Hello Guys,

 

My friend asked me to check this motorbike brand "Can-Am Spyder"

I have no any idea what model, or any, he just sent me the pict.

is there any shop / dealer around in Bkk? new of second hand is OK to have a look,

Will appreciate any relevant reply,

Thanks

Google search will show there are no dealers in Thailand.  As it is not possible to register a used bike imported into Thailand, your friend is SOL

try the sea doo shop right next door to BMW motorcycles in smart sakhon.

No Official Dealer. Grey market dealers for anything. Good luck trying to get a green book for it.

For Thailand the official distributor is Kunka Corp... and they can be registered without much problems...

 

You can call DELETED

 

PM for details

Thanks for the info. No LOS dealer shows on CanAm website, hence my assumption.

AASUMPTIONS , making an ass out of me and ...

As much as I like the design of the Spyder, the wide stance would put me off buying one for zipping around town.  Back home where lane splitting is illegal (and enforced), the Spyder looks great.  

 

Here in Thailand (especially BKK) where lane splitting is the only way to beat the horrendous traffic in the city, I'd go for air conditioning and seat belts or a 2 wheeler.  

 

Not the worst of both worlds- the crazy dangerous nature of a scooter, the sun beating down on an un-air conditioned ride, and still too wide to split lanes- resulting in sucking diesel fumes all the time in the city.

 

If you live in the boondocks, go for it.  And please post back how you like your ride.

there is a large kiwi chap in pattaya who has one that has been fitted with hand controls, due to the him being crippled.

he rips around on it , admittedly mainly up-country and he loves it.

Personally i am not a fan as the traction control seems to remove all the drifting ability.

If i could fit one with a turbo charged hayabusa motor then it would be a must have .

I know a few people who ride them in Oz - all very positive reports.

 

It is quite different to riding a motorcycle from what they say - fantastic cornering and braking though.

 

You just have to get used to not counter steering!

Thanks for all the replies guys,

first of all to repeat, I am asking about this for my friend,

myself, I never and will never think to buy a such design, I got 2 wheels bike, and 4 wheels vehicle, fit for my usage,

Now, I just searched for Kunka as mentioned in above, their website under warning by antivirus telling me could :

Warning - visiting this website may harm your computer!

-----------------------------

As the guy he is going to send it to his home country, not to use it in Thailand,

if any recommended place to have a look , will be appreciated,

thanks

 

 

What is your friend's home country?

 

I'm not sure but I thought Polaris distributed them worldwide in many markets - I don't imagine it would make a lot of financial sense to export a vehicle from Thailand which had originally been produced outside LOS and had the 'happy Thai tax' added to it when imported here?

 

EDIT: Not Polaris but Bombardier/BRP (Sea-doo, Ski-Doo etc.)

I doubt that Thailand is the best International location to buy a Can-Am Spyder for export… I’m pretty sure that the Can-Am Spyder’s sold in Thailand are probably the most expensive location to buy one….

 

The Can-Am Spyder is manufactured in Valcourt, Quebec, Canada and it’s probably best you contact them for any international export order….

Thank you guys, appreciate your replies and advises,

I think you will find that it is a little bit more than a scooter.
