Malthus101 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Does the Nouvo SX have fuel injection? Saw one today, looks like a nice scooter. I like the look of the older Nouvo Elegance bikes but I think they stopped making them and they are carb, right? So if Honda and Suzuki are going FI only then I'm sure Yamaha will too which means selling a carb bike might be harder in a years time when I leave. Hmm...

Malthus101 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 #1 cause of death in Thailand is motorbike accidents. Yes, you can buy and drive one (generally need to show residency to buy/register it, or put it in someone else's name). The Thai DL takes about 2 days to get and the tests are complete BS, but doesnt cost much. Where a helmet and long pants (unless you like skin grafts) and drive as if there is a bounty on you and every Thai is trying to collect it. Driving motorbike at home for 22 years just barely qualified mt yo ride in BKK. Good luck. Exactly ! The fun and convenience is not worth the risk ! Hey vtjforyou! In the year 2012 - 7,784 fatal car accidents in Bangkok - you are not immune! An amusing video of Russian road accidents (not graphic, just funny) This is Thailand - can't be far off Russia in terms of road lunacy... Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-l4w-DIiXk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19bry Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Your friend is stupid to advise how to die...But maybe the idea of a lifetime wheelchair is worth the fun ? Up to you... Are you the guy that lives down the street, wraps his body in cotton balls before he leaves the house, and makes sure that he does not step on a crack? No, but I have a brain. And i suspect no sense of adventure Hospital adventure ? No thank you, I let it for you, my Benz gives me enough excitement :-) So the OP comes on here asking for advise about getting a scooter for a 6 month stay and your advise is get a Benz ?
