BirdsandBooze Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Type in Honda MSX125 Thailand in your search and there's a good chance you'll find a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberSideDown Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I got one in November- I think it was 74K- fun little bike, but it encourages hooliganism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) sonic is better. powerful engine better ergonomics. keep it or get the new suzuki raider 150 cc air cooled dohc 4 valve engine. i think 65k - 70k thb. blue one looks cool.

English_M_in_Bkk Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Brakes on the Sonic suck, MSX is a more modern and fun bike - I am too big to ride one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a look at the Suzuki site. I'm not sure they sell many Jelatos if this is how they view it. The Boring Killer. Hmmmm...

nikster Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) ^^ ROFL. Doesn't Suzuki also sell a scooter called "Smash"? Nothing quite like the MSX125 out there, go for it. Easily the best looking little bike and it's a Honda so it should hold its value pretty well too. Edited January 19, 2014 by nikster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackArtemis Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I test drove one by renting it for 24hrs. Man did I hate that seat. I either sat too far forward and had problems with the clutch and foot position or I sat on that little hump and hurt my ass. The power was OK for 125cc, but I don't see why it is 30,000B more than my friend's zoomer x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong! Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 ^ Honda seem to be in the habit of making stupid seats at the moment. The new Wave has a similarly badly placed hump in it as does the CB500X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Suzuki Raider or MSX 125. Write down a list of what features and specifications you want e.g. Manual transmission Disc brakes Under 90 kg No more than 71,000 Baht on the road. etc. It will help you to decide and help people here to help you choose.

RubberSideDown Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's true the MSX-125 seat is an a$$-breaker- I've been meaning to order a better one. I have zero problems with the clutch or transmission, and at 6'2", I fit on it without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Suzuki raider has double the power of msx 125, has 6 speed tranny and much more better ergonomics. It is light and fast and cheaper than msx125. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taninthai Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 new msx 125 comes out this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackArtemis Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 The MSX has a 200cc upbore kit too. Personally, I would like to take the msx and upbore kit and better shocks and a disc brake and throw them on this: Just to surprise the crap out of the little fino racer boys.
