Austhaied Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm in the market for a second hand motor bike.between THB20,000 and THB30000.Any ideas anybody? Cheers 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.

lamphun Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Any recommendations in the lower end of the four stroke range. 150 - 250cc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited October 6, 2006 by jackr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamdomChances Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoloFlyer Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited October 10, 2006 by Ajarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
