Big Bike wreckers / Breaker yards around Bangkok

[eeeya]

With the popularity of big bike on the increase in Thailand and the increase of crashed bikes reported on Facebook / TV

where are all these wrecks ending up?

Ive searched high and low through out Bangkok and only found a few scooter wreckers.

Repaired and put back on the road.

Often wondered where the salvage yards are?..Some are total loss and cant be repaired but have lots of good parts that can be sold..

Insurances buy them to fix their insured bikes

Mocyc.com is always a good bet if u need spares.

In Thailand the wrecked bike market is a bit different than in most Western countries, not sure what the source is… maybe that the percentage of riders having Premium first-class insurance is very high.

In Thailand most totally wrecked motorcycles end up as property of insurance companies, and when the amount of wrecked motorcycles is large enough those insurance companies invite motorcycle traders and repair companies to auctions (mostly once a year).

It is extremely difficult to buy a wrecked motorcycle from a insurance company, even if the motorcycle was yours before….

So you could get a registered/invited agent to act/bid for you, maybe.

Sure, you could find somebody who bid/buys a specific motorcycle for you… Most of this auction have a few days when potential buyers can inspect the wrecks/motorcycles… so you can figure out what wreck is interesting enough to bid for...

He AllanB,

Not 100% sure what you mean with T-Cut and MOT, if you mean they will cut the frame and weld it together with another frame which has other damage… I can tell only the shadiest company’s do that, in Thailand if the authorities find somebody like this the punishment is not in line with the risk…

It is also difficult in Thailand because insurance companies are required to report the VIN numbers if a vehicle is totally wrecked… (Something to do with TAX back of payouts). So in modern Thailand if a totally wrecked VIN number resurface it will surely create some unneeded attention….

Its a pain to navigate sure.

Everything is there tho.

Spares and second hand parts at Thai prices.

T-cut is a paint cutting compound for polishing

You could try Red Baron on Ramkahmhaeng road. They have many used parts although most of them are imported from insurance right offs from Japan. Do a Google search for find their location.
