Two points of caution re buying bikes - the kilometres are routinely wound back at dealers and a lot of the people selling bikes at Ruamchok are actually dealers. Also, it is far more difficult to sell a bike then buy one in Thailand. However, you are still better of owning one both financially and for your safety.

Thanks for the update mate awesome now the big question is are you going to get leathers or what maybe the bigger bike just in case you want to do longer rides
@WalkAboutWayne2 жыл бұрын

Good morning Mr wyne,do you know if how much tje Tag Prize of GT 1w5 2nd hand motorbike.i
@WalkAboutWayne2 жыл бұрын
I'm guessing you mean the Yamaha GT 125? Depends how old the bike is. I would say anywhere from 25,000 to 35,000 Baht.

Not the most orthodox way of spending your hard earned. Buying a beautiful bike from somebody you can't communicate with properly. Not a how to do it video but how I did it video. Very entertaining as ever Wayne. I hope that it all works out well for you. Drive it safely.

Yes, my vlogs are never telling "HOW" in Thailand, but more how i do it. I've actually walked away with a right bargain this time, so lady luck was on my side. Thanks.

Do they have the after market parts for bikes like fat rear tire swing arm xtension
@WalkAboutWayne2 жыл бұрын
Parts are easy to get for certain bikes but i think the bigger bikes, you would need to order parts in.

Hi Wayne, Congratulations on the purchase. You must be so excited to have your own bike. I would have been just as picky as you. Let's face it, you want what you want. Nobody went home happy by settling for near enough. Now to name the new family member. 🏍

Good thing about Thailand is the cost for repair of a motorbike is just so damned cheap compared with the west. So unless you buy a real lemon, you got a good deal.
@WalkAboutWayne2 жыл бұрын
So true, repairs and fuel is so cheap. I filled the tank on 120 Baht and the service at Honda was 420 Baht. It's incredible really.

"Wayne has his Happy Mushrooms and nearly decides to buy a bike, cause he loves the colour of it haha". The click is fine for 150km rides man. No worries. Must say the PCX drives a bit more relaxed if you go faster, say 70 to 80 km an hour. Congratz with the bike man!
@WalkAboutWayne2 жыл бұрын
Color is the main thing for me mate, i've got to look at it, if i like the color i move onto engine and how it runs. The PCX and AEROX look cool . Thanks buddy.

@AVRO filmvideo just got my wife a Vespa 150S it’s in a different league for comfort, stability just everything really. Birthday treat for her, but it rides like a dream….I’m a car man but I will drive this Vespa…..Wayne should have had a word with me, got a Honda click 125cc that I would have let him have at a silly price as a favour. Mai pen rai….
