LammyTS1 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I stopped reading when Vespa was rated first. 555Sent from my [device_name] using http://Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I’m surprised that Japan only have 2 scooters in the top 10 but clearly Italy still rule the roost.Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new 150cc Honda click looks to be of interest but I don't know when it will be available in Thailand. I ridden one in Indonesia a couple of years ago (its called a Honda Vario) it's not too bad but a yamaha Aerox 155 is way better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick kennedy Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have a click from new now 4 years old with all services,It is superb,I got around the front basket,I put a hook inside the front,thats useful but I also fitted a basket inside the front it carries many things by hook for small and larger fits inside the basket.The basket runs from one outside of the click to the other side and holds a lot.Easy to fit just use the existing screws that hold the fairing and no problems whatsoever.Also if I want to carry big stuff the basket comes off very quickly and you can load whatever fits in the well.The click is very reliable and as someone said easy to manage in traffic,has good speed and power.If anyone wants to know where to buy the basket just message me and I will reply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for the Honda Forza or Yamaha Xmax, both good scooters lots of leg room and good power 300cc engine both around 168,000 new, if a bit pricey the Yamaha Nmax has good leg room and only 82,000.

LammyTS1 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 are there any scooters especially suitable for very tall men ? The GTS 150 & 300 are the large frame Vespas. Plenty leg room. 149k for the 150 & 199k for the 300. Scomadi TL & TT also plenty leg room & sits high off the ground.99-110k for the 125 & 168-175k for the 200.

ktm jeff Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Those Scomadi scooters are said to be very well designed and built. The 200 uses an Aprilia engine and to 400 a Suzuki Burgman engine , due this year. Would a 400 be called a "super scoot" ?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeat for the TriCity ... i think the SH has a lot going for it, especially for tall people, its the no.1 seller in italy, but seeing how thais have an issue reaching the ground even in high heels, i can see how they werent thrilled getting an even bigger bike. i see the same brought up by vertically challenged western men about big bikes, a lot of attention goes into the part how they are going to reach the ground ?! the no.1 argument seem to revolve around the ever present question: "how can i reach the ground ?" i know myself, if i ever were to buy another big bike, my very first question would be: am i going to burn my feet or leg on the exhaust wearing flip flops ? tho this is an issue for everyone regardless of length, and i consider it faulty built Edited April 17, 2018 by poanoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The flat floor look did it in for me - looks like a Click. If they were better sellers I probably would have bought one, but the PCX been trouble free except for a cut rear tire.

LammyTS1 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Production was delayed for all models as it was moved from China ( on-going legal case ) to Thailand. Wouldnt expect anything before late 2019 , if they still plan to use the Suzuki engine. Its an old design.The 200 came out of the Thai factory on sale Sept 2017 & the new fuel injected 125 came out last month. Hopefully they are now concentrating on the 400 so hope to see it in 2019.Last year Scomadi bought the rights and tooling to the Franco Morini 385 engine that was used in the Malaguti Madison 400, which was based on the single cylinder Suzuki Burgman 400. Both engines were carb fed but the new Scomadi will be fuel injected. The tooling I would hope should already be here in Thailand.Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thats good. I think many small bikes will be FI soon. It cant add too much on to the build price. Now lets see what happens with the 400 , now production of all the models has switched to Thailand. These will be premium scoots though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tofer Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Anyone have an opinion about the Honda Move? I wanted to buy my wife one since I got fed up of her dropping my PCX, but she swooned over a Scoopy in the showroom. Then she managed to jackknife that, to be fair on our steep dusty road.

nev Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Ok help me decide, Which one is the better scooter and value for money the Xmax or the new Forza, Both the same price. I have have been wanting the Xmax from when it first came out but now the new Forza is out l am starting to lean towards this bike, I like the Pirrelli tyres as standard and the electric visor. Power wise I think the Nmax comes out on top, economy wise the Forza wins?. By the way my wife wants the Forza mainly because of the better colour choices. Thanks for any help.
