Mate as i have been told before for an extra 7000-10000-ish baht you can have yourself a brand new one.. Up 2 U as they say..Otherwise all the motorbike dealers sell (high priced in my insignificant opinion) second hand bikes in decent nick..happy trails.

Any recommendations in the lower end of the four stroke range. 150 - 250cc ?

Plastic pig wise, a brand spanker 100cc is only about 30-odd k and a 125, around 40k - basic models. Those Yamaha direct drive scooters go alright and look a laugh. Doesn't matter if you look a tit because everyone's in the same boat here. No point in getting a super-duper 150 or 175 as not as easy when on a bender.

I saw an ad tacked up on the billboard outside the Kasem Store yesterday for appeared to be a late model motorbike. I think the owner wanted 21,000 for it and said there was some urgency to sell. Might still be there. Good luck.

Thanks, which kasems was it?

I've got a mate who has a motorbike rental place up there, but bigger bikes. I think he dabbles a bit in the buying and selling as well. He's a bit flaky though. PM me if you want me to put you in touch

Anyone know of good places for 'old' bikes... not quite the classics, but 60's-70's style Honda's that aren't too big, but look quite nice when done up.

I bought one about 7 yrs ago from the market that used to be under 12 Huay Goaw. Cost 9k, in av. condition. Saw one completely restored a few months later completely restored for 40k. Its on its last legs now though.

These days they have become quite fashionable, but rediculously expensive - saw a real nice 250cc one, dual pipes, but they wanted 70k.

Info on good repair shops for such bikes also welcome.

I would suggest that you check with my friend 'Joe' at Good Will motorcycle on Soi2 Chiang Moi (intersection with Thai Military Bank). Phone is 251-186. He's selling/fixing various bikes, some he has owned, and you can trust him. Seriously.

Every SAT . if it Don't RAIN there will be a Garthering at the Thapae Gate . Chekc it out .. and there is alot of Bike collector .. Go there to look for . Repair info .

but i would not Suggest buying there.. unles syou know them well.

alot is price too high .. but is a large group of collector which can point you to good direction ..

i saw some of the honda 50 cc . selling for 10k or so .

i got a friends selling his Honda 250cc for 30k . but without paper work . ( risk )

For old classic bikes in Chiang Mai try Ray's Dream Bikes
