angryfarang Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has bought one of these from Britbike? I'm very tempted to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 go for it. I've heard nothing but good reports about the bike and the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Silly question... Due to my workload I'm very limited on time. I was going to enquire about them sending it on a trailer down to Samui for me. Do you think that would work? Would I have to go with them to the local government office to register the bike in my new name? I'm not sure how it works with a new bike.

papa al Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Maybe call Brit n ask him/them, if he speaks British. English. Sounds like a good plan really. Edited April 15, 2016 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGAD Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) M2 Motorsport in Ubon is nearer and is a huge company with very professional service. Some staff speak Engrish too. I don't work for them, just offer an alternative option only. I'm sure Britbike are good too. BTW. There are spy shots around of a new forthcoming 800cc version.

papa al Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Britbike is in BKK. Samui is closer to BKK than Ubon by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familyonthemove Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Great bike, but I'd consider a Street Twin for Thailand. Had a Triumph triple in UK, excellent on decent roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Can't stand the noise a twin makes. I bought a brand new Ninja 650 a few years ago, kept it for a week and sold it, sounded awful. 3 or 4 cylinders for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a brand new Ninja 650 a few years ago, kept it for a week and sold it, sounded awful. 3 or 4 cylinders for me. The 650 Kawa indeed doesn't sound great. But a parallel twin with a 270 degree crank like in the Street Twin can sound pretty sweet. V-Twin-ish. I can understand people who prefer a inline 3/4 cylinder sound though.

thaiguzzi Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 That is one scary motorcycle. Not even a front brake (flat tracker). That pic should also go in the Loud Pipes saves Lives thread. Fire that up in the neighborhood and it would pi$$ a few people off - love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Kenny Roberts agrees. Said it was the most scary bike he has ever ridden. And this from the King himself - so must be Bad ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiguzzi Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Perfick street bike - just add a decent front brake, a little Bates front headlight, a winky tail light off some 50's or 60's Italian moped, some form of starting, either thumb or kick, and bish bosh - head out on the highway. Marvelous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlest Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 im debating the same - either a triple or a kawasaki Z800 - both get great reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much lighter, sweet engine, better components. But wait a few months, the new 765 is out fo 2017. New Street Triple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 That and the Z800 also either will get an update or get kicked out of the product line because of Euro 4. It's really dated now. I'm sure they'll update it as it's a quite popular model. Right now is a bad time to buy unless you know you don't want the updated version and can snatch up a good deal on left over stock. Wait until after EICMA in November would be my advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
