ll2 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 89 k thb for sh150i is superb! Normally it is 98 k. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKS22 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 89 k thb for sh150i is superb! Normally it is 98 k. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app I did a little research on the SH....and it looks nice and received excellent reviews. But I can't figure out why it costs more than a PCX. It appears to have the same engine, but less creature comforts! ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAZZPA Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 They are all standard (ish) pricing and to be honest when I was looking around I never found too much of a difference. I chose a bigger garage when I bought mine because of the convenience of service etc,, I might have saved a few thousand baht if I shopped around but nothing major. You don't say how big / tall you are but I am 5"10 and 100k and I would steer well away from the smaller scooters. So, for the scooters you mention the PCX150 is by far the better deal. (I have one) It is a good size for a foreigner, has decent storage for a helmet etc and is very smooth and easy to ride. The SH150 is not worth the extra money at all.. The Forza is the bigger brother of the PCX150 with a 300cc engine, more comfortable etc, etc. but of course a lot more money. So, if money is no option buy the Forza, if not buy the PCX150.

iamariva1957 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If it is price that is the question and you just want a scooter for town and one that willnot cost a great deal and will give you good service without paying for the Badge that says Honda or the like... then check out Lifan. It might be Chinese made, but it is the largest maker of motorbikes in the world and easy to maintain and have repaired here in LOS. Sort of a copy of the Hondas anyway (engine especially). The prices are far lower and they are reliable. I have had one for 2 years and it has never once been to the garage to be fixed. Everything works. Okay so I had to tighten down a few of the add-ons (mirrors, etc) but they are put on here in Thai... Just my suggestion if price is an issue. Besides for the prices they are coming in at... why not spend what you save on something more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodie Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just a question from a guy that does not know much about bikes. I see quite a few late model good looking bikes with low kms advertised at around the 20k mark. Is that an option if price is an issue? Just asking and I hope this is not a thread <deleted>.

If it is farang owned, has good service documentation, and you think the 1st owner has broken it in correctly, then likely you could find a good buy 2nd hand.

Richard-BKK Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 your will get 3 to 4 thousand off paying cash That is interesting, knowing that a motorcycle dealer is actually making money by selling it with installed payments... So paying cash they make less money and give discount... anybody else has the same experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Don't know about exact models but 2 weeks ago in a small town I was told that Honda 125's start at 47,000 & 150's at 72,000. I am sure there are discounts for cash and small towns cheaper than big city franchises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbreath Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have heard that the dealer in Bowin (East of Sri Racha) has the best prices on Honda products. Example: PCX 150 for around 65k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice4351 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The Honda Forza is 5 steps above all the other bikes you mention. If you plan and any long rides it is worth the money. I love the PCX and it gives you the best bang for you buck. I seriously considered it 2 years ago when the 150cc model came out, but I ended up buy the SYM GTS 300 Evo for 152,000 baht and am very glad I did as I love the bike. However, you cannot go wrong with a PCX in my opinion. Mityon owns almost all the bike shops in Pattaya, so it really does not matter where you want to buy it here--the price will be the same!

Farfetched Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Forgot to add: Honda Forza 170,000 baht Forza should be 163,000 to 165,000 incl. Taxes, registration and Insurance, if you finance it. That is what I am being quoted now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger01 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I bought a Honda Wave 110 electric start for 42000 bht in November, came with two helmets, two jackets and a duvet???? seems OK. Lifan's are cheaper and offer good value for money but quality is poor when compaired to a Honda!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Good to see the SH150 reduce to 89K from 99. It is the best true scooter of these, but it will never become popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 your will get 3 to 4 thousand off paying cash That is interesting, knowing that a motorcycle dealer is actually making money by selling it with installed payments... So paying cash they make less money and give discount... anybody else has the same experience? Sadly no. They will perhaps give you a cheap helmet and a cheap jacket and that's it. On another note; I bought my pcx 150 at the Bowin dealer in 2012 when the 150 just came out and I saved something like 5K baht compared to Pattaya prices. After 3-4 month the prices sort of leveled out when the peak demand was gone and most dealers had stock. I am very happy with the 150, perfect for around town but lacks power out on the highway.

BSJ Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 don't forget new pcx comes out any time now probably around 80k While I was waiting at Mityon Thepprasit Rd for the PCX150 to be serviced I asked the girl's in the showroom when the new PCX would be here. 2 months was the answer.

Lokie Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 PCX out of the sub 100k scooters, but Forza all the way for comfort and longer runs, Honda have the best build quality period Lifan... well, you get what you pay for, there is a reason they are cheap, mite look the same but cheap all the same, with cheap inferior components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirchai Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Sorry, Scooterboys and girls. Not wanting to destroy your dreams... As an old biker, I can tell you that most scooters just contain a lot of plastic shit and are not worth buying them. Why not buying a classic bike, that's' reliable? Our Yamaha 110 cc has 60 K on the clock, runs faster than most scooters do, never changed piston rings, or any other parts, excluding the clutch. I freaking hate these ricecookers..If you do like them, please install some fancy lights underneath. Edited February 27, 2014 by sirchai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bung Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I doubt you are destroying anyone's dreams by slagging off scooters but you do realise it's 2014 and we are in South East Asia? Who would want a Yamaha 110cc with 60k on the clock? A classic? Hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
