup in the west for what we took home one afternoon! I wait in anticipation for the young lads to 'pimp' one up as they do with every other type of scooter around these parts. I'll keep looking into the Thunder X however, maybe I'll be reporting on this to you all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaRacer Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I saw one today and liked it. I could only test ride a badly set up MotoX version of the GPX Thunder and wasn't impressed. They told me to come back next week to test the Motard... Did you get it in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlycw Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 What's wrong with a Honda Wave 125 with EFI, a bullet proof engine and great resale value / low depreciation? Take care of it and you will get half a few years later. And selling it will be easy... 50 grand is too much to throw away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYKTHEMIN Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yes but the honda is such a boring ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
